The Elf and Dwarf

Due to the recent storm that hit Michigan (and a neighbor who refused to call Ms. Digg before doing major landscaping) we’ve been both without power and internet until today.  True to form we did get out a short conversation about geeking without power and how we’ve been surviving without email, the web, or WoW.

Sorry folks, no show this week.  Due to the massive storms that hit the midwest this week we are without power.  Rorlins is cheating by blogging this from his desk in his classroom when he should be grading final exams.  We will return to the virtual airwaves next week.

Why not use this week to check out the Wife Agro Podcast, or Mischief and Mayhem?

Or you can use this break to complain to all of your friends about how much you miss your weekly dose of Hunter Banter!  Tell them how disappointed you were that you didn’t get to hear about the joys of balancing a marriage, multiple MMO subscriptions, a tabletop game and a newborn!  Let them know how frustrated your entire week will be without your fix of book reivews, movie commentary and lots and lots of nearly useless statistics!

Then tell them how the Elf and Dwarf will be back next week, and how they can find the show themselves!

As our friends over at Wife Aggro like to have in their intro “it’s just a game”.  Well, the Elf and Dwarf took this week to discuss just that idea.  Is it really just a game?  Is it more?  Returning from their “Family Leave” the hunter duo tackle this and a book review of Novik’s “His Majesty’s Dragon”.

Narnia, Potter, Eragon, The Golden Compass and more are the focus of our discussion on movies gone to film.  The Elf and Dwarf go through what they liked about the books and what they liked about the movies and how they liked them as pairs.  If you have a question or comment drop us a line at theelfanddwarf@yahoo.com.

So what are the best changes from books to movies?  Already we know that Dragons of Autumn Flame is headed to the “big screen” (well if you have a home theater), and we’re itching to pour some kudos on Stardust for making a “grown up” fantasy movie.  But what else has transitioned, in the sci fi/ fantasy genre’s from the paperback to the box office?  What’s your favorite?  What’d you hate?

So it’s Wednesday and you’re here looking for the next show.  Sorry to say that between grading finals, doctor’s visits, Ady’s pregnency fatigue and other stuff going on we are going to call this our first “vacation week”.

 If you’re really itching for a podcast though, you might consider this week’s The Instance.  Or perhaps the 100th episode of This Week in Tech.    Or not.
