I'm thinking it'll be either a lead in/set up hybrid thing as they're different broadcasting channels methinks, unless I remember that wrongly. It would be interesting if they instead go with a generic space-theme I.e S.W.O.R.D but I'm hoping for Inhumans more

I just thought Mace was just a clumsy character to begin with, a fact I actually like about him. He's a stand up guy that is just in a little over his head due to happenstance and is trying to keep up and actually be an addition to the team.

Cannot wait...Inhumans Hyyyyyype!

If you could have any super power, what would it be?
ParadoxicalZen replied to Tesh's topic in General Discussion
Teleportation. Elemental mancery. Or, to praise my Queen Liliana Vess; Necromancy but White-Black/maybe Blue Aligned, or even WUBRG if you're fans of MTG -
Oh yeah, my exact thoughts entirely. Ninty did a real number on me with this game.

Are BioChroma and Stormlight the same or similar?
ParadoxicalZen replied to Tate's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I take that to mean Investiture as whole is still Investiture, especially with the Location part (meaning, it is has still has most of the general properties of Investiture regardless of flavour), which would relate back to it's Spiritual Ideal. I was just thinking more along the lines of I = Adonalsium whereas Shard = i+H (insert any other example Shard here) -
Are BioChroma and Stormlight the same or similar?
ParadoxicalZen replied to Tate's topic in Cosmere Discussion
I would both agree and disagree on that Investiture is Investiture point. We could speculate that; when Adonalsium was whole, Investiture was Investiture but when it/he/she/they were split into the 16 Shards, the Investiture became...flavoured with the different Intents/Mandates/Characteristics/Properties/Traits we now know, as demonstrated by certain characters becoming more Connected to certain Shards through certain actions and objects. However, given each Shardworld has a different Focus, it is highly possible given each Shard's I/M/C/P/T would interact a little differently with the world, either possibly creating an entirely new magic system, or altering the current one so it may operate a little differently. Not to mention, both BioChroma and Stormlight are gaseous forms of the respective Investitures, so they're similar in that regard. The main thing when it comes to NB, but more importantly, Returned is; how much of the native Investiture is present (if they've worldhopped); what form it is in; and how accessible it is, as they need it to live whereas NB just likes to omnomnom. It would be interesting to see if a Returned is or can be affected by the flavour of the Investiture they consume (probably not unless they can hack it to power some form of magic) and if they are either more resistant or liable to certain I/M/C/P/T and what Investiture matter states are best for consuming investiture. -
Brent Weeks, The Lightbringer Series
ParadoxicalZen replied to Catalyst21's topic in Entertainment Discussion
Just finished about 1-2hours ago. Was strange how quickly i devoured it. For me, great book overall, but i agree on the points others have raised. I feel a better cliffhanger would have been for Kip to discover what was wrong as the lovemaking scene was great but hardly a good place to leave it. I believe the Gavin hallucination twist was fairly explained as there was hints but i never saw it coming. I like the humanising of Andross in those moments and actually have a hate-to-love appreciation of the character. I'm keen to see how Teia and Dazen's scenes play out, and how exactly Weeks plans to finish this series, as he isn't one for highly detailed, in-depth backstory in regards to magic laws (which the Night Angel series also lacks) -

I'll be most likely be in Adelaide or Darwin around said time! -
If you have the gear, and know where the locations of the Talus'/Talii/Talae, hunt them down and cash in on the gems. You'll be so loaded that arrows from the shops will be nothing to you

[OB] Could the black Sphere have been a Dawnshard?
ParadoxicalZen replied to Unhinged's topic in Stormlight Archive
I'm of the opinion it is one, but it's of a one time/limited use thing. Perhaps if something is already bound, it loses its luster -
The TV series, been ages since I watched so my memory of it's music is a bit foggy

Haha, essentially; there is never a creature more perplexing and confusing to a man, than a woman -
The Official Thread of Relationships
ParadoxicalZen replied to Curious Anamaximder's topic in General Discussion
Let's just say after an Addams family values reference, the subject went to a place that would be unseemly for this forum..if you catch my drift. So I'm still left reeling by how quickly the conversation escalated (not that I mindit, quite the contrary, I just wasn't expecting it.) I think, to sum it up nicely, from our previous exchange, she quoted Washington Irving with a Legend of Sleepy Hollow passage: "All these, however, were mere terrors of the night, phantoms of the mind that walk in darkness; and though he had seen many spectres in his time, and been more than once beset by Satan in divers shapes, in his lonely perambulations, yet daylight put an end to all these evils; and he would have passed a pleasant life of it, in despite of the Devil and all his works, if his path had not been crossed by a being that causes more perplexity to mortal man than ghosts, goblins, and the whole race of witches put together, and that was—a woman." I for one, have been done a heckin bamboozle fren, and I really want to know more -

Me x too please @Delightfully Smoak ! I just had a kind of poetic kind of flirt off with a old friend of a friend that started off as a comment on astrology that escalated into....I don't know exactly what Only Con; she's in new York, I'm currently Melbourne and I haven't seen her in years...I don't know what to think -

Elantris was created long before the Arelene people arrived on the shores, as per the History of Aons WoBs...however given how old this information is, it is possible Brandon may have tweaked this. Its on my list of questions for further info

I can't remember if it was done before the guide came out or not. Either way, doing it with help is nowhere near as bad as finding them without one. Half of the places you wouldn't dream of unless you were there by happenstance
