Dead Sea series buddy read

[Jonathan]

What do you think of the book so far?

:-)

[Mehmet]

I still behind Jonathan, end of last week I was very busy at work and when I got home I was playing PS3 game for good couple of hours. So by time I finished I was to tired to read for long. So still trying to finish my last book :-( hopefully on my days off this week I can catch up.

[Jonathan]

No worries my friend. I am only on the second chapter myself. I had a nice barbecue yesterday with my girlfriend Jennifer. We roasted vegetables like eggplant and zucchini. It was delicious.

Take your time and don't feel pressure to read. ;-)

[Mehmet]

Thanks Jonathan, but I do truly want to read Entombed and join in the buddy read. So I will do my best to catch up. Not playing at Red faction guerrilla tonight just going to read. That sounds yummy, I like eggplant. Zucchini is also great. I not done a barbecue in ages, my family does it proper Turkish style, all the trimmings, rice, potatoes, salad, bread and humus. Shish kebab and chicken Shish :-P lovely

[Jonathan]

I am liking Entombed a lot better then Dead Sea. Am I the only one so far? :-)

[Mehmet]

If you enjoying it, I am looking really forward to start the book my friend :-)

[Jeff]

I finished it last night. It's a quick, fun read. General tone and comparison spoiler encompassing the whole book: (view spoiler)[It's more like a combination of Die Hard and a slasher movie than a zombie novel. (hide spoiler)]

[Jonathan]

Finished the book today and I really liked it a lot better then Dead Sea!

[Mehmet]

Ooops looks like I be the last to read this book :-( Victorian underworld is taking a bit of time to read. Got far in Red faction guerrilla though :-) glad you enjoyed the book Jonathan !

[Jonathan]

Take your time my friend! I still need to finish that crazy long fourth Dark Tower book before our next buddy read anyway. I am glad you like that video game, I picked up Dying Light on the PS4 recently. I will let you know what I think of it.

[Mehmet]

Dying Light ? Not heard of that Jonathan, what is it about ?

[Jonathan]

It is like the best open world survival horror game right now: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_...

I like it a lot more then Dead Island and it more well made too!!

[Mehmet]

Wow it sounds good Jonathan, just I do not have ps4 yet. Red faction guerrilla is a open world game set in the future of Red faction 1 and two. Which were first person shooters. It's about a revolution by the Red faction to overthrow the authoritarian rule of the Earth armies on Mars.

[Jonathan]

I still wouldn't mind doing a Fallout run sometime in the future since I still play Fallout on my X-Box 360 and PS3 sometimes. We should do a timed playthrough together one day in the future.

[Mehmet]

Yes that does sound like a good idea Jonathan :-) I managed to get some extra reading last night and should be able to finish book by end of week hopefully. Then I can start entombed :-)

[Jonathan]

Is anyone interested in seeing the new Jurassic Park movie next month?

(view spoiler)[ Sorry guys, I decided to run away to Spain for week. I never did get Entombed, although I liked dead sea, and I did want to know what was next for the survivors, I didn't enjoy it enough to warrant buying the next book (was sure about Zombie whales either) LOL .

I really want to see the new JP, looks so cool.

[Mehmet]

I am actually, hopefully it will not be bad like number 3. The Jurassic park series appeals to my inner child, as I always love Dinosaurs and monster movies as a youngster :-)

[Jonathan]

I've been playing the old Dead Island with my girlfriend. Did you ever finish it Mehmet?

[Jonathan]

Any Twin Peaks fans in this buddy read?

I remember playing the missions where I had opened up the 2nd safe house an played a certain amount of missions and stopped. You playing over the Internet with your girlfriend Jonathan?
I started Entombed, sorry for being so late everyone !

[Jonathan]

Yeah. Jennifer and I live a hour away from each other so we like to play during the week days. :-)

[Mehmet]

May of asked before but how does Dead island co op play work my friend ?

[Jonathan]

It works well. I only have it on the X-Box.

Do you have a PS3 version?

[Aiden]

I say Left 4 dead 2 is amazing. Ellis is awesome.

[Jonathan]

I love Left 4 Dead 2....

I have been trying to get my girlfriend into the first one on X-Box.

Mehmet if you ever get a X-Box 360 you have to let me know!!

[Mehmet]

For sure Jonathan I let you know my friend :-) yeah I was playing dead island on PS3.

[Jonathan]

Do you play online with the PS3?

My PSN ID is gabrielzeros

I feel like you haven't added me yet. ;-)

[Mehmet]

Not really play online, if I connect I let you know and add you my friend. I promise:-)

[Jonathan]

Mehmet did you enjoy the Fallout 4 trailer? http://fallout.bethsoft.com

[Mehmet]

Wow I am impressed that looks amazing, using what they learnt in previous games plus Skyrim, they are trying to aim high. Will this be only for PS4 and Xbox1 ?

[Jonathan]

Yes. Unfortunately only PS4 , X-Box One, and PC my friend.

Gives us more of a reason to go back and play the originals right? ;-)

[Mehmet]

So true my friend :-)

[Jonathan]

Had a problem downloading the original on my PC. Might try my mom's laptop. My desktop doesn't display the opening graphics nicely.

[Mehmet]

Yeah know that problem well my friend, although new computers often have more then enough power to play the old games, they do not always play the game smoothly. :-( you trying to play the first fall out game ? I completed Red faction guerrilla yesterday.

[Jonathan]

Yeah. I think I may of figured out the problem. I had to mess with the setting from my icon menu. I am trying to mess with the first Fallout on the PC.

It isn't very newbie friendly. :-)

Anyone read Brian's, Darkness on the Edge of Town?

[Jeff]

Yes, it was decent.

[Jeff]

More to the point, I actually wrote a small review of it, this is the most relevant part of it:

3.5

Keene's books are generally hit or miss for me, but I thought this one was pretty good. There's nothing startlingly original here, society breaks down exactly how you might expect, but the book scratched the itch I had for the "small town beset by evil" sub-genre that are few and far between these days, at least compared to the 80's and 90's. I enjoyed the conversational style employed by the narrator. I see some complaints about the ending not being wrapped up in a nice little bow, but it works fine for me.

[Jonathan]

I enjoyed the psychological aspect of Darkness on the Edge of Town the most and how it preyed on the Evil Within.

Thanks, Jeff, Jonathan, seen it and thought it looked interesting. Just purchased the paperback. :)

[Jonathan]

I think you would like it.

Anyone here a Twin Peaks fan? I am joining a Twin Peaks buddy read. They are really short books.

Sorry Jonathan, way too much to do this month and next (as usual I've overstretched myself, 4 read for reviews, final edits on two short stories, and two beta reads).
Better get on with it then hadn't I *shakes head at one self* :)

[Jonathan]

That is ok.
