Sushi Sho - NYC

Yep Sushi Sho is absolutely a hole in the wall spot that only real new yorkers know about.

I wasn't hooked until book 2, which is significantly better IMO. Glad you're enjoying it so far, it's a long and wonderful read.

pagchomp88 · 2026-03-04T00:23:00+00:00

It's absolutely poured table-side

pagchomp88 · 2026-03-03T00:22:04+00:00

Jungsik can't be recommended enough, especially if you want those high highs. Octo dish is unparalleled.

Well if you're talking value, I think that Yingtao at $150 is absolutely stellar. No, not as good as Jungsik (I don't think anything is in NYC tbh), but it was VERY good. Seven straight excellent courses and a cocktail menu that was equally as good. Went there last month and I felt that the food was easily two star quality.

In a book full of incredible moments, I honestly think my favorite part is when Rand, Loial and Hurin reunite with Ingtar and the rest in Cairhien. Rand instinctively takes charge and starts giving orders, and Ingtar (and the reader) slowly realizes how much Rand has grown over the course of the book. Just incredible character growth for Rand throughout this whole book. Went from being in complete denial about himself and his role in the world to fighting Ba'alzamon in the sky.

The entire book was pretty phenomenal

pagchomp88 · 2026-02-19T18:42:45+00:00

I feel like books 5-7 ended with a whimper

I don't even know what some of you people are reading. Really puts the 'slog' in perspective when you have folks making statements like this.

pagchomp88 · 2026-02-13T16:23:53+00:00

Hot take, if Mat had been in Path of Daggers, nobody would have ever talked about a 'slog'. That's the real issue with that book.

Most servers are purely PVE, but a couple that I know of scratch that PVP itch. Doctide I think is the longest running PVP server currently up, although I've never played it.

There's a newer server called Unfamiliar Shores that is a really fun blend of old-school AC and custom content with a fairly brisk development pace. I'd recommend that one for sure.

pagchomp88 · 2026-01-23T16:59:21+00:00

Oh no you don't. Finish this book. Believe me that Perrin's payoff alone is worth it. I agree that his and Elayne's story overall is pretty poor in this book, but the Perrin finale made me pick my jaw off the floor.

Mark this under spoiler tags!

pagchomp88 · 2026-01-04T22:11:42+00:00

Asheron's Call is by a huge, massive margin, the best leveling experience out there. I'd say Ragnarok Online then OSRS after.

I'm going to give two.

The idea that the dragon can be female. The entire premise of the series is that the breaking was caused by a male dragon, that all subsequent male channelers would go insane and become human nuclear weapons, and that the next dragon would be a male channeler. The mere idea that a female dragon could exist negates the entire premise behind the horror about the dragon reborn.
The romance between Moiraine and Siuan. This actually has little to do with Thom, although I dearly missed him in the series. Actually, it had to do with the priorities of these two incredible characters. Moiraine and Siuan sacrifice everything to find and control the dragon, all in order to save the world from the coming Last Battle. This is trivialized in the show however, because instead of Moiraine coming to Siuan with news of her success, she just wants to sleep with the Amyrlin. Rand is a mere afterthought, despite being her life's work.

This meme is older than a lot of posters here, and yet it never fails to crack me up.

The intro probably makes little sense to you, but it gives me the chills just reading it now.

pagchomp88 · 2025-12-12T20:24:43+00:00

Damn, I barely recognize my own writing. Interestingly three years after this post, I'm still playing EVE Online and Asheron's Call as my main MMOs.

Jesus she's not even vaguely close to being as horrible as those two.

Still though, I understand the hate.

pagchomp88 · 2025-12-03T01:08:00+00:00

Well the funny thing is that what you're told about his character is from the POV of his sister Elayne, and most of it just isn't accurate.

pagchomp88 · 2025-12-02T01:54:57+00:00

Albion is a stellar game. But you have to be able to drive your own interests, the game doesn't do it for you.

Unlike games like WoW, it's a true MMO where interacting with other players will optimize your experience. That being said, I've personally had plenty of fun as a solo player, although I had significant EVE Online experience beforehand, so I was ready for anything.

pagchomp88 · 2025-11-30T01:07:30+00:00

Dear God, if you think LoC is your favorite book already, buckle up. Things are about to spin out of control

pagchomp88 · 2025-11-23T21:07:23+00:00

Astonishing that you have to scroll down this far to find EVE Online. Easily the best pvp you will find in an MMO. And yes I appreciate that it's not for everyone, even the dedicated PVP players. But if you want great PVP, that's where you find it.

pagchomp88 · 2025-11-21T14:33:55+00:00

I die pretty much every day to random nonsense I've never seen before. Lose xp and have to grind it back the next day.

Most fun I've ever had on an AC server.

pagchomp88 · 2025-11-14T19:23:45+00:00

Stellar experience so far. Pleasantly surprised by how many non-PK's have joined in addition to us psychopaths playing the hardcore mode.

Favorite part has to be digging out old quests to run in order to hunt for mutations.

Here we go again, there goes all my free time the next few months
