    What did you just read?

    Miles Cameron' Masters and Mages trilogy Loved his Traitor Son Cycle books (only one meh book in the bunch) this new series I found to be a tad lackluster. There is one main POV in the series, interesting character but it feels like the story (which is the character's story) is a frame for a...

    Will Wight

    Just read Uncrowned, best in the series so far. Spoilers ahead: I know that isn't a popular take but I see it differently than 'what power up this volume' so much as how much has the main character progressed: from the scheming, conniving worm dependent on the protection of others to the young...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I dunno about Syrio = JH but Preston Jacobs had a video with some compelling evidence that JH, Rorge and Biter weren't in the Black Cells together by accident and may have each been searching for Arya as part of some convoluted Faceless Man plot.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    And to contribute a little away from the titty talk, Ramsay threatens the Wildings in the letter because Wildlings are 'the threat' he is using to attempt unify the northern lords behind him. He openly mentions Rickon because those lords who would be loyal to the Starks would be loyal to Jon...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The only thing that makes me doubt the veracititty (heh) of the shot is that they haven't sagged a bit over the years. But yes, they are the same size, same half dollar areolas (with one slightly large than the other) .... I believe they were hers.

    Ready Player One

    Just read it... I agree the book is flawed.. I fucking hated the first time the main character interacted with the antagonist, that entire scene was awful, but the book has an undeniable 'heart' to it. Something tells me the author has spent some time interacting online with overly self...

    MMA Thread

    Saw the Holms Tate fight a lil differently. Basically went 5 rounds because the Striker couldn't get the KO and the grappler couldn't get the takedown and finish until near the end. Just took that long for one to finally impose their will.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Real life physics doesn't even exist in comic books, much less any comic book movie... A far less asinine complaint would be WTF is Batman doing shooting guns?!?! That is completely anathema to his modern day persona.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Hows the actual shooting mechanics in this game? Video I saw of it looked kind of stilted and a lil slow, not nearly as smooth as Destiny (course what games are) but it makes me a little hesitant to buy it when it comes out.

    John Gwynne - The faithful and the fallen

    Reading it now, something about it I like (cant figure out what atm) but god is some of it terrible. The lengths the author goes to bring some characters back from the brink of death is annoying... every fight must feature some hero ineptly tripping over a dead body, every fight the main...

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    Batman as Patriarch was the clear editorial intention (for years) up to a majority of fans killing it in favor of more grim and gritty bullshit. Forget where I heard it but there was an interview with some DC insider a while back that made it clear there were long range plans for a shift in the...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Err its gonna be darker by virtue of the focus on the abusive relationship between a delusional criminal and a homicidal psychopath. Not to mention the team's version of Groot eats people... That's not to say it will be grimdark but no way this will get mistaken for GoTG.

    Wheel of Time series

    Just reread the series again, makes it the third and final time. While annoyed with some of the weak characterization, spotty narrative choices, and clich?d descriptions I have to say that, for some reason, the ending was actually more emotionally satisfying this time around even though I found...

    Destiny: Rise of Iron 9.20.16

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Eh, didn't even know the new trailer was out... heard some coworkers talking about it, they all seemed hyped for it. Keep in mind I work in construction so these were all real men, not a gaggle of girly nerds. Even if the movie is terrible I suspect its probably going to be a hit.
