  1. That is true, I was thinking more my personal connotative definitions. I'm half Japanese so I grew up with the knowledge that if you want sushi with raw fish you order it with sashimi. Even then, sushi in America (where I live) rarely has raw fish (unless you buy it from an Japanese restaurant), so it still stands that people should not judge sushi on a basis of raw fish.
  2. Let me just start this by saying that there may be spoilers in the following. So I was thinking about the Mistborn video game that was canceled and it got me thinking, what kinds of video games would be the best for the different Cosmere worlds. I was talking with my brother-in-law (also the one who got me hooked on BS) about this and we came up with what we think are some great ideas. Stormlight Archive: Real Time Strategy (RTS), (Starcraft, The original Warcraft, most of the Command and Conquer games.) The Stormlight Archive lends itself to the RTS format very well, with the ability to have many different teams that all play very differently: Alethkar, Parshendi/Listeners, Ghostbloods, The followers of the Diagram, and more. All of these teams would have their heroes, such as Radiants, and Fused. They would also all play very differently, creating very different strategy's and lending themselves to different peoples play styles, for example: The Parshendi could have the ability to change the "forms" of all their units giving them the ability to go from having hundreds of workers to hundreds of soldiers. There would also be the ability to have vastly different maps ranging from the Shattered Plains to the Purelakes. Each of these locations could influence the game in a verity of ways. Mistborn: Third-Person Role Playing Game (RPG), (Assassins Creed, Tomb Raider,) We considered making this an MMO, the problem with this is that there would be far too many mistborns running around. The only way to limit this would be to limit people to mistings, but we felt that would be far less interesting given the universe. So our solution, a story driven RPG. We didn't really talk much about the mechanics of the game or how the ability of the metals would manifest in the game, but we think it's the best fit. Reckoners: Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMO), (World of Warcraft) I know this isn't Cosmere, but It is still a great idea. We were thinking about which of BS series would work the best as an MMO, the problem is that given the way most of his worlds works, there would be way too many magic users around, be they Mistborn, Radiants, or otherwise. Then we though about The Reckoners as an MMO, there wouldn't be hundreds of people with magic or superpowers. In fact the Epics would be perfect for bosses in instances and raids. I'm curious what you all think. What styles of games do you think would fit Cosmere worlds? Any thoughts on my ideas? Let discussion ensue! P.S. Alcatraz is totally an 8-bit Mario style plat-former.
  3. Okay... I'm not one to complain, but I have a pet peeve that just drives me absolutely psycho crazy insane! And you want to know what it is? It's the storming misconception about sushi! So sushi is one of those things that people either love or hate, personally I love it. What bugs me is the misconception/assumption that sushi has raw fish. I have constantly heard people say that they don't like sushi because they don't like raw fish. But nine times out of ten sushi doesn't even have raw fish, in fact sushi with raw fish is not even sushi! When there is raw fish it is called SASHIMI NOT SUSHI! Therefore saying you don't like sushi because you don't like raw fish is like saying you don't like apples because you don't like oranges, they're not the same thing! In conclusion: I hate it when people act like sashimi and sushi are the same thing. They are not. Also in conclusion: Sashimi is gross, sushi is amazing. (Personal opinion.)
  4. I found this topic about a week ago, since then I have read through the entire thing, I'm officially hooked, I blame you. Also #1111 is out. Also, for any of you that enjoy RPG based humor you should check this out if you haven't seen it already. The Gamers: Dorkness Rising.
  5. I have like 5 books that I am working on, some more than others. I kind of bounce around based on when I have break through's on them.
  6. I second this, I would love to be tagged as well. I have some characters from my writing that I would love to see drawn.
  7. And now for a few quotes from the best TV show ever: Gus: Shawn? What the heck are you doing here? Shawn: I should ask you the same question. Gus: I work here! Shawn: I should ask you a different question. Lassiter: So you think someone planted it in his locker? Shawn: No, I think someone put it there on purpose. Lassiter: That's what I just said. Shawn: But mine wasn't in the form of a question, so it came from a place of power. Gus: I'm not going out there. Shawn: You cannot sit here in a dark car all alone. You'll be picked up for mopery. Gus: Mopery? Shawn: With intent to creep. Trust me, you don't want that. It'll put a big hole in your future.

  9. @Oversleep 1: Should I ask you questions? 30: Why is your username Oversleep? 2: What would happen if one invested 1000 breaths into a loaf of bread, then ate said bread. 0: In the event of a zombie apocalypse what would be your first actions? 1: In the above situation, where would you choose to hide out? 8: If the apocalypse were a sentient potato apocalypse instead, would that influence your actions differently? :): Did you see what I did there? (hint, look at the numbers.)
  10. @firstRainbowRoseI've asked these questions to other people, but i'm curious. 38: In the event of a zombie apocalypse what would be your first actions? 34: In the above situation, where would you choose to hide out? 65: If the apocalypse were a sentient potato apocalypse instead, would that influence your actions differently? And now for the original ones: 43: What is your favorite TV show, and who is your favorite character from that show? 25: Toilet paper roll over or under? 82: Does it bother you that the numbers on my questions aren't in order?
  11. @The Sovereign 11: What is the meaning of the number 14? 23: Are you able to do a back-flip? 44: Do you like sushi? 13: How old is your youngest pet? 38: In the event of a zombie apocalypse what would be your first actions? 34: In the above situation, where would you choose to hide out? 65: If the apocalypse were a sentient potato apocalypse instead, would that influence your actions differently?
  12. @NamelessThirteenthFrom a fellow aspiring writer, keep at it! I struggle with time management as well so I understand where you're coming from, I'm also very easily distracted so it can be hard for me to focus on my writing. Just keep writing, you'll get there eventually. And now for my questions: 1: What is your favorite genre of writing? (fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) 2: Do you have a point of view that you prefer to write? (first person, third person, omnipotent third, etc. info about the types can be found here: https://www.nownovel.com/blog/major-narrator-types/) 3:How many books/worlds/series have you created? (This is not what you have actually put on paper, but more how many ideas for worlds/books you have.) 4: If you could genetically engineer any food to be any color, what food and what color would you do?
  13. Lightsong, if nothing else he'd keep the mood light. I would leave them, there would be no point in bringing one to life only to have them die in a year. If I had to pick one, probably someone from one of Sandersons books. Keep the questions coming people!
  14. Hurt Firefight, Heal Raoden. Nightwielder - 7 Conflux - 10 Firefight- 5 Megan - 8 David - 10 Mizzy - 10 Elend - 10 God King - 10 Gavilar - 10 Dalinar - 10 Elhokar - 10 Sebarial - 8 Raoden - 6
  15. Actually there is a difference, namely things like wind resistance, aerodynamics, weight, etc. A rock might not be harder to aim initially, but it would be much harder to predict any deviations from its path.
  16. My personal requirement is that it can't have any lyrics/vocals, I only like ringtones that are purely instrumental. I change mine relatively frequently (once or twice a year, which is rather frequent for a ringtone.) Currently it is the start of "Hot air balloon" by Owl City. It has a nice subtle start that builds later. Like @hoiditthroughthegrapevine said, it really depends on your tastes, what kind of music do you like?
  17. Obviously a really cool Sig, I mean it knows who I am, where I am, and what page i'm viewing... on second thought, that's kinda creepy. 10/10
  18. I love redundancy! It's the best way to make sure you've got something covered. Also I love redundancy!

  20. Does it have to be from a book? If not then my least favorite character of all time must be Carth Onasi from "Kights of the Old Republic" (also know as KOTOR, a old starwars video game.)

  22. Hi, and welcome to the Shard! Which of his books are your favorite so far?
  23. Hi, I’ve never read WoT but I want to eventually.
  24. Hi, welcome and can I just say, that is one of the best introductions I’ve seen. You deserve an upvote.
  25. @Herowannabe Essentially it’s a last one standing game. Each time you post you can heal one person (+1) and hurt one (-1), when a person reaches 0 they are eliminated. If you want you can pick one or two characters that you are going to try to have win. Hope that helps. Hurt Mitosis, Heal God King. 2. Nightwielder - 6 3. Regalia - 5 4. Fortuity - 6 5.
