And the winner of the "Best Profile Pic EVER Award" goes to Mailliw, for reasons I should hope are obvious.

That is both mildly disconcerting and badchull.

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

You Know You're a Sanderfan When...

Uh... don't listen to this guy. He's obviously part of the conspiracy. -
I don't care why. What's important is that we arrange this scene as soon as possible.

And now I wonder who Obliteration is sad about breaking up with.
-
Maybe he'd just start crying and complaining that his father didn't hug him enough?
-
How would getting drunk help? Wouldn't alcohol be the most likely thing to have gotten you into this mess?

Don't listen to all these naysayers. I support you no matter what relationship choices you make.

Apparently your pain drugs have force field opinions of their own.

Chuck Norris, eat your heart out.

What kind of ratio between posts to pips exists?
-
We have the highest reps because we post wacky pony comics in the Reckoners RPG. It doesn't mean we actually know what we're talking about. Also, not sure if you're joking or not, but... WoB says there is no version of Earth in the Cosmere.

"Not just a rifle, Mr. Springfield: a rifle and a beanbag." * grins with anime hearts floating above her head *

"And what's this?" "That's the statue commemorating the day you won a bet with Knighthawk, and the loser had to mass produce cell phones for the entire Fractured States!" "Ah. That in no way explains why there's a giant bronze milkshake sitting in the middle of town."

"And after killing Koschei and all three of his henchmen with one bullet, Remington Springfield put out the great Dalles fire with the sheer intensity of his slick dance moves!" "You're flunking history, Ms. Runes."

He has slaughtered villains and heroic men for the sake of entertainment. He has tormented innocents and ruined lives all for the sake of more interesting protagonists. He has started wars just so he could enjoy watching the ensuing conflict. He has destroyed entire civilizations just so he'd have interesting ruins to explore. The most terrifying monster in any Sanderson novel... is Sanderson himself.

That twist would have to be handled... delicately, to say the least. Frankly I'm inclined to dislike any conjectured twist that would make David more important than some random guy who decided to rise up against the Epics, but that's just me.

And Percy spends all day in his Prefect State.

1) David explains this as having to do with the Epic's bearing and overall attitude. It is a well-known phenomenon that people can pick out small details about others at a glance without fully knowing why--I once knew a pair of identical twins who were impossible to distinguish in photographs, but easy to tell apart in person because of subtle differences in attitude. 2) Much as I hate harping on this particular fact, but Epics cannot be gifted powers. We are not sure why David is better at using them. Maybe he feels the same emotions that power an Epic's abilities, or maybe he's just an intelligent young man and a fast learner. His skill with a rifle and in categorizing files aren't held to be evidence of his secretly being an Epic, so why should his ability to use gifted powers? 3) I'm not sure why it would bug you. Epic powers are known to have unusual quirks, and an ability as poorly understood as Steelheart's transmutation doubly so. Maybe you're right--I never discount the possibility that I might be wrong--but I don't think this particular incident requires such a dramatic explanation as a secret-Epic scandal. Also, as TwiLyght said above just before I was going to hit post, he would have gone through a Rending, and even if he wasn't powerful enough to have done so, Calamity of all people would have known about it. So while it's a cool idea, I still think there's not much evidence to support it and far more evidence to refute it. (Though my personal bias of enjoying the "normal man vs supervillains" theme of the books might be coloring my opinions to some extent. )

All this talk of "unbiased opinions." I suppose it would be bad form of me to start a Sam article with "SAM IS THE BESTEST CHARACTER IN ALL OF OREGON!!1!" ?

I've been going for approximately 390 x 410 for the infobox pictures, using mypictr.com for the actual cropping. And thanks for the edit. ... ANOTHER weirdo? Definitely worth the anticipation. I cannot give this enough upvotes.

What can I say. LEEROY JENKINS!

It's super effective! ...I do not know many video game references.

On behalf of all the Americans who haven't seen it yet I'd like to point a friendly finger at the spoiler discussion on the Entertainment board.
