When you can't stand Hunger Games: Catching Fire, because their revolution is so far inferior to Kelsier's plan. Also, when you realise that religion is a necessity for successful revolution.

 

When all you can think of during Divergent is how easily a Coinshot could destroy everyone.

How, exactly? The Lord Ruler would have killed half of Luthadel without leaving his tower if it wasn't for the plots of things Kelsier never would have imagined to exist.

Because using someone with legitimate ability and achievements as your PR figure is probably a less cringeworthy plan than using the girl that went viral over a staged romantic drama and mourning for one single person in a tournament where all but one person is supposed to die, I guess.

She kinda wasn't even doing it on purpose either.

Please, it is not like they actually had someone better to use for propaganda. If a Kelsier like figure had been born on Panem the rebellion would have a much easier time.

When I'm playing Dark souls and I keep saying to myself, "One day I'll be a real Elantrian!"

 

Also, I talk about that game to much on these forums......

Having poorer material makes poorer results understandable, but the results are still worse.

Personally I'm fine with the rest of the revolution, but the propaganda kinda involved a lot of coincidences.

But they had better results. Mostly because Snow was not a living god.

I'm talking about the propaganda here. The videos were cringeworthy at times.

The rest of the revolution, I felt it did pretty well as I said.

TLR was trying to save the world in the end, I'm sure he would've let the Inquisitors sort it out a bit less extremely if not for sudden assassination attempt + deus ex machina.

Also, having an invincible demigod as their enemy is no less there fault as it is Panem's fault for having nobody better to use.

I apologize for the downvote. This used to be at zero before my finger slipped on my tablet.

You know you're a Sanderfan when you ask your brother for advice on a story you're writing, and you get a feeling of disgust when he suggests that the story have more elements of traditional plots.

Once you go Sanderson, there's no tolerance for lesser quality. Even and especially for one's own writing.

Oh, I only read the books and remember little, but if my memory serves me well, I agree.

I still stand by ny headcanon that Rashek stoped caring a few decades after his Ascension and would let the Inquisitors have their fun just because telling them not to would be to much work.

Point taken.

When, due to allergies making your eyes more sensitive, you find that you really don't want to be a Tineye.

 

Poor Spook. :wacko:

When my skype conversations with my friend for the last 3 days have been:

 

me: So, have you finally read mistborn yet?

 

friend: No

 

me: I'm done talking to you now

I'm not sure boosting your senses has any effect on allergy (unless you have rash on skin - then the itching could drive you crazy). But the whole sneezing/running nose thing? That has nothing to do with senses. No matter whether your nose is great or terrible, it's about the allergen contacting yourself.

That's not really what I meant; what happens is, whenever I get a cold/allergies, my eyes become sensitive enough that I have to squint everywhere. Basically, light hurts my eyes a lot more than usual.

The revised Polish edition of WoR had some changes (those which Brandon made, as you remember - ending and stuff). Unfortunately, nobody thought to check other things... So Hoid instead of saying that perfect pitch makes things easier says that perfect tuning makes things easier. Ooops, there it goes the Warbreaker reference.
And Diagram code is still stormed up.

You're definitely a Sanderfan when your leisure time activity is decoding the wrong code to know how they translated the message and then coding it right. I am gonna put it on the fansite, though, so it's kinda productive, right?

I gave The Final Empire to my friend about 2 months ago (maybe a bit more_ and they still haven't read it :(

When you take a Sanderson book on a trip and realize that you've read it so many times it becomes hard to read because you know exactly where you are in the book and what's happening from reading two sentences.

Accidental downvote! Could someone fix it please? Stupid phone.

When at the office your shoes and the carpet interact the way, that you are spraying sparks whenever you touch metal, you start to think if you are the Dark One.

When you get all excited when you see that the Sanderson Memes thread has a new post, only to deflate when you discover that it was just someone replying to a comment.
