This is a long shot, but does anyone happen to have a copy of the Super Mage Bestiary from Hero Games?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I can check with my friend the crazy game/book collector. Are you looking to buy?

Actually I found a source for an e-book version and bought it yesterday before I saw your post. But thanks for the offer of checking!

One of the video games I'm looking forward to is Little Big Planet. It's a very very cute family-friendly game that is pretty much the antithesis of what I usually like to play but i fin myself utterly charmed by it.
Anyway, here's a video which shows the introduction to the game. Image quality is so-so but I'm posting it because the narrator is Stephen Fry and there's a distinctly Fay-like comment of "Oh, Bless." a few minutes in.
I believe this video can only make you smile.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, LBP is pretty much just ridiculously cute. (Adorable, even!) I've been sucking up all the various videos even before I knew Stephen Fry was involved -- aside from the OMGCUTE, it actually looks like it's got some nice platforming and building stuff elements, which I love when I'm not otherwise occupied with bashing at things.

Oh, hey amych I forgot you were one of the PS3 crowd. We picked up a PS3 last week.
No games yet, just blu-rays. The Nightmare Before Christmas Blu-Ray is astonishing.

So Jilli says! I haven't seen it yet, but Blu-Ray quality overall is fantastic.

Coding and Sleeping
Has anyone tried Spore? It's a game I'm sort of interested in, but I'm unsure. Not that it really matters I guess, I'm queued up right now as I ever so slowly work my way through Oblivion.
