Yep Outlander. Season 4 is starting in November and I always read the book it covers 1st. i hope I finish Return but yeah it hasn’t been a very successful 3rd attempt for sure.

Approaching the ending 200 pgs of Fitz 9 and I’m gonna have to fight my brain not to pick up Outlander 4 after but get done with Return instead. I have read a bit of Return everyday be it one word, sentence, page or chapter since starting Fitz books back in March and I’m only on pg 228.

I believe he began to say not to even bother asking before the Q&A’s started.

I know. I was teasing by asking the number one question RJ was asked.

Who killed Asmodean?

I know I read that at the time of Name of the Wind release he said he had all 3 written. very slowly making my way through Fitz 9 only on pg 257.

Otherland Bk 1 is superb. Bk 2 is good but lacks the impact of 1. Bk 3 was okish from what I was able to read of it. My rusting copy had a defect about 2/3 of the way in and it repeated hundreds of pages that I already read with no ending in book. I never rebought it so I didn’t read bk 4. Pissed me off. Ed: just an example I got to pg 600 and the next pg went back to pg 400 MS&T was superb. I will get new novella(not paying full HC$ on a novella) and new trilogy after it all hits in pb.

Finished Fitz 8 last night. It really reminded me a lot of bk 3 in which it had really boring beginning and mid sections but one hell of an ending(though I give bk 3 the better of the two) I must say. Started Fitz 9 the final Fitz book.

I don’t read plays or poems unless assigned to read them in high school or college and that’s been oh 15-20 yrs now lol. This stuff really isn’t my personal cup of tea. I also have maybe 1% knowledge of the Bible so I had no idea what your covering here. That said I do like reglious movies quite a lot. I will tell you what I liked. The Angel narrator bits as they were more book formatish, and when the 2 characters broke the 4th wall(I assume they are anyway talking to audience) but maybe I’m wrong on that. I didn’t like some of the longer dialogue portions. I would either cut it down or have more dialogue added in but broken up in shorter segments. i could get into what your doing easily if I was watching or reading a proper book though for sure so take comfort in that.

I hate feeling like this but it is how it is...on Fitz 8(Robin Hobbs Farseer books) and I’m just not digging this newest trilogy at all baring a handful of moments. 230 pgs left then bk 9 remain. Bks 7-8 have been a huge disappointment on one of my favorite series. I’m actually down right heartbroken about it.

Ugh this heat... still have July and August and most of September to go through before the next break. It’s been brutal. Hopefully we get another fantastic winter like this past one was.

Huh so that’s Shane Black??? Didn’t know.

Silanda should be the obvious 1st pick but you would have to atleast put some black painted bobble heads onboard or it just will not work.

I’ve always loved this franchise and am stoked up for this new movie in it. Note the trailer has language and potential spoilers (though a part of me hoping/thinking this bit is a misdirection and is thrown in to mess with us) for one bit.

It appears that although never officially announced Fett and Kenobi are on ice for now. Some vid discussion from the Council.

On WoT: Crown of Swords is actually one of my favorite of the series. My personal least fav is Path of Daggers due to a lack of something but Crossroads of Twilight is the most boring by a mile but atleast it had what PoD lacked. That may sound confusing. I also don’t get the hate that Crown and Winters Heart get. Both were awesome. Definitely don’t get the hate that Knife of Dreams gets as RJ

If you want the original Cosmere exp then read Stephen King novels. Not all them are fantasy genre but so many books have connections and it’s wonderful to piece it together.

I ll have to look up some vid before I decide then. The party swap sounds good. New dungeons would be cool depending where they at. I don’t really need to ride in the boat unless if going to Empire dungeon. sigh I really hope 16 gets back to series standards esp in the magic department. i doubt veryyyyyy much 16 will be current gen but I reallyyyyyyy hope it is.

I’m not sure what the Royal pack offers. I still never finished Ignis. P5 is so Japanese though. If your able atleast get it while it’s still 40% off at $29.99

Since we are all pretty much a clique here and talk about other stuff then Malazan to I ll cautiously knock on wood that it remains so reco that if y’all game and like RPGs and have a PS3/4 try Persona 5 which y’all can get at 40% off till the 19th on Store. It’s been amazing so far.

Har har. I knew you were. Iirc you had a profile pic up before Dare Devil(maybe Hawkeye it’s hard to see on phone) and various comments you made when you were new.

Bought Persona 5 as it’s 40% off and I was craving an RPG. I must say at only like 4 hrs in I’m enjoying the hell out it. Some of the dialogue is wayyy to long to sit through and as of yet the save point/time is few and far between but other then that it’s been turn based heaven for me.

Indeed. You can really tell the difference in experience if you read them next to each other. When he goes back I have a great feeling it’s gonna be even better and I just can’t wait. As fun as LB is I just want it to end so we can get back to NA2 asap

It was a fun movie but I still stand firm that it’s not a movie that should have been made at this time. They will hear the same complaints if indeed Boba Fett is the 3rd movie. This stuff wouldn’t be an issue if Solo was number 5 or even 6. There is so much more they should be telling in these early Anthology movies. They need to take advantage before James Earl Jones or Frank Oz dies. That may not make sense to read to some right now but it will afterwards I bet. At the least I really hope Disney has been recording not just them but others saying words in various tones for future use they can edit and string.

E3 has some good showings. Nintendo conference was weak and could very well have been the worst conference at E3 I’ve ever seen. being How only back in Nov I bought this $553 Xbone Scorpio that is a glorified dust collector I didn’t like hearing Phil Spencer saying they were working on the NextBox. I’m hoping atleast for a 2021 date if not longer. Ugh
