What are the best alternatives to Amazon for buying new (or used) books?
  • Alibris for used? They're independent. For new, if you have a local bookstore, I'd go with them first. If not, depends on your province. There's probably a largish bookstore in the provincial capital that will ship.

  • What is a video game that you'd love to play, but no one has developed yet?
  • A game where you play a reporter in a pre-internet open world, digging through meetings, documents, connections and surveillance to get information to create stories.
    You could have relationships with people too, and test them. Go with a private story on someone that will get big views and make the rent but piss them off, or keep it private and maintain your relationship to access their connections to try for a bigger story.

  • Cube (1997 480p)
  • Peeking at the script, I think this was the scene that annoyed me.

    "It seems like if any of these numbers of prime, then the room is trapped. Ok, 645... 645, that's not prime. 372... no. 649... Wait, 11 x 59, it's not prime either. So that room is safe."

    The pauses after 645 and 372 are pretty bad. The line should have been something like "645 and 372 are not prime. 649..."

    As at the moment she was operating under the theory that only primeness mattered, anything with an even number or a five should have been instantaneous. 3s take a second to check (add the digits and see if that's a multiple of 3). The rest of the primes up to 31 are tougher. (Well, you only have to worry about 961 for 31, as otherwise a lower prime will interfere, but eh.)
