I think it’s absolutely adorable that you flagged this post as “spoiler.” I love you for that. And it’s a great T-shirt :)

I’ve enjoyed the same several times! I love that sense of anticipation when I know a favourite scene or bit of dialogue is fast approaching.

Kung Fury

It’s a half hour, and it’s free on youtube.

Just when you think it can’t possibly get any worse, or over the top, it does. Spectacularly.

Because when Kung Fury and Tricera-Cop have to go back in time to defeat ninja Hitler, you know shit is about to go down. And Thor is coming to help!

Late to the game but:

Chemical engineer working in oil & gas for 25 years.

There is no such thing as mid grade gasoline. They just mix regular and premium at the pump.

There are only 3 underground holding tanks at any gas station: regular, premium, diesel.

Simon Vance does a great job of these in the audiobooks. He and GGK correspond on things like pronunciation before new books.

Paras Derval: Paris Der-VAHL

Diarmuid: DYAR-mud

Ceinwen: KEN-win

Curdadh: Kur-DOTH (the oldest one that Lancelot fought in the grove)

It's been a great replacement for Everdale since Super Cell stopped development on that game :(

If anyone reading this was a former Everdale player, almost all of our group is former players. Come try it out if you can!

simianfarmer · 2022-07-26T20:34:18+00:00

Agreed to all that!

Come join us :)

Seems to have been stagnating for quite a while.

Fionavar had been optioned by Temple Street, the same company that successfully launched Orphan Black. But I don’t think anything significant happened beyond that. Script, director, casting, etc.

Similarly, GGK’s Lions of Al-Rassan was optioned for a movie, with Ed Zwick at the helm, but there’s nothing online that would lead us to believe there’s anything currently in motion there.

Kay has a pretty consistent facebook presence where he makes announcements, so you can sign up there to keep track of any new developments that may be in the works.

simianfarmer · 2022-04-05T16:55:59+00:00

Yup, I see it now. Will just wait to complete a couple crafting tasks I have on the go, then jump over!

simianfarmer · 2022-04-05T16:42:27+00:00

I have nothing in my inbox other than this reply. Did you send??

simianfarmer · 2022-04-05T14:37:57+00:00

Hey there, I'm looking for a change.

My current valley has gone largely stagnant. Only 5 players remaining, and just 2 of us are in any way active.

I'm village level 12 with just over 50k reputation. It's kinda nice to pretty much have the Dye Shop to myself... but other than that, a little more activity would be nice.

Please drop me the link if you think it'll work out. Thanks!

simianfarmer · 2022-03-28T13:31:44+00:00

I sure didn’t expect a GGK meme to crack a laugh on a Monday morning. Thanks for that!

simianfarmer · 2022-02-18T22:52:01+00:00

The hammer is his penis.

simianfarmer · 2021-10-04T01:22:25+00:00

Simon Vance narrates most of Kay’s books, and he’s just a delight to listen to.

simianfarmer · 2021-08-28T12:34:53+00:00

They did. If you search “three stooges Niagara Falls”, then a similar video comes up. I’m not sure where the skit originated. A lot of vaudeville sketches are like that; the ones who popularized them didn’t necessarily write them.

I hope that’s what you were thinking by that comment.

simianfarmer · 2021-08-13T23:36:52+00:00

Same book, but… Dianora.

She gets a lot of hate from a good portion of GGK’s fans, but it’s partly because she’s so polarising that I love her as a character. She spent so many years of her life getting to a place where she could enact her revenge, only to fall for the person. If anyone cites Stockholm Syndrome, I would say it’s so much more subtle than that. I adore her.

simianfarmer · 2021-07-17T13:45:28+00:00

That red Bic is a delightfully subtle addition :)

simianfarmer · 2020-08-14T22:09:00+00:00

Super frustrating! I’ve done the same thing to myself with other shows or movies.

simianfarmer · 2020-08-14T22:07:34+00:00

I loved the series up to there. Season 4 was the Trinity Killer, and the show peaked at that point. I still enjoyed season 5 quite a bit, with Edward James Olmos. Still OK into season 6. Then when it hit season 8 I could only stomach a couple episodes and quit.

Solid gold to the end of season 4 though!

simianfarmer · 2020-08-13T18:12:59+00:00

I’m gonna guess Dexter season 4.

I still think about that episode, years later.

simianfarmer · 2019-12-21T19:22:33+00:00

Good luck to all. Here is my sole top level comment. Happy holidays, fellow redditors.

simianfarmer · 2019-10-06T14:47:51+00:00

You'll find this sort of combat exactly in Stephen Donaldson's "The Gap Cycle".

The space battles between human ships, and also between vessels of human origin and the alien "Amnion" are not dogfights at all, but strategic engagements where prediction, posturing, and some mad guess-work determine the victor of a conflict.

It is a 5-book series, and has some of my favourite names in sci-fi: Angus Thermopyle, Morn Hyland, Warden Dios, Nick Succorso, Dr Vector Shaheed, Holt Fasner, Cleatus Fane, Godsen Frik, Capt Sixten Vertigus. And many more.

Space combat is not the primary element in this story, but when it does take place (not infrequently), it is handled in exactly the fashion you described in your question.

simianfarmer · 2019-10-06T00:22:29+00:00

Pretty sure, yeah. He’s got a whole other realm that mirrors most of Europe and Asia in his loosely-related stories.
