    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Forge of Darkness is probably the book to read right now, considering the sequel, Fall of Light is right around the corner (late April). Forge gives a perspective to the world that you only get a sense of the Book of the Fallen. I liked Esslemont's work, as well. Some of it isn't stellar, but...

    So they drop their buffs and consolidate from three tribes to two for two immunity challenges, and then merge? Guess they really wanted to keep brawn around.

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    What's the word on the David Weber Harrington series? I'm on the third book at the suggestion of a regular at work. There's 16 of these books though. If this is space Drizzt I want out now!

    Also interested in a guest pass if anyone has still got one available. Roommate gave his pass to my brother, so I'm sitting here playing League and missing out!

    The King Henry Tapes (By Me!)

    I'll be picking this up tonight when I get home. Plowed through all the FM stuff about 2 weeks ago. Glad I finally checked this series out. Saw the thread years ago and never tried the series, then saw the thread getting some bumps and decided I ought to give it a try. Glad that I did.

    What age did you start selling crack

    Half an eighth. 1/16 = teenager (as we called them), or a tweener. 18, but I sold cocaine not crack, and I didn't even really sell it. I "sold" to other people at work to get mine cheaper.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Drakain, definitely keep going. The series is awesome. Discussion here makes me want to dive into certain spots in the series for clarity. It seems to me someone commented on Quick's magery having the flavor of Galain at some point in the series. I'm tempted to go back and reread the...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    The gender of which Bridgeburner? Edit: also I think the T'lan Imass magic deadening was due to Lorn and her Otataral sword.

    A Song of Ice and Fire (Released Spoilers)

    Man, you're going to be waiting a while. "I'm not setting any more deadlines for myself," reads to me more like "I'm never going to finish this book."

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I recently re-read GoTM and I believe Crokus bandaged Coll's leg after the fight with Adjunct Lorn. As for someone knowing the streets were being mined, I don't remember that being the case. Instead, I think Baruk simply noted that the workers in the street had an odd accent, or used archaic...

    MTG thread

    Was playing EDH the other night and my buddy was playing a Khalia deck. He had Aurelia the Warleader out already. He attacked with Khalia and Aurelia, and played a another card out when Khalia attacked. My question is, can the creature that came out from Khalia's ability attack in the second...

    Survivor

    Excellent episode tonight. A great end to a good season. I'm definitely surprised Spencer didn't get a single vote. Him threatening Jeremy at the previous tribal council pretty much sealed his fate, though, I think. The double-idol, no-vote tribal council was awesome. Would have been silly...

    If you're doing the 12.99 1 character per server sub, I don't think you can.

    It's not that bad. You're a tank, so won't have to sit in long queues for the trials and dungeons. Shouldn't take terribly long, though I can see how it'd be daunting.

    Aww yea, going to re-up my sub tonight when I get home from work. Been waiting for the patch. Edit: Just saw Kirin can now fly, woot!

    Maybe that hero challenge where he beat Terry and Jeremy went to his head. Not surprised that Kass went home.

    Didn't get a chance to watch OG vs FW. Got to work and as soon as I walk in a Co-worker spoils it for me. Jimmies rustled.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Rake was 7th of the Seguleh. Could have gone further, perhaps, but left because he didn't understand why they kept trying to fight him. Draconus was Consort to Mother Dark, Anomander was First Son (a title, not actually her son). His power did not come from Dragnipur. Instead, his ability to...

    I finally got around to clearing BisEx today. Only tried it twice before, and both groups failed on the snakes. Today was a different story, though. Now it's time for some Ravana farm for some weapons!

    Did they give any indication of how long servers will be down? I'm at work, left my roulettes for when I get home, guess I'm going to miss my law today.

    At least you guys are getting exp for doing the quests. Yes, I am sure it feels like you're stuck. But you'll have more exp going into the expansion and won't have to dungeon- or quest-grind to the next level as early as the rest of us had to.

    I wouldn't skip the cutscenes in the 2.5 and 3.0 quests. They're pretty good. The story in Heavensward has been bad ass.
