I've not really been reading anything since I finished A Dance With Dragons pt.2

part two...?

Storm of Swords and Dance with Dragons are both in 2 parts.


I'm guessing this is your first time reading ASOIF? Pay attention to ERRYTHING

I think I still have the shiny Rayquaza for you since you weren't able to get it.

I've been SRing my Soul Silver for about 4 years trying to get a Shiny Rayquay and I have a question


The first time you walk into the room, your character just walks up to Ray automatically. I left the room because I need to go back and prepare, and then I went back there and saved in front of him. Does that affect my chances, or is it only in the actual battle itself that it's determined as shiny?

AFAIK it's determined in the battle in every Pokémon game.

Speaking of that particular Rayquaza in SoulSilver, I can't get it because my brother already transferred his Kyogre out of HeartGold  and since the GTS shut down years ago, my chances of accomplishing that are pretty slim...

Ouch

Unless you have 2 DS's with HG and SS

Am I the only one who loves Gangs of New York

That film was great

I could probably get through every sharpe book in less than a month tbh, it's just such gripping reading e.e

Never heard of this series. It seems pretty long; is it worth getting into?

I would say so

The sharpe series is set in the Napoleonic era, following the titular character across most of the big battles and events that happened during the peninsular war <.<

You've got chronological and print order, chrono is probably best because it starts off with sharpe in india as an infantryman and it explains how he rose up from the ranks to an NCO, then an ensign and so on.

If you like that time period, redcoats vs bluecoats vs greencoats and big old sieges etc then I'd highly recommend it. It's great military historical-fiction and the author puts a lot of effort into his research too, with a footnotes section to explain where he took liberties <.<

If that's not to your taste, he's got a few different series too Medieval (Grail quests) and Saxon era stuff iirc, but I haven't read a single one of his books that has disappointed me >.>

The books are all pretty cheap too so I'd say give Sharpe's Tiger or Sharpe's Rifles a shot <.<

Are you up to date with Uhtred?

I'm afraid not <.<

I don't order them on amazon because i'd end up buying the lot and bankrupting myself

case in point after i got a few yotsuba mangoes from a certain friend, i went and bought the other 10 a week later <_<

so i get cornwell books when i see them in book shops and my average spend per visit is ~£100 ;-;
once a year is all i can do

but yeah, only found grail quest and sharpe books so far
>_>

m8 Uhtred is so cool tho

In Soul Silver. Not 5 years constantly and my attempts have become less frequent has time has gone by, but damnit I will get it eventually.  I WILL NOT GIVE UP. WHEN I GET IT I WILL BE SO HAPPY.

A few of my friends have caught shiny Legendaries pretty easily and it's pissing me off, I have yet to catch one.

Mark my words.

I.

WILL.

GET IT.

Eventually.



UPDATE: FINALLY. FUCK YES. FUCK.

So uh yeah discussion, uhh... Have you caught any shiny Legendaries?

One thing that I found different between multiple playthroughs was actually in the grinding. Since your skill at the game increases, the large soul dropping enemies (bosses) become easier, and the progression is more straight through without as much grinding. Even if you don't have the stats from pure leveling, your skill can weather down most bosses once you know their shtick. That's when I started enjoying the game most.
 
When I play now, I hardly do any grinding, but when I first started I did a lot of grinding because the challenge of the game encouraged that playstyle. I cautiously approached everything and wanted to prepare myself for every encounter, my paranoia and low skill fed a desire for getting more levels, hence souls and grinding.

The only reason I grind is to get enough Souls to level up my equipment

Bernard Cornwell's stuff is fucking great, especially if you're into history. If you don't feel like reading the Sharpe stories then maybe check out his Warlord Chronicles and The Saxon Stories, too.


Warlord Chronicles is only 3 books long and about a knight in King Arthur's army.

Saxon stories is on about 7 books now with more to come, about a badass viking who turned to fight for England, and it's got its own tv adaption that actually did well.

I don't wanna waffle on but they're sooooo goooooooooooooooood.

I'm reading A Game of Thrones again, making sure to pay more attention to the small details and tidbits. Character's dreams are really interesting to look into. Especially Jon's and Bran's.

I really, really enjoyed Band of Brothers and I heard The Pacific was made by the same people, is it any good? I might give it a watch
