    Tokyo Vice

    Agree on the tapes. Episode 9 this week was good. Looking forward to next week.

    Tokyo Vice

    I've been watching season 2. Still a good show. The first 7 episodes are out. Anyone else watching weekly or waiting for the entire season to drop first?

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    I liked season 4 overall. I just wish they would've acted like the CIA and merced everyone involved with the plot.

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    Bump. S4 has been good so far. 4 eps in and it's been entertaining. Pena has been good.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Finished 'Yumi and the Nightmare Painter,' the new secret novel. It was interesting and had a good concept. I wonder if there will be more books set in that world.

    Secret Invasion

    S4 first two episodes of Jack Ryan make it look like the season could be quite good. We'll see.

    The Machine

    Bret Chrysler is definitely an acquired taste. Hope the movie is funny so other comics can make good comedies again, though.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I finished my read and of ICE's original run of books, Night of Knives through Assail. Speed read through a good chunk of Assail. It was nice to see some loose ends tied but the quality difference was hard to get through. Bringing back a very important character wasn't that great to see.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I'm reading the Esslemont books for the first time. Enjoying them since you see different areas of the world. Also, some characters from Erikson. He's just not as good or funny as Erikson. Glad I bought the books, but I don't know about any re-reads. Seeing Korel, Assail, and Jacuruku was...

    Patrick Rothfuss Kingkiller Chronicles

    This plus A Song of Ice and Fire has made me wait buying book series until at least 3 books are released. Great start with nothing behind it.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Agreed. For kids getting into fantasy, Eddings is a fine start. Terry Pratchett's Discworld is also great. Some are young adult but he weaves characters across 41 books, which is impressive.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    For less complex reading, The Death Gate Cycle by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman is something I enjoyed when I was younger. Weddings has already been mentioned. I liked the Elenium and Tamuli better than Belgariad and Mallorean. Sparhawk is good. Abercrombie has a young adult series, Half a...

    The Joe Abercrombie Thread

    Age of Madness was good. I miss the old characters a bit, but he's done a good job keeping the world moving with changes. It'll be interesting to see the new/existing crop of characters move the world forward. Especially with any conflict by the magic users.

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    Finished season 3. I enjoyed it. Less ludicrous than season 2, maybe. A plausible plot that could potentially happen? Yeah, I think so.

    Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan

    Resurrected. 3rd season is out. Starts fast and am enjoying it. Much better than season 2. Lot of action.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Yeah, I just re-read the Mistborn Era 1 trilogy. Enjoyable, but a bit of a slog with the recurring themes Furry stated. I read Joe Abercrombie's latest, The Wisdom of Crowds, and he changes ages and themes without needing to reuse similar stories. I like Sanderson, but the Cosmere is taking too...

    MLB 2022: Georgia Gets the Last Laugh

    I wonder if it will be another 108 years for the Cubs to win the Series. Sucks to suck.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Yeah, I'm back to The Crippled God on a re-read and just skip the snake until there's a new PoV. Fantastic series but Erikson really dials up the philosophy in Toll of the Hounds. I'm glad he relaxed in The God is not Willing.

    Dark Souls

    Yeah, I've liked all the Dark Souls and Elden Ring but rarely parry. Gwyn notwithstanding. I'll play Sekiro at some point just to do it, but I doubt I'll touch it ever again.

    Dark Souls

    I'm just slogging through Sekiro. Not a fan. Wish Bloodborne and Demon Souls would come out for PC.

    The Terminal List

    Finished it. Liked it pretty well. Solid enough show. Will be interesting to see if they do more of the books. There are currently five.

    The Terminal List

    I'm up to ep 6 of 8. I like the story so far and a Seal just fucking people up with his friends. Also, Jai Courtney has a very punchable face so it's fun to see Chris Pratt going after him.

    The Terminal List

    The author of the book is Jack Carr. He's making the rounds on podcasts. Decent listen and the character sounds all right.

    My Max 15 is banging along Elden Ring quite nicely. Nees to set it up better with everything else I need. Just don't feel like it's worth the time yet.

    Thanks, need to buy more storage once I get it. Who wants to uninstall games?

    Got the Max 15 deal from Eluktronics. Going to be a great upgrade from a 1060.

    The King's Man (2020)

    Would take a key. EQ nostalgia is something else.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Yeah, the 2002 error and closing of the game is horrendous. Sit in queue, when you can get in, for 5 - 10 mins. 2002 error again.
