Re: Weirdest background noise
Update. The last 24 hours was some of the strongest winds that I have seen. At their strongest the wind was bending my family's garage doors inwards and almost ripping off the hinges and the doors. Needed a heavy ladder placed against the garage doors to keep them on. [p.s I didn't place the ladder ...

Re: What's a Book You Wish Was in the Public Domain?
This is a wacky out there answer. As an 80's kid I read a gazillion fantasy gamebooks. Yes, when you saw that nerd kid in your school library at lunch recess and he or she was throwing two dice and reading a book, that was probably me. Or a clone of me. Especially if they wore glasses. The amount of...

Weirdest background noise
Right now I have a storm outside. So no recording tonight. But it gets weirder. The wind has knocked over two nearby dustbins. They are rolling right now against a car. Roll, crash, bang, roll, crash, bang as the wind blows the dustbins and their lids back and forth. I could remove with a noise prof...

Re: Annoying words
I had a phase of about a year as a teenager when I could not say "statistics". I would say statistitics. Hopefully it was a statistical anomaly. [tish da boom!]

Re: Which Is The Best Stealth Game Franchise According To You?
Not normally thought of as a stealth game franchise. But what about Deus Ex? Sure, you can play it as a Rambo hee man who shoots anyone and wrecks the joint. But you can also do the whole game as stealth. Unlike other games where enemies shoot at you and you survive, if you get shot in Deus Ex it's ...

Bad Bad Tired Words
When I am tired as a native English speaker certain words go. I say "drafts" as "drats". Where's Dick Dastardly and Muttley?
I also find "th" words harder to say.
What are your tired words? [any language]

Re: Why Audio?
I even sent an email to Image Comics about them dropping the PDF comic book format. I wasn't abusive. I explained my concerns. They sent me a reply of quasi corporate gobbledygook. They had some brilliant comics. I also loved "Birthright" which is like Conan but the hero goes on farce miss...

Why Audio?
I don't read dead tree books anymore. My desk used to be set up to read them; now a computer, speakers, a microphone, a keyboard and other bric brac cover my desk. No space for a book! I only read digital books, either pdf or audio books. I also read some digital comics. I was enjoying Black Magick ...

Could I request Chapter 11? Maybe people wanted to avoid being bankrupt. Jokes aside, I am a newbie who just passed my 1 minute test. I will do my best.
