  1. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-11-22/u-k-commits-to-align-with-eu-rules-on-trade-of-goods-doc There's also a video going around with Albanians burning Serbian products, which our politicians are comparing to nazis burning books.
  2. I would go for the refurbished asus tbh, those specs are really tempting for that price.
  3. Kosovo’s bid to join Interpol fails, in victory for Serbia Which is funny considering all the things they did to make it happen. From passing the motion to a vote, which was against the rules, to Mary Rodriguez (American) taking over the key part of the conference, which was not her duty, where she "answered" the complaints of the members, to there being 2 votes on the same motion with a pause between them.
  4. What happened with ryzen mobile? Did it not meet expectations?
  5. I would have agreed had I not seen the video Fergus made when launching the KS for PoE.
  6. How they spin the BS, better to have not made a video announcement at all. Same goes for Obs.
  7. I was expecting the video to end with them thanking the KickStarters for making this happen, followed by the "So long suckers".
  8. ^ This is a step in the right direction. They need to make the game more challenging instead of it just being a city painter.
  9. Uh, I don't think George Lucas has money problems.
  10. I like Hellboy 2, like TrueNeutral said there were some beautiful shots in the movie and the story was ok (I mean it wasn't like the first one was a masterpiece).
  11. I agree, the smart thing would be to use the newfound fame and release more books. But I wouldn't be surprised if he sold the translation rights for all his future works for a lump sum too.
  12. What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? Stay tuned and find out.
  13. https://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/9kxeb8/cd_project_red_is_getting_sued_by_the_author_of/e743lm3/ Here's Brandon Sanderson's "take" on the Witcher royalties debacle.
  14. This game definitely needs optimization and quality of life updates.
  15. Finished the Foundation series, not including the prequels. Great series, still not sure on the "ending". He left a hook at the end but he never wrote a sequel. Other than that a great science fiction series and I now fully understand why they call him a pioneer of that genre.
  16. I read the story when I was fairly young, I don't know how I would feel about it now. Although I doubt I will come back to try it again. Funnily enough I never liked either of those and that was when I was actively watching TV. Nowadays I don't like TV altogether.
  17. I disliked it and dropped it a third of a way through. Maybe I'll give it a shot another time. It's a horrible affair, as far as I hear she comes in to the story in the later books and he doesn't really redeem himself. Can't remember if he got her pregnant or not, but I know I was even gladder for having dropped it.
  18. Do you roll for attributes in character creation like in D&D?
  19. For me it was Wheel of Time. To her credit she did mange to get a strong emotion out of me and the writing is not bad, but the protagonist was unredimable for me by the end of it. The only protagonist that was worse was in the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, that book I simply dropped. Dumai Wells battle is the most famous scene, but now that you mention gates, a scene that always gave me goose bumps is when he lost control of the power to Lews Therin and killed a Trolloc army by himself with Death Gates and Fire Blossoms. I wonder if we will ever see it translated to another media. I know that there was talk about Amazon doing a TV show, but I still think animation would be a much better media for it.
  20. The only book/series I ever hated is Robin Hobb's. I read the first trilogy and I was so pissed off at my self for not dropping it after book 1. The main character is so unlikable for me, I was hoping that he would redeem him self by the end of it... Well his wife was his editor, so that could have been it. I don't know, while I do agree that the books could have been slimmer, I didn't mind slogging through mud to reach the pearls. I agree that Sanderson did a good job, Mat's POV notwithstanding, but the last battle would have been so much more epic had Jordan had the chance to write it. I still haven't come across a book/series that has battles/action scenes as...well...EPIC. You should give Sanderson's Stormlight Archive a read, it's pretty good.
