You just won yourself an Internet, Sir or Madam.

Yep, 10 did it for me. I like Sanderson's stuff well enough, but nothing could make me go back slough through the last several thousand pages of Jordan's mess. Wikipedia plot synopsis is good enough for me. Possibly better written.
I read them all — and now wonder why. That guy is terrible. His books are bad and he should feel bad.
Welcome to the Internet, let us sing you the song of our people.
Every once in a while she'll leave me a voice mail where she just shouts "Muad'dib" and then hangs up.
This is going to sound really weird, but this is my mom's favorite episode of Highlander.
This. That is all.
Unrelated but amusing: I taught English in Budapest for a while.
The other teacher, an Englishman, and I were enjoying a beer after class one evening.
I'd recently had a rather long lay over at Heathrow and had spent a day zipping around London. I asked him why London was so bloody ugly, to which he replied, "German…
Oh man, now what am I going to do with all this freedom of choice? All these consumer rights? Uuugh, thinking hurts my brain. Please tell me how I should be playing video games, Microsoft!
Seriously, the Microsoft PR engine is all revved up, passing our talking points in the hopes that when they reintroduce these…
We are all Francis.
This pleases me.
This is a step in the right direction. They now have my attention, but will have to earn my trust. And for those bemoaning the lack of innovation, well ... (and I'll probably get flamed with "lol, pc master race" comments for this) consoles haven't been doing anything innovative for most of the past generation. The…
This is among the better pieces I've read on today's "Xbox 180."
I approve this message.
I built my current rig for about $900. I built it during the PS3/360 era (about 2 years ago) and while it's no longer a high-end system, it'll be good to go for sometime into the PS4/Xbone era. If you've bought at least one of each (not to mention a TV — I just use my monitor for everything) you've already spent more…
Or a journalist. And as a journalist, I wouldn't wish that on anyone!
Then Krieg is your man. Seriously, while gamers should never trivially through money at stuff just because it's cheap, considering that so many games have crazy high price points these days and Krieg is just $9 on Steam, I'd he's worth it. I had a blast playing him — he feels a lot like the Gunzerker in some ways, but…
Except that I meant "VI and VII" instead of "XI and XII." Which is what I get when I stay up all night leveling a Psycho in Borderlands 2 and then rant before coffee.
FFXII is by far one of the most under appreciated entries in the series. I've never understood why, personally. For a PlayStation 2 game it's remarkably pretty. While Vaan is annoying, the other characters are interesting, the environments are gorgeous and the Gambit system is open enough for some real subtlety. It…
His impact can not be overestimated. Like Leiber, he might not have ever achieved the recognition of SF luminaries like Bradburry or Asimov, or the current crop of fantasy big names, but his mark on both genres is indelible. Farewell Jack, may flights of most excellent prismatic sprays sing thee to thy sleep.
