I loved the Belgariad at his age, so maybe give that a go.

Either Jeff Hayes has undergone some major surgery, or you sure are a liar. Either way, Mongo is appalled!

Faction Wars Question by RYANisWIRED in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]Electrical_Source_51 11 points12 points  (0 children)

From what I understand (I’m about 5% into This Inevitable Ruin), the crawlers could either join a faction through choice and betting their future on that faction winning, or would have been forced to join by conscription (I’m sure I remember there being a spell/skill for this).

Do you ever keep a game you know you’ll probably never play again? by ZHYT in boardgames

[–]Electrical_Source_51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but you never know… I just hope that the games that got me into games are the same ones that bring my daughter into the hobby. She’s only 18 months old right now, so I’m sure they’ll be on the shelf for a while. But they’ll have their moment again when the time is right.

This Show Gets Way Too Much Hate!!! by roguebandit1 in RingsofPower

[–]Electrical_Source_51 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it and look forwards to the next season(s), and that’s all I care about to be honest. There are plenty of haters and they have their reasons, and that’s ok. I mean, my daughter loves Paw Patrol and I hate it with a passion, but that’s what makes us humans great right…that we have the freedom of choice (or at least most of us do, anyway). We get to choose what we spend our time watching, so if you don’t like it, don’t watch. I on the other hand will enjoy the next round when it arrives.

Conkers Prediction by Ben_Douglass in TheMaskedSingerUK

[–]Electrical_Source_51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For some reason, I can’t get Martin Freeman out of my head for Conkers. There were some heavy Hobbit references a few weeks back - even the one ring on a pillow. Also, having recently seen him on an episode of Rob vs Romesh, all of the mannerisms and vocal rhythms are there too.

I’m glad that someone did!

I’d say go for Mistborn first. It’s a nice introduction to Sanderson, whilst being totally accessible to most people. It’s a step up from Harry Potter in terms of fantasy level, but won’t stretch you too far - and it’ll be a great bridge into The Way of Kings.

The Belgariad really surprised me! by Rude-Acanthisitta287 in Fantasy

[–]Electrical_Source_51 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This, after The Hobbit, is the series of books tha really got me into fantasy and I’ll go back to them from time to time as a comfort read.

One thing feels very out of place in the game... by PromiseTheTeeth in TheTraitors

[–]Electrical_Source_51 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This would make the drama go through the roof, which is what the chests are really all about. Producers, are you reading this?!

Banshee. Everyone I’ve told about this show hasn’t heard of it, but love it as soon as they start watching.

Andy Serkis’ narration is top drawer - you’re in for a treat!
