I debated that in my list but decided to put them in. If a story uses a player character, I'll hold said character to similar standards as everyone else.

Here's the PC problem in SC1 though - I'm...

It's not that uncommon for me. Combination of a lack of time, but also how I spread out what time I do have (writing, wiki editing, reading, electronic stuff). I got Isolation as a pre-order so I...

Not necessarily. A faction can be based on ideology, but politics doesn't have to factor into it. Every branch of the(insert faith of choice here) faith can be considered a faction, but it's a divide...

That belongs in "what are you playing?" I have Isolation, but haven't played it yet.

Actually, on the subject, I've been playing Doom, and started Doom II. I'm giving the former a stamp of "good,"...

Skygeirr. Quite frankly I've had enough of Char. At this point lore-wise, there's no reason to ever go back to that dirtball.

Pretty much, but there's nothing I've seen in either game that makes me want to dub either science fantasy. Granted, what crosses the line from sci-fi to sci-fa is very subjective, but in contrast to...

Eh, plan it out. That's what I usually do. Up until recently I've erred more to the planning than plotting end of the spectrum. Knowing the plot makes the writing of it easier.

Just so we're clear, the Khala and psionic matrix aren't the same thing. The Khala is something used by...

Currently reading Earth Afire. Stamp of "okay" so far - it's very much a thriller, with a heavier focus on action and less on worldbuilding and character development. In essence, not really where I...

I like 1984 a lot too. The writing's very good, the characters have layers to them, and the world is very well constructed. However, I consider BNW to be superior because of the following difference:...

Huh, I never got that impression. I've always found Artanis to be one of the most boring protoss characters around (at least in the games). In BW, his characterization can be summed up as "I want to...

No. Just no. You're assuming that Liberty's broadcasts can reach everyone, that everyone is going to believe them, that everyone is in the right state of mind to believe them, etc. If anything, the...

Doubt it personally. Arthas is undoubtedly one of the strongest villains in Warcraft, but as someone whose followed WoW, I've never felt the setting was made weaker without him per se.



Um, no....

Personally, "worst book ever" would be Knee Deep in the Dead. SotXN at least has the benefit of "so bad it's good" because you can see why it's written the way it is (transplanting game mechanics...

So, after seeing the video, cautiously optimistic. Glad they're touching on the philisophical, cultural, etc. aspects and whatnot (or intend to).

So, after seeing the video,...

No. That's a very unnatural response. I don't assume something is weak/gone if it doesn't feature in a story.



So, by that logic:

-X exists

-Therefore, X is powerful.

I tried responding a few time, but as the last time took over an hour of typing, I've tried to cut this down.

The Terran Issue

(Looks at comments of protoss being weak)

Guys...you just saw a trailer showing how AWSUM! the protoss are. We see Kerrigan getting beaten around by a hybrid, the terrans being decimated by what I...

Saw trailer and...mixed.


-Artanis wielding a warp blade and psi-blade...stupid. Stupid stupid stupid. If he's wielding the Void and Khala simultaniously, how is he not meeting the same fate as...

Fair enough.



-Mengsk: Takes power after Confederacy's fall, provides a beacon of hope, unifies the K-sector, provides a strong standing military, gives a sense of security. Up to BW, most...

Per the above post:

-Dune: Only read book 1 of book 1 (as in, how the first Dune book is separated into numerous "books" within it, similar to LotR), but loved it myself, gets a stamp of...

Last book I read was Infinity Welcomes Careful Drivers. I give it a stamp of "okay." There's a distinct moment where it stops being its own things and starts rapidly adapting the first season of Red...

I find it funny that GoT is being brought into this. As in, the most interesting aspects of GoT for me are stuff like the White Walkers, the idea of the literal song of ice and fire, Azor Azhai, the...

Ah, yes. "You guys." The royal you, used without any quotes or citations. And the entire statement is bullshit, because let's see who else is taking power in the sector, or in an attempt to take...
