General Discussion / HIs Dark Materials vs. Harry Potter

Yes, but using it sarcastically conveys what I'm trying to say better than if I were to name a random non-book. Pullman writes to teach/show you something, and makes the book entertaining so you'll be tricked into reading his message. Rowling just writes to entertain, with morals and themes that have very little depth to them.

Those are great!!!, but pop culture books.

Just a little pretentious there, but they are good books for children and young adults. I do find that the whole anti-established religion theme gets past alot of people though, because they are such popular books and people treat them less as literature and more as Harry Potter w/ animals.

The Authority is this super powerul angel being that claims to be god and Metatron is his successor. His Dark Materials is really good. It's actually a trilogy; The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spy Glass.

Welcome Visitor (I posted a very brief welcome message in the Introductions thread).

It's been a while since I tried to find this cheat. I recall the a few of the folks posted their attempts in the old forums. So, please share your attempts with us, even if you can't find the correct one. We may have new ideas from those. New input is always good.

I won't be making any attempts. I'm waiting for the full version to be released before I play the game at all. I have been waiting patiently for the game since last december and I am only just now getting impatient and visiting the forum.

Is their any chance that this is a reference to The Authority and Metatron from His Dark Materials.

Has anyone tried the words Nerd or Geek? These would fit in with some of the more humorous names. I know this kid who we call the Dan the Scholar and Dan the Nerd, so they are at least quasisynonomous.

Yawah is most likely an allusion to Yahweh the name for god in the Old Testament. Considering the game does have some middle-eastern style/influence it kind of makes sense.
