A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
LRR Book Club support suggestion. There's a site called Librarything.com which is basically private Facebook for books. You put in your books and it connects you with others with the same books - you can see their libraries, their recommended books, etc. It also gives you other recommendations for groups you might be interested in.
For a Book Club, you could create an LRR group on there. Their groups are basically message boards you can keep private or open up as you wish. Here's their blurb on groups:
>>
Who might use a group?
Couples can keep their libraries under separate accounts, linked through a group. Book clubs and other organizations can use them to assemble a searchable "virtual library." Users in a particular city or area can use it to talk and see what interesting "statistics" develop. Finally, you can set up interest-group communities, like "history" or "romance novels."

Just wanted to throw this in here in case the book club became a thing

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
Just a followup, you probably won't regret reading A Stranger in a Strange Land or most any other of Heinlein's works. Starship Troopers was a typical "take something to an idealized extreme, then threaten it" book. It's been awhile, but I don't recall any other books that used the same setting.
Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
Am I the only one here to find A Stranger in a Strange Land to be one of Heinlein's not that great?
The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress is, in my opinion, much better. Not to mention things like The Cat Who Walks Through Walls, Time Enough For Love and the most pun-per-page packed Number of the Beast. Or, if you prefer his short stories, I recommend Our Fair City. If The Number of the Beast is about aliens that eat mathematicians, Our Fair City is about running an actual whirlwind for public office.
I kinda like Heinlein's books, you guys.

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
There's also GoodReads for the LRR book club, its a great site, and has a very useful group funcionality. Both Cam and Alex have both given very good suggestions for books.
Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
I didn't like Stranger in a Strange Land at all. I don't understand why people like Heinlein. I tried reading the books because the synopsizes seem interesting, but they leave me disgusted and disappointed. They seem like perfect wastes good ideas.
Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
I'm sorry that this isn't directly about the stream, but it is related:
I am REALLY getting irritated with Civ recently. I just tilted out on a game with the Ethiopians, and in 150 turns I killed 79 Barbarian units, while in the middle of a jungle, with no hills for production, and while (as my scout revealed) the Barbarians were attacking NOBODY ELSE on my continent. The two other Civs had 5 encampments around them (sometimes within 1 tile of their border), and they ALL went after me to the exclusion of everyone else. Because of this, I fell back so far in technology, money, and units that the other two guys just declared war on me.
Raging Barbarians indeed!

Oh agreed, SIASL wasn't "great" in my opinion. It was an interesting kind of story, but I also didn't find the story all that interesting.
Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
During the Dark Souls stream, I noticed that you mentioned in passing that you played EVE. I'm not all that surprised (I think you said something during an earlier stream that made me think he had played), but when/where did you play? New Eden is still a cold, merciless place in case you were wondering.
When the upkeep takes longer than the main phase, I know I've done my job well.

All of that please yes.

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
Harder than Impossible? Two things:
1-Yes plz.
2-Those poor, poor rookies. I think the list of would-be rookie should be expanded to include everyone in chat (and possibly the chat of the official LoL stream, just so we're sure we won't run out)

Thing is, Cam didn't run out per se. There were just shortages of certain nationalities and sexes.

Re: A Swiftly Tilting Cameron
We just need to find a game that allows more freedom for naming the Lambs.
I started naming ships in Darkest Hour after forum members and LRR things, and modded in Cam as the admiral. Their survival rate is much higher than XCOM, to the point where one ship (Keab42's carrier) has managed to rack up around 20 kills.

As far as I can remember, there was only the one session.

Ahh, that's a shame. Hopefully in the future!
