I'm about halfway through the new GGK and it's good so far. If you like Rothfuss, try Lyonesse by Jack Vance. As I mentioned below, I also recommend Tim Powers.

When it comes to reading actual historic fiction with a slight fantasy twist, I always recommend Tim Powers, starting with The Anubis Gates.
Have to disagree about Tigana, I would recommend Lions of Al Rassan.
Rheed-uh-pan-dee. I come from a couple of valleys east of there.
We get proper saesneg beaten into us in school.
Also Welsh, from Porth originally. *vowel lacking high five.
That's true, but for that job on a major TV channel in the UK you still need a serious journalism background.
The total lack of answers to the Stalin question reaffirmed my long held prejudice that US TV reporters are dumb as a box of frogs, so that was nice.
I'll just put this over here with the rest of the fire.
Chunky Pontiff refers to Jesse's gran as Aunt Marie, iirc. They're the slightly more secular American cousins of the family.
Straight outta Trumpton.
Evil Sam Elliot would be amazing.
Although his family might better be described as flat out psychotically abusive.
One of the greatest moments in the comic for me.
The Witcher is just a great game, and it's really nice to see a game with so many European (as opposed to English) cultural influences.
I haven't played SR4, because SR3 didn't particularly impress me. SR2 was the perfect balance between 'realism' and absolute crazy game activities for me.
I thought Columbia had huge potential that was kind of unrealized. If they made an RPG set there, maybe about the time the whole city goes into chaos, I would be fascinated to see that.
I really wish they'd give us an update on Crackdown 3, and I hope the sticky duck bombs are back.
Take a hell of a wall to keep her out.
