Silus - Shard of Flame

"Hey guys, watch this!" The four words most likely to lead to disaster.

@Chaos Mountain Dew @zas Jelly Metroid or Zelda?

But he's read Machievelli!

Is this any of you?

River Looking around the room you easily spot Piscun standing on the protruding balcony, where he has been since the matches started. But looking around also reveals something else: the bronze pulse silhouette, floating near the ceiling. Jay'el Thomas is already in the arena when you get there. He's a lanky fellow with dark eyes and a bored expression. He wears garb typical to the nomads who live just south of the Machine Desert. "Prepare yourselves!" says Jezebel, who stands on a balcony similar to the one in the Waterfall room. "On your mark!" You start to shift into your Engineer Form, and he starts shifting as well. "Get set!" The light starts to fade. "GO!" As soon as your computers come online, something seems to hit you, like a ripple in the air. Your electronics go berserk, frying themselves and sparking like crazy until they just shut off completely. Your shields are down and your equipment is useless. Your opponent is grinning. His Form is a Warrior, common as grass when it comes to Formspheres, but with your equipment useless it might as well be a Special Form. Eerongal You see a woman across from you. She's young, no older than twenty, and she wears red. The style shows her allegiance to the Furies, a mercenary group with a nasty reputation. But she doesn't fit the normal profile. Too young, and not really dangerous looking. There many unanswered questions around her.

Finished HoA last night, my first reread. SO GOOD. Now I'm starting Elantris. Gonna read the annotations alongside this time instead of after the book. This is also my first reread. Now I'll be able to see all the Cosmere stuff! Not sure if I'm gonna finish Silverheart. I'm just not getting into it. The characters don't really draw me in. I also read Bossypants by Tina Fey. Not my usual stuff but I'd great things about it and I read the back cover and inside flap while shelving holds at the library and I was cracking up so I put it on hold. I ended up really liking it, just a funny read. It wasn't really an interesting book, but fun.

I haven't heard of it, what is it? Is it a book? Your description sounds like a book.

I have a problem with my cursor, when I log out of my desktop and back in after using the cursor, it goes back to the default and I have to manually set it up again. It's probably something on my computer but I can't figure out what. Help?

The problem I have with that is that Mistborn isn't the technical name (Allomancer) where Feruchemist is. If you follow the same pattern it would be something related to Keeper, wouldn't it?

It's kind of funny. The first one I heard of was WoT, a friend-of-a-friend recommended it to me but I never picked it up, but a few months later a friend of mine recommended Mistborn. That time I DID pick it up and LOVED it. I didn't make the connection of the guy that friend-of-a-friend mentioned would be finishing WoT and Brandon until later. But yeah, Brandon first.

On the Gold healing versus a bullet to the head topic. I was rereading HoA yesterday (and finished, it was awesome as usual) and when Vin fights Marsh at Fadrex, she duralumin Pushes her earring through Marsh's skull. Which would effectively be like being shot in the head. And his healing power from feruchemical gold keeps him alive. So in some form or another, feruchemical gold can heal a bullet wound to the head.

I can't think of a concrete reason for it, but I just liked Marci more.

Darnit, Ferring sounds weird, I like Chemist better. And we're using it in Nexus! *sigh*

Windrunning. Console, the installation process on a PC likes to drive me insane, especially with some of the DRM that companies use. Axe or sword?

I'm not sure I followed that one. Still processing.

You guys better shape up or Lightning will punch you out.

Hey, Miyabi! We've made good use of the Announcement topic you started!

Goshdarnit, I get the most mundane one. Off campus, I guess? Twinborn or Kandra?

Waterfall Cavern River and Peter exit the arena, and Piscun speaks. "The next competitors will be Darla and Eerongal. Please make your way to the arena as soon as possible." Glyph Cavern Dan is carried away to the infirmary and Flip leaves the arena, rejoining his group, who boisterously discuss the match. "Our next match is between Jay'el and Thomas McGee. Report to the arena so we may begin!"

Warrior, Gunner, Thief, Black and White Mages, Summoner, Spectre, Misting and Chemist make up the bulk of the common Forms.

Not any Form, but he could be reasonably familiar with the range of common Forms. It really depends on how well versed his teacher is.

How has Magneto not conquered the world yet, with a power like that?

Remember that TLR was nearly decapitated at one point, and he was able to use the Gold/Gold trick to heal himself. It might be along those lines.

But we're nowhere NEAR Transylvania!

A NERDFIGHTER! Welcome! (if you can find the video where there's a picture of me in it, then there's something wrong with you) I'm Silus, I'm here a lot. We're pretty good about religion, but I don't know the official stance on it for the forum right off the top of my head.
