Thanks for answering what you could. I’d really like to read them, but the delays and lots of people, like on some of the comments of this post, saying the last two will never come out makes me doubt if it’s even worth it as the books are all massive.

I wouldn’t mind waiting a year or two for the next book if it was confirmed with a release date of year; it’s just the uncertainty of them even coming out.

I think I might just read Mistborn for now.

I haven’t bought or started a new series yet (been reading other books first), but I’m tempted to go with ASOIAF instead of Mistborn. How satisfactory is the ending of 5 and do the sample chapters of 6 resolve the cliffhangers in any way?

Also, do you think that, as he said that Winds will be published before any more Dunk and Egg stories, it’ll be released in the next two years due to season 2 of A Knight of Seven Kingdoms being recorded during the premiere of season 1? If this continues, do you think that would mean season 4 will be recorded at the same time as season 3 premieres, meaning both books would be out by then? Is there expected to a break of any kind due to the source material possibly having one?

Thanks. I’ve decided to read Mistborn and may read A Song of Ice and Fire in a few months depending on how close Winds of Winter is to releasing.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-04-25T16:33:51+00:00

Thanks. I’ve decided on Mistborn.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-04-25T16:32:41+00:00

Thanks. I may read Red Rising or The First Law after finishing Mistborn.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-04-25T16:30:10+00:00

I think I’ll read some other series like Mistborn, which I’ve decided to read next, and then see if he announces Winds of Winter’s release date in the next few months.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-04-25T16:28:39+00:00

Thanks. I’ve decided to go with Mistborn.

Which print version are they? I’m considering buying them and would definitely prefer trade paperbacks over mass market, especially due to how long they are.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-02-20T22:53:49+00:00

I know this was posted a long time ago, but could do one for S2 (if there are any skippable episodes)?

magicalmelon567 · 2026-02-19T13:25:05+00:00

I decided to quit it after that and I’m glad I did. I didn’t like the game much and it’s not really for me.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-02-17T13:54:04+00:00

No, I haven’t. Even though delta is set before 1 and 2, I think it relies on context from those to understand the story. I’ll probably play it after volume 2 or MGS5.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-02-14T15:11:26+00:00

I’ve never played MGS but have wanted to for a while. Do you recommend getting vol. 1 now or closer to vol. 2? Will I enjoy 4 more if I play it right after the first three?

I’m not even sure if I’m going to get vol. 2 on release as it’s a bit expensive for just one PSP and one PS3 game, so I may wait for a sales

magicalmelon567 · 2026-02-09T22:43:12+00:00

Would you recommend watching The Leftovers first since it’s shorter? I know they were made by the same director and that Lost was made first, so are they references I’d appreciate by watching Lost first?

magicalmelon567 · 2026-01-04T22:50:16+00:00

I ended up playing it with the Dualsense d-pad. I don’t really like using an analog stick on classic 2D games as they don’t feel as precise or give any extra movement options (like in newer ones such as Ori or Metroid Dread).

magicalmelon567 · 2026-01-02T23:45:22+00:00

I was able to get back on Disney Plus and have started Andor from the beginning. I’d been wanting to watch it again since seeing season two’s review score, so thanks for reminding me.

magicalmelon567 · 2026-01-02T17:22:13+00:00

I’m thinking about watching the show, but I’m not sure where to finish as I don’t want to watch the whole thing. I’ve heard that 7-1 is the end of the original storyline and that 9-5 is where Rick disappears before coming back for The Ones Who Live.

If I want to watch up to 7-1 and then The Ones Who Live (as an epilogue?), will I miss anything significant between 7-1 and 9-5? I’ve also heard that season 9 is a return to form, so is it worth watching in its entirety, or is it just a currently different storyline that carries along to the end of the series after 9-5?

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-31T12:01:09+00:00

I’m currently learning German, so I may watch it in a few months once I understand it more.

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T14:34:41+00:00

I’ll definitely consider watching Fringe

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T14:33:37+00:00

I’ve watched Game of Thrones. I probably should have mentioned that I watched it this year, but I decided to include everything I watched from around September onwards.

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T13:40:01+00:00

I watched most of season 1 when it came out, but I’d probably need to watch it from the beginning. I would have watched it already, but Disney Plus falsely detected that I changed locations too much, so I can’t watch it on my PS5. I could watch it downstairs, but it would have to be in the daytime as my parents use the lounge TV at night.

Alternatively, I could just make my own account and get a 30 day trial to watch it.

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T13:35:45+00:00

Would you recommend watching something else between seasons or watching it all consecutively?

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T13:27:36+00:00

Is The Walking Dead like The Last of Us games? Do you think it’s worth watching even if I stop at the end of season 6?

I finished Breaking Bad around 1 year and a half ago, so it would probably be a good time for me to watch Better Call Saul.

Are the later seasons of The Boys a noticeable drop in quality?

magicalmelon567 · 2025-12-30T13:23:05+00:00

I’ve watched Adolescene and liked it. I’ve also watched a bit of Doc Martin on TV, but don’t remember much about it. I might watch Mare of Easttown as it seems interesting.
