SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 One copy would be bad, but that many is rewarding the author. Now there'll be sequels and film rights. What have you done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 ...Now there'll be sequels and film rights... (twitch) Oh dear Lord. Anyway, moving on...oh, Steam, The Blinding Knife just came out. Got my copy, haven't started it just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'll pick that up at some point but I think I'll do a David Weber catch up first. And maybe a coule of other books that have been on my list for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Not at the moment. Reading books 1 and 2 of the Gap Cycle (they came together). But it's not to my liking. The sort where I keep considering just giving up on it but then think there's not much left so I might as well finish it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I hope the two aren't linked! ---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ---------- the drunk and the 50 shades! Who know what those girls think, I would rather not know I hope they are, can't think of any other reason for someone to buy that book... they did buy it under the name S. Criid. so it wont come back to them bite them Also after being bitterly disappointed in it they all gave the books away to the witchlings, they apparently enjoy it ---------- Post added at 01:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ---------- Anything else to recommend?

Sliver Chocobo Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It actually a comic book (so is saga) It kind like super hero in Arthurian times, but there more mercenary than knights or heroes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Might have to give it a go. The only comics I've read in the last few years are Empowered and the D&D one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sliver Chocobo Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 It's good one there lots to love about each of the knights, it gets off to sow start, but more focus on establishing the knights to begin with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Frankly, the only fines Chocobo should've gotten were the mean prank to Lady Justice (look, if I'm going to turn her into an eternal warrior with the power of a Desolation Engine and the never-aging youth of Molly, I need her in pristine condition) and the copies of 50 Shades of Terrible Fanfiction. Beyond that, eh, no permanent damage. New Song of Blades and Heroes is out- the revision clears things up and adds a few nice rules. Shooters can be good at shooting and mediocre in melee and it doesn't clog the fast play nature of the game now On a more random note, I have a gamer peeve: I hate it when people mispronounce "melee" and "cavalry." Melee is not "mealy" and Calvary is where Jesus was crucified if I remember right. I used to remind myself that it's cavalier, not calvalier, thus "cavalry" and not "calvary." It makes people sound dumber than they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 I'll second both demon knights and saga, both are good reads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oops. No skynet this week then! How's things otherwise, Ed? I've had a crap day at work but a fairly decent evening relaxing. Got absolutely nothing done, and it felt great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Oh, not too bad. Introduced Isabella again in my novel. Funny (and disturbing) how easily I was able to get back to writing my lovely sociopath. :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 (edited) Ah, but sociopaths (and most other nutters) are so much fun to write!

Mako Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 I'm not sure what mine gets up to back there, but it makes a terrible mess that needs clearing up every so often. I probably shouldn't let Sophie tease it to amuse herself... I can't believe it's so late already. The only consolation is that the rest of this week will be quite slow at work after today's pathetic fail of an experiment. And being required to go on a laser safety course before they let me on the machine we need again. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Laser safety course probably sounds more exciting then it actually is right.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Aye, the guy that told us we had to take it said it was really dull, even for a safety training course! I mean, how hard can it be? - don't shine it in your eyes - don't shine it in anyone else's eyes - don't do anything that will bounce it off shiny surfaces into any of the aforementioned eyes The end.

SteamHammer Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Are they nice? Still no sign of mine but I did assemble original Misaki and avatar Kirai (still needs a bit of green stuff) the other day. Hopefully get some painting done tonight.

Mister Monkey Posted September 20, 2012 Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Yeah they are, go together nicely ( you do have to be careful as to what is sprue and what is a tag to pin pieces though ) Got to try to figure out how to base them now.... How is the paintathon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
