Good thing a new Ratchet and Clank game out recently

2. Proton Drum

3. Groovitron

4. Glove of Doom

5. Warmonger

6. Sheepinator

7. Pixelizer

8. RYNO

9. Buzz Blades

Think those are all right, and well they should all come from the latest game unless they share the same name with a different Ratchet and Clank game.

WLIU Name 15 Overwatch Heroes. (playable or non-playable)

ok WLIU name ten mentor figures who die in the first half of a story  

Do we want to go back and answer Delightful's question now then?

I'll see how many I can think of...

1. Brom (Inheritance Cycle)

2. Qui-gon Jinn (Star Wars Saga)

3. Uncle Ben (any iteration of the Spider-Man origin story)

4. Falstaff (Kill Shakespeare--he dies in Vol 2 of this graphic novel series, and there are 4 Vols)

5. Spoilers for Flamecaster by Cinda Williams Chima:

Han Alister--dies in the 2nd chapter.

6. Spoilers for The Final Empire:

Kelsier, if we are counting the original Mistborn trilogy as one story rather than just the first book.

7. The highwayman in The Accidental Highwayman by Ben Tripp--not the title character but the character everyone else mistakes him for.

I have a feeling I'm probably missing some that other people will find obvious, but I've run out of ideas for now.

[Eagle of the Forest Path he/him]

8. the "other Uncle Ben" Obi-Wan Kenobi (original Star Wars trilogy)

Does Gandalf count even though he came back to life?

edit: 9. first female mentor, Moiraine Damodred (the Wheel of Time), oh wait, she came back to life too  

Edited June 24, 2016 by Eagle of the Forest Path

[Delightful]

I'm gonna say no to Gandalf since he comes back and solves things. 

[Darkness Ascendant he/him]

8. Mufasa (I think, They all look so similar, so I screw up the names sometimes)

 

[Delightful]

Okay. Fine. Yes to Gandalf and Moraine, someone come up with a new question.

[Sunbird she/her]

Okay... WLIU name 15 female authors--any genre, any time period goes!

WLIU: Name a movie, book, or TV show starting with each of the letters 1-10 (inspired by @Delightful's great question, and arguably both harder and easier).

[Sunbird she/her]

First of all, @Delightful, applause for you! I'm an English language major and I would have had a hard time coming up with that many words with no vowels!

Second of all, @Jondesu: This is my kind of challenge!

All the Paths of Shadow (book)

Blood Ties (book--actually there are several books with this title)

City of Bones (book and movie)

Die For Me (book)

Ensnared (book)

Frindle (book)

Grave Peril (book)

Holes (book and movie)

Inkheart (book and movie)

Juno (movie)

In the same vein as Daniyah's question... WLIU name ten words that can be made by using the letters in the name Brandon Sanderson.

D'oh, I was trying to say Numbers 1-10, not letters. :-P I'll reuse that one later, you of course answered the question I actually posed. I'll let someone else handle your challenge.

Oh lol. Titles beginning with numbers would definitely be harder... I might be able to do it if titles containing the numbers are allowed and they don't have to be the first word.

[Delightful]

@Sunbird it wasn't an English major answer  ....I thought of rhythm and then suddenly remembered a primary school teacher saying that words without vowels almost always have a y replacing a vowel....and I went from there.

Hm. Ten romantic leads... Does that mean the story they're from has to be primarily a romance? Or can they just be a love interest in other genres of stories?

Love interest from anywhere, but it has to be their primary role in the story. 

(Inspired by a movie I was watching all about the guy saving the girl so she can have a great life! And by the end of the movie we don't know what she's interested in, her hobbies, or if she even made it into college in the end. All we know is that she's pretty and she loves the main character. He of course is in college and is rich and all the men in the movie end up happy.  . Hence my offer of upvotes if you can find male characters with that role).

@Delightful

This is...kind of depressing. I can think of romantic characters -or male leadss who have a romance- but not any male romantic leads, where the point is the romance.

I'm completely drawing a blank. While lots of books I read include romance, it's usually a subplot rather than the main plot, so the love interest has other major roles in the story besides "person the MC kisses/agonizes over."

The only male romantic lead that comes to mind is Mr Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. Have neither read the book or watched any of the adaptations, so someone can tell me if I'm wrong and he doesn't meet the criteria.
