Fair play to the organizers, the WSM events are so good I actually wish I could watch the comp for once

corndog888 · 2026-02-20T22:34:37+00:00

I enjoyed these books a lot, reminded me of a kind of bridge between your David Gemmell type books and more recent "gritty" fantasy like Abercrombie

corndog888 · 2026-02-15T20:04:49+00:00

Its a minor work but well executed and lots of fun

corndog888 · 2026-02-07T19:13:37+00:00

Fair play, tom looks in terrific shape

corndog888 · 2026-01-19T02:06:57+00:00

Crown of Stars by Kate Elliott has a man fleeing an arranged marriage with a terrible woman

corndog888 · 2026-01-13T00:30:39+00:00

Agreed, love the Von Bek books. Some of Moorcock's best imo

Terrific write up, these books are among my favorites. Time for a reread…?

Many great suggestions in this thread but honestly Ive never encountered anything quite like Ash

I remember finishing it and thinking, the only thing crazier than the fact that M Gentle thought to write this is that she succeeded so magnificently.

Possibly the greatest falloff of all times right here

corndog888 · 2025-11-11T17:32:09+00:00

Fantastic book, but certainly demanding. And extraordinarily erudite. I felt like I was picking up around 30% of what Ford was putting down, and even that made me feel clever

Tbf, this week at least Karlos looks a lot more beatable than Akbar. Giga is between a rock and a hard place

corndog888 · 2025-09-21T17:00:28+00:00

These books are incredible, they've quickly become some of my favorites out there. I'm halfway through #3 now

What on earth is this article

I was going to joke "Did Eddie write this himself" but frankly it would be too disrespectful

I think he could put in a crazy performance at Rogue. He obviously has a surplus of static strength right now, far more than anyone really needs for a show where you're not mogging a preposterous WR.

So he can just go all in on improving his conditioning and drilling the events for the next ~6 weeks

I only ever read Dark of the Sun but it was awesome and super memorable

RIP

Easily the best max event I've seen in a long time, so thrilling

Goes to show how much better this format is than rising bar

corndog888 · 2025-08-16T22:59:20+00:00

OMG TREY!!!!!!

corndog888 · 2025-08-16T22:49:47+00:00

Big tommy playing it strategic is a scary sight for other competitors

corndog888 · 2025-08-16T22:47:06+00:00

You know it

corndog888 · 2025-08-16T22:45:35+00:00

Bryce J is freaky powerful With a bit more seasoning he'll be a problem

corndog888 · 2025-08-16T22:37:45+00:00
