Hi, I've been lurking away.
I had been thinking of the Kindle & the Sony e-reader until I finally got an iphone & discovered that it can access free books as well.
(My monthly phone bill is 60-something, I didn't get stuff like text messaging, and I got the fewest minutes I could, which suits me fine, plus I have a small discount as a gov. employee)

forgot the big one: direct from amazon. just search books from low to high:

I do know about JASS (wc3jass.com), but I'm still using the building blocks of the editor to learn what to be looking for.

Once you know "(Units in (Playable Map Area) Matching (((Matching Unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)" by heart you can start to write the code itself, but the editor is a lot of dropdown lists and multiple choice options to choose from,

Just wanted to make sure you knew this, Ixo (I apologize if I'm correcting you on something you know), but the WC3 editor codes for shit. You'll need to find a Jass editor(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JASS), and rip out all the failcode, then replace it with wincode (Imagine if WoW's basic interface made the game run at 1/10th speed, or something).

Several maps to look at:

I'm a long time lurker, but thought I would break my silence and ask...where on the intertron are these classic books you can get for free ? Could you provide a link please ? I was tempted to write that in intergeek speak like say "link plox!" but yah....

I haven't heard of Kindle before. I should look into it. It sounds so smart considering I'm currently paying $80/month just so I can read blogs & guild forums when I'm at the airport.

That cover you made is pretty sweet. I borrowed a Kindle from the library and it had a generic-y black leather one, hard and unforgiving, and more trouble than good. I like yours much better.

If you do manage to make a way wherein the player can complete quests in the Warcraft III engine, I'd love to try it. I'm always intrigued by people who can take a system confined by a set of rules and make it do something different.

Ah, the cruel irony that my most recent post has two huge pictures, when I usually just write walls of text.

Good to see you're still hammering at the scripting stuff trying to build that door wedge, Ixo! I remember trying out the StarCraft scripting stuff... I didn't have the patience for it, but I saw that it was powerful and could empower a lot of creativity.

i have to shamefully admit I still haven't bought it.

I've been caught up in the job search, and suffering thru Ony pugs that rage quit break up after one wipe. Aion is still on my to-do list, but I just have bigger fish to fry atm.

I haven't encountered one of the Kyndle's quite yet, but I got my hands on a Sony Reader and thought they were quite amazing.

I want to get one eventually, because I know I'll thoroughly enjoy it, but I still need to commit to investing in it. But, from my experience, the books from Kyndle's bookstore are sometimes much cheaper then paper copies and that in itself would
