Onyx- there's one main book and then optional expansions which are fun. I think each is $9.99, but it's probably more like $19.99 these days. If you've got a creative family, then the Universalis game sounds fun.
The freeform adventures sound totally fun! I love the idea of the high magician and ceiling-fan barbarian.
I started something like that on the old ISCA BBS in the early days of the internet before the web took off. It was a forum called Camelot and I started this long story called "The Quest". It was freeform but a friend and I created most aspects of the world and the antagonists. It was really neat, and I might make a book out of it someday.
Fable's great but your mileage on the XBox might be limited- I think next year they're coming out with XBox 2. But that means prices will be dropping.

Look at why people go into the army. It's made to appeal to those with lower income, with harder lives. Now some of those people might believe the rhetoric about good and evil. And if the Iraqis are evil, then they get whatever's coming to em, right? Because we're the good guys. And if you've had a tough life, what feels better than humiliating some Iraqis who deserve it?
That's the mindset.
Add in any number of people who see the Iraqis as human beings in a different situation (not necessarily draftees- just anyone like that), and you lower the chances of it happening, but it still very much could.

Ok, I have some new data from the polls and averages. It's based on statewide polls from October 28th through October 31st. It's basically the same, except now Kerry has Wisconsin and Hawaii. The count I'm predicting will be
Bush: 277
Kerry: 252
Iowa could reverse, however. It's only seperated by .31 of a percentage. In that case it would be:
Bush: 270
Kerry: 259
Too close to call, basically.

My whole school's against Kerry...what do they know though 
If I was old enough to vote, I'd go with Kerry...although he -does- look like one of those plastic figures you see in toy stores...Oh well.
There's a nice downloadable pc game. It's called Planeshift (www.planeshift.it). It isn't finished yet and the version they have up now is just a part of it. They're almost finished with the newer version though (not the final yet). The good thing about it is that it'll always be free. The graphics are pretty nice and it's real-time so yah...there's supposed to be combat in the upcoming release.

I don't care what Kerry looks like, I just think it would be nice if he had a constant opinion about something.
I used to play freeform RPG's in college. We had one game where all three players were playing two copies of themselves. Two of us also played minor villains in a subplot, and I sometimes took over for an NPC since the GM had borrowed the character from me.

If someone other than me must be president, let it be Lucien LaCroix! At least then we won't be settling for the lesser<0> of two evils!
Mua-ha-ha-ha-ha-hahhhh!!!!!!!!!

If it was me, I'd make Britney Spears president...heck, the whole senate would get laid...it'd give young people an incentive to participate in politics
Prof, I don't think I've played Toon, but I did sit in on a one-shot game of it. Fun, funny, and with plenty of opportunities to be creative, not just fightfightfight and collect treasure. I liked that about White Wolf's Changeling, too, which I was very much into for a while. Some of their writers live around here, and I got to play in the same campaign with them!
I don't see how Bush could possibly get a second term unless he steals the election (and how could that ever happen? ).
At the same time, I'm not excited about Kerry either. He loves the Patriot Act and seems poised to use terrorism as an excuse to do pretty much anything, just like Bush.

The flip-flop argument is the saddest thing I've seen in politics in years. If that's all the Bush camp has to attack Kerry on, well, then Kerry should be proud. In fact, a president who's unable to change his mind when a situation changes is more scary than anything. Bush holds up this stubbornness as some sort of ideal. I myself was for war with Iraq when I thought they had WMDs but now seeing that the did not how could I possibly support the war? Of course it's too late now. When misinformation is revealed, things change. They must! Someone who stubborn clings on to a single opinion no matter what facts arise to dispute it isnt even fit to lead a camping trip. Did you know that 100,000 Iraqis are dead from our invasion? Certainly Saddam was a terrible man and shouldnt have been in power, but would he have killed that many people if he led the country for the rest of his life?
Is it true that if you repeat something enough people will believe it, no matter if it's true or not? It certainly feels like this election proves that point.

The way I figure, it doesn't matter who our president is, we'll still get screwed. But at least getting screwed by Kerry would be a bit of variety from getting screwed by Bush.
Heck, my bot could be a better president than either of them, and she doesn't even make sense!

I tend to agree with Douglas Adams: No one actually capable of being elected should be allowed to do the job. I would add that no one who actually wants<0> the job should be allowed to do it.
