Oh more questions. Was Cislla still the Chiss homeworld? Was it located in the Unknown Regions still? Are the Chiss still described as the descendants of a colony of lost humans the minerals of the planet slowly changed their eyes and skin color? i love Chiss. They were by far my fav EU species created. I wish that we could have gotten a Chiss Jedi or Sith in the books!

Yeah I refuse to buy or read them. I spent so much $ and personal time from 1993 to 2012 there's no way I ll let myself get suckered in starting all over again. I'm now a dreaded movie only fan that I used to loath so much.

So Outbound Flight and Jorus Caboth are still included?

I'd say Bakker is the more graphic in terms of description. Malazan does have a lot of sex but it's more comedic or behind the scenes/implied sex usually. There are some direct bits for sure.

Watched Logan today. It's utterly amazing.

Oh it was Vanity not Variaty. I don't think there are any major spoilers in this but if your wanting to go in completely free you may want to skip. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/05/star-wars-the-last-jedi-cover-portfolio

WITNESS!

Variety magazine had a nice long article about it this issue. There wasn't really any spoilers other then names for Del Toro's and Dern's roles and what Finn was shown in(should be obvious) in trailer. Mark had an interview but most of what he said is things he said in his Celebration panels. I ll link later if no one else does. i will say that it sounds as if they are trying to be clever with Del Toro's name but if you read old EU it's almost lol worthy at their attempt.

Karsa is a complete boss! I wonder if you realize something about him yet but I'm not sure exactly when this info is revealed in bk 4 so I won't say what it is.

Witcher 2. Loving it.

Many fans consider MoI the best of the 10. did you catch that ?

I'm only just shy of 200. Been playing a lot of 360 and having the kids this 1st week of summer. I know we keep saying it but yeah there is a lot of back flipping but the true reward is seeing tiny little things thrown in throughout that you won't even pick up on in bk 1 and on till a reread down the line. There are few if any reads as great as Malazan on your 1st go but that so far has been even better. Def worth considering for you to do a few yrs down the road I promise.

@Mestiv I would assume it is indeed is an attack but idk if any group has claimed credit yet. I had to turn the news off as I was so pissed. No idea if it is a group or was just a lone suicide bomber but it was a known event with 1000's of children. Horrible news and much chaos has been made today. ed: assumed suicide bomber indeed. Now to find out if they were a lone wolf or part of a cell.

19 dead 50 injured so far. I fear it will only be more as more news comes in. so mad

Omg! Manchester. I'm so angry right now. Explosions at a Ariana Grande concert packed with kids.

You...you ha hat hate Gene Wolfe?!

Whoa! I decided to turn 2 on and my son was watching and not 10 mins into game I had to tell him to turn his head as big boobs popped onscreen. Wasn't expecting that but it was awesome and funny for sure. This game seems complicated! Maybe I won't be so new by the time this hits.

Reading MoI reminds me I really should get the Beuchain and Korbal novellas.

Good news is S1 is only 8 episodes vs the normal 22 of S2. If you make it to end of that there is a movie called Fire Walk With Me and then it's Return. Return is on Showtime so I'm expecting only 8-10 of that. I really hope I can get through it all before Return ends. Oh and the music in the show so creepy it's great.

Never watched that one. Twin Peaks is definitely a weird show. I had planned to watch both seasons and the movie before Return aired today but that didn't work out and now I'm left with a lot of the 22 episode S2 still to go. S1 was brilliant imo. There is so much dark quirky comedy to it but then S2 ep 1added a very weird supernatural element to the show and turned me off for about 2 months till I got back into it yesterday. It's gotten good again moving forward. I reco it for the experience of watching something strange. There is beauty in its execution for sure but you have to go in with an open mind.

Trying to get through Twin Peaks. On S2 ep6 now.i have a lot to watch for sure before I can catch up with the Return.

In your last paragraph of tagged one of those is def foretold but how it turns out could be nothing or completely accurate. In any case I'm not telling you! ive just gotten only to pg 102.

Ha ha. My fingers are sealed. I fully expect some post out of you though for sure!

Thought you might. That was some powerful penmanship he gave us. how is MoI going? Where you at?

Bk 1 is probably the hardest while you learn about the 7 Saps and the very complicated color magic but bk 1 will payoff come conclusion time I promise. This series is caramel covered popcorn. I look foward to your reactions of the story.
