I wasn't a huge fan of Mistborn, the awkward teen romance element after the first book really killed it for me.
and you like The Fault in Our Stars? WTF TFiOS has to be one of my least books ever. Teenagers acting like tryhard intellectuals make me want to go zerg russian and punch some walls. Action plus romance is a pretty lethal combination, and Sanderson's attempt to write from the perspective of a teenage girl really falls flat. It's kind of like the Hunger Games, compelling at first because of the setting and all, but that gets stifled by having "ermahgerd dark and moody or blonde and puppylike idk who to choose". The Fault in Our Stars is by no means perfect. You'd be surprised though how having a terminal illness affects some people's behavior though-- my best friend passed away from brain cancer earlier this year, and some of the things in the story echo how she was in the last year or so. It cut pretty deep. Also, I like the Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, except its quoted out of context but I'll forgive that. dude you clearly haven't read hunger games closely enough  Katniss had to pretend so she can live, not because she was moody and couldn't choose which guy was hotter. You probably will lose all respect for me, but I liked Hunger Games series way more than TFiOS. From his description, it seems like he was referencing the movies more so than the books. The books needed a stronger ending or maybe just merge the whole second book with the third one. Either way, ending needed work.
Nah, definitely mean the books. Only thing good about the movies was the song by the Civil Wars/ TSwizzle. Disappointed with Jennifer Lawrence, thought she'd be hotter too based on what everyone was saying.
First book was pretty good. Everything felt so artificial and contrived beginning from the second book.

Google battle royale if you like hunger games. or even if you don't.
and all this talk about beer made me walk to the shop and buy some black label. Numy knows what I'm talking about yaya?
@nafta: beer after work (also after soccer games) and wine with dinner is so good.

I wonder if drinking non-alcohol beer/wine/anything would do anything on me if I didn't know it beforehand.
The human mind is strong.

I'm pretty sure if I drinked anything strongly vodka-flavored my body would make me drunk by itself, without needing the alcohol, since I pretty much blackout every time I drink Vodka in decent quantities.
Dunno I'm pretty sure my mind can fuck myself up.

Ok so I went back to Magic the Gathering a few days ago.
I sent a mail to sbd handling the French communication for WotC seeing if I could get stg out of it since now I'm sort of «e-famous».
Just got sent multiple 36-booster packs, the intro decks, the event decks, ... :o
This company is pretty awesome. In 2 years of working with Riot, I never got a single skin or anything.
... so jealous right now

If you don't work on your stand-up routine you will start hating yourself the moment you come onto the stage
so that's what I'd go for
|
1) I don't have any drug stories (not even weed). I'm too much of a moma's boy. <_<;
2) I'm so steamed that the Dominions 4 release has been postponed a month. At least I'll be able to play the beta due to preorder, BUT STILL q_q. Gimme my fantasy 4X...

I don't do drugs either. They cost lots of money and they can be addictive which is never a good combination.
I don't hate on people that do, though. I just choose not to.
I'm on the fence with alcohol because when I drink it, I usually get massive pounding headaches just half an hour afterwards.

I tried weed once. ONCE...

@kainzero I have no idea how you are getting a headache while drinking
that is blowing my mind.
a great hangover cure is a lot of water and a couple scoops of peanut butter before you go to sleep.
I don't want to sound like that guy, but who the fuck am I going to rage with at TL meetups? apparently it's gonna be me and Tolkien (no vodka. I can't do hard liquor. I end up in a different county when liquor gets involved) and a shit ton of DDs hahaha

Sometimes I get a headache /shrug. Probably from starting when already dehydrated. I never drink enough to get a hangover or at least I drink enough water afterwards to prevent it, not sure.
|
I can avoid it if I pound it fast enough to get there, but I've only done that once and the results were... unpleasant.

I'll rage with you my lesotho friend

Loved Battle Royale. Then I read the manga as well. That was pretty good too. And it went into greater detail into the characters. No idea what the novel is like but heard its really good.
