    Ghan-buri-Ghan from Lord of the Rings.

    Also, I've read the first ten chapters of the first volume of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and am patiently waiting for Liu Yan to show up again after his one mention of being related to Liu Bei/Pei, and also being related to an old ruling family.

    It won't take you that long, I don't think. It's long, and Act 6 drags in places, but an archival read is much quicker and less frustrating than a serial one. And if you jive with the story's sense of humour and accept that the narrative is on the elliptical side, you'll breeze through it.
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    But being on that wavelength is pretty important, I think. It's not the pinnacle of all Internet fiction, but there is a reason why people think that. It has some very polarising aspects.

    I read up to act 5 sporadically, then it just lost me.

    I will finally do a proper read one day.

    Act 5 has Jade's ascension, Aradia's arc, Kanaya's growing infatuation with Rose, Noir's rampage, and most of Dave's best chatlogs. Which is to say that it might be the best part of the comic, period. You should read it.

    Oh hey, you started RoTK. How are you enjoying it so far? Also, which translation are you reading? I'm partial to the C.H. Brewitt-Taylor translation personally.

    Also, If I'm thinking of the correct character, I can't remember if Liu Yan shows up again, but his son Liu Zhang is somewhat important later on in the story.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat

    Aside: Part of the reason that I really like Nepeta is a thing that I feel a lot of the fandom sort of ignore, which is that for as cute as she is, she's still a crusty nerdy chick who lives in a cave and kills small animals for food. Probably has dandruff and acne scars, dried blood under her nails, soot on her trenchcoat—and god, she wears a trenchcoat! And you know what? That is wonderful.

    Sometimes I wonder if my mental voice casting of Kath Soucie for her makes any sense

    Considering that Kath scarcely does anything anymore, you could easily replace her with Tara Strong

    Melissa Fahn's voice for Ed is Cowboy Bebop is pretty close to what I hear in my head, although my mind renders Nepeta with a touch more gravel and purr.

    "Futari no Mojipittan" has become a Bootstrapped Theme for Namco in general for me, for some reason.

    Yep, C.H. Brewett-Taylor.

    Liu Yen, from chapter one. The prefect.

    I love this book. I'm getting shivers like I did reading Harry potter for the first time, or Lord Of The Rings.

    I am writing down character names and affiliations in a notebook.

    Ts'ao Ts'ao is such a lovable semi-traitorous ambition-guy.

    Poor Hsieh. Him and his brother, lead by fireflies to safety. He seems like a sweet kid.

    Lü Pu and Tung Cho, what jerks. And beat by a girl. Very sneaky, Wang.

    I should probably forgive RLM. They gave up on A Basement Rapist Reviews years ago which is all I'd really ask of them.

    I don't honestly understand why you're so hung up on that.

    Is RedLetter Media even still around? You are the only person I have heard talk about them in years.

    Like it's terrible, but

    Like it's terrible, but
    They come up on an internet critic thread I read. Now they do a bad movie variety show called Best of the Worst.

    Which honestly sounds fine. I'm just bitter because people would quote their dumb obnoxious Star Wars reviews constantly and say they belonged in a museum. And I shouldn't be. So I'm not gonna be bitter about it anymore.

    Also I came here to post about how a fantasy author I like posted in a small subreddit I participate in, which is cool.

    Ah, remember back when making fun of Twilight and Eragon was the order of the day?  When we thought it was new and clever to figure out that sequels weren't usually as good as originals, that villains were cooler than heroes, and that the book is better than the movie? 

    Back when there was a limited number of Lolcats, and you could see them all in one sitting.

    Remember, back before creepypastas, hipsters, and tumblr/Reddit?

    We were so young.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    hipsters are older than all of us, my friend.

    You know, having seen Dan vs Summer Camp, I related to it so very much.

    I mean, I'm Dan, you guys are Chris, and Camp Atrocious is Tv Tropes.

    And yes, I know how stupid that makes me sound.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I've never watched Dan vs., so I don't really understand the reference...


  • the only japanese language song to ever hit the top of the billboard 100

    It's a pretty decent song.

    the best Japanese-language pop song is "Hikouki Gumo" by Yumi Arai.

    TIL it is bizarrely hard to find a non-edited version of Simple and Clean on youtube.

    So I have this

    Remember back when installing games meant you also installed DirectX with them?

    Back when games took so long to install.

    Man, Lego island was fun.

    I have played games I got at Taco Bell and games I got out of Captain Crunch boxes.

    Also I played the hell out of the old Cat Dog game

    I have heard Chex Quest is decent, by virtue of just being a reskinned Doom/
