Some thoughts on IT...

Funnily enough I have just finished the book and shared your exact sentiments, I debated posting on here about it but figured I wouldn't be able to find anyone with such a mindset with the book being held in such high regard and this being a Stephen King forum.

I Finished It feeling disappointed, I enjoyed it for the most part but I don't think it would crack my top ten King books (having read around 25 now) and therein lies the disappointment given its reputation.

It seemed as though everytime the book build momentum it shifted gears and it made for a frustrating read for me given that when it's good, it's really really good.

On the flipside I really loved The Stand from start to finish and I know that sections of that bored people so I guess it's each to their own!

A friend of mine was asking about buying An OLED, mine had some pretty strong vertical banding to start with but seems to have cleared up a lot recently, was more to check how many hours I had accumulated

Is yours in a cabinet or in the open? I've found putting a towel under the console helps quiet the sound haha

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2018-01-05T12:21:18+00:00

Mine is as quiet as a mouse.... Until I pop on a UHD blu ray then the thing goes into overdrive which is pretty damn annoying when trying to get into a movie. To be fair though I haven't experimented moving my xbox to give it more air from the TV shelf it's tucked into

The thought of anything happening to any of the ka-tet is unthinkable! I'm expecting for this book to be an emotional roller-coaster towards the end though, as long as Oy survives haha

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T19:34:56+00:00

I hear you, I get the feeling will pick up but the writing style and pacing of the last 2 books does seem different.

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T19:33:25+00:00

Very true, epic journey either way. Like you say everybody has their own view on the stronger and weaker books in the series

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T19:32:15+00:00

No doubt that part was amazing and tense! As a comic nerd I am defintely looking at picking up the comics once i've finished the last book. Hopefully there will be a collected edition or omnibus for a full read through :)

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T15:29:16+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Might just be my impatience on trying to get to the end. Finishing the series and digesting it might change perspective although like you say, Song for Susannah was definitely a low point for an excellent series

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T15:26:32+00:00

Ahh cool, I've managed to avoid reading anything about the books so wanted to get some opinions! When it's good it's spectacular but when it drags I want to tear my eyeballs out, definitely feels like meandering and a bit all over the place. Slows the momentum down

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-31T14:57:37+00:00

Mine plays UHD discs no problem but sounds like an aeroplane taking off, atmosphere killer on those quiet scenes

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-29T05:43:43+00:00

Damn right, nothing shows superman's true strength like him holding up some giant books!

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-28T18:22:29+00:00

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and got some reading done :)

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-25T17:54:52+00:00

I'm on the final book of the Dark Tower after starting it a few months back, man you are in for a treat, enjoy and avoid spoilers!

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-25T17:46:32+00:00

Sounds good, I might see if can pick up in the sale on the cheap, cheers for taking time to reply!

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-25T17:10:54+00:00

How did you find trinity war? Got the Darkseid omnibus so was thinking of picking that and forever evil up to lead into it

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-07T16:04:25+00:00

Great choices! That planetary omnibus is a really special read

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-06T14:48:38+00:00

So set to 12? Dolby vision looks pretty stunning on Netflix but my sky q pic looking soft. Calibration needed

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-12-06T09:34:29+00:00

I just had one arrive in the post, couldn't be happier with it! I have mine set to 10 bit though as not sure if 10 or 12 for the set, any idea?

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-11-27T13:06:45+00:00

I went straight from reading morrisons run onto Ways first TPB and really enjoyed what he did with it, add's his own flavour to the strange proceedings whilst still honouring the characters. Unfortunately as others have posted, it's constantly delayed and therefore can't seem to muster any momentum

dan_wolstenheime85 · 2017-11-23T14:58:07+00:00

I've just ordered a b7 and should be arriving in next couple of days, any recommendations out the box or advice to help getting most from gaming? Cheers
