I'm in my third reread of the Malazan Book of the Fallen and them feels keep returning. I know what's coming but it seems that doesn't matter at all, I feel them all over again.

- Army of the Pharaohs - Jedi Mind Tricks - Doctor Steel - Aesop Rock - Sage Francis - Scroobius Pip - Wu-Tang Clan - Eminem (but you probably know him :))

Seeing as punk isn't a genre known for the technical proficiency of its musicians, did you practice rudiments like paradiddles and such? Or did you just bash away at the drums in a (hopefully :)) rhythmically fashion. Not trying to be offensive or anything, or to sound condescending but as a...

Gotta go with Black Sabbath man. I really like all of those bands, but for me Black Sabbath laid the foundation with its atmosphere and image.

As someone with T1 Diabetes, that is horrifying. When I got diagnosed, my bloodsugar was around that level, though in Europe we use a different measure. However, after using Google I found out what that means in mmol/L. My condolences for your loss. OT: My body before I went to the doctor. I...

It's a difficult book to get through, that's for sure. But MBoTF is a rather big time investment and things will become more clear the further you progress in the story. It also doesn't help that it was written several years before Deadhouse Gates and Steven Erikson clearly had to find his...

I also had one when I was younger, I probably was something like 6/7 years old. Anyways, I was into Batman at the time and I had a dream that in the corner of my bedroom there were 2 puppets. One of those was Batman, the other was the Joker. They both ended up terrifying me half to death...

Hey man, I'm not that familiar with the forums with regards to linking so I'm just going to put some names here. Along with some songs I like from them :P As for socially conscious hip-hop: Sage Francis - Vonnegut Busy, Makeshift Patriot Army of the Pharaohs - Suicide Girl Jedi Mind Tricks...

Aw yeah, posting about the length of series I've read. As a longtime fantasy reader (with some sci-fi thrown in), my time time to shine has finally come. Books: Single series: The Wheel of Time. As was said earlier in the thread 14 books and I've read them all. Technically I've read 15 of...

Ik zie dit als een uitgelezen kans voor alle Nederlanders der Escapist om zich te verenigen en de Escapist over te nemen. Onder het motto: 'Hup Holland Hup, laat de leeuw niet in z'n hempie staan', kunnen we alles en iedereen aan. Lang leve de Revolutie! Het is trouwens wel erg vreemd om...

Gotta agree with you there. Although a honorable mention should be made for Whiskeyjack, who apparently was so good that it took Dassem Ultor to get past his guard.

You can also see Korra's old hairstyle when Kuvira has the whole glowing eyes thing going on. When she had longer hair in those blue things. So it's Korra projecting her PTSD on Kuvira, at least that's what I call it. Also, I think the throwback to Amon shook her up, I mean the equality thing...

As previously mentioned Discworld. The best example of humorous fantasy fiction there is. Also the Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Thraxas is also moderately funny, though it bores easily. Bored by the Rings is decent, but not extraordinary. Really, Discworld is your best bet. It also has a few...

I don't know about the DnD thing since I've never played it, but it MBotF certainly isn't wacky. The whole world as created by Erikson and Esslemont is believable, at least in my experience. Also, both are archaeologists and I believe Erikson is also a trained anthropologist. And it shines...

I've only read MBotF so I can't really comment on ASoIaF, but I absolutely adore the Malazan series. The huge, sprawling world and lore, the complexity of all the plotlines and things like that really scratch my itch concerning fantasy. My favorite character is a tossup between Anomander Rake...
