Another good example of a book I really enjoyed that turned into a stinker of a show/movie.
Desperation. I read the book. It wasn't bad at all, but pretty standard fare for him. The interesting thing about Desperation is that it was a dual-release with The Regulators, which he put out under his Richard Bachman pseudonym. The two books have mostly the same characters but the stories are written in the different styles for each "author."
I guess I should've mentioned that I never saw shawshank or the green mile but yeah I know they're loved along with others from years ago. I just didn't think he was still making anything good, as always I could definitely be wrong. I'm sure the third iteration of Carrie and the sequel to The Children of the Corn were probably pretty good. At least as good as Under the Dome.
How funny would it be if you did it and then got stuck with a xbone.
ugh, he puts out books under a different name with a different style? If I didn't hate stephen king before this morning, I definitely do now!
There's a new series starting on Hulu soon called 11/22/63 about the assassination of Kennedy that's adapted from his book of the same name. So he's still putting out stuff people think is good enough to be adapted.
He did nearly 40 years ago. Last one was in 82. It was because back then publishers did not want authors putting out more than 1 book a year. They agreed to let him put out others under a different name.
I would find Zimm and kick him in the ass if he wasted $40 on this shit. That could go towards a PS4, or better yet his divorce!
He's put three since then under the Bachman name. Thinner (84), Regulators (96), and Blaze (07). The latter two books were supposedly discovered after Bachman's death.
Wow that was fast. Probably a bunch of Slick Deals folk buying them all up to re-sell the consoles.
Yeah I was going to say that there have definitely been Bachman books released after 82.
They have all had Stephen King on the label in larger print than the Bachman name. Seems like that kind of defeats the purpose of a psuedonym. Although, you are right the name was still used after that point.
normally I'd agree with this, but really as people are reading less and less his movies and tv shows will be the only way people know who he is. even before people stopped reading so much I don't expect many people would seek out a book that a mediocre movie is based on to see if the book is better. I wouldn't be surprised if in 20 years most people in their 30s and younger will have never read a stephen king book but will probably have seen a stephen king story in other media.
It was released at the same time as Desperation where the covers were designed to make one image where the Stephen King name is the most prominent.
So you're supposed to read the titles from right to left like Arabic?It was released at the same time as Desperation where the covers were designed to make one image where the Stephen King name is the most prominent.
By the Law of the PLAY promotion, it will be (via Journey CE), and apparently those assholes deleted that PLAY post I did which guessed when it was we'd see them be added to plus based on past PSN PLAY promotions.
You are being a dick, but you're also right which is why I was liking them.
I can't decide which was stupider that television season, Under the Dome or Helix. I slogged through Under the Dome S1, but I just couldn't bear anymore of Helix and stopped on like episode 10 which is pretty much unheard of for me to get that close and just stop. Both were renewed for S2, but I didn't watch either.
Me Me Me Me Me!
I can play today before the beta ends.
Send me a ring please.
I don't think it's restricted.
Boobies, in case anyone was wondering why not a good choice for working people to watch.
They shipped my copy today too. I had a $15 cert that expired in a few days so I ordered it last night. Not bad for $18.33 and love using that CAG math. Also love Elite Plus since those points rack up quick.
Your better off burning piles of money to stay warm.
the cold right?
If you want a decent, fair challenge to keep you engaged then go with Zealot (normal) difficulty. That's what I've gone with so far and there are a few fights which I've squeaked through on, but mostly I've only had to restart 1 or 2 times, it's some of the jumps which I've had to restart the most on. There aren't any difficulty trophies though so if you just want to cruise through and let off some steam then go with Classic.
