Perrin forging his hammer is the scene Sanderson is most proud of and I think he has every right to be. That fucking rocked, still gives me chills.

I used to think that about OSC…

I don't mind stealing bread from the mouth of Scott Stapp.

Shhh, no one tell Ice-T.

I agree that the second one was a bit slow, but I really enjoyed Inerva's back story combined with the growing powers of Jardir and Arlen.

A Memory of Light and the third book in the Daylight War series are the only 2013 books I have read. Both were good, but I have to give props to A Memory of Light for the sheer magnitude of what it needed to accomplish. I don't think it was perfect, but it was probably the best we would have ever gotten, maybe even…

Nothing makes you feel younger than seeing someone who does not look that much different than they did in the Ford administration.

Stan Lee talked about that on an episode of Comic Book Men and basically said it was just a fandom wank-off.

@avclub-e1124c85b8750ec73766ed905c3ff2b2:disqus  Yeah, I just saw a bunch of "perfectly good" 32" flat screen Sony CRTs that cost over $300 less than a decade ago for $15 at Goodwill. Time to give it up.

And just as we were getting over our high school girlfriend's love of New Kids on the Block and the early 1990's country revival.

Get back to work Michael Scott.

$4.99 for something written before 1920? yeah, no thanks Atlantic.

Ars Technica did a really good review of a similar product a few months back:

Dammit, making me feel old. It is still 2.5 years until the set is 40. Now I had to go back and see that Lucas was 32 at the time, Jesus Christ!

So now Bad Santa makes a bit more sense, I just thought the kid was so worthless that he could not carve anything but an oblong object.

Yeah, AVClub is running some sort of modified Disqus, my accounts are nominally linked but most of the time my Disqus dashboard only picks up about 5% of my AVClub posts (usually Gamelogical, but I think they are running yet a third version.)

I used to do that, but now I have kids to embarrass.

In other words how big is Sandler's ego?
