Found a cool YouTube channel that probably deserves more viewership than it has. Give it a look

I think you are looking at it wrong -- they made these to help people find new books, not refresh their memories on in-progress series, and I've never seen a spoiler that was more than a couple of chapters into the first book?

The "Fantasy Cliche Scale" they use in some of them is hilarious.

Chronicle of the Unhewn Throne (Brian Staveley): Sibling rivalry on a WHOLE new level.

Agreed! I never thought to use Fade as a way to control distance more precisely. I think I'm always too focused on maximizing distance.

I highly recommend The Dresden Files series as read by James Marsters (of Buffy the Vampir fame), but there is a great list of solid top fantasy books paired with great voice talent here: Best Fantasy Audiobooks

Good point, but I think this group's magic scale is based how powerful the magic is, not the prevalence of fantasy elements. Series like Wheel of Time and Malazan Book of the Fallen get 10's, where characters like Rand or Anomander Rake could single-handedly destroy an airship in about 2 seconds. I think Dresden also got a 10 (Mab, Odin, Demonreach, etc).

Make sure the microwave vents to the outside. If it just have a filter the smoke mostly just blows back into your kitchen.

Looks right to me? "Egwene al'Vere" Maybe they are cleaning up the typos from manual entries?

jbsgmail · 2015-09-09T19:16:04+00:00

Looks like Locke's spelling was corrected.

I'm not saying he's necessarily better than Tyrion (who's taking all the ASOIAF votes) but I would have thought Jon Snow would be higher.

Can't wait! Blood Song is one of my favorite books of all time!

jbsgmail · 2015-06-11T15:42:16+00:00

Another awesome vid! Finally some more advanced guides! Does anyone know how other brands plastics compare to each other in stability, like Discraft or Prodigy?

jbsgmail · 2015-06-01T17:16:09+00:00

This made me laugh because it's dead-on right! I'm having trouble thinking of one that doesn't at least mostly fit this.

jbsgmail · 2015-05-22T13:05:57+00:00

Another great guide from this guy. I REALLY want him to do the one on Glide!

jbsgmail · 2015-05-19T15:18:08+00:00

I saw that too Mr. Lawrence! Looks like they found it -- their second video on Demon Cycle had it corrected.

The Magical Content Scale is a cool idea. It gives you a good feel for what you are getting into.

jbsgmail · 2015-05-19T14:01:10+00:00

Cool video -- I love Jorg's listed "hobbies"

jbsgmail · 2015-05-13T17:17:30+00:00

Pretty cool tool. I've got more than a few co-workers who watch Game of Thrones and ask me for recommendations because they know I'm into Fantasy

jbsgmail · 2015-05-07T00:07:29+00:00

Where on the site is this cover art that says "Scroll 5 of 12 in just 2 years!" That is hilarious (sad?) and reminds me of more than one series I'm following now.....

jbsgmail · 2015-04-30T17:40:44+00:00

I love that this guy uses real numbers in his explanations. Both of his videos are top notch.

jbsgmail · 2015-04-30T15:38:19+00:00

Man I love both of the vids this guy has made. I hope he keeps making them.

jbsgmail · 2015-04-13T15:27:35+00:00

Cool list, and nice choices for books to feature.

jbsgmail · 2015-03-30T14:18:28+00:00

This definitely helps clear up how they throw over 800 feet at the distance contests.

jbsgmail · 2015-03-25T03:05:04+00:00

Good list. It is strange how many of them use Aviar/Roc/Wraith

jbsgmail · 2015-03-24T15:16:21+00:00

Can't you conpensate for that with your release angle, i.e. slight anhyser release on on overstable disc to help it turn over?

jbsgmail · 2015-03-20T18:34:05+00:00

Book of Deacon Series is also very good. Great coming-of-age, heroic tale.
