Gone

[nostalgichild.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about reading the Gone novels by Michael Grant and I would be grateful if some of you guys could share their opinion on them.

I know that Michael Grant was co-writing Animorphs with his wife and that is why I wonder whether the Gone characters are in any way similar to the Animorphs characters? Because, you know, one of the most important reasons I liked Animorphs so much was that it had strong and interesting characters. So are there any similarities between them?

And how did you like the story in general?

Know The Secret, Know the Lulz

 Oh man. I recently got on the biggest nostalgia kick of my life a few days ago. I spent hours watching 90's cartoon openings on Youtube (BEETLEJUICE! MEN IN BLACK! GARGOYLES! PEPPER ANN!) and all of this came to a boiling head when I dug through my closet... and found my 10-year-old copy of "Know The Secret" for PC. Happy dorky joy was had. Installation was instant. 

Lulz were had.

This game walks the fine, fine line between "so bad it's good" and "so bad it's horrible," and I just had to share. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about here, because... 

The hilarity, man. The lulz are just TOO GOOD to ignore.
