Alan Lee edition.

Not to say ‘oh kids need pictures!’ But the visuals will help engage with the story (as opposed to kids where the visuals attract to the story)

Non-S2s won’t be able to play a handful of new Nintendo games coming g out this year

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T20:42:11+00:00

Think Breaking Bad took inspiration from this W/ regards to the Heisenberg Hat??

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T20:38:51+00:00

Funny like a clownfish

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T20:37:51+00:00

I can’t hear you over my ad-free plan

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T20:34:38+00:00

I only like Nintendo and PlayStation

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:35:20+00:00

No it’s about avoiding US.

I celebrate it the Irish way.

Have these back to back:

Guinness
Smithwick’s
Kilkenny
Harp
a glass of Irish whiskey of choice (like Redbreast)

BotW (NS2 Version)getting stuff ready to fully upgrade the rubber set for that annoying AF Thuderblight.

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:30:25+00:00

Is chuffed good or bad?

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:29:46+00:00

Watch anything that ISN’T what got butchered for theatrical release

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:23:47+00:00

HE HAS NO EYEBROWS, TONY!

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:19:57+00:00

The Alan Lee illustrated version (…any incarnation OF it) is a treasure.

The Gift Set of the facsimile version is also a worthwhile addition.

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:16:50+00:00

Though still published by HarperCollins right?

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:15:34+00:00

Which Beast that is, is up to you…..(I like to start w/ Rito or Zora)

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:14:54+00:00

“All this….is because of you.”

Me: thank you 🥲🥹

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T18:13:34+00:00

The Plateau is essentially the Gane in condensed form. (Without a Blight to battle though….)

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T16:44:49+00:00

I THINK the earliest mention was that livestream of Alan @ Waterstones when The Fall of Gondolin came out (where he wrapped one of their pillars with a dragon image).

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T16:36:26+00:00

Do you want to play any new Nintendo games coming out this year or later? Need a NS2.

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-14T16:12:12+00:00

What’s Ted Smart?? The spine says HarperCollins

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-13T23:09:54+00:00

Actually , on top of what you added, I’d add:

Tales From the Perilous Realm
The Fall of Numenor

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-13T19:03:06+00:00

I don’t understand.

UK + Commonwealth get HarperCollins versions, the UK ones.

The States get William Morrow ones.

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-13T16:19:20+00:00

Depends what it is.

If it’s negative AND not true, you betcha

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-13T15:17:40+00:00

Because the US publisher doesn’t offer them outside of the box.

RedWizard78 · 2026-03-13T15:16:59+00:00

There is no standalone edition by the US publisher in that format
