TEOL

I tend to stick to the given pronunciations, basically because most of the time they sound better. Ta-eem was particularly useful in the days of the Taimendred theory.

Got to be Taim, no contest. He's the proverbial badass motherfucker of the series. I mean, he hardly appears for the first five books, and then turns up and instantly starts kicking butt. Can't argue with that. I'm still hoping he gets properly revealed as being a mini-Forsaken of sorts in book twelve, because book eleven's ending was too ambiguous for me.

Personally, I'll celebrate my victory quietly and move along, as is my custom.

Pretty much got it in one. lol. When one's brother, who one once considered and idol and cool, suddenly spends their days in a festering black mess talking to their models and, as you say, refering to the actions of his armies' commander unit in first person and proceeds to dress up as a Space Marine for halloween, one becomes a little...disillusioned. :pinch: Well I shall have to give his books a look just in case. Don't like to miss out. Oh, and I'm a girl. >_> I should hope so, I had money on you being Stok's girlfriend

I randomly picked up DW5 Empires a while back, not knowing what it was but seeing the potential for lots of random characters and plenty of hack'n'slashery. I wasn't disappointed.

See, I just tend to faze out whenever she starts talking at length on things like this. Now, back in your cage. ¬_¬ Can't get a much higher recommendation than Stok's girlfriend, of all people. Of course, her opinions are generally flawed, such as the idea that Mat being based on Odin (and, indeed, all the other characters who are obviously based on Norse myths, of which there are too many) is a good thing, or indeed this assertion that the good guys in general are anything more than a bunch of pussies since the real badasses of the series are the bad guys... but then, maybe that's just me, I guess I just have an affinity for evil >_> Still, I guess the spirit is there.

Book 10 seriously is the worst. Not to spoil it, but nothing exciting does happen >_> You're best off getting through it as quickly as possible and moving on to Knife of Dreams, when things pick up again a bit.

God, is that ever true. If any woman ever need a slap and a 'Make me a sammich'... Put it like this; I never finished LOTR and it's what, a quarter of the size of WoT?

Better than A Song of Ice and Fire. Fact. So yeah, Zan unintentionally allowed me to rediscover my love for my favourite fantasy series, and I'm enjoying the hell out of rereading it, even if I haven't got that far back through it again, but at least it gave me an excuse to change my username again Any other Wheel of Time fans on EWB? Other than Cat Alex, who presumably doesn't count?

... you're a scary person.

But I hate leveling, so I always play those battles at whatever level my party is when I get to them... amps up the challenge rating a bit.

Eh, I've never needed an excuse to replay FFVII. If anything I need to dig up my second copy and challenge my sister once and for all to a speed playthrough pitting her method of training the party against my method of playing the same boss fight I'm too weak to beat over and over until I win.

Oh, come on. I mean, adverb-transitive verb as a clause? Puh-lease.

That isn't even a sentence >_>
