Have you read dune?

Ben Spivey said...

No, I have not read dune. I have a copy of it on my bookshelf. I want to read it. I'm sad that I've failed.

I like these kinds of list.

Ben Spivey said...

I do too Matt, you should make one, everyone should make one.

Justin Sirois said...

Thanks, Ben!!
I'm honored to be in that list.

Check out Borderlands (the game).
I'm a huge Fallout fan and BLands has me by the throat.

Ben Spivey said...

Thanks for saying thanks Justin. I've been looking at Borderlands for a while, it looks awesome! I've been totally hooked and consumed by Demon's Souls (it's kind of like Diablo) but when that fades I will pick it up. Thanks for the recommendation. I still haven't played the Fallout 3 expansions yet. Have you played those?
