So, I came across two things recently which I dig. A lot. So rather than clog the forums with two separate threads, I thought it'd be more economical to talk about them both at once, despite them having nothing to do with each other. 
First thing: the game Wanted: Weapons of Fate. Rented it for the PS3 (would've gotten the 360 version but they were out of stock) and I have to say it's actually very good. Certainly leagues better than your average movie-based game. Goes to show that if publishers want a quality movie-based game that it can't be rushed - this game came out almost a year after the movie and it shows in its quality.
Second thing: the book Dragons Wild by the late Robert Asprin. It's awesome. Very original fantasy as far as I'm concerned. Basic synopsis: card shark learns he's secretly a dragon and uses his powers to run an illegal gambling ring in New Orleans. Very good fantasy read. Although I was distressed to learn the author died around this time last year.
So there you have it. If anyone can figure out what these two things have to do with each other I'll LOL.

...Come on, there's gotta be someone on these forums who wouldn't mind discussing either of these things, right?
I have insomnia at present and I got nothing better to do than troll the forums when I'm in such a sleep-deprived state.
Either discuss these things or help me get back to sleep.

Maybe you have insomnia because your freaky ass video games give you nightamares.

Wanted: Weapons of Fate isn't freaky! ...Well, there's this one ability, though, where you're wielding submachine guns and you can curve a burst of bullets from them, which is like 7 bullets at once. And then when they hit their target they all explode and there's blood everywhere.
...Okay, maybe it is freaky.
