Re: Eldest 2 released today

I just finished Eldest and it is a worthy sequel to Eragon, although only half the book was about Eragon himself.

Re: Chapter 16 is done.

Any reason why? Well, I can't comment on the technical side, where I couldn't tell the difference between a bulletin board and an IRC server, but I have had a lot of bad experiences with phpbb. The, um, user interface is confusing and misdirecting. For example: On all the styles I've some across (t...

Re: Chapter 16 is done.

NOT phpbb. From a forum user perspective its awful. Stay away from it. Don't thouch it with anything less than a 4 meter long stick, and that just to make sure it's dead.


As for the chapter. Grrr ;D rreat!

Great chapter, you've got me praying for the next one.

Re: 200 registered members

Hilarious. I work in the statistical field and it's funny how not many people turn a calloused eye on statistics. They just believe it like it's God's Word. Bravo for you.
Yeah, you know the guy that drowned in a stream with an average depth of three inches.  ;)

Re: Good Books (Scifi)

Michael Scott Rohan's winter fo the world is a trilogy? But what about "Castle of the winds" and "The singer and the sea"? What are they? I haven't read the series but i looked at it in the store an there were five books.

Re: Good Books (Scifi)

In one of the collections (can't remember which) there is a shortstory about Harrington as midshipwoman straight out of the academy which takes place before the main series, but Basilisk Station is a good place to start.

Re: Anyone know a Martial Art?

These days I am practicing WESTERN swordmanship. Shortsword, Longsword, and such. I consider most of japanese swordmanship to be rather useless and flashy. Especially since Katana slices very badly (yes, this is true - don't believe those Kung Fu movies. Unless they're using something else than Kat...

Re: Anyone know a Martial Art?

I've done a lot of pieces here and there. About a year of karate but I didn't really like it. A little less kendo, but I'd rather do kenjutsu, kendo is so ritualized, but kenjutsu then again is harder to find a trainer in. I have nine years of aikido under my belt, but sadly my schedule put a stop t...

Re: Terry Goodkind book

MD Many people have give up reading Goodkinds series after the first or second book, which is a pity since the it takes a drastic turn fore the better after that. You should not take the first book as an indication of what the series is like, it is an exception, not the norm. Miser What if the audie...

Re: Gating Question

  Umm...   Everything is clear now...   Except... *deep breath*    If a real powerfull priest can open a gate to Astral and Tarrin needs his full power to do it, does it mean Tarrin (as is) is less powerful than a powerful priest, who only get to use a part of his/her patron-gods power?    What I'm ...
