Guys i just saw the coolest things. well if you like to read but like to hear it read to you instead. then you have come to the right place lol. if you have itunes they have just added star wars audiobooks with a ton of the books ive downloaded 3 already.

[Lord Maul]

iTunes is a rip off. a buck a song :shock: :shock:
talk about expensive.

i don't really like having books read to me. i can read way faster by myself and then there aren't the weird voices of the different characters.
that's just my .02 cents :wink:

Wow, I actually agree w/dm! :shock: What's gotten into me?
:o :wink:

Also on the SW audio books, the actions and stuff aren't decribed. For example, in lightsaber/blaster duels, all you hear is the sound effects. Feels blind 8) ...

Lots of stupid things now removed

You know for some reason I don't think I would have admitted to that on a public forum. RIAA, ASCAP, BMG and a few others are paying people a lot to sit around and search for people admitting things like that then busting them. Its a rather expensive fine for every file you have.

[xwingband]

That is also illegal.

You could go read the books too. Novel idea, isn't it? (awful pun there)

2/3 of a pun......pu

:shock: :shock: Edited, and pleaz remove the quote!

Too bad I've read all the SW books from my 2 local libraries & borders...

[987654321a]

i dont know what elrond wrote but i dont think that xwing was pointing in my direction because each audiobook costs around 12-15 bucks

[supertrogdor]

I am all for audio books, Few things rival Jim Dale reading Harry Potter, and i would far sooner pop in an audio book while driving than listen to the mindless drivel of a radio dj. While you can get a bad reader from time to time, once you involve yourself in the story, that fades away. Reading is grand, but when your hands and/or eyes are otherwise occupied(driving, cleaning house, taking care of younglings...) you can get the same benifit as having read the story yourself. Plus it helps young developing minds acquire a fondness for reading and helps them to become better readers. Props to you countdown on continuing your literary knowledge... you might even learn something.

by the way, not meant as a criticism, just an observation, i think you have been stiffing us for quite some time lm, while most people are willing to give 2 cents, you seem to think it fit to only offer 2 hundredths of one cent. Are you holding out on us? :wink:

Now there I have to dissagree. Stephen Fry reading the UK versions is much better IMO

do ya mean that as a joke, or are you serious???
if you are serious, i just don't really like typing a huge post so i condense it :wink:

[supertrogdor]

Stephen Fry is a grand actor. He did a fine job on wooster and jeeves, but i havent heard his reading of harry potter, you dont by chance have a sample you could share by chance, or perhaps a linky to some of his clips?

[Angelus Lupus]

Wouldn't it be illegal if I linked to a recording?
But he's available for torrent download I think

[Lord Maul]

super T, just have elrond give you the link. he already does stuff like that :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

and angelus, yes, it would be illegal

[987654321a]

i would think if its a small 30 second sample of somewhere random in the book it would be ok, or whatever you have his voice of.

[supertrogdor]

mostly i am after a sample, preferrably with a bit of main character banter in it. A bit of searching only pulled up that he narrated three of the harry potter games. No record of him doing the books that i could find.

[darthdan]

that's just my .02 cents :wink:.02 cents is two hundredths of a cent. He's saying you should use "2 cents" or "$0.02."

[Lord Maul]

:oops:
oops, my bad
revised, that's just my 2 cents :wink:

[elrond.406]

Still too tiny to be considered. :P

[Lord Maul]

and your cents have any more respect elrond :? :lol:

[jjshumpert]

do nimrod's cents get any recognition? here i just thought he was one of those anoying court jester types, or a clown of some sort... sometimes amusing but mostly just an agrivation.

and that friends is my buck fifty...

And Don'T CaLl mE nimrod!!! :x grrr..RAWR!

[Ryma Mara]

I see people use the .02 all over the web. Its just alot easyer to type sence noones getting tetnical about what it actually means. they use it for what it looks like.

[jjshumpert]

fb is the tcss jester, way loftier title than some small time court jester like nimrod...

and i would never put them in the same sentence, considering brother firebird actually has something to offer the forums instead of :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: or
"do your research before posting stuff... wow dont i make myself sound dumb"

Nimrod, we will keep calling you nimrod until you prove to us that we are worthy of calling you elrond.

[Lord Maul]

he was being good for a time, but he's gone back to the dark side of the Nimrods, so he gets the name back :?
