Even worse when they say they don't have time to read and instead do the audiobook while doing other stuff like work. I would think it'd be hard to pay attention to the audio that way.

One of the stranger ones I've heard was one where my mom thought a student was putting a fake name on a test. That students name was Abc, pronounced abca. I'm one of those who will read the book and wonder if it would make a good movie or not.

Teaching the chasm fiends sounds easier. This will be out of left field: Would you rather have gas (farts and burps) for the rest of your life or have every moment be like a musical (think Once More with Feeling from Buffy or the musical episode from Once Upon a Time)?

Here's one: when you're reading someone's name and they get mad and pronounce it in a way that makes you wonder how the heck did they get that pronunciation out of that!??! Have a teacher at one of our campuses whose last name is Goos. Seems simple right? Wrong! It's pronounced like ghost without the t. Then there's another whose first name is Bernice. It's a pretty easy one but she claims it's pronounced like furnace with a b sound instead of an f sound.

You nailed Eragon exactly. I was about the same age as him when the books started but by the time of the last he didn't seem to become a better person, heck Rand al'Thor went batshit insane and still became a better person afterwards! I only read the later half of the series for Nasuada, Roran and the other characters that weren't Eragon and Arya. I tried to think of something intelligent they have said but I didn't want to completely melt my brain, just smoke. They're famous for the same reason Paris Hilton was famous... well it was first because of Rob Kardashian for the O J Simpson trial and then later on Kris marrying Bruce Jenner. Heck me and my girlfriend had gotten into a talk about them once and came to the conclusion we would love to see a horror movie where they are being stalked by a killer and they all get slaughtered.

Brandon's new writing schedule, announced on his blog
Draginon replied to Unknowingly's topic in General Brandon Discussion
I don't mind the schedule since it gives me a chance to catch up on everything. Who knows, the unknown novella could be Cosmere related and the Rithmatist 2 spot could be replaced with Cosmere so we have 1-3 (1-4 if you count White Sand Volume 3) to look forward to before Stormlight 4. I just hope the non-Cosmere collection comes out somewhere in here since I want to read Legion and copies are hard to find. I think he's trying to go the route of having things written in advance in order to 'have more time' writing Stormlight 4 so he's probably delaying everything on purpose since he's got all of 2019 booked for that and I'd rather he delay than have a dry period.- 12 replies

People who doesn't like Brandons books
Draginon replied to Toaster Retribution's topic in General Brandon Discussion
XD Maybe I've been desensitized to it but some swearing is part of fantasy. The violence gets more of a reaction, just a wide eyed look of "what???" while the language doesn't get me unless it's very strong, like Dorothy Must Die used very strong language that I wasn't expecting in a YA fantasy story. As for the topic at hand, I haven't met anyone like that yet. -
Random Stuff X: Something Weird
Draginon replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
People are being crazy with the gas stations. It's like the zombie apocalypse happened with the lineup of cars which are going at least a block long. I filled mine up the day before but my mom needed to fill hers up and had to wait in line at Walmart -
What would happen if we put bread in you?

It's more on how they annoy me with some parts of their actions (Rand going crazy later on, Lan's "you don't deserve me" towards Nynaeve before they get married, and I like Tuon except for the fact that she sees nothing wrong with enslaving all Aes Sedai!) One of the worst with him was thousands of people die, no big deal, one elf dies, OMFG!!! Arya is her name. I like her well enough until the end when she suddenly falls in love with him almost out of the blue.

Random Stuff X: Something Weird
Draginon replied to marsoupial's topic in Forum Games & Random Stuff
Okay, I'm a big Disney and Lego fan but this is crap. Disney is getting in a hissy fit over Lego releasing photos of the new Star Wars sets to retailers to put on their websites and when people are reviewing them Disney is making Lego take legal action against the reviewers. -
That puts Kanye's 2009 quote on a different meaning "Mother let you finish..."

Trying to figure out if characters that you sometimes hate, sometimes love should count. Ones that meet that criteria are: Zelena (Once Upon a Time), sometimes I really love this gal but other times she makes me want to strangle her for her stupidity Belle (Once Upon a Time), how many times has she broken up and forgiven Rumple during the whole of six seasons? Egwene, Rand, Lan, Tuon Snape (Harry Potter), there are times where he is awesome, like denying Umbridge some truth serum, but then you remember him being a dick to his students, selling out the Potters because of a school grudge and ousting Lupin Other characters I hate: Rumplestiltskin (Once Upon a Time), How many redemptions can one person pull??? Eragon, I liked him at the beginning but by the end I was so annoyed with his attitude and his placing elves on a pedestal.
-
Make that a +2 on Zane. I'm only halfway through WOA and he doesn't work for me, especially with his fixation on Vin and trying to make her leave Elend. If it's who I'm thinking of I tried to shank him in the Telltale Games version. Ramsay Snow I think his name was.

Listening to some ASMR. So relaxing. My girlfriend doesn't get the appeal of it since she doesn't get the tingles.

Are there any characters, celebrities can be included, that you hate? It can be because they're meant to be hated, annoying, gets on your nerves or even ones where you just don't get their appeal. Heres my list: Dolores Umbridge (Harry Potter), I don't think there's much to say, she's a sadistic slontze! Snow Villiers (Final Fantasy XIII), he annoys me with his hero attitude more than anything Straff Venture (Mistborn), he's a bastard! Poe Dameron (Star Wars Sequel trilogy), he gets on my nerves so much and I just don't understand why everyone likes him so much. I liked Jar Jar more than this guy! Kanye West, he's a douchebag and nothing great ever comes out of his mouth. His wife ain't much better by defending everything he does.

I once had a copy of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None get drenched by a bottle of water. Pretty much I was helping my mom during the summer back when I was still in school and had put the book in her bag for convenience, she didn't properly seal the water she was deinking before putting that in the bag. Managed to dry it out, but it's still stiff from the moisture exposure and drying process.

It'd be almost hilarious if after all the work Khriss did doing her essays on the magic systems only for her to somehow be completely wrong about every single one!

What are you playing right now?
Draginon replied to Link Von Kelsier Harvey's topic in Entertainment Discussion
I've done a couple replays before, I just want to do a refresh before going into the sequels since my last save was 12/27/13! I love these characters enough to get through the corridor slog. The only problems I ever have is the second fight against Superpope and Vanille's eidolon. I'm also going to try getting as much of the post game finished before going into XIII-2, but I'm not going to attempt to fight the super bosses for a hundred battles since I don't have the patience for that. -

I've decided to wait on finishing Lego Dimensions until the final 5 packs come out in a couple weeks so I'm starting a replay of Final Fantasy XIII -
He's going to need a different family to use as a threat at this rate. Also Jon can be put as maybe since isn't it supposed to be ambiguous at this point if he's dead or not?
