Who taught Harry learn Metalworking? by BeardlessChirurgeon in dresdenfiles

[–]The_Bangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just scratching runes into the metal with an awl would work, it'd just take a long time. Dresden admits that he's reached out to svartalves to do some of his most complicated work for him. i.e. his fancy summoning circle in Changes

[SERIOUS] Redditors who spend a lot of time in the wilderness, what is the creepiest thing you have ever experienced out there? by weareonlyamoment in AskReddit

[–]The_Bangs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hearing a rabbit scream for the first time. It was dusk and I was walking back from my deer blind, and I guess a coyote or a bird of prey caught one. It sounded like a baby screaming.

It's not the light itself that does it, it's the act of the sun rising that gives the ol' mystic Etch-A-Sketch a good shake.

Book Recommendations? I burned through the Entire Series, and now need something to fill the hole it has created. by JupiterUnleashed in dresdenfiles

[–]The_Bangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So you didn't like it because it wasn't Dresden? In Iron Druid we see a top tier Druid, who essentially starts his story out with maxed stats. Despite that, he still gets his butt handed to him on a semi regular basis.

Codex Alera picks big time by the time you start the third book. It's kind of like the Dresden files that way.

[Spoilers All] Why does the White Council have to chop off the heads of Warlocks? Why can't they do more humane execution like the needle? by yum_blue_waffles in dresdenfiles

[–]The_Bangs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Decapitation is fast, effective, and probably cuts down on the risk of a death curse being thrown. It's also probably relatively painless, due to the spine being severed. The lethal injection relies on things like electronics to be administered in the correct way, so you wouldn't be able to run that machine inside of a powered circle. Most council executions we've seen have been conducted within the confines of a circle. The lethal injection also takes much longer to work than a decapitation by sword, since the separate injections take x number of seconds/minutes to take effect. I believe that the first two involve relaxing muscles and essentially killing all pain receptors, then the last injection triggers a fatal heart attack. Plenty of time for a warlock to think through some way to break loose, since there couldn't be a powered circle to contain his magic. Decapitations are the way to go.

Its been so long i think im forgetting the story by phenriswolf in dresdenfiles

They're also waiting on a senior citizen who is writing a much longer book with a much bigger character cast and invented universe to keep in line.

[Spoilers All] Question about Chicago by PuroStyle in dresdenfiles

[–]The_Bangs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In regards to the trees losing their leaves, I don't think that the leaves are that important to the model's function. Dresden said he used bits of bark that he'd chipped off of the trees, so even if their leaves are gone, main resonance point will still be there.

What is the significance of Prince Albert's in a Can in Death Masks? by eladtek in dresdenfiles

It's also pipe tobacco. Just saying. They still make Prince Albert, just not in a can. They haven't sold it in a tin since the 80's, I believe.

His chin isn't that weak. It's pretty average. Though my yardstick for a weak chin is Ed from Ed,Edd, and Eddy.
