I can has Deep Seaburger?

Everyone loves Activision and what they’ve done for gaming. There no way this could go wrong.

Real rugged manly men go solo cave snorkeling though. Gotta prove how tough they are.

He should pick up a hobby like solo cave snorkeling.

Nice.

Way to go! I’d be interested to see your full card if you’d be willing to share. Did you have any books that really stood out good or bad? Did you have a favorite or least favorite square? Any suggestions for the future?

I didn’t enjoy Lud-in-the-Mist, but I think that more has to do with my current level of focus. It was too slow. It was written well.

Butcher was right up my alley.

Wizard of Earthsea was the first real “Fantasy” book I read and we did it in 6th grade for class. It arguably is a big part of why I enjoyed fantasy so much.

John Le Carré is on my list, but I haven’t read him yet. What did you think?

Stranger Tides was a ton of fun, I thought it was nice to read a magic-fantasy book that wasn’t stereotypically western magic.

Wow, two N’s, and one Y, but it was not where I thought it would be.

Clayton Bigsby walked so Severus Snape could run.

If Rowling is too toxic, probably best to avoid the Eddings too. Feist’s Riftwar instead perhaps

I remember when she was popular learning that that she was like 10 years younger than me, so 35-ish.

Geordi totally has a Leah Brahms Replika bot.

It’s an older meme sir, but it checks out.

Unfortunately we are at a point where only one party can be fixed.
