    The King Henry Tapes (By Me!)

    Neb, thanks for the update! Stumbled into this thread tired and ready for bed. I liked the sample chapter, but now I'm really ready for bed.

    So, are all loot boxes that you get from leveling up the Olympics Loot Box, for the time being? Also, I really suck at this week's brawl.

    A Song of Ice and Fire - Book Spoilers Within

    If Winds of Winter ever comes out, I'll definitely read it. i don't expect to ever see the seventh installment in print though.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I think initially I was just going to reread The Crippled God. When I finished it, I couldn't think of anything else to read, so I grabbed Dust of Dreams. After that book I think I just decided I'd go for it and read the whole thing in reverse order. My brother, and a few of our friends are...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    I can't imagine going audio-book for a first time through this series. Different strokes for different folks, though. I've read the series a few times, even read it backwards once. The thread seemed to die right after Fall of Light came out. Myself and someone else commented on the book, and...

    Site Move Megathread?

    Eh, I've lurked on this site for years. Think I registered at FoH in 2002, and never got more than 40-50 posts. Only had 100ish on rerolled. Some of us just lurk, I suppose.

    Pokemans and how to catch them with your phone - friend codes in OP

    No Pokemon at Dale Hollow Lake. With insence I attracted a bunch of Magikarp and a weak ass Dratini. Hopefully the whatever big baddie of the deep shows up while I'm here. First Pokemon game for me.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Couple of my buddies are convinced Tyrion is a Targaryen. One has read the books, the other has not. Le sigh.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    What's this about "both Frey heirs" being dead? Didn't Walder have 20-some-odd true born male children? Edit: In the books, anyway. I thought it was talked about in the show as well, him being on wife 7 or 8. Also he lined up all his daughters at one point for Roose to choose one, so I figure...

    Overwatch

    I think this is probably a big part of it. Those of us who have played LoL for years are used to toxic players, bad attitudes, and shitty play from other players. You can be the guy who tries correct others or tell them how to play; you'll be frustrated, that's for sure. Or you can take the good...

    I think for this season it is just the golden weapons. I imagine they'll add more rewards as time goes on, but for now that's all I've seen.

    Yep, ever since someone mentioned it I've been shielding Reinheart for a lot of free power up. Also, I love the overtime mechanic. Both sides are usually friendly after a long overtime, lots of gg's etc after close overtime.

    I'm late to the Zarya discussion. She is my most played, with 15 hours at 60% win rate. Lucio and Mei are my second and third most played, at 8 and 7 hours. I love Zarya's playstyle, and find she fits into almost every composition. Once you get a good feel for her survivability, you can stay...

    I practiced it for about 30 minutes a little while ago, and only managed to get six or seven successful flights. Was unable to do it at all without jumping, so the "Jumping helps!" comment is 100% spot on in my experience. Your mileage may vary.

    I've been trying to get fancy and get an emote into a PoTG for a few days now. I don't get PoTG much, rarely play offensive characters. The other night I'm on Ilios as Lucio, the map with the point on the edge of the map, with lots of places to knock people to their deaths. Knock two guys off...

    Got this game over the weekend, am up to level 20. Really having a blast. Haven't played many of the killers much, have mostly stuck to supports and tanks, seems like the best way for me to positively affect the outcome of the match. Mostly playing solo queue, brother and roommate have joined...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Anyone else finished Fall of Light yet? I enjoyed it, but it wasn't what I was expecting. The story-telling in this installment left me wanting. I enjoyed the book, but I'll need a reread before I can really make a better opinion of it. I drink nightly, and I tend to read drunk at the end...

    So tempted to get Fall of Light on my Kindle, but it will be here in a few days in hard-copy. Must resist the temptation to buy it twice.

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Just finished Dancer's Lament. Thanks for the heads up on the novel, Rogosh. Esslemont's books always sneak up on me; I had no idea he was working on this as a trilogy. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I'll be purchasing a copy of it when it's released here in the US, to support Esslemont. I...

    Dungeons & Dragons - New & Old

    My brother and his buddies have been playing D&D for a while, and for the first time, I've joined a campaign. I created a Cleric, Trickery Domain. I chose that domain because I wanted to be a special snowflake, and the domain spells seemed really cool at the time. While the domain spells have...

    Malazan Book Of The Fallen

    Forge of Darkness is probably the book to read right now, considering the sequel, Fall of Light is right around the corner (late April). Forge gives a perspective to the world that you only get a sense of the Book of the Fallen. I liked Esslemont's work, as well. Some of it isn't stellar, but...

    So they drop their buffs and consolidate from three tribes to two for two immunity challenges, and then merge? Guess they really wanted to keep brawn around.

    What's the word on the David Weber Harrington series? I'm on the third book at the suggestion of a regular at work. There's 16 of these books though. If this is space Drizzt I want out now!

    The King Henry Tapes (By Me!)

    I'll be picking this up tonight when I get home. Plowed through all the FM stuff about 2 weeks ago. Glad I finally checked this series out. Saw the thread years ago and never tried the series, then saw the thread getting some bumps and decided I ought to give it a try. Glad that I did.

    What age did you start selling crack

    Half an eighth. 1/16 = teenager (as we called them), or a tweener. 18, but I sold cocaine not crack, and I didn't even really sell it. I "sold" to other people at work to get mine cheaper.

    Drakain, definitely keep going. The series is awesome. Discussion here makes me want to dive into certain spots in the series for clarity. It seems to me someone commented on Quick's magery having the flavor of Galain at some point in the series. I'm tempted to go back and reread the...

    The gender of which Bridgeburner? Edit: also I think the T'lan Imass magic deadening was due to Lorn and her Otataral sword.
