"The blade brush sprayed a wave of black liquid as Vasher scrubbed with it. The liquid dissolved into smoke before touching walls or floor, like water in an oven. Smoke twisted, some rising from the brush, some falling in a stream to the floor, dripping like black blood. "'SCRUB!' Nightbrush’s voice boomed in his head. 'The floors must be SCRUBBED!' Pain shot up Vasher’s arm, and he felt his Breath being leached away, sucked into the brush, fueling its hunger. Using the brush had a terrible cost. At that moment, he didn't really care. He crawled toward the stains and—enraged—scrubbed them. "Each stain he scrubbed with the brush immediately flashed and became smoke. A single sweep and the stains dissolved like paper being consumed by an invisible fire. Vasher crawled among them, scrubbing with wrath, cleaning stain after stain. Black smoke churned around him, and his arm twisted with pain as veinlike tendrils climbed up the brush and around his forearm—like black blood vessels that latched on to his skin, feeding off his Breath. "He cried out, arm shaking. 'SCRUB . . . FLOORS . . .' Nightbrush said in his mind, all lightness gone from the tone, all familiarity. It boomed like a command. An awful, inhuman thing. The longer Vasher held the brush, the faster it drained his Breath. "'SCRUB... FLOORS!'" __________________________________ Fear it.

Oh yeah! Pokemon Gold Version. Played that as a 6-year old. Had a level 82 Feraligatr and nothing else. I Loved it, and still do (except now I have to play the remakes because of the internal clocks thing) The Angel/Castle people. The troops there had the most survivability (though the necropolis was fun once you upgraded your hero to turn dead enemies into liches instead of skeletons. Liches OP)

Ha! I'm actually half convinced right now that Kaladin is going to end up marrying Jasnah, take the Kholin name, and make for a nice, sappy, everyone's-related-to-each-other style ending, a la The Importance of Being Ernest or something (they'd make an odd pair, being pretty much the two least affectionate characters in the books so far, but it could work)

When I saw that on the AMA, I immediately assumed he meant her name was Thaylen. Aslydin. Look at all those consonants squished together. It even uses a "y" as a stand-in vowel, which seems like a trademark Thaylen thing to me (I imagine in the names that the "y" is pronounced "yuh", like Artmyrn is "Art-myuh-rn" and Rysn is "Ryeh-sn")

While I've never read WoK Prime, I'm pretty sure Moash is based off of Merin.

Exactly.

Speaking of which, I think that the Purelake guy... Ishikk, said that when the worldhoppers were talking to Thinker, he thought they called him "Temoo", which probably means the actual pronunciation of the end of the name is "oo" and not "oh"

Hmm... I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that for the Elantris names, the Aonic part is pronounced literally, while the other syllables are pronounced with minimal emphasis on the vowel sound (So Raoden is Ray-oh-dn, Sarene is Sr-ay-nay, Kiin is Kiy-yine, Roial is Rw-iye-al, and so on) By the way, how many Saw-zed's do we have in the room?

A significant thing to note, I think, is that Syl is absent both times Kaladin meets Hoid.

Awesome! The audio wasn't wokring on my computer for some reason... Okay. That is really interesting. We actually have all the info we need to guess why Vin fled from Hoid?

Well, I would suggest you move him onto Way of Kings or Sixth of the Dusk. Stat.

About 20 people introduced? Way to spread the word!

Hooray! Someone grab some confetti!

Have any pictures of the final product?

Man, this thread digressed a while ago. Anyway, on a WoR reread, I may have noticed the Bondmiths' "thing". They have an innate sense of trust for honorable people/Radiants. Okay, I can hear your laughter, but slow down. I know that Dalinar's "Radiantdar" is not the best (regarding Sadeas and Amaram), but the reason why I think this is a thing is because of his trust of Kaladin. There are several points in Words of Radiance where Dalinar asks himself why he trusts the guy so much, and he always just settles on the fact that there's some sort of overwhelming rightness that he can't explain to it.

Yeah, but they killed their spren. They did something so bad (from the spren's perspective) that many modern spren in Shadesmar are refusing to send new ones to be bonded before the desolation out of fear, hatred, and distrust. By the way, the cause of the recreance was not situational, either, like as if their leaders got killed or something. The encrypted epigram from The Diagram ("HOLD THE SECRET THAT BROKE THE KNIGHTS RADIANT. YOU MAY NEED IT TO DESTROY THE NEW ORDERS WHEN THEY RETURN") implies that there was an actual secret which, when uncovered, caused the Radiants to break their oaths. A "Wicked thing of eminence", if you will. I would guess that the secret pertains to the nature of the Nahel Bond itself. Something that it does to the spren or human as it progresses. Kaladin has noted that the physical shape of Syl's face changes , sometimes, and the way these incidents are brushed aside makes me suspicious. Also note that Hoid has never met Syl. They seem to have been avoiding one another. The time that Hoid meets Kaladin in WoK is one of only a handful of times when Syl isn't with him. Similar with WoR.

I felt the same way. Well of Ascension is, without a doubt, the slowest novel in the Cosmere, and the characters are very... self-focused. It wasn't until after I finished the series that I actually went back and decided that that book was OK If you liked "Conflicted Vin", you'll love "Depressed Sazed" Though at least Hero of Ages has the Spook subplot to liven things up.

Batman Begins? The Dark Knight Rises?

Dang. Way too easy. Anyway, Return of the Jedi is correct.

A powerful crime lord is murdered as he attends the execution of one of his former smugglers.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off. EDIT: Yeah, I just Wikapedia'd it to double-check. You were talking about Mathew Broderick, right?

Gleeman is correct!

Hint: his "traffic violation" is speeding.

Sweet! Um... Let's see... A traffic violator gets hit by a car and saves his boss from terrorists.
