[Brobzoid]

hawt!

 

[Archie]

yes!

 

[Joseph Merrick]

very nice

 

[Kevtones]

Hurrah! Drive to work saved!

 

[Drinky Crow]

man, when frag starts, there will be competition to see who can make the cut for the awful start bumper clip. frag's misanthropic sneers versus my sexy non-sequiturs -- WHO WILL PREVAIL

 

[ScrabbleDude]

Haven't listened to this before, but that index looks like something I'm very interested in. Coast to Coast won't be listened to on my drive to work tomorrow.

 

[Drinky Crow]

bump

 

[Hitokage]

I've personally given up on A Song of Ice and Fire. Thanks for being a deadbeat author, Martin. Really appreciate it.

 

[Odious Tea]

Is Frag that pompous, self-righteous PC gamer? If so, please don't make him a regular. I'm a massive proponent of the PC master race and all that, but Jesus that guy lays it on thick. I don't mind him every once in a while, though.

 

[HK-47]

I've never listened to the borecast but I enjoyed this.

Also you guys forgot Good Omens, the most famous and best collab between Pratchett and Gaiman.

Excellent fantasy dealing with the supernatural and the apocalypse and how an angel and demon try to prevent it cause they realize they like existence. Very basic summary.

 

[HK-47]

Most of the best sex scenes are alluded to in any medium. Usually the drawn out stuff is their for filler or pleasure, not cause the story needs it.

 

[Brobzoid]

I don't really like fantasy so I didn't recognize to many of the authors (except that martin guy, people be floodin' the "what you reading" thread with him, I feel like), but it was good fun. Also Harry Potter was alluded to, I know harry potter. Good episode!

It'd be cool to hear about some books from Frag too once he gets going.

Also, I realize I've replied to this and the last thread within the minute of Eel posting them. That's just coincidence, I promise ;_;

Spoiler

I'm too far away to be a potential stalker anyway...

 

[Eel O'Brian]

I'm not a big fantasy fan myself, but I think I'm gonna give Joe Abercrombie's stuff a shot based on some of the stuff Doug was talking about.
