You work for Rockstar?

^ This is a step in the right direction. They need to make the game more challenging instead of it just being a city painter.

Uh, I don't think George Lucas has money problems.

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).

Write new things.

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.

Pathfinder Kingmaker is bigger then Deadfire

This game definitely needs optimization and quality of life updates. -
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.

Do you roll for attributes in character creation like in D&D? -
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.

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.

^The irony. Whoopsy daisy.... But, but, but they will sell those finished games and surly use those profits to pay the poor workers.

This thread was consistently one of the top threads in this forum, before sonic was even a part of this forum, it needs no help. Either way I have said my piece and will not bother any longer. As Fenixp's has already showed there are ways to deal with this, but I would rather not.

Do the female generals have boobplate? Maybe it's because of that.

I really haven't come across other writers that I read that behaved like that. I don't really mind authors who are "jerks", but the self entitled ones do get on my nerves I mean you have Brandon Sanderson who writes high/good quality material consistently. There are also other but not to that degree. Then you have Martin, but I don't really care about him as I dumped his series after book 1 (book 2 was a slog for me and I quit 1/4 of a way through).

Dude it's annoying. Your are just spamming videos that you mostly have no interest in. I know that you are not breaking rules, but do you see any other poster spamming 4-5 posts in a row with videos. If I want to see every video that comes out for games, I'll go to a dedicated gaming "news" site. I mean post things you care about and see if anyone responds, don't just carpet bomb a thread with videos fishing for a reply or to boost your post count...

Almost finished the Foundation series, not including the prequels, and I have to say it's pretty much the greatest sci-fi series/book I have read (I don't read much sci-fi). You have to look at Dune at the period of time it was written, it was a pioneer. That said I couldn't get past book 3 or 4 (I don't remember which one was about the worm emperor). edit: and screw Rothfuss, I'm debating whether or not to even read the 3rd book when/if it comes out. Had he remained quiet and not responded regarding it, I would have been peeved, but I would have waited. He had to open his big mouth, I understand that he may be frustrated by everyone asking about the next book, but he came across as such an entitled prick and an ****...

That was a conscious decision on Obs part, they wanted for there to be no bad builds, as you probably remember, and so they settled for it being bland.
