Testimonial - Well it seems that most of you "discordians" are little more than dupes of the Cathedral/NWO memetic apparatus after all -- "freethinkers" in the sense that you are willing to think slightly outside the designated boxes of correct thought, but not free in the sense that you reject the existence of the boxes and seek their destruction.

Does torrent work for Macs?  I've never been able to figure out how to use it... but I am very computer retarded.

It should, unless you're a sucker like me and are located somewhere where things like torrents are blocked.

Ken Campbell's narration is a tad irritating.

I've sat through 5 hours of Stephen Colbert reading HIS book...I could probably handle this too.

I met him once and he was a tad irritating. ;-)

Overall though, I really liked that the entire thing was produced by people who knew RAW and had heard him discuss the book several times (not to mention the pronunciation of names like Celine "Che Lean A" rather than "See Lean" which was how I pronounced it the first time I read it). Ken probably knew as much about I3 and Bob and the Producer/Director was a personal friend of Bob's for several years. Its not like the material was really prime for exploitation by some corporate studio, but I'm really glad it was done by people that grokked the material themselves. Even if it means Ken Campbell rather than Patrick Stewart or Christopher Walken doing the reading  :eek:

i've grown accustomed to his voice...in fact i LOVE how both speakers alternate voices...it's a nice dynamic.  and even though ken sounds irritating, it somehow works really well for this reading.

yeah thats pretty nice and noticed that a couple different times with other things.  i think the interpretation of Hagbard's or perhaps Saul's voice is probably shared by most but i'm kind of curious as to how some others may have interpreted the characters' voices differently than as it was on the recording.  Howard, for instance, i heard soft, operatic and feminine as opposed to the cartoony, dumbell version on the recording.

I am liking it much more than I was at the beginning, but I don't dig Hagbard's voice.  It's too slow, and doesn't accurately portray his zeal, at least not to me.  I'm not overly fond of Simon's voice either.  I think it would have been nice to have some other actors doing the voices as well... especially the women.

I like how the readers have a hard time stifling laughter at points and you hear the non reading readers in the background sigh on occasion. 

I also thought Hagbard's name was pronounced differently (like 'seh-leen')
Most voices are different than how i recall imagining them....

It seems to me that there was a scene somewhere in the novel that hints at the pronunciation of Hagbard's surname... can't recall which part now... much the same way that RAW explains how to pronounce 'Ewige Blumenkraft' in Schrodinger's Cat by naming a character Eva Gabloomenkraft.  I will try to hunt it down...
