The Black Company is also super good at establishing an atmosphere and sticking to it, and it has pretty interesting takes on stuff like "the prophetised child", "topling the evil dictator" and stuff like that. It pans a pretty long period if you read the whole thing (oh yeah, it's over too) and the way it's handled was really well down I thought (if you just read it without giving it a thought it's true that you kinda follow a lot of the same characters, but if you look a bit behind that there's the evolution of the Company itself as an entity, which I found neat from a lore/world story standpoint).

Cook is also pretty darn good at "Show, don't tell", which is a huge plus in my book. He can make you think "this character is cool!" without ever being anything but matter-of-factly in his descriptions of him, and at the same time show you the behaviour/actions of another one who you'd deem as "that badass dark stranger" in most other series and make you exclaim "that dude's a tool!" without ever wording it or resorting to the kind of exageration you see in parodies either.

That sounds really good. I was worried it wasn't finished when i saw "to be released" spin offs. Even more sold after you mention the deeper themes which i enjoy and didn't expect from the review i read. Establishing and sticking to an atmosphere is nice for the escapism I enjoy!

hey... i didnt know where else to post, but anyone here who wants to play LoL with me on EUW? i figured with the growing interest from our community, i should become at least half decent at the game.. i played a few hundred games about two or three years back with some rl friends and im not very good. i do however get the genre as i play dota on the highest level of mmr..

There's a thread about EUW duoing on the first page, and also LiquidPractice I think is the goto-channel on all servers?
(except maybe EUNE because only I and like 5 more ppl play there).

Get to level 30 so you can play NA inhouse!

(or buy EUW a new server farm so you can...play...)
Stay positive!

If you're available tomorrow evening a bunch of people will be happy to play with you.
There may be harsh criticism if you don't tell them beforehand that you're just coming back to LoL, but it's all in the mindset of improving so don't let them scare you.

(Plus in reality they're friggin' slackers so we never really discuss the games afterwards as much as we should.)

Funny you ask Req, this is the first year since 2005 that I'm not doing Nano. I'm just too busy to, so I'm just doing a little world-building.

I was thinking of doing it for the first time, is it hard to hit the goal?

Depends. I usually go in with a pretty definite story outline and try to write a bit each day. Pacing yourself is good but don't feel obligated to write like 1333 words a day or whatever. Usually I end up cramming in like 20K+ over Thanksgiving break because I fall behind-- word count varies huge amounts from day to day. It's just something you really have to commit to. You can join the Nano group on Facebook or go on the website for advice and help, the community is pretty good.
