The author did a AMA just before episode 9 aired claiming he’s “writing a book”, but refused to say if it’s another book in the Dark Matter universe or something else. He did say something to the effect that he enjoyed the point of views of the other people in the show and combined with the...

This episode was pretty wild and while it took 8 Episodes I felt like it finally paid off and the show managed to stand on its own two feet. The worst thing going for this are the weekly episode drops which slowed the pace considerably and a couple entire episodes could have been cut completely...

haven’t logged in since the last dragon expansion, whichever one that was. Gave up on them ever trying to balance shit and recently read that every class can use just about every weapon now? Is that true? It’s like they ignored the decades long complaints and criticisms and quadrupled down on...

This isn’t bad but it’s not great either. Maybe it’s because multiverse/time travel/alternate reality has been beat to death since the 90’s but there isn’t anything new or exciting here. With counterpart there was the mystery of where the virus that decimated the other world came from and who...

Am I the only one who enjoyed Return of the Crimson Guard and Esslemonts books?

When/Why did they change the Improvement Points UI window? Is there a way to get it back instead of using the new one?

I’d shell out serious money for a top of the line PC/Monitor if they ever did a modern day remake with the latest and greatest graphics. Didn’t even know AO was still online. Hows the population and whats the endgame like these days? Edit: Oh Funcom sold to Tencent and all support for the game...

I like how the unique thing about the Nemesis character is that she has two lightsabers and it’s revealed they come from an ancient gauntlet from the line of her slain people that requires the severance of half your forearms to equip and use… …and then I love the revelation 5 minutes later that...

Release a new upgraded switch every 4 years, I don't care. It’s as close to a perfect medium between mobile and console as possible. The game boy was fucking awesome and everyone had one and carried one in the 90’s, it just needed technology to advance so it could. Here we are. I don’t need...

I rewatched Code 8 in preparation for Part 2 and… …6 out of 10 for me on Part 2. Writing and the fight scenes were a clear step down. I still enjoyed it but i’ll be surprised if Part 3 gets greenlit.

For me, reading mass market paperbacks is like reading the old school tiny magic the gathering instruction booklets where you go blind by the time you finish. If all of this was an issue about money i’d just torrent the audio books for free or go to a library and check one out. Like any form...

Shit that’s kind of an enigma. I’m piqued at old school dnd and warhammer but I wouldn’t dare be associated with these new age modern hippies. Maybe I’ll buy it, read it, then sell for a profit.

So, first book is good, correct? Read first, stop at first, that’s the consensus?

His wife might.

I wouldn’t wish a mass market paperback on my worst enemy and eating near books is sacrilegious. Wtf is wrong with you heathens?

Damn that’s pretty strong. Is this series that bad to warrant that or are you one of those who can’t fathom spending money on small specialty presses while dropping thousands on video game consoles, games, and new PC parts every 3 years?

Yeah the quality really is great from these small presses and Grim Oak is starting to become my favorite. Sean is a super awesome guy and a cancer survivor, too. Might just upgrade to the $300 one to make @zzeris happy and call it a day.

So it sounds like the consensus is the first book is good, the second is meh to shit, and like grrm he’ll never finish the series so I shouldn’t expect resolution? Was going to pick up one of the Grim Oak versions wednesday because of all the book nerds hyping this sale but I’m not sure now...

Ah for whatever reason I thought Netflix took up The Expanse for a year after SyFi dropped it before Amazon purchased it. I stand corrected.

My favorite part of the movie was the very beginning where immediately after being dropped off in foreign territory all the soldiers but one decide to randomly rape the village before they even secure their shelter or finish moving their supplies inside. Unfortunately all the criticism this...

How is she even able to Is any of this explained in the books?

As someone who has never read the books I liked season 1 and I thoroughly enjoyed season 2, but I’m not sure I’m really interested in a season 3. I feel like all the mysteries have somewhat been answered regarding Empire and I simply never cared about the Foundation itself or the coming...

I want to laugh at the blind shills over the past 3-6+ months in this thread who couldn’t wait to get their hands on this game and absolutely refused to even look at the smallest bit of criticism (especially the one or two 🌈 who kept saying “bUt U pLaYeD DI”), but I can’t. This was a train...

Liam Hemsworth is either desperate for work or he’s a masochist. If this is the best they can do with HC while literally everyone agrees HC has carried this show, imagine just how bad season 4 is going to be. My only fear at this point is that so many people are going to hate watch Season 4...

Any reviews on The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune by anyone here whose read it? The author seems to have a growing passionate fan base but the reviews I’ve read are a bit inconsistent.

You’re good. Original 1-3 and then 9-11 are all you need story/lore wise. Thought Boon said somewhere sometime back that he wasn’t even involved in several of the games after 4 and that he doesn’t recognize them as cannon. The only characters from 4+ that make an appearance in the reboot that...

Original MK - Armageddon: Earth and all allied realms eventually fall. Raiden sends back his consciousness before his final death blow to himself to before the original tournament. MK9 - MK11: First reboot. Raiden with all his future memories intact realizes he needs to do things differently...

Theres a reason why publishers won’t print books 2+ and that’s because historically they’ve been terrible sellers. I think it might have been Subterranean Press that said it recently, but to even make a profit after negotiating rights to obtain a title + finding a printer willing to do a half...

For books that are usually $600+, most are usually super rich collectors that like to display their favorite books/series and they do tend to hold their value. There are a few people crazy enough that read them at that price range. For what it’s worth though, you really do get what you pay for...

I know this is an old post but Centipede Press is in the process of doing the entire series, both as Limited/Signed and Unsigned if you have a significant chunk of change. Retail is around $650ish per book (with Signed/Limited being more) and they’ve published book 2 last month. You can buy...

Also @Intrinsic you purchased the original first print run from SP, right? Did you preorder Forge of Darkness? For anyone else that got on the first printing SubPress train for Malazan, preorders for Forge end the end of the month I think and if you’re not interested in purchasing the Malazan...

It’s been so long for me that I’m not sure what you’re referring to in all of the above. Brother? Which assassin? The reborn mage being Tattersail? Erikson focuses mostly on the Malazan army and their exploits and how it shapes things, but Esslemonts books tend to focus on the Empire itself...

This thread is more entertaining than D4 beta.

I’m not going to defend DI; I and others have wrote extensively enough regarding both the good and bad regarding that game. I do want to point out some irony though in that it seems like everyone loves to shit on DI without even playing it yet many of those same people are so eager to get their...

Source is the 25+ people in my DI immortal clan whose opinions I trust who all played the other betas and tested endgame and echoed the same thing exactly: Necro blazes through the early game and by end game you’re going to be switching to Druid or Barb for the higher difficulities. But like...

Supposidly Necro starts to slow down midgame and struggles a bit compared to many of the classes at endgame. Didn’t get to play too much but beta so far seems fine. Out of all the 3 main games in the series so far it feels closest to the original to me, which for me is a good thing. It seems...

They ever sell out of their super duper limited “collection box” that comes with a singular fake candle and no game? If anything I’m surprised how many are trying this beta. Sad that the biggest complaint seems to be the game feels pretty bland and I’m not even sure that was a complaint with...

Candle! You don't even get two! It's a misleading picture to show both "sides" of the singular candle and Blizzard doesn't bother to note that other than by saying candle at the bottom in the description. The D3 collectors edition got shit on too but for $100 you got the actual (physical)...

$100 "collectors box" doesn't include the game, lol. Limited to 50,000 on the 15th from B.net store. Candle of Creation (electric) Cloth Map of Sanctuary Diablo IV Collector’s Edition Art Book Occult Mousepad Pin of the Horadrim Two Matted Fine Art Prints Sized 18.54” x 10.79” Standard...
