Fucking Game of Thrones bored the shit out of me.

That and the writing style was horrid.

If you want, I could infract you for advocating piracy. Which tends to be a day ban.

It's not, which is why I just changed the words he used a bit. And his second post did pretty much state he was saying to do something illegal

discussing piracy isn't against the rules, no one is posting links or providing instructions or anything.

I just watched V for Vendetta last night, kinda want to get the book now.

Thank you Exilement for making it clear and thank you Azure for trying not to ban me as a first option

Just got to ask... Why is that book so expensive?

No idea. Some books don't get printed unless you order them which makes them cost more, but this is the first one I've seen for more than £200. My best guess is that they have some kind of behind-the-scenes pricing formula which predicts their sales for the year and then prices to meet their costs, and it predicted sales of one.

There are plenty of books that cost thousands of dollars, although I'm not entirely sure why this one does

I just remembered that I would like to acquire this book someday:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUAKzkkKfBU

Basically, it's a book about Magic as they are represented in Video Game design and how one can develop their own system. The book goes on to cite tons of games both obscure and well-known and is also pretty much a programming book as well.

I can't buy it because of its very very hefty price tag. Ugh. I browsed a bit into it and it's just so damn cool that such a book exists! Hopefully they'll have a discount someday.

Is it really collecting books if their all part of the same series though?
