  1. Like, an actual taxidermy, or a plush fake mole? I don't understand your school system, but this sounds like such a bizarre thing to have to make to get a better chemistry grade.
  2. I thought I'd heard on a stream him talk about considering a non-cosmere short story collection, like Arcanum Unbounded. But I'm not certain about hearing that. He certainly has enough of them to fill a little book. ***** The "Prime unpublished" things he was talking about releasing were specifically Aether of Night, White Sand (prose) and Dragonsteel. I don't think this is relevant to what the OP wants. Games Creatures Play - Charlaine Harris, and Armored - John Joseph Adams respectively. Edit: There are also two "deleted scenes" from Wheel of Time, by Brandon, that are available in the books Unfettered and Unfettered III, edited by Shawn Speakman.
  3. They said in one of the livestreams that these are planned. Edit, pretty sure it was during the first half hour of this livestream, but I don't have the timestamp. Edit edit: Oh wait, no I think it was a comment by a Dragonsteel staff in the chat, not something Brandon said. I guess they're pretty stupidly busy with the kickstarter logistical things right now, so who knows whether they'll eventuate. I really hope so.
  4. Just finished. Dang, I was right. D: Actually thought I was wrong for most of the book, but then came out at the end. Wow.
  5. Oh, I don't want to turn this into a debate. I am quite interested that we have almost completely opposite view of the same events, and both of those views are valid. And, this is an unpopular opinions thread, so if people disagree with us, well this is the right place for airing those opinions! (Edit: I probably shouldn't have posted my conflicting opinion, I just thought it was interesting that the reasons you didn't like it were the same as the reasons I did)
  6. That's exactly why I appreciated so much that Wax still gave her a chance. I'm really tired of the trope of heroes being handed perfect girlfriends.
  7. I didn't really give a trat about the Shallan/Adolin/Kaladin stuff, if Shallan had got back from the Shattered Plains and ditched Adolin, I would have been totally fine with that. But my favourite thing about Mistborn Era 2 was that Wax did not ditch Steris. When Marasi showed up, I rolled my eyes really hard. "Oh, here we go, the pretty young girl, and now Brandon's gonna have to conveniently kill off Steris or something so that Wax can have his hot bird". And I have never been happier to be proven wrong. Wax and Steris is one of my favourite fictional relationships.
  8. When I click a facebook video I'm watching, and I expect it to pause, like they do on youtube. Instead, they go fullscreen at me D:
  9. Yeah, sure. Add me.
  10. I've only listened to the first 2 chapters, so, reaction so far: Why would she kill her husband? If it's NOT her husband, but a husband-replacement murder-clone! That's all I got so far. Also, wondering whether she realised somehow after slipping and cutting herself while carving oranges. Not sure how that works, maybe she suddenly realised the murder-clone was missing a scar or injury or something? I dunno. I hope there's more to it than that, and I'm actually wrong!
  11. No, servers seem to be struggling with the load right now!
  12. Comes out tomorrowwwwwwwwwww! Excitinggggg.
  13. I'm afraid of playing video games suboptimally. So I put off the thing I do for fun, in case I do it badly.
  14. Anyone who has looked at walking robots can recognise how superb our walking ability is. It's hard enough to get a robot to walk on 3 or 4 legs, 2 is extremely challenging!
  15. Lopen is an annoying pain in the chull. There, I said it. X(
  16. The neighbours laughing loudly. Harrumph! No merriment!
  17. Chapter 32 She's touched the storming Midnight Mother. A name from ancient lore, one of the Unmade, princes of the Voidbringers. People sang about Re-Shephir in poetry and epics, describing her as a dark, beautiful figure. Should it be "princess of the Voidbringers", or is it using "princes" to describe all of the Unmade? Not sure about this.

  19. Walk without rhythm and you won't attract the worm
  20. Chapter 7 "What did he care? He intended to see his parents moved from this city anyway." Referring to Kaladin's hopes that his parents will move out of Hearthstone. Is the word "city" a mistake?
  21. I'm not 100% convinced the song is about the Stormlight Archive. Don't get me wrong, if it's about a Brandon Sanderson series, then the Stormlight Archive is absolutely the correct answer. But it could just be a cool coincidence, like Dark Side of the Moon with Wizard of Oz? I know nothing about this band, so *shrug* If you start with The Way of Kings, I'd recommend skipping the "Prelude" chapter, and then reading it afterwards - makes more sense afterwards too! It's the only real issue with the book, it kind of has three prologues, so it's hard to get into. Another good standalone work I'd recommend is the novella The Emperor's Soul. IMO Emperor's Soul and Stormlight are the best of Brandon's Cosmere works.

  23. When I click a foodnetwork.com link from google, and foodnetwork.com goes "We detect your IP address is from New Zealand. That's on the same quarter of the globe as Asia, we should offer our foodnetworkasia.com website to you instead, it doesn't have the recipe you want though". And I keep thinking it's a "do you accept cookies" popup, and clicking yes. And guess what? Turns out that if I go to foodnetworkasia.com, I get instantly redirected to the foodnetwork.com landing page anyway. D: Also the "do you accept cookies" popups. Yes, I accept all the cookies. Gah.
  24. Ooooooh! Yeah, that type of not putting a book down, yeah, that's totally understandable!
