I’m reading the second book, A Clash of Kings. I have no idea how the tv show season relates to the books, but I’m trying to avoid reading too much about what happens. The shows don’t exactly follow the books if I understand correctly, but I still prefer to err on the side of caution. Read more

Ah, was going to point out Anthrocon is this weekend as well.

Might be nostalgia glasses talking but I loved the Myst novels. They give an amazing background to the D’ni as a people. Read more

Almost certainly the BattleTech novels. They did a great job of showcasing new events in the canon, and were written in close coordination with the people writing the sourcebooks. Read more

So, anyone have an opinion which is the greatest game/book tie in? Either book to game or the other way around. Read more

I’ve had this on my Kindle wish list for a while, but I was uncertain if it was worth it or not. I loved the story in the game and didn’t know if this book would give me more of what I enjoyed there or not. Thanks for the review, I plan to pick this up after I’m done with the Game of Thrones book I’m currently working… Read more

I needed something to push me into reading books regularly again. I think I’ll pick this up. Thanks :) Read more

I, for one, welcome our new pony overlords! Read more

Connecticon is fun if you are in the Northeast, I suggest people give it a go. Though take that recommendation with a grain of salt since I happen to be friends with the guy who runs it. Read more

Yeah, what’s the appropriate time horizon where you don’t have to worry about spoilers? The Hobbit’s been out for somewhere around 70 years. I say you get about a year from release, if you can’t be bothered to see it by then — that’s on you. Read more

Completely gutted to read your mom bought the console for you and didn’t realize no game was inside and you then had to wait a few months to play something. I feel like buying you a game lol, though I know you don’t need help anymore. Your mom spent some of the precious house money making sure you were entertained,… Read more

Yes, Mask of the Betrayer is up there with BG2 and Planescape: Torment in the best RPGs ever. Read more

Most of the same writers like David Gaider have been writing for Bioware since Baulder’s Gate II so it would stand to reason that most games would have that same style. Read more

Their attempts at humor. Oh god... how I miss baldur’s gate 2.

The betrayal is but a smidge of plot device on a much grander experience. Although it does seem like BioWare have a certain fascination in betrayal stories that even carries over to Dragon Age Inquisition. Read more

I’ve always heard Neverwinter Nights 2 has an expansion that’s typically mentioned in the “best RPGs ever” conversations. I should check this out perhaps. Read more

Pillars of Eternity and Divinity Original Sin have struck this same chord for me. I cut my teeth on the infinity engine games and have a soft spot still for well written, lengthy campaigns. Read more

Man she’s right, get the diamond edition on GoG. Hordes of the Underdark is totally awesome. And honestly to me, the game really starts after you play the main campaign and the xpacs. There are a LOT of quality custom campaigns out there, some of them are superior in many ways (writing, itemization, etc.) to the… Read more
