I heard the first part of shaddowfalls, very nice and quite surreal.

sorry to repeat myself but the audiodrama site I know best is www.darkerprojects.com, ---- plenty of action and horror and such.

there's also http://brokensea.com/ But the one I tried from them, Grog and griffin didn't impress me too much, and something went a bit wonky with their downloads though it's entirely possible I'm being unfair to them on this point.

Hmmmm Slj, the address would seem to be http://www.graphicaudio.net/

Thanks a lot for the info anyway. I've had a brief look at their stuff, but they strike me as slightly over priced considdering their stuff is in Wma and so won't play on my snazzy new mp3 Cd player which I'm just ordering today (being outside the states, getting stuff on Cd isn't an option given their Us cented business policyy).

Also imho the price seemed a bit steep, both considdering free audio sites like darker projects, and the fact that even the big finish doctor who audio dramas with the professional actors such as collin baker and elizabeth Sladen only sell on Cd for the iquivolent of about 16 dollars and are roughly the same length, ----- assuming of course that you don't do what I usually do and acquire box sets, take advantage of offers, or even just obtain coppies from people for nothing Lol!

while I'd never pirate audio games, ---- where big companies of grasping capitalistic doom are concerned you can call me captain Jack sparrow!

If you haven't bought their dramas Slj, how do you know that they are awsome? and if you have bought them, ---- is the wma download thingy really as much of a pest as it looks to be? A case of copy protection gone luny I think, ---- especially when they could do what was done with things like the full files for smugglers 3 and just sell you a licence code for reg now which lets you download from the appropriate page.

I'd guess their to protect their stuff, ---- but these days with digital recorders anything which makes a sound which comes out of a speaker can be coppied anyway, ----- and I believe it's possible to convert wma to mp3 much more easily than that with the appropriate software.

Dark: I have heard some of the examples of their books. This is some very good examples, so I know their books are awesome.

That's certainly true, ---- it's like the blerb on the back of book covers.

I remember my friend recommending me Tad williams' books, and when I asked the person at the braille library to read me the blerb from the book jacket, ---- which is what they wrote in their catalogue, ---- it sounded like the most generic and dull fantasy ever, ---- which it certainly isn't.

apparently my friend's favourite book buying method (when not going after a specific author he likes), is to pull something in the horror, sf or fantasy line off the shelf and flick through it reading bits at random, ---- he says he doesn't even bother with book jackets sinse he finds them to be generally useless.

this would be slightly hard to do with audio though I think, ;D.

I think I stopped seeing films based on trailers at about the age of ten when i realized that every trailer made the film look potentially good, and sinse then have either seen them out of curiosity, liking for the director, or recommendations from friends.

Most of the audio stuff I've ever bought was done because it was Dr. who, or hitchhiker's guide, or something else I liked, not just random stufff off the shelf.

I might considder hearing audio once if they had a stream only podcast which you had to pay say one or two dollars to listen to, the same way I'd be curious about seeing films at the cinema or wrenting the dvd's (though these days it's virtually at the stage where if you see any film more than once it's cheaper to buy it), but to actually shell out cash and then own the thing? possibly not.

I'll probably check out Scot seedler when I've finished with he sword of truth Cx2, ---- though I believe I'll begin with earthcore and ancestor as I said. Violence really doesn't bothr me in the least, ---- though I'm not really keen on some other highly graphic descriptions which occur in more adult books, but hopefully Seedler isn't too bad in this vein.
