Good thing there was no such thing as twitter or facebook when I read SoS the first time  I raged alone for a while and people thought I was crazy when I tried to explain.

I can understand not wanting to read tome after tome of food descriptions, rape, and betrayal; especially one written by a fat, old pedophile, that's just not everyone's cup of tea. I just want to know how it is possible to enjoy a story so loving much as to act like a goddamn child over it yet not want to know what happens next (nothing) enough to pick up a book? If it's because you don't like to read, then you're just loving dumb. I know I'm just speaking into an echo chamber, but gently caress illiterate goons Also, A Feast For Crows is A Good Book (myrish swamp aside) Oberst fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Jun 4, 2013 |

We could always refer to the books as enchiridions in future, just to be annoying.

Holy Calamity! posted:I'm burning through Feast for Dragons and it owns, a lot. Ill definitely give this a try, Im just reluctant to tote my hardcover ADWD around. Any excuse to reread Jaime, Brienne, and Reek chapters ill take really Except for the fact that Brienne's quest is ultimately pointless (which could be fixed by hiding the sansa chapters), all of those are some of GURM's best writing imho. Thats probably what made me most angry about ADWD, one loving jaime chapter I told people for three seasons that Jaime was my favorite character, and got nothing but disgusted looks. Cant wait until NCW back hands some fools with his golden hand. Oh jaime

You know, it's funny because during the course of the series, all Jaime does is get his rear end kicked repeatedly. Yet we're always told he's 'like the best fighter ever!' Or he was or some poo poo. I don't know. He gets:
Given how much not-winning he does in the series, I was sure the show watchers would hate him. And yet he's still among their favorite characters... how about that. Contra Calculus fucked around with this message at 02:57 on Jun 4, 2013 |

Not trying to defend the one who does not write but c'mon. You know he wanks off to Daario/Darkstar/&c's impending deaths.

Contra Calculus posted:Jaime Swordfighting In Brienne's first AFFC chapter she thinks about how she was only barely able to hold her own against a malnourished, bound, out-of-practice Jaime. She's all "No man would be a contest for him at full strength and it was the greatest of slights to take that away from him, it's one thing to kill a lion and another to cut off its claws and resign it to fear and confusion" yada yada. I'm not trying to prove you wrong or anything, I just don't remember anyone referring to Brinne's direct thoughts when the "Was Jaime actually all that great?" debate comes up.

In the show, he stabs Jory Cassel in the loving face Jaime is awesome, we just never directly see him kick rear end except against Brienne while emaciated/chained I also thought I remembered Selmy reminiscing about a young Jaime and whatnot Oberst fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jun 4, 2013 |

I like Jaime because he has a very interesting story arc that's very small and personal. Its a nice counterpoint to all the big epic going-on's that go nowhere. I like Arya the Best Character Who Isn't Strong Belwas and Daenarys When She Isn't Being a Twat for similar reasons.

Oh no, I didn't mean to say he wasn't ever good at what he does, it's just that whenever we see him, he loses. Jon, Arya, and Brienne all win whenever they're in fights.rejutka posted:The cast of Game of Thrones: Which loving one? That's like half the cast.

Marketing New Brain posted:Right before he goes to take his vows and leave for the wall, Jon asks Ned does my mother know about me/does she care that I'm alive. He promises to tell him everything when they next meet, which obviously never happens, but presumably there is some dark secret since he never tells him anything about his mother, and won't until he's a member of the Night's Watch. It's poo poo like this that makes me want to punch the gurm in the face for leaving out stuff from the book.

Look at this baka scrub, the minion of Kakashi's nemesis Jiraiya has a colony of magic spores in his intestines and has an attack that uses toxic gas buildup from the respiration cycles of said spores to launch rock hard poo poo-pellets from his anus at rifle speeds, one of them notably briefly injuring Sasuke in an early episode.

Ino returns to her mission but then they hear noises on the ceiling and when they open the door, they see a rainbow. It’s not rain, but Naruto’s pee.
