    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Well Sanderson has said that he doesn't want people to have to pay attention to all the cosmere stuff until the last triology of mistborn. So basically everything in his books are easter eggs for the nerds.

    He has 2 more trilogies planned for mistborn world. One set in modern times like earth and one set in the future

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    You'll see similarities between the magic systems from mistborn to stormlight archives since they take place in the same cosmere. Mistborn is a really good series and I enjoyed it. One thing I will say is that if you read Sanderson in order of release dates, you'll see that it gets much better...

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    Rumor has it ATT is going to buy directv. I wonder bad it has to get before the Government steps in and breaks up these media conglomerates like it did with ATT back in the day? I hope that Obama blocks the comcast/time warner deal like it did the ATT/tmobile deal.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    These Bundy supporters have said they want to put women and children on the front line so they get shot first in any confrontation with the government, so I would guess that the checkpoints and the bomb threats are just their way of trying to force a confrontation with the government so they...

    Supernatural

    It was heavy on the typical CW romance stuff, which I'm sure will attract the ladies to the show. I'm not sure that it would be plausible that 5 monster families would form a mob without a shit ton of hunters knowing about it. But it was good enough that I'll watch it. Will be interesting to see...

    Might as well finish it. Sanderson did a good job. I guarantee that if jordan was alive it would have been at least 6 more books instead of three.

    Sanderson has said that he doesn't want people to have read all the cosmere books to get everything until its time. Guessing the last trilogy of mistborn and dragon steel novels.

    Sanderson did a Q and A, where he said he was using the interludes to seed characters for later books. Lift I'm sure will factor in later books.

    Probably what happened is that the debt got sold and the new agency reported it as new debt. This is a violation of the FCRA. What State were you in when you got the debt? It could be out of the statue of limitations as well. What you need to do is in writing, dispute the debt with the...

    Stormlight Archive ( Released Spoilers )

    I'd link the thread but the 17th shard is down at the moment but in a Q/A Brandon confirmed that Zahel is Vasher and that he's on Roshar because he can get what he needs more easily there. I'm assuming he means that stormlight is pretty much the same as breaths and can sustain him.

    I'd recommend the links Zyke posted and also, if it comes up Forums - 17th Shard, the Official Brandon Sanderson Fansite I never caught on to the cosmere stuff until I noticed the name Hoid in a couple books. Then I started reading about the cosmere. Sanderson is nothing if not ambitious in...

    Hoid appears in all of the cosmere novels. Anyway just finished the book. I liked it. I really like the idea that Kaladin and I assume other Radiants can lose their powers if their spren thinks they are going against the ideals. Keeps them from getting too over powered. Shallan was much...

    I guess that is the good thing about every transaction with bitcoin being public record, you can always follow the trail. 200k btc is roughly $126 million at today's prices. That's some serious money right there.

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    A lot of streaming sites are going towards only allowing streaming if you subscribe to a tv package. That's how they are killing cord cutting. Bandwidth caps to go after those that torrent shows and requiring those that stream to subscribe to a tv service.
