  1. I'll have a ham & cheese, light mayo, lots of pepper. As it is Adolnasium is so ill-defined I don't think proposing an opposite is useful. As I read it everything falls into the proposed rules anyway.
  2. Agreed that Sazed is a young God with some learning to do. That line about the radio seems like a very important one, and a demonstration of why too much Preservation and not enough Ruin is probably a bad thing(for Scadrial at least) I'm expecting an epic-tier screwup from Harmony in the latter parts of the W&W trilogy, perhaps Sazed is too good a man to be a God.
  3. Hi, please forgive my ignorance, but I was under the impression that Hoid was the Ars Arcanum author. Where is it stated/implied that this isn't Hoid? Cheers
  4. WARNING: KIND OF SPOILERY SPOILERS I liked it. It was odd, in that Iron man 3 was odd. It was clearly a blockbuster, but with a weird streak. I still find IM3's weirdness streak hard to describe. However CAWS is more clear, in that it's a paranoid spy movie mashed with a superhero movie, and it mostly works. As a European, the "Fall" of America as pop-culture's moral guardian is always interesting, and it was interesting that a "safe" movie addressed it. As pure spectacle, the action was ok, and my inner pedant grated at the whole "build a multi-trillion dollar secret base under a major city" thing. Superhero movie and all, but those logistics are impossible. Anyway, it was good, probably the best one of Marvel Cinematic Universe Tier 2, close with IM3.
  5. My girlfriend (now fiancé) had a gigantic pile of books, and a disproportionate amount of them were in a similar art style(the UK books). I noted the name and that he seemed absurdly prolific, knocking out gigantic books at an astounding rate. Then I realised the name matched up to one I'd heard that - about a year ago-had finished Wheel of Time. I'd gotten to book 6 before I'd hit my crem dung threshold for that series, but word from my more-patient friend was that it picked up at book 10, and that brandon ended it expertly. I eventually picked up Mistborn 1 and was hooked. His books are huge, but read really fast, and they're fun. They are, in a way, a mystery, in that he'll lay out the rules, and seed a mystery about the magic system. There's enough during the story for you to figure it out as you go. If you work it out on your own (I was so proud for figuring out the earring early) you feel good, and if you don't (RE: snapping "Mist...born" is the name of the series, I should have caught that earlier /facepalm), the clues were there and you're compelled to try harder next time.
