That's the one I'm looking for. I saw one on Amazon that played a bunch of different formats but not AVIs.

Also do you know if Vividcon is going to do the same thing they did last year for their dvd set?

I haven't heard anything about Vividcon DVDs yet, and I don't actually own a Norcent, so I am little help.

Norcent got a two star rating on amazon.com.

I found the Cyber Home while browsing, it got a three star rating but it had more reviewers and people either loved it or thought it sucks.

The Norcent plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and VCD, as well as MP3 music and JPEG image CDs.

The Cyber Home plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3, and JPEG picture CD.

They are about the same price but I think I'm going to go with the Cyber Home just because the reviews are better.

How not to be hot:

Like hot satin, pressed so close and fitting so well, that he could feel her strange single pulse in her iliac arteries.

Okay, ick.

Maybe it's written for vampires?

"Cowboy Days" is really, really good. A bit of a wallow. But there is nothing at all wrong with that. I thought it was an excellent extrapolation from season two.

'Suela, did you mention this in here already? Because I got the link/rec from you. A Mirror For Observers, really freaking good SG1. And I feel like it's been a long time since I could put those works together. Long. Very long. But totally worth staying up to an obscene hour to read. One of the most well-fleshed stories I've ever read; the author surpasses probably the writers of the show itself with her knowledge of canon over the years, and her ability to bring it all together like I always secretly wanted. Can't reccomend this enough.

SA, I haven't recced that one here. It's interesting -- the writer has written a whole series of AUs based around that Danielle Jackson concept, including one or two that reverse the setup from "Mirror". If you go to Heliopolis and search on Ivory Gates you'll find "Alternate Endings", which takes the premise that they never figure out the whole puddlejumper-mirror combo, and wanders on from there. Also, there's "Obverse Variations", in which Daniel finds himself descended into Danielle's lab immediately after Kelowna, and can't figure out why.

I really like the creativity shown in the plotting, but I wouldn't mind less focus on romantic relationships, given the length of these stories.

If you go to Heliopolis

....I'm going to assume that this is a website? Because that was a weird collision of fandom and my reality just there.

...of course, I'm typing this looking out over the Valley of the Kings, so the past couple of days haven't exactly lacked for Stargate material. (It's odd how fiction infuses your take on reality. I swear, I more than half expected Amelia Peabody's Emerson to come and yell at me when I photographed a dig with a hand-written 'No Photographs!' sign stuck up haphazardly (and only visible once one had already taken photos and wandered on). And I found myself looking at these extraordinary tomb paintings and thinking 'Hmm...lot of snakes there. Huh. Guess we know why THAT would be, eh?' It's ...odd.)
