Nice update. Good to see it back.

Now, here's an honest question, considering that culturally, the four kingdoms and Republic City are at a cultural level of about say 1930 or so, why is there no death penalty for their dangerous prisoners? It just seems like an utter absurd commitment of resources to cage four people like that for...

Wow. Words fail me. RIP SirNitram. My condolences to his kin and LadyTevar.

Yeah it lives!

Nice to see get it back after what, four years? And the battle goes on. A few typos here and there, but the flow is quite nice.

EDIT: though now I wonder... will you one day get back to A Piece at a Time, too?

Actually the zap gloves seem to have a bit of range, unless I'm mistaken.

Who wants to bet that Tenzin's other love was Chief Bei Fong ?

The second two books intimate that a lot of the really amazing technology, like the Infinity's ridiculous antimatter powered shapeshifting surface-to-orbit flying spacesuits (which could probably do a number on a Mass Effect capital ship really), have been discarded by the Conjoiners and Demarchist...

Seasons 2 of Fate/Zero and Game of Thrones, and Legend of Korra premiere... hell yes, I'm eager to be in April.

Exalted, hands down. The system has its numerous flaws, and there are writers who fucked some parts badly, but the sheer awesome more than makes up for it.

Well, it'd be interesting to see the Scion version of Kali, SWK and Zeus meet their 'true' mythological inspirations.

It was a suggestion IIRC.

I've read The Last Wish , Blood of Elves , Times of Contempt , Baptism of Fire and The Swallow's Tower (still waiting on The Lady of the Lake ). I think that Blood of Elves was the weakest one, but the rest isn't exaclty top notch - decent at most. The parts which center on Geralt himself are most o...

I usually read Keychain of Creation for that.

Oh c'mon, there's not so much nudity in KoC
Unless you meant Ten Winds

1) Apparently he is. There was no other living airbender during the entire run of the show.

2) It is not revealed.

3) The movement of celestial bodies influence water- and firebending. A comet with a trail evocative of fire would seem to have more associations with firebending.

It'd be cool to have something like an FTL method that works by going through a "hyperspace" ... and when the ship is in hyperspace the crew has to stay in suspended animation because their biology won't work in the place's alien physics, and the same is true for most of the ships technol...

I concur with Squeaker's review. A pleasant read. You can get the three novellas in a single book, too, which is appreciable (they're not very long anyway).

The new Glories of the Most High contains a wealth of information about Creation's celestial makeup. Apparently, the Sun is actually the Unconquered Sun's spaceship (big enough to warrant a monorail so as to operate on the outside hull. Yes, the UCS' mechanics are tough buggers): the Dirigible Engin...

Having never read any of his short stories, I wondered if other SDnetters had, and would like to share their general feeling on his style and short stories (speaking of the fantasy, not his earlier poetry). Are his short stories collections worth buying?

In your opinion, is the new book by Scott Baker as good as the previous installments of the Prince of Nothing series? After devouring The Thousandfold Thought, I wonder what will come next after my current batch of Steven Erikson and Joe Abercrombie.

I've seen this trilogy on Amazon and wondered if anyone here had read it, and if so, what is their opinion of it?

Look at the 'skrrlch' sound effect on the lower left picture: looks like V is done for this time. "Crush your windpipe with his bare phalanges" indeed.

So Spock's ship would have been specifically designed to deal with hazardous environments in general , thus including this drill, yet the Narada could not have been designed to deal with its own drill? Do you even listen to yourself? And how could the drill create such deadly radiation and/or power...

Because 24th century engineers have lost the secret of shielding their electronics? Why wasn't Spock's tiny gyroship affected by proximity to the drill head, when he attacked it? Considering the 'Spockmobile' had been specifically commissionned by the Vulcan Science Academy to deal with what are de...

Well, there was a short story by IO that dealt with Karesh's ressurection, but he IIRC never finished it (IIRC titled "This is what I do").

The list of dudes who make up aggravating nicknames? I'm so at the top of that list for coining "Battlestar Livejournal ." http://testing.mypets.ws/testing/emot-smugdog.gif When do we start coining stupid nicknames for differentiating the two timelines? Like 'Neotrek' and 'Paleotrek'?
