My favorite series is The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan, but I cannot stop loving the Sherlock Holmes (collection) by Arthur Conan Doyle. He wrote so passionately and perfectly, with incredible humor and wit, that it isn't hard to believe why he and his work is considered so highly. Particularly, "A Study in Scarlet" is an incredible piece of literature. Part II was the most depressing and entertaining thing I have ever read, and it was so cleverly written that I couldn't put the book down.

If you guys haven't yet, read just that story at least. If you don't fall in love with the wit of Doyle and his writing and cast of characters, what book could appease you man?!

patrick rothfuss's kingkiller chronicle. even though it's not even done yet. the world building is just so interesting.
book3 ain't never comin out,lol.
but that aside, The Powder Mage trilogy by McClellan is the dopest read I've had so far, and it's 10-years later series, Sins of Empire, is even better. I nominate it for best steampunk fantasy of all time.
The Stormlight archive is beyond awesome, and with book 3 releasing in November, I can hardly wait.
The Wheel of time is still one of my top 5's
and Skullsworn, a spin-of of The Emporer's blade is awesome.

Those ones are amazing, also Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn series. But my all time favorite will always be Solaris by Stanislav Lem. F%ck, that book takes SciFi to another level.

The Stranger by Albert Camus is definitely my favorite book now, but Animal Farm is pretty damn good.

Not far behind are Isaac Asimov book. Especially Fondation saga

yes, and yes! asimov made me fall in love with the Science fiction that emphasized the Science. such an admirable personality. if you haven't read his memoir, "I, Asimov", I do recommend it.

The Mists of Avalon.

I read The Once and Future King and Mary Stewart's Merlin trilogy and The Wicked Day, but my favourite book on the legend of King Author has to be The Mists of Avalon.

I love A song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin.
Stormlight Archive and all the mistborn books by Brandon Sanderson especially the ones with Wax and Wayne =)

But the books set in the Elderling realm by Robin Hobb will always have a special place in my heart, Assassins Apprentice, Liveship Traders, Rain wild chronicles etc. <3

    @BigOnYa I had 4.89 hfw on super slim that was great, but when I got a new hard disk I forgot where the guide was and could only find a guide for 4.90 and its resources
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa I think another reason to want to update is if the hfw is at the level of the fw
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    you can sync trophies
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea forgot bout trophies. They just silly to me. Just like the xbox achievements. Hey, to each they own tho.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It keeps players in touch with the game like a check list of things to do after they beat it
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa they ruined the gaming experience for me to be honest
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    @BigOnYa Im not crazy about getting all of them, i feel like I have something to show for for the time put in

    @BigOnYa If you want to do rgh or 360 mod
  • S @ salazarcosplay:
    does it matter if you update your 360 or not before trying is it advisable or not
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea I don't pay attention to them really. Or do I try to 100% a game. I just play till story ends/ or I get the girl!

    Going to the water park, see ya
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    Have fun @Xdqwerty. If you see a chocolate candy bar floating in the water, don't eat it!

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.
