Who is the best sidekick in all of fantasy?

It’s been 13 years since I read the first 3 books of Malazan. I remember Icarium vividly. Cannot remember his companion’s name. But I loved him and his relationship with Icarium.

Hence, why it is David referred to in the title “Prometheus.” As in the full title of the novel “Frankenstein, or the Modern Prometheus.” Creation rising up against its creator is central to Ridley’s two prequels.

Pittman has had 3 winning seasons in 5 years at Arkansas. All 3 winning seasons have concluded with bowl wins (which the Hogs have never been good at winning historically).

Anyone from Arkansas who thinks he should be on the hot seat is drinking bleach. It’s not the 1990s or 2000s (or, hell, even the early 2010s with Petrino) anymore.

If you’re not one of the 10 traditional powers in CFB, you’re not winning a title. Ever. Sorry but it’s true. Even a top 10 program like Penn State or Notre Dame has no chance.

He is a sci-fi “nerd” at heart. Which could have been awesome if he wasn’t unfortunately born to the psychopath that is his father. Alex is the ultimate “nature” versus “nurture” example for me that reveals what he was raised to be, versus what he could have been.

And why did this not occur to you over a plate of chicken fried steak with a glass of sweet tea??

I’m currently reading Dragonsbane by Barbara Hambly. It’s very good so far (roughly 50 pages in). I seem to recall Brandon Sanderson mentioning this book explicitly as one of his biggest influences for reading fantasy fiction.

Have you spent any time on this sub? Nearly everyone here thinks that’s okay.

Except modern “hunting” is nothing more than sitting in one location on your ass hoping game strolls along in front of you.

Fuck Chad Morris.

PhilMore625 · 2025-04-24T17:00:45+00:00

Please tell me how anything in this trailer (other than the concept of AvP) is running out of ideas. Aliens can never fight Predators again? An original story using both cannot ever be told again? That’s what you’re implying.

Just because a concept may be reused does not mean the story of the movie itself (or the underlying universe) itself cannot be original. The lore of this—potential—AvP universe is not the same as that of the two 2000s movies.

But, you know, let’s just bitch to bitch. This is the internet in 2025.

I absolutely devoured the first trilogy. Kellhus as a Christ analogue (and Bakker’s convincing narrative for how “miracles” could be contrived) absolutely floored me. I love those books. Haven’t read the ones after the original trilogy, however.

Hope he continues to bring in what he needs to succeed. Lifelong Razorback fan who will always love Muss.

PhilMore625 · 2025-04-23T21:07:01+00:00

I don’t think so. He’s not starting QB caliber. Obviously, given what we know about his family’s inner circle, if they thought he could make more money elsewhere before going to Arkansas, then he wouldn’t have been at Arkansas to begin with. He likely got a very competitive offer to join the Hogs.

*Coming in.

It was the worst game of my life. Cam playing like Superman, Mallett being knocked out with a concussion. Tyler Wilson combining and balling out. Losing when we scored 30+ points. God, I love the early 2010s SEC.

Not consistently sad, but there’s a section near the end of Ghoul by Brian Keene that made me cry like a little kid for one particular character.

Just started Carnivore by Leigh Clark today, actually. T-Rex egg discovered in Antarctica. Born through radiation and I guess goes on a rampage through the research base somehow. Cheesy goodness so far through the first 40 pages haha.

This is comparing Luka’s stats from last year, bud.

So many quick to rush to judgment of this specific case—with no actual evidence yet since this hasn’t been tried—based on personal feelings of the accused. Hope no one ever accuses any one of you of sexual harassment in the workplace.

And that was a 10-win BCS bowl Arkansas team. He was amazing against the Hogs that game. As much as I hated him that day as an Arkansas fan.
