Well that looked pretty enough I guess but does anyone have a clue what the main story is supposed to actually be? I always started Skyrim at least pretending I would finish that and the guilt of ignoring the apocalypse is an important part of the experience.

I really find this attitude hard to comprehend when I'll go Lynel and Guardian hunting with like upper-mid level Knight gear. Not only because that is completely sufficient but because like the top gear just ain't even better. Seriously the highest attack strength weapons in the game will only...

Don't know much about Japan ehh?

Orion: Why you gotta do me like that bro?

The source is wikipedia and considering how long it takes for the off chance of the Feds declassifying anything to come up the Soviet union ceasing to exist is possibly the only reason it happened at all. The main actual problem is that this argument isn't apples to apples because wiki doesn't...

Ahh but did I actually say first and you omitted? The revealing part was about how vital the other poster needs to the y-chromosome to be. When only a slight minority of people posses one and the association with "maleness" is rather more limited biologically then the great bastion of gender...

Yes this answer is not 'correct' with regards to the books as they were written. If Jordan was still with us would he be accepting of modernizations at one level or another because of course the ultimate idea was that men and women were supposed to work together? Or would, like a certain...

Problem here is the actual citation is to this EXTENSIVE blog entry which in turn mentions Amaresu by name once and just gives us "(Robert Jordan at booksignings)" as its source. Now said blog is actually by a woman who is evidently a Big Time Fan within the community proper, but not from the...

Its not "condescending" because among other things I dare say most 'progressives' understand there are practical considerations. We might like for example a big original epic story where and imagine this the girl is actually outright the world saving hero (and not casually thrown away for...

And the TEotW isn't terribly subtle about the answer even before anyone leaves Emond's Field but the 'mystery' still plays out throughout the book and it isn't confirmed until the very end. Given that we're all even having this conversation it still evidently did not become a deal breaker for...

You say that like Game of Thrones wasn't built on all us book worms smiling smugly at the poor television peasants who don't know what was coming. Or was say casting Sean Bean supposed to be obvious to the general public too? Hell way I remember it was that role that started that particular meme...

When Jordan started the series YA fantasy was not a thing. It became a thing because Millennials went from elementary through high school all while reading Harry Potter. Before that there was a real dearth of material between your Goosebumps or Animorphs and "real" literature written by adults...

That specific image is listed as being by one Ellisa Mitchell for the RPG. It is mostly a colorization of the in book map but dare I suggest the cropping and color choices rather highlight the resemblance more. Not that it isn't there at all of course, it is totally there Also this being Robert...

I don't know that every story needs its either... but in practice that sort of thing tends to be giving a free pass to making everything European, white, male, hetero-normative oriented. Just like God intended. To which I say fuck that and if it means yes every story must pay some sort of dues...

Hereditary isn't always that simple or reliable. Perhaps especially when it comes to mystical abilities that maaaybe would not be genetic as we would define them. However the hereditary element is established in the first book where Moiraine states symptoms common to girls who naturally...

Yeah but Ishamael is clearly the first poster.

Rand certainly is the protagonist but something series as a whole is known for is its IMMENSE scope going well beyond Rand. Who is generally the most important thing going on... but absolutely not the only thing going on at almost any point. Indeed he hardly even appears in some of the books...

So the rocket ship has a new exterior... is that goddamned tone puzzle inside it any easier?

On the other hand there are cultures today living much as everyone lived ten thousand years ago, and as long as the outside world refrains from interference that would probably continue indefinitely. Because such things as nation building and technological progress are not inevitable but rather...

Criticism perhaps is no longer a rarity (maybe) but consequences? Well take here consequences would be being removed as executive producer. Losing the opportunity to take even more for yourself is not a consequence. Indeed it was never actually yours to begin with. And maaaybe that's still...
