my wife gets very excited when I cook something special, to the point that she shadows me in the kitchen and damn near jumps me when I have a moment to spare. She's much more pragmatic about every day cooking tho

The magic system works like this: First there were holds-powerful, but unrefined. After that came warrens, which were more specialized, more precise. Each warren and hold is like a plane of existence unto itself. People can tap into the power of that plane and use it for various purposes. It is rare to find people…
+1 to MSchic's recommendation, everything said there is true
Try Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson, a completed ten book epic fantasy series. The first book is rough around the edges and somewhat difficult to get through the first time around, but what follows more than makes up for your perseverance
Malazan Book of the Fallen. I'm just going through it for the first time and am now on the last book. Still a thousand pages to go, but I'm not ready for the end just yet!
Very much agreed, Erikson's series is masterful. It is a dense, haunting, thought-provoking, cringe-inducing teary affair from start to finish. He will change the way you look at someone or thing not just once, but multiple times (see T'lan Imass and Jaghut, just for starters), keep you on your toes for every last bit…
Right on! I participate in play-by-post D&D campaign run by my friend. My character is a plain-looking, 200 y/o elf, multiclassed as a priestess and rogue. She also happens to be a pariah amongst her people, all because she has face markings (tattoos essentially) earned from a tribe of wild elves she assisted.
don't you belong on the malazan forum? :p
Not SciFi (does it really matter? Depressing endings are depressing endings), but Deadhouse Gates and Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson stand out as being quite depressing in an already-bleak series (Malazan Book of the Fallen). Spoilers if you haven't read either...
A great addition. The only problem is, do you make his last stand begin with the start of the Chain or there at the end, outside Aren? I love the series as a whole (on Toll the Hounds now), but the Chain of Dogs is far and away my favorite sequence in any book I've read. And the way Erikson harkens back to it at the…
hah my wife did the same thing (altho she paged through my book instead of going to the internet) as soon as the episode was over. I give her the vaguest spoilers only if she asks, but most of the time I won't say anything and let her percolate in whatever wild ideas spring to her mind
My recently-turned 9 year old daughter hasn't had any ill side effects from watching this show. Then again, she's been killing zombies since she was six, watches the Walking Dead and finds Shaun of the Dead hilarious.
I didn't know Arseface was a real person!
agreed, the music and audio for this trailer was really bad
they don't really have summaries, but malazanempire.com has sub forums for each book that should help you piece together the important stuff.
The only thing that sucks about this videogame is that it wasn't real
The only definites I know of are Gwendoline Christie and Natalie Dormer
It's the least I could do-your reviews helped me start the Malazan series :)
Wertzone has a pretty good outline of the published books here: [thewertzone.blogspot.com]
