All those zombie stuff recently made me re-read Black Tide Rising by John Ringo - Books by Series List - Categories And I'm probably going to wrap up my 2017 Goodreads Reading Challenge of 85 books by the end of the month. I'll have to up my count for next year.

And another great alien mystery exposed! The mysterious Voynich manuscript has finally been decoded TL;DR: It's a reference book for a medieval ob-gyn.

It's what replaced the nethershard sink. You can't buy 880 gear with nethershard, instead, you can purchase a 6000xp book that adds 2 pixels to your follower xp bar, or a 880 gear token. Of course, I had the 7500 nethershards missions waiting for me on patch day, which meant that I had nothing...

The thing is, you still need to get out and grab some resources. The biggest difference between Class Halls and Garrisons is that you need to get out from time to time to grab resources, or you run dry.

And that's pretty much why flying is "needed". I can understand why running thru Commonlands and Kithicor took time, but I was going to spend an hour or two at HHK. Now, you're making me run round and round, up and down, until my objective. Which I kill, then run back 30s later. Ok, 2mn later...

AK42 came on monday, to the surprise of everyone...

Considering I got one the day I logged in after the patch... not really.

Well, she did look like that once:

Quick check says it should be only 40% redshift, which isn't enough for a red visible spectrum signal to drop beyond near-infrared.

Did not really pay attention, but it's true (just checked. in case fake news). Nice fan tease

With monster babies.

Why not? Imperial Rome had a population of a million...

Not his best, but good enough.

Hey. One of my physic teacher once went "well... 1/2 is totally negligible compared to 1, so here's the solution I wanted to show you..."

Cousin, in this case.

Nobody has a plot armor thick enough to withstand GRRM. Alas, GRRM isn't around to chuck ice spears to "invulnerable" characters.

Friend of mine is betting on the VERY unexpected. Dany dies (poisoned by Qyburn under Cersei's orders, or somesuch). The reasoning is that we should be getting a major not-entirely-expected death: Jaime, Jon, Dany, Cersei, Sansa, or Tyrion (Arya would be unexpected but majorly stupidly wasted...

And at the end, you get John Varley's Millenium world, in which the Eloi (lazy fucks) are cared about by the Computer, but the Morlocks (people who want to work) can indulge themselves, and one going on murder rampage across the Eloi is... considered merely bad taste. But only if it doesn't...

So... no big announce at Gamescom. Bleh.

Well, that's after dumping the wight at the feet of his brother: "Hi, got a friend for you. Maybe you can exchange tips on zombie life..."

They got the job because they had figured the R+L=J thing, so they must have been good at some lore stuff.

It's a ghost. No one seen it...

Special effects recap: some scenes look absolutely stupid when you see them for "real". Plenty of folks just standing around until they're called to swing or drop "dead". And yes, most of the scenes are sped up; the actors swing slowly (to avoid accidental injuries).

I think the whole setup is trying to convey the fact that Arya is no longer really Arya Stark. While she hasn't finished her journey to Nooneness, she's not your normal noble anymore (if she ever was). If she survives all of this, she'll probably be back to Jaqen in the end. Which is what he...

Trinket. Since everyone is always complaining about not having the right trinket (when they're not complaining about their legendaries, that is), it makes sense to have the Artefact Trinket. Which of course means it's not going to happen.

Well,

You haven't paid attention to the progressive stack. Did you notice how Jaime gets Tarly on board? Not with honor, or duty. No, he gets him on board when he says "you fight for Daenerys, you fight with rampaging savages. And ennuchs". And that's why he goes and fights for Daenerys, to the...

Just after Gamescom, the "11 week per patch" points to 8-29 (30 in the EU) as patch day.

We still have room for the last episode of the season. Hope springs eternal.

First build in the beta series spotted: Updated World of Warcraft Beta Build Config Looks like we might get more than an official 7.3 trailer at Gamescom...

Drat, already gone...

No magic Horn around to blow a hole in that wall...

Doubtful. At least half of those will die before the show's end. Until Sam's departure, I was an adherent to the "writer's theory" that has the entire Song of Ice and Fire being written by Grand Maester Tarly using his own experiences and all the stuff he got by raven at the Citadel after...

Well, so far, only 3 people seem to have interacted with mature dragons without them doing burninator moves. Daenerys, Jon, Tyrion (who, coincidentally, has a couple of theories about being also a Targ bastard from Aegon himself). (ok, didn't Missandei play and feed stuff to the dragons back...

It still puts a monkeywrench into the "I am the one and only rightful queen of the seven kingdoms" narrative. She can still be the Conquering Queen, but the Legitimate one is out of reach now. A bit of an ego blow.

Yea, we know GRRM shared about 3 key scenes he has planned, and we know the Hold The Door was the first one, so we should get the 2nd one sometime soon (hopefully this season). Assuming the wight-grabbing party is that occasion makes sense given than the previous also involved the undead.

If the fact that Cersei and Jaime gets back in the sack together in the middle of previous episode and she's already diagnosed as pregnant this one tells you that weeks and months happens between scenes, probably nothing will. I think it was a popular theory last season that, until NK-marked...

Dunno. Large corporations are incredible resilient against difficulties; much more than smaller ones. Once you're the dominant factor in the market, the only thing that can happen is that another big player from a parallel market wants to purchase you. IBM is still around, even if they...
