There’s a pretty cool classic Cyberpunk novel series with Arabic setting: When Gravity Fails by George Alec Effinger. It features a setting where both the Soviet Union and the United States collapsed, but the Islamic world got out of the simultaneous fall of communism and capitalism relatively unscathed and tons of… Read more

Yep. I just use a cheap KVM switch to switch between my work and personal computers. Very simple to install and use, I don’t really trust software solutions for this kind of thing.
Orcs of earlier ages had to contend with the other races of middle earth at their strongest, in turn probably making orcs themselves more powerful by necessity. Read more
I believe I read somewhere in the hobbit, that Tolkien describes orcs (or perhaps goblins) Read more
I found the bikes easiest to drive, personally.
The books are so short that I doubt they could stretch to three films on their own. There isn’t really any good cutoff point in them. Read more
They better adapt Kyoshi trilogy, the novel of her story has been highly praised. Read more
The comics are OK, but the Kyoshi novels are actually great, and the same author is going to publish a Yangchen novel soon.
And how is it that a lightsabre through the chest is, to quote the immortal Monty Python, “only a flesh wound?” Read more
Well, the narrator can be an older Eowyn decades after the War of the Ring.
Depends on how fast system you’ve got I think. I’ve played on PC and can count the serious stutter issues with one hand. There used to be a little stutter whenever passing from one area to the next, but I never experienced it in combat and it vanished in 1.04 as far as I can tell. Read more
That UI issue isn’t even new, it’s been on all the From games at least since Dark Souls. So it only took what, ten years to fix it?
Sorry, but how would you have done that? The Soviet Union collapsed, but Russia never surrendered to anyone. I doubt that even in their most weakened state they would have played along.
It made money in spite of everything, so I think that the DLC is still coming. Probably not until next year, though, since so much resources had to be put in fixing the game after publication.
A snow troll is mentioned in the LotR Appendices, but just as a simile; Helm the Hammerhand snuck out of his fortress to kill enemies with his bare hands “like a snow troll”. Read more
He doesn’t. Grant having trouble with technology is a film-only addition. Grant in the book is generally a very different character from the film: he’s significantly older than Sattler, not romantically interested in her, he has a full beard and he loves children.
It became a cult favourite in the following decade.
While I’d love more Kyoshi novels, this sounds pretty exciting too. My only complaint about Yee’s writing is that his books are too short for the stories he wants to tell.
Blaidd does go insane in the end, but he’s not the red invader, that’s a Baleful Shadow, one of the Fingers’ assassins after Ranni.
I’d assume that the water comes from the astronauts themselves. Those suits are sweaty as heck and there’s nowhere for it to go.
