    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm not saying that it's a common thing, but it certainly is not impossible to find a 19 yr old virgin. I found one when she was 19, and married her by the time she was 25. The virginity thing didn't even freak me out since those weren't even that uncommon at Lipscomb, but it was the fact she...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    Played on a few classic maps this morning. In 3 rounds I didn't see a single person over rank 50. The game go on sale again or something? I'm only 65, but it's very, -very- depressing when I'm coming in first place consistently. I'm really not that good. Battlelog app still isn't letting me...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You'd believe it if you had a conversation with my mother-in-law. She -almost- ran me off too.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think a lot of the numbers game is situational. I've slept with maybe 6 women? Less than 8 for sure, but on the flip side I've made-out with probably 50+. Bible belt, christian college, the math is pretty simple. I also worked for the school so was terrified of being anyone's first...

    Battlefield 4 (Frostbite 3)

    I get a game freeze maybe every 20 hours of play on ps4. Usually leaving a tank position triggers it. Tonight we got server disconnected for the first time as a squad, but it was probably due a reset anyway since it was rubber banding badly prior to boot. I've noticed the white bar flashing...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    eh, I give Lucas credit for Directing and Producing good products. Anything he writes though...I hope he has two other people to filter through before it goes to screen. From the horror stories I've heard about authors pitching ideas in the EU, he does a really poor job of keeping up with his...

    Dresden Files

    I remember JB having to say and deny that the ending of Changes -wasn't- a cliff hanger, because so many of us were waiting for the release date. One of the few fantasy books that lived up to the pre-release hype in my opinion. I also recommend a re-read of Ghost Story. Read it thinking of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I do 90% of the cooking in our house and pretend to like all her friends for the same reason. She has her "games" too. Hers are more focused on getting me to express emotional responses not physical ones. On topic... She works retail and we've been having a lot of conflicting hours lately...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    From a story teller perspective I agree. I have to focus on how much her life has changed in a short amount of time. The second book just shows how much denial the girl has in the first. (Did my best to avoid spoiling anything specific)

    Dresden Files

    Ghost stories is much lighter than Changes. Cold Days is a great follow up. I think JB has said to expect 20 books in total?

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    I think everyone has a problem with this at some point. There was even a thread on Sanderson's forum a few years ago of how you can completely take out Shallan's story gaps until the third act and almost make it a better book for the new reader. The problem is, you'll want to put it all...

    Dresden Files

    More power to you. At least you take the time to read. A few years ago when I got up to 10 books a month my wife put a halt to it for space reasons. Equated it along the lines of a woman's shoe fetish. Too damned clever, because I converted to ebooks and haven't looked back.

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    It's not only that though. I remember an interview he did when Shadow's of the Empire came out on n64. Something to the effect of "Even if they aren't happy about the material, they'll pay to play it and see it and experience and spend years talking about it until we give them more content." Was...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Wife of a friend of mine went through that about 5 years ago after their second kid. She even started working out with me, which honestly freaked me the fuck out. I was never interested or anything like that, but it still felt...off. Things like this become cliche for a reason and I'm ALWAYS...

    I think he's the herald who was dead when the rest dropped their blades. Explains the reason he's a bit...fanatic...about order. I'm usually wrong, however.

    Vasher is the sword master, not the justice guy. Also, don't forget that when Vasher first returned the cult named him Warbreaker the Peaceful. On some level he will always identify with that.

    Stormlight Archive ( Released Spoilers )

    Eh, I would say it's a step up from an honorblade. It does have it's own intelligence while the honorblades are just innate tools. Being able to cut slices through inanimate matter like a shardblade is something different from the only time we saw NIghtblood unsheathed. iirc 50 lifeless and...

    It had to be forced to set the tone of the original set up. Regardless, 6 seasons is a LOT of time to make up for a bad idea.

    SyFy network admits they fucked up

    I don't want to see a reboot done badly. Picking up a pilot that nbc didn't will probably be their method, plus it keeps their in house costs down. Wouldn't mind seeing an Event Horizon or Dead Space type space odyssey. People are jumping all over the thriller / horror shit these days, maybe...

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    His singular stories usually have a decent hook or maybe a twist. I'm expecting it to be an epic twist in Stormlight. I'm be seriously disappointed (which is worse than pissed off) if we could see it this early. Omg. I'm a fanboy.

    You guys forget who organized the living troops during the evacuation? He -is- a high prince. He saw something needed to be done and did it. Actions speak a lot louder than being inside the guys mind and seeing the lies he tells himself to excuse his responsibility. Right Sadeas?

    Becoming a Youtuber

    Agreed about Levelcap. He's very niche, but he has a 680k+ following. Uploads at least a video a day and by the evening has 50k views on the average video. I use him for information instead of reading the shit from Dice's website for BF4 updates because he translates the bullshit really well...

    First high school reunion coming up

    I went to my 10 yr. Our class had about 200 graduate and I knew about 150 of them since the 4th grade. So I guess there is more of a connection to them than what I've read here. We had a good 50 show for the reunion, none of those are my close friends, and I used it as an excuse to show off my...

    for Kinadin~ Levelcap is def one of the better guys to watch. He focuses more on an infantry playstyle and less on vehicles. He gets some insider info on the game for updates and he's not a complete shill. The medpac / ammo box idea are a great two benefit. Everyone who runs over it gives you...

    I won't expect much from Szeth in book 3. Unless you mean hilarious because the sword seems to have more personality than him? I agree. We were just given insight into a lot of information regarding his "new" role. If this Universe is really supposed to span over 10 books (I think I remember...
