Kobold King he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Kobold's mom. She met my little sister, too, so she may have met two Sharders and one future Sharder.
Mistrunner Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 On the upside, I met two Sharders in person today. She met my little sister, too, so she may have met two Sharders and one future Sharder. *jealousy is tangible* 2
Kaymyth she/her Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 We had the in-laws over on Sunday for Easterthings. I hid eggs for the niecelings. In addition to the three dozen chocolate-filled eggs, I hid brussels sprouts in two of them. Because I'm that aunt. The joke was on me. Older Niece ascertained that the prize was, indeed, a brussels sprout and then proceeded to start happily munching away on it. Yes, she's seven years old. Yes, it was raw. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised; this is the same kid who asked for a can of cranberry sauce a couple of Christmases ago and was excited when she got it. Younger Niece (who is five) just shot me a look that clearly said, "I am unimpressed by your shenanigans" and calmly handed hers to me without a word. 4
Seonid he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 *jealousy is tangible* That makes another one of us. One day I'll meet the folks here in person... Until then, I'll be happy with the Sharders I have met.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I just read a most wonderful book review. Here's my favorite Snippet: Myke’s debut novel, Control Point was described by Peter Brett as “Blackhawk Down meets The X-Men.” The best mash-up logic I can come up with for Javelin Rain is “Steven King and Brandon Sanderson perform necromancy on Tom Clancy.” Edited March 30, 2016 by The Only Joe 4
Seonid he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Oh Howard Tayler, how I love thy book reviews... But Schlock is still better
Young Bard he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I had parent teacher interviews tonight. My favourite quote comes from my Legal Studies teacher. "You know, sometimes I think (Young Bard) wants to run the class." Edited March 30, 2016 by The Young Bard 1
Mestiv he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Ladies and gentlemen! I present you, the cover for polish version of Emperor's Soul! You can start being envy in 3.. 2.. 1.. now 6
Young Bard he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) I just looked up doge, and got this: doge dəʊdʒ/ nounhistorical the chief magistrate of Venice or Genoa. Uhhh... Thanks Google. You made me laugh, if nothing else. Edited March 30, 2016 by The Young Bard 1

Oversleep Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Ladies and gentlemen! I present you, the cover for polish version of Emperor's Soul! You can start being envy in 3.. 2.. 1.. now For Almighty's sake, I wanted to post it! It's pure upvote magnes! BTW, I asked my friend who watches Adventure Time whether he watches Gravity Falls. He said no. Today I log into my Facebook to see that: He, 10 am : I am watching Gravity Falls too, because you said you do. And I remembered it's awesome cause I've seen it in TV He, 6 pm: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?! Me: Let me guess. You didn't go to your classes, stayed home and watched as much as you could? He: I didn't have classes today. He: But the rest is true. Now I'm on episode 7 and he's on 15 :| Edit: I'm sad that I can't properly get a chance at cracking Gravity Falls mysteries... It would be like trying to theorize who the Hero Of Ages is when everybody else has already read up to Alloy Of Law. If I try snuffing around on the internet, I'm gonna end up reading spoilers. I'd hate that... but at the same time, in the freeze-frame bonus in the intro I saw stormrusting geometric transformation matrices. Well played... well played. Maybe I should just watch it all? But then everything will be explained in the show! Rust and Ruin! Edit2: This is my 1000th post (rep: 450, King's Tester)! Celebrate! 1000 posts in 4,5 months... nice Edited March 30, 2016 by Oversleep
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Watching my first-ever Futurama episode now, since it was on in and it's not news. I saw my first-ever Simpsons episode yesterday and wasn't impressed, but since it was a more modern episode (I could tell because it referenced smartphones and The Secret) it may not have been the best sampling.
Orlion Blight he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Seasons 3 through 10 are the golden age of the Simpsons.
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Seasons 3 through 10 are the golden age of the Simpsons. That's what I've heard, and since this was season….20 something at the least, I got the impression I was watching the vaguely amusing stylings of a zombie comedian.
Mailliw73 he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Bruce Wayne Batpug and I have an unshakable friendship which will last a lifetime now. I fed him ice cream and fries. I am confident his loyalty is mine. Told Nessie you said hi, by the way. He said hi back before re-submerging. That's awesome! That makes another one of us. One day I'll meet the folks here in person... Until then, I'll be happy with the Sharders I have met. Hey! We live like less than a mile apart. Not that we've ever seen each other around town. 1

It is kinda hard to pinpoint what was lost. I think the key difference is that it lost a sort of whimsical manner and became merely silly.There's also the matter of the characters becoming parodies of themselves, an increased focus on more contemporary pop culture, and the murder of Phil Hartman...but I think all those issues would be surmountable if they kept a healthy dose of whimsy.
Patar he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) For those of you who don't know, Vin and Elend are in a "Cage Match," where they fight other characters from popular books. They are currently in the semi-finals, buy their lead is falling fast. It would be awesome if we could help get them to the finals. If you haven't already, go and vote for them! Here is the link to where you can go vote: http://suvudu.com/2016/03/cage-match-2016-round-4-legolas-and-gimli-vs-vin-and-elend-venture.html Let's get them to the finals Voting closes at 11:59 a.m tomorrow.

Legolas and Gimli? Really? An archer and an axeman.. against Allomancers? 1
Patar he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Legolas and Gimli? Really? An archer and an axeman.. against Allomancers? Yep. It's ridiculous that it is as close as it is.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted March 30, 2016 Author Posted March 30, 2016 When i voted on Monday Elend and Vin had 75% of the votes. What's it at now?

The episode I saw wasn't whimsical, just very cynical. Though I've decided I like Futurama.
Patar he/him Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 When i voted on Monday Elend and Vin had 75% of the votes. What's it at now? Right now it's at 53% Vin and Elend, 47% Legolas and Gimli. It also looks like the link isn't going directly to the fight, but it is easy to find on the site.
Seonid he/him Posted March 31, 2016 Posted March 31, 2016 Hey! We live like less than a mile apart. Not that we've ever seen each other around town. True. Is it sad that we live that close, but the only time we see each other is at Brandon's signings?
