Pft. That book has so many sequels there is no cannon any more. Heck, in the second book in the series there are four near-identical chapters told from slightly different viewpoints and then they... gah.
As a religious historian (though a non-christian), my real issue with it is that by all accounts it seems like it isn't just vaguely non-canonical, but actively and very intentionally anti-canonical. It seems like it was almost designed to insultingly twist around the story in the most anti-orthodox way possible.
To put it in terms of what we're talking about here, this isn't just un-canonical, this is like a Superman story where Superman goes on a killing spree for no good reason, lex luthor is a bumbling idiot, and Pa Kent was a child abuser. Its like a comic written by a guy who despises comics in order to intentionally make a point about how stupid comics are, all the while claiming that this is totally true to the spirit of the legend.
I'll snag this later. The first one was a lot of fun. Originally shared by Android Central Publisher Paradox Interactive has released Knights of Pen & Paper 2 for Android. Fans of table-top RPGs can once again get the full experience on a mobile device. We got a chance to play an early version of this game in March at GDC 2015, and now Knights of Pen & Paper 2 is available for… #android http://www.androidcentral.com/knights-pen-paper-2-brings-role-playing-and-satire-together-android
Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
Not stone giants, storm giants, and I've heard they take up way too much screen time for such a minor part of the book. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with all giants.

ReplyDeleteCome on, ASH LAW; it's post-modern meta-narrative exploring intertextualities. Get with the program.
