| MattH | Hiya CM |
| Elais | hiyas matt |
| Elais | hopefully smallville will be decent tonight |
| MattH | Yeah - I watched last weeks on Monday....everything I disliked about Charmed and Witches of Eastwick |
| Elais | at least it is starting out good |
| MattH | This is the "Lex murders some girl" ep, right? |
| Elais | yup |
| Elais | lana still manages to be in it though |
| MattH | Well, yeah....KK is a regular. |
| Elais | I want lana to have as little screen time as possible |
| MattH | Hmm...I don't know how I realized that, but I did ;-) |
| MattH | I would rather see more Lois and Chloe, myself |
| Elais | so would I |
| Elais | ah, Jane Seymour as Jason's mom |
| Elais | never did really like her |
| MattH | Really - she was a great Bond girl |
| Elais | which one was she in? |
| MattH | Live and Let Die - She played Solitaire |
| Elais | that's the voodoo one? |
| MattH | Yep |
| Elais | don't remember that one too much |
| Elais | honey rider is still my favorite Bond girl |
| MattH | They all blur together after a while. |
| MattH | I can't say I have a favorite Bond girl... |
| Elais | do you have a favorite Bond? |
| MattH | Brosnan...I was a real big Remington Steel fan too... |
| Elais | I liked Remington Steele in the beginning |
| Elais | kind of lost interest though |
| MattH | Same here...it wasn't the same during the "just friends" phase |
| Elais | how did that show end? |
| MattH | Season 4 or 5 - there was a fake marriage so Steele wouldn't be deported. Was cancelled after that season |

| Elais | hi and bye amy |
| Elais | switched it a bit to Lost |
| Elais | I hope they reair it saturday |
| MattH | How is that show doing anyway? I haven't been following it. |
| Elais | I might have to download the ep later |
| Elais | it has been getting pretty high ratings |
| Elais | they've renewed it already |
| MattH | That's good. When they skipped Veronica Mars last week, I was afraid it had been cancelled. |
| Elais | I think VM has been renewed as well |
| MattH | That is what I heard...doesn't mean much though...after all, Tru Calling was renewed. |
| Elais | true |
| Elais | but fox treats good shows like crap |
| MattH | Fortunately, the reality TV craze seems to be dying out. |
| Elais | I don't expect it to complete die out |
| Elais | but I hope it becomes greatly reduced |
| MattH | Hopefully.... |
| Elais | although, The Amazing Race started up again |
| MattH | How are its ratings? |
| Elais | don't know |
| Elais | it premiered last night |
| Elais | I don't have the exact figures handy;-) |
| MattH | Fair enough...I know that most other reality shows have had their ratings drop considerably. |
| Elais | I think the problem with most of the reality shows is that very few of them can be syndicated |
| MattH | Yup - in the long run, Buffy or Angel will make more money than any of them. |
| MattH | Plus, I doubt people will buy DVDs of Fear Factor, either |
| Elais | but most execs see in the very short term |
| Elais | gonzo ratings NOW |
| MattH | Most execs don't last long. |
| Elais | looks like stuff actually happened on Lost |
| MattH | Is that unusual? |
| Elais | lately, most of the episodes have had extenstive flashbacks |
| MattH | Hmmm...more like Veronica Mars than I imagined...that show has at least 1 flashback an episode. |
| Elais | okay...onto the Daily Show! |
| Elais | the flashbacks focus on one particular castaway on the island |
| Elais | almost all the main characters have had their backstory partially shown |
| MattH | Makes sense..both shows need major backstory filled in. |
| Elais | I heard Arnie was in Japan |
| MattH | Yup - trying to pump up CA/Japan trade. |
| Elais | any sign he succeeded? |
| Elais | I should be getting my Buffy season 7 dvds soon |
| MattH | Too soon to tell...personally, I doubt trips like this do anything. |
| MattH | I will be ordering mine early next year...still haven't finished up watching my S5 & S6 DVDs |
| Elais | I'll probably be doing a marathon session this weekend |
| Elais | anything interesting happen to you? |
| MattH | Those are fun, but my stamina isn't what it used to be. |
| MattH | Just playing D&D this weekend....I have *tons* of prepwork still to do. |
| Elais | whats the scenario this week? |
| MattH | Same basic thing...I have a multi-level dungeon the players are exploring called "Ardivan's Keep" |
| MattH | I think I put the ground floor map on my website...they have cleaned that area out. I've also be posting session summaries. |

| Elais | christmas commercials |
| Elais | bah, humbug |
| MattH | 'Tis the season.... |
| MattH | Nice thing about not watching much TV...I don't see many of the commercials. As all of the shows I watch are recording, I just 'skip' past them. |
| Elais | is that a typical adventure? |
| MattH | Ardivan's Keep? |
| Elais | yeah |
| MattH | Big, multi-level dungeons are what started it all, but they have kind of gone out of fashion. Most adventures are more like 1-2 levels if they have any underground areas at all. |
| Elais | the quick and dirty adventures, huh? |
| MattH | Some of them aren't that quick...just that they have moved beyond the "big hole in the ground" phase. |
| Elais | do you still remember the first adventure you did? |
| MattH | That was over 20 years ago.... |
| MattH | But I vaguelly recall it....wasn't a published module. I received the Blue D&D boxed set for my Birthday (I think I was in 4th grade)..Read the books and sort of made it up from there, running some friends through. |

| Elais | how much D&D merchandise have you got? |
| MattH | D&D and other roleplaying games....enough to fill a bookcase. |
| MattH | The rules I am using now though, are freely downloadable. |
| Elais | ever been to a tournament? |
| MattH | Nah...been to a couple of cons a long time ago (10+ years) |
| Elais | I went to Dragoncon once |
| Elais | I wanted to check out some of the RPG stuff there, but never had enough time |
| MattH | The tournaments I went to were nothing but RPGs (and some Anime, for those who wanted a break) |
| Elais | one time at a fan party, I played a little bit of a Buffy RPG |
| Elais | I got antsy, though |
| MattH | I never got that RPG. |
| MattH | Antsy? Why? |
| Elais | I'm not very patient |
| MattH | Depends on the style of game...some areheavy into roleplaying...others can just degenerate into mindless violence. |
| Elais | it seemed to be taking so long |
| Elais | but I've never played a RPG game before |
| MattH | Depends on whose GMing it, also. Most start out slow, but once characters are established, can move fairly quickly. |
| Elais | that might have been the problem |
| Elais | it was a demo game |
| MattH | I prefer playing in an established campaign...more room for the character to grow. |
| Elais | yeah, I think I played Xander |
| MattH | Buffy was a little too low-magic for me to enjoy playing it. I also didn't like the D&D type stuff that crept in...didn't seem to fit. |
| Elais | yeah, it seemed a little odd |
| Elais | geez, I better get going Matt |
| MattH | OK .... see you next week. |
