Silus - Shard of Flame

Yeah.

YES! I love everything about that post! 20 AWESOME POINTS!

I guess that's a sign that you shouldn't get any more!

"Thoughtful Reflections" from the soundtrack of Beyond Good and Evil, which is, by the way, FANTASTIC.

Puck and CrazyRioter get 10 AWESOME POINTS each. That was great.

My scheme is working perfectly...yes...

Roshar seems to be around the size of North America, if not larger I'd say. The Highstorms are THAT BIG.

Link, leinton, Feather and Endra each get 10 AWESOME POINTS for making me literally laugh out loud.

for wacky Nazis It's not a pun, it's a storyline based on a pun.

I'd say that the Old Magic, with its boons and curses, fits pretty well with Cultivation. Think about it, cultivating something means helping it grow. How do you do that? You give it something to help it grow and take away things that would tear it down or at least are unnecessary/cause it to grow in a way you don't want it to. From what instances we can confirm, those who saw the Old Magic ended up doing well despite their curses. Those who haven't? Well, they didn't end up growing the way they were intended to. Does that make sense?

Not sure what to make of this. There's bits and pieces that makes sense, but I'm not agreeing with the overall sense of it. Not going to go into it here, will probably write up my own thread with my take on this concept.

Ha! CrazyRioter gets 10 AWESOME POINTS!

He's probably referring to how they fit neatly into the Physical, Mental and Spiritual Realms. One other thing I noticed though. Omi has the power to get rid of negative emotions like hate. No wonder Odium (if Rayse is Odium) wanted to destroy that!

So many portals!

Can you think of something that wouldn't piss off Odium to some degree? Is it even physically possible for him?

You're assuming that Brandon HAS a conscience. LOL

This has been my thinking, though the general assumption has been that Odium is Rayse. I just love the idea of them taking down Odium and being all "Alright, Rayse, the jig is up!" "What? I'm not Rayse."

Beg Brandon for epigraphs?

Ambrosius The bum scrambles up and scurries off. Eerongal The merchants ears perk up and his smile once again broadens, lending to the idea that this man might have an elastic face. "The Tournament. A popular topic, but unfortunately one that really doesn't have a lot of actual facts about it. Lots of rumors, though. 'It's a hoax, a trap, a scam.' Whatever it is, it's real, that much I can tell you. If anyone knows anything about it, really, they're not talking. "Destron is a strange man, but a powerful one. He's pretty close to being the unchallenged ruler of this city, except for the Owl. Another Spheremorph boss. No one's sure why they're the ones who run things, but my gut, and few specific sources, tell me they've got Special Forms, both of them. Destron has more of the other Spheremorphs backing him, but the Owl has more experience, could probably wipe the floor with him mano-a-mano. So it's a sort of stalemate. But I'd wager every scrap of currency I've got, from the fivers to the prisms, that they're desperately looking for an edge. Something, anything, to tip the balance of power "Cross on a hill? There's probably a lot of those, what with all the casualties that caravans have out there. But I take it you're looking for something more distinctive. I do know of a large monument of some type a few miles north of the bridge and a mile or two away from the river's edge. That might be what you're looking for." You smell the bum before you see him. He rushes over to you, slightly hunched, and raps on your armor. "You Eerongal?" The merchant's smile vanishes, thankfully, narrowing into a look of distaste. He doesn't comment, but gives you an expectant look, glancing at your coin bag.

What's funny is that you're on AIM as I read this. XP

I KNOW RIGHT!? Beat me to the punch.

Gasp! Now we know how I shattered! BREAKTHROUGH! 5 AWESOME POINTS to Joe for awesome puns.

Addicted after only five points. I must give my chemist a raise. MWAHAHAHA!

Got the Arrival and Overlord DLC packs for Mass Effect 2. Already played through them. Arrival was okay, I guess, felt a little...bland. There were only like two moments were I was at all surprised. Overlord was FANTASTIC though. Atmosphere out the wazoo. The part with the abandoned Geth Ship made me fell like I was playing Bioshock again, it had that kind of OHMYGOSHI'MGONNADIE feel to it.

What, you didn't see the interview? Guess they didn't put it in the article. I groaned aloud when I started reading. Even after getting hit a couple of times today, it still took me a bit to figure it out.
