    Opinion of the day #14: there is no better movie than The Lord of The Rings: The Return of the King - Special Extended Edition, 4k Remastered

      I have only seen half of the extended one, but I have a big argument.

      HELMS DEEP!!!!

      NOTHING BEATS HELMS DEEP!!!!!!!

      Two Towers is the best, it's a losing battle if you say otherwise.

      Good argument, but I counter you with Pelennor Fields. Everything about that battle is cinematic glory, from the Ride of the Rohirrim, to the arrival of Aragorn, to Eówyn slaying the Witch-king, everything about it works perfectly and is almost 1:1 from the books. Helms Deep, as good as it is, is not. The only reasons I rank it lower than Pelennor is because a) it's shorter and b) it's less book-accurate.

      Spoiler

      But none can compete with the Battle of the Bastards in Game of Thrones. Not even the Pelennor

    I think they denote a newer member. I've only been seeing them on people who joined around/after the site got updated.

    What's your pfp of?

    A prologue doesn't have to be super long. One of the best prologues I've ever read, A Silence of Three Parts, is less than a page. What you have now is good, and stands well on its own. That said, if you want it to be longer, add information that the reader needs before the story starts. Add lore, add description, add dialogue. Develop the story enough to grab your readers attention, but don't make it so long that they start wondering when they're going to get to the "real" story.

      that's awesome, cheese.

    I kinda feel the same way. I've only watched the first season and a chunk of the second, but I already know everything that's going to happen up until a little more than halfway through A Storm of Swords, as that's where I am in the books. Watching the last two or three episodes of season one would have been much more... not enjoyable, but it would have been more interesting and I would have kept my attention better if I had not already read A Game of Thrones.

    I need to convince my girlfriend that Harry Potter cannot, in fact, beat Rand bloody al'Thor in a fight.  Give me evidence.

    1. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Literally, everything.

      Harry Potter is some random kid.

      Rand Al'thor is the real chosen one. he has infinite powers. He's the BLOODY DRAGON FOR LIGHT'S SAKE!

      HE BEAT UP FORSAKEN!

      He can easily destroy Harry. Harry won the fight against Voldy because he was lucky and because he had plot armor.

      But it IS an unlucky number!! Because it’s more than 10!! Lift says so, and she’s always right!

    For members I follow, I used to be able to only select status updates as things I would get notifications for. Now, it's either all or nothing. A few of the people I follow are very active in the RP section, and I would rather not have several hundred notifications every time I log on in the morning. Is this just me not knowing the new site or am I not able to see only SUs as a notification?

    Ah, Nakomi. The mystery that confused everyone out of their minds every time she shows up.

    But it's normal for a book to take a long time to write. Brandon has spoiled us by releasing so many books in so little time, and we--often--expect other authors to do the same. They can't. Lord knows how little I write. There's days I get four thousand words done in a session, days I get less than a hundred, and days I'm hardly able to get a single sentence done. The creative process is hard.

    Sando is great, but he's the wild exception to the rule.

    1. Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Thaidakar the Ghostblood

      Heck yeah.

      man's a machine. We cannot expect everyone else to be like him. It's unfair the fact that other authors may feel like they have to do what he does to write well.

      Though- with Kingkiller and Game of thrones, they had quick releases for the first few, which were, apparently, quality (debatable imo for Game of Thrones, but I aint here for that argument.)

      That's mostly where it comes in. 

      Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites good finale: still waiting...

    Somewhat, but genetics also plays a part. If your parents were tall, you'll probably be tall. If your parents were short, you'll probably be short. It's "just" the way the human body works. Yep.
  25. The cheeseman
    This is also true, but it lends more to bone and tendon density, and muscle mass.
