    What book would you like to see adapted to Movies or TV?

    We’ve discussed this before the Malazan thread, but I think it would have to be done in anime. There’s just too much going on for this to be live action. But man I’d love to see it on screen. Currently on my fifth or sixth reread.

    Same spot, it’s just foggy and I suck at taking pictures. Doing the lower new tomorrow morning with a coworker and her family, who are all first timers.

    Couple pictures of our boy. First one was after he dug a nice hole in the back yard. Second one is today, just hosed him down and sat his ass down in front of an air blower. He’s got his first birthday next week.

    I’m curious about what kind of rewards will come from the savage dungeon. It sounds cool, might be something I can actually get my buddies to come back for

    Responding to myself. We got the upper Gauley today, at 1400 cf/s, which is half of what they run it at in the fall Gauley season. My buddy and I, plus two other customers were in a small boat with one guide. Nine other guides were on the run, three in each of the three other boats. Much more...

    Double Upper, nice. That’s gonna be a long day, but will be some epic white water. @FonderJarl and I are heading to WV tomorrow to do a couple of “Best Run of the Day” trips with Adventures on the Gorge. Hoping we get the Gauley but we could wind up on the New. Heading back in the fall for a...

    Thanks. Was pretty drunk last night and couldn't think of it.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Midnight Tides is definitely unique in the Malazan world. It's like a completely different storytelling style. Instead of 5-10 different POVs it's just two, and you've met the characters before, and are seeing their backstory. I'm at the climax of Memories of Ice. Knowing that Whiskeyjack is...

    Man I thought this season was gonna somehow avoid all the “identity politics” shit that we had last season. So far it really had. But tonight at tribal the nogresses made it about race and then wanted to act like everyone else was just blaming them for things outside of their control. Meanwhile...

    Maybe Elayne will be a top-tier Thot and we can forgive the two uglies who've been cast as Rand's other bitches. Edit: Though who am I kidding? They're all uggo nasties. Albino nogress for Aviendha instead of some warrior godess of middle-eastern descent. Shit's weak and has been since episode 1

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    You said you didn’t get out of the car until after the cops came. Presumably your friend Andre was struck by the vehicle while you waited for the cops to arrive. So.. the assumption is that you saw your friend hit by a car, and then sat in the car waiting for the police. So while you were...

    Slowly working on my reread, getting toward the end of Deadhouse Gates. Was over at my buddy’s house playing dnd tonight. Most of them have read through six or seven of the books and put the series down for whatever reason. So I start telling them where I’m at in deadhouse gates, the end...

    Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

    Not usually my type of reading, but someone that works at a bookstore gave me an early copy of it. I really enjoyed it. The way they “science-d” everything out was cool.

    Lol.. this is a nice necro. I’m over here going through the first page reacting and then I see 2013… oof. Im just glad Mamba’s and runts are on the first page.

    Haven't played it yet, but from the discussion a few days ago, I believe the consensus was that it's pay for conveniences, not for power.

    Well, I finally have both of the extreme mounts. I’m stubborn and didn’t want to wait for the next patch so I could buy one with 99 totems… so I’ve got 175 clears on the first extreme (got mount at 166), and 19 clears on second extreme (got mount on 5th clear). Now that that’s done I’ll have to...

    I really liked Forge of Darkness. No, there weren’t any soldiers bantering through the whole book, but I thought it was great world building. Fall of Light really dropped the ball, though.

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Picked this up last night and have been playing most of the day. Have finished all the three star village quests and started working on the four stars. This seems easier than World. I haven’t failed a quest yet, and only just got carted twice in a hunt for the first time. Got cocky against...

    When the Ministry of Truth decides that you aren’t allowed to read books on your e-reader because of some words you said on the internet, you’ll be glad you’ve got a shelf full of hard copies!

    So I’m interested in these, but I’m not sure I want to have to fight the masses every time they’re released. If I get in on this 1000 copies, will I be grandfathered in for the rest?

    Where is @Jin_Furai to show us some super fast kills on hard stuff? Still on the fence with buying this one. Don’t wanna be the only one playing it amongst my friends, and was also hoping for a follow up to MHW/Iceborne, as that was my first MH title.

    I've been watching llamatodd's stream for a few months now. He's on kinda late-ish EST. He never has that many viewers, and he's not the most entertaining of streamers. The stream is really chill though, and he does savage and ultimate raids. At the end of ShB he was running through savage...

    Finished The God is Not Willing today. Erickson is back on form. No fucking idea what he thought he was doing with Memory of Light. This book was fantastic. Like many of you, im gonna go ahead and start rereading the series now that I’ve finished this.

    I don’t think there’s really much in the way of tips on this one that are gonna make a big difference, the way the First Extreme tips seemed to help. For light wave 2, you are gonna make a Z around that center Crystal. That was the big thing that really made it click once I saw and understood...

    Nice collection man! I see those leather bound Sanderson books down there. I wish I had gotten in on the Stormlight leather bound stuff when it started. At this point I don’t know that I want to shell out the money to buy them third party, and I don’t want half a collection. So guess I’m just...

    Nice man. I spent an hour working on P1S in a PF group. Got to fourfold or whatever it’s called a few times but couldn’t quite figure that mechanic out.

    Finally tried the first extreme as a solo healer last night. Went pretty well on my end, got all the CDs for phobos and styx figured out. Got four kills. I think at this rate I’m gonna have 99 totems before I get the mount, been rolling poorly and only seen four of them. Chris, I think the...

    Has anyone done the first trial extreme with just one healer? I got my AST up to 90, 575 the other day. Healed six or so clears of the extreme last night.

    Gonna be teaching my buddies the second extreme trial tonight. The only thing I’m confused on is the lightwaves (not 1 and 2). How does the tank decide which side of the arena to take the group to for the stack up followed by the spread during lightwaves toward the end of the fight?

    Anyone tried leveling 80-90 in Zadnor or Bozja? One of my buddies says people are leveling that way. My AST is 83, was planning to just spam dungeons, but if Zadnor is faster then that’s what I’ll do.
