Yeah, I'm whining. But Del Rey and Lynch should be listening or they don't get my money. EDIT: Nevermind, I'm retarded. After thinking about it my position is wrong and dumb. Thanks for calling me out on it. EDIT EDIT: Writing books and roofing do have a lot in common, though.

That's exactly what I go through with entertainment. You're saying this has never happened to you? I get invested in something for a short while, spend money and time enjoying it, then get bored and move on to something else. If it takes more than two years to get the next book out I will...

Your romanticized vision of how books are made is charming. Really. Roofing and writing have a lot in common, and writing is just another job at the end of the day. You're right that buying a book in a series isn't a contract forcing the author to complete the series in a reasonable amount of...

I see your point, I disagree with you. The wait between books is more unpleasant than the book is enjoyable. I enjoy Lynch's writing. He's good bordering on great. But I've been burned too many times by authors taking years to write the next book. Waiting for a good book is like living with...

That's fine. I understand he's been through some rough, rough shit since the last book. He writes good stuff but don't waste my damn time if you want my loyalty and my money. Another gap longer than two years and I'm done.

Going to pick up my pre-order tomorrow. I've read the leaked ARC and damn, it lived up to my expectations. But, I don't think it was good enough to excuse the five year break. He needs to get the next one out in the next year or so if he wants to keep me as a reader.

Without Remorse and Rainbow Six are essential reading. Some of his other shit was decent. John Clark is a bad motherfucker.

I voted no by accident. Or did I?

You're wondering if the guy that published 16 books in 8 years is going to keep publishing books? He's not even 40 yet, I think he'll get around to it.

The spell and combat systems are boring and too simulationist for me, which is why I dislike 3.5 and earlier editions. Pathfinder makes significant improvements. Biggest problem with 4E (other than shitty / incomplete campaign settings), is the combat got bogged down by tracking combat marks...

Pretty much where I am. The only thing I'm really bitter about is the lack of a DMG 3 for 4E and how awful the 4E campaign settings books were (excluding Dark Sun, Eberron, and Neverwinter). Essentials was a bullshit money grab attempt to bridge older editions and 4E, but ended up fucking over...

Aren't you a mapple syrup tycoon? Just spend the $12 bucks or whatever for one of the greatest games of all time.

If 3.5, 4e, and D&DN convinced me of anything it's that WotC does not deserve any more of my money. They try to be all things to all people at the same time and end up satisfying no one. Paizo on the other hand, does one thing and they do it very very well. If I liked 3.5e (which I don't)...

Where would someone look if they were interested?

REPUBLIC OF THIEVES IS ALMOST HERE!

What made EQ great was the community and complete ignorance of everyone involved. No one shared raid strats because of the non-instanced content, and if you went online for information (even up to Velious) what you found was either incomplete or straight wrong. Being part of the brain trust of...

About 25% chance of spawning once you found one of the two placeholders in South Karana. After that, it was a 30% chance the cloak would drop per kill. Placeholder respawned in less than two minutes iirc, so if you knew what you were doing and had another person who knew what they were doing...

Two of my top three draft picks combined for 11 points this week. Doug Martin + Stevan Ridley. One of them may have lost the starting job. (Stevan Ridley)

I have Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson as QB options this week. I also have Reggie Wayne as my flex. I feel like I should invest in Wilson at QB just in case it goes south for Luck / Wayne. But if they have a big week I'm going to look like an idiot.

Sony Online Entertainment. Electronic Arts. Any movie with Tom Cruise, Wil Smith, or John Travolta.

Aaaaaaaaand we're going to war again. Cheers.

Not comparable. 9/11 happened in New York, what do average New Yorkers think about... I see what you mean.

Tuco, there was a guy living in Syria that did an AMA yesterday. He thinks it was Assad, that's good enough for me. I trust some random dude that lives there over international press and government agencies.

Abruptly, Himeo decided to continue reading. Abruptly. Abruptly. It became a drinking game for me. Abruptly.

I'm about 2/3rds of the way into the first book and I really dislike the slow plodding pace of the writing. Many of the story ideas are pretty damn epic, and exactly the kind of stuff I'd want to read about. But this is just too dry for my tastes. Too much like Tolkien, and not enough like...

Dear Zachary.

The only way out of this without mass death is to get the American public to agree on something and work together to... We're fucked aren't we?

Nah, but seriously we have a great history of nonviolent protests working in this country. I mean, Occupy Wallstreet accomplished so much. Really changed the national debate right? Right? ... If only there was some way we could organize, like, a new political party. One that could field...

Can we quit pretending this is anything other than a distraction from the NSA spying scandal? Stump speeches about how corrupt this country has become are like white noise to me now. Stop talking and do something about it already. It's like listening to a bunch of field slaves talking...

When I built trails several years ago the more experienced crew members could move rocks up to half a ton with nothing but their bodies, and up to a full ton or more using a lever and fulcrum. I have no idea how he moved rocks larger than that or how he lifted tonnes of weight off the...

Atlus was merged into Index Corporation back in 2010. In June, Index Corporation filed for bankruptcy, and last month their stocks were delisted from the Osaka Securities Exchange. I read it wrong. They haven't been closed down yet, but their parent company is in deep shit.

Atlus went out of business a couple months back. Also, don't forget Level-5. Ni No Kuni renewed my love of jrpg's. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is the best computer RPG of the last decade. Patch it before you play it. Check out Skyrim if you haven't played it. As far as Sci-Fi, it's...

I sure hope the police don't arrest the wrong black kids for this.

People have asked him about doing another trilogy after KCC and he's never given a straight answer. It's a safe bet Kvothe dies in book 3.

Kudos, I have to give you props. You've reached a new level or stupid. Your irrational hatred of a silly video game is immune to facts or reason. You've earned a spot in my signature.

So 7+ million players is a dead game? Learn to math. When WoW drops under 1 million subs it's going to be a dying game. When it has less than 10,000 subs it will be dead.

2005: WoW is dying. 2006: WoW is dying. 2007: WoW is dying. 2008: WoW is dying. 2009: WoW is dying. 2010: WoW is dying. 2011: WoW is dying. 2012: WoW is dying. 2013: WoW is dying. <- Why should anyone believe you this time? Let's compare this to EQ. 2002: EQ is dying. 2003: EQ is...
