Brandon Sanderson / Re: Burning away the curse
« on: June 04, 2010, 06:25:23 PM »I think this is hilarious.
If Peter doesn't complain, nobody should. Lol
News:
Max is a Shadowblade, a supernatural--and supernaturally competent--warrior bound to protect her witch Giselle. As a Shadowblade, Max doesn't age. She is better, faster, stronger than any ordinary human being. And she hates it. Giselle betrayed her trust to make Max what she is, and though she is magically compelled to protect Giselle and follow orders, Max works against her witch in every way she can.

I'm a firm believer in getting rid of objects that bring bad luck. I support your actions but I demand the ashes be spread over an ocean.. or something to honor the book that was, even if said book was cursed.

Though some of those pages that make it shorter for some people will make it longer for other people, depending on how long you spend staring at them. And two of the pages could provide certain people HOURS of distraction and frustration.
I hate you so much Peter. I mean, I like you.. but I hate you. I think. Hours of distraction and frustration is wonderful.

« on: May 28, 2010, 05:40:43 PM »But really, it doesn’t bother me too much. I actually like that it is long. I was just surprised because you rarely see that.
wow
Now I'm just a little scared.
I'm happy that it's long. The more time I can spend in the world the happier i'll be. Just seems so daunting, I usually prefer books that are a bit shorter. Take for example all of Orson Scott Card's stand alone novels. They are all around 300 pages and are still really immersive.

« on: May 28, 2010, 05:26:36 PM »Wait wait Wait Wait Wait Wait.... wait... Is this surprise only in the books at that airport?
I would say yes purely on the evidence of his Twitter account. The only time we hear of surprises is when he tosses a tweet to the void saying he left something in a book store somewhere in a an airport in some city in the world.
Yup.

« on: May 28, 2010, 05:22:48 PM »I, Jordan Marble, Squirrel King, promise here after this wonderful 28th of May, 2010, to only read books that have been printed, annotations, and deleted scenes/preview chapters. I promise to not be a part of Brandon's pre-publish editing and therefore shall not bestow the name of Alpha upon myself.
Unless of course, I am asked to by Brandon Sanderson himself.
^THIS^ only with more fine print. I need ways out of this contract, I'll be sure to fill it with plenty of loop holes.

« on: May 28, 2010, 05:20:04 PM »Based off what I can determine from this discussion, a Shardsaber would be the coolest weapon ever.
You sir, just blew my mind.
Yes. Well, page 1007 is the end of the Ars Arcanum. 1008 is blank.
wow Now I'm just a little scared.

« on: May 28, 2010, 12:56:33 AM »I'm thinking pure length of the Shardblade, Szeth wins...
:insert dirty joke about length beating width any day:
You blaspheme!
My favorite shard bearer vs. my favorite Jedi. . . . . hmmm.
The real question is would Shardblade and Lightsaber ever make contact? If a Shardblade slices through everything but living matter.. could it ever really lock up against a Lightsaber's diatium cell powered light blade since it isn't living nor hard surface?!
Oh my.. the fight would be... all... no blocking just dodging. One hit by either would end the fight.

This conversation has gotten silly.
lol.
I'm okay with that. Omega for the win! (oh and btw, if I ever get asked to be an Alpha, i'll totally ditch these Omega losers!)

Count me in. Do I get a T-shirt? "Omega" on the front and "Alpha without the benefits!" on the back.
Shouldn't it be like a vow not to read any unpublished works from here on out?
*joins*
Actually, wait. Do I count as an Omega reader if I've read what BS has posted of Scribbler and Liar?

« on: May 27, 2010, 05:29:19 PM »Shardblade>Lightsaber.
I personally never thought anything.. ANYTHING.. could beat a Lightsaber. But I do believe BS has won the battle. That could be the greatest compliment a sci-fi/fantasy writer ever receive about their creativity.

Awesome episode.

« on: May 19, 2010, 07:41:06 PM »They do the cold thing in Stargate. In the TV series they dropped it after a few episodes for convenience and said that their machinery was now better calibrated.
I am currently re-watching SG-1 from the very beginning. I loved that it used to THROW you out of the stargate, then they just stopped doing it and said nothing... cold stopped. My favorite is that the Zat'nik'tel (zat) used to disintegrate the body, then they stopped mentioning it and in later seasons everybody can get zapped 10 million times and live. Built up an immunity or something.
Sorry OT but I like Peter more now that we have something else in common. Lol

« on: May 19, 2010, 06:41:31 PM »Is the prelude to the series available? Or is it only for alpha's?
Just wondering cause I love his books and drink in as much as possible; except they still won't send Dragonsteel to my library--Grrrrrr...
More then likely it's just Alphas. I haven't heard anything about it. Can't wait for it tho.
I find it interesting that passing through realms is cold (note: condensation on blade, frost on clothes)
Don't most books and movies represent time travel/realm travel/other sci-fi travel with some form of frost or cold. Takes energy to travel through these barriers and energy is heat, so it makes sense that heat would be the cost of moving through a realm like that. Just speculating, I don't have any references just recall always things it was true.
