Yeah, shoot me your best book for someone new to the universe!
Tangentially related, but are there books for the "end times" Warhammer universe? (I forget what it's called. The universe that the Vermintide games take place in.) I love that setting from what little I've seen of it.
Oh my god, book 8 was incredible! By far my favorite of the series. And yeah even though I've had such a fill of The Expanse I was still hungering for more by the end of it all.
I'll check out your suggestions, thanks! I've always been vaguely interested in the Warhammer universe so maybe it's time to give it a try.
Sounds like my kind of story. Thanks!
Honestly watching The Expanse was how I got into the series in the first place so I might check out the show first and if I like it, then get the books. Thanks!
I was so hyped for Darktide. After playing through the launch, all my hype is gone. I'll return eventually but it's hard to get excited again after the initial stumble.
If you could recommend only one for someone new to the games, which would it be?
Just finished Pentiment. It was a wonderful, miserable experience. Don't know how people can stomach multiple playthroughs.
Also just finished Doom Eternal. Mixed feelings overall but I like the idea of the counter-heavy combat system. I just wish they dialed back the number of mechanics a bit.
My current addiction is Kingdom Come: Deliverance. I was skeptical at first but man do I love the immersion in this game. The minigames like alchemy and lockpicking are fun and engaging. The combat is kind of Mordhau-lite which means it requires more thought than just spamming attack. The dialogue is surprisingly funny at times, the story interesting enough, and the voice acting is solid. And I like how the quests aren't all simply "go to the marker"--you have to actually follow clues and pay attention.
I bought Alan Wake 2 literally a day before the sale, not thinking it would go on sale. And now I'm waiting for a patch anyway because some lighting bugs were introduced in the last patch. Oops. Kinda sucks but I'm still very excited to play it!
Just to find some plot or writing style I thoroughly enjoy. I have a hard time getting hooked on books these days. I'm hoping I just haven't yet found what speaks to me.
Yeah I don't understand that decision. FOMO for a single player experience.
Also feels bad if you're only into multiplayer and don't want to have to go through a SP tour just to unlock a unique vehicle.
That whole EP is nuts. So many great tracks.
Hell yeah! I got to see Polaris this tour too. Almost didn't make it. So glad I did. They've quickly become one of my favorite bands. Currents put on an awesome show too and I hadn't heard of them before, so that was a treat.
I'd love to see Silverstein too. Sadly they're not coming near me, but maybe another time. And yeah, man... I didn't get in line early for merch and missed out on all my favorite designs. Lesson learned.
I gravitate toward dark and depressing media so much. I could probably stand to fit more hopeful stories into my life so I'll check out Monk & Robot. Thanks!
