Serious Callers Only Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 How about this WM? He'll have to sleep with Tairy, the Duke, and St*anek. How's that for a mental image? Democracy in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I better leave before Mr. Abercrombie comes back and unleashes Glokta and his Practicals on the lot of you for such heresy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry. Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Well, look on the bright side. Your bad mental image can't be worse than mine. I just learned that Screech (Dustin Diamond) made a porn tape. :sick: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLU-RAY Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'll bring it on the 14th if you'd like. Oooooh. Ooooooooh. That would be aces, if you would. I'll even promise not to gloat (too much) in exchange . Seriously, though, it'd be much appreciated. And don't worry, Joe, I will still buy a copy when it comes out . God knows, I already own two copies of each of Scott Lynch's books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinDonner Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Finally got my review up... December's a bitch for reviewing, I have so much work to do and no time for constructive slacking. Still, better late than never, all the better to torment you all with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmail Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I'm currently reading Before They are hanged. Its good, but: - this is a fairly big gripe for me in regards to Martin, and it seems old Joe here is trying to outdo him. Bickering. I am so sick and fucking tired of characters in these books always disliking each other. Its endemic. Martin is not too bad, though i cannot really say i know of any true friendships in the books. But Abercrombie is worse. Everyone hates each other, and gets pissy all the time, and hisses and snaps at each other ALL THE TIME. Now i understand that there will be enemies, but can these guys not have one friend. I mean, at best, i can think of Jon and Sam in ASOIAF. In Before they are hanged...up to page 87. Nothing. Its tedious and tiresome, and i cannot imagine it, honestly. It strikes me as incredibly false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthmail Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 SPOILERS!!! SPOILER: LAoKSo, i have to say that Before they are hanged is turning out to be one of the best books that i have ever read. Its...dammit its fun to read. I have been laughing at different things and thoroughly enjoying myself for awhile now, but i just read something that made me chuckle with glee. So West, trudging with the Prince Ladisla, attacks some Northern scouts with the help of Dow, Dogman, and the boys. First he goes off the deep end by biting some guys face off. Then he returns to find the prince trying to rape the girl. And he pushes the prince off a fucking cliff. Brilliant! I thought for awhile that the prince would one day reform, become a better man...but no. West pushed him off a cliff. Brilliant beyond words.

Arthmail Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Firstly, didn't know how. Secondly, considering that this is a discussion of the THIRD book, i figured that simply putting spoilers in capital at the top of the post would be enough for people to...i don't know...not read it.

RedEyedGhost Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 For a while there, I was ready to go for the kil. Yeah, I had a pretty big brain fart there. Firstly, didn't know how. Secondly, considering that this is a discussion of the THIRD book, i figured that simply putting spoilers in capital at the top of the post would be enough for people to...i don't know...not read it. It is a discussion about a book that is not yet in print - it is not a "spoiler thread." The same thing earned some board suspensions in the "Dexter" thread in Entertainment. There's a thread about how to post spoilers in general - which nobody bothers to use the search function and find To black out spoilers type: [sp*iler=whatever you want to title your spoiler]spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler spoiler [/sp*iler] with an 'o' in place of the '*' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edda van Heefmstra Ruston Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Aside from any of that, this isn't like email where you can see 'SPOILER' at the top and delete it to move on to the next reply. You still have to scroll past the SPOILER post to get to the next one, so chances are good you'll see part of the spoiler, even if you don't stop to read it all. Having said that, thanks for changing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
