1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I had the Xbox360 (yes, I know, it's "vintage") Rock Band 3 game disc, but because of my stupidity, I banged into the console, and that disc was trashed - and so I bought a NIB replacement disc. However to avoid this in the future, I want to make a copy of this game disc, and only use the copy disc to play, that way if I do this again, I could easily make a new copy.
Anyway, so I need to get an external CD writer, and I want to make sure that it can make an exact copy that the console will accept. Is there anything special I should look for in a CD writer? It seems that all such writers can write DVD, and I presume that any such writers could do a proper game disc copy.

I'm heading out to a meeting in a few minutes, so unless someone gets it quickly (quite likely), there'll be a couple of hours delay in replying.

I just happened to be thinking about the books yesterday, and I was wondering...what are the odds GRRM will actually manage to write the last of the series?
I looked into it, and apparently he's got ~75% of the 6th book done, and the 7th will be just a big. And it's been years been #5 and 6.
At this point this has got to be a worse job than being the Queen King. People will not let him retire...
Maybe if he didn't let himself get involved in these side-projects like that second TV series...

I couldn't cope with the GOT books - I slogged through the first two, maybe three and gave up. For me, this was a rare case when the TV series was better than the books.
Personally, I wish Patrick Rothfuss would finish the third book in the The Kingkiller Chronicles. Now that's torturous, it's been years since book #2.

Don’t read the Wheel of Time series then… 
I remember reading one of them (@ roughly 1000 pages) and realizing at the end that every major character was still in the same situation as they were at the beginning. Sadly the TV series is pretty lame…

It is a wheel, or a circle so you do wind up where you start.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

I went through the first (only) and thought it was ok - I was actually impressed by how closely the TV series followed some scenes described in the book. My understanding is that as the TV series progress, it starts to deviate a lot from the books...which is quite understandable.
I have the remaining books (that are available at this time), and I'm honestly not sure when I'm going to go through them - the author being slow isn't much of a factor in my case. I'm a slow reader, and sadly pretty much gave up on reading anything longer than a few pages worth of material. These days, if I sit down / lie down to read a book, within 10 minutes I'm struggling to stay awake, even if I do it at a time when I feel well-rested. It's infuriating, as I like to read.

Read the article, a game of Game of Thrones ISN'T coming...
A fan just made a trailer of what it would look like, but no actual game is in the making for as far as we know.

In the same way that, since "-gate" is now a suffix used to imply a scandal, Watergate[^] should really be called "Watergate-gate".
