Stradlater Posted June 17, 2019 Posted June 17, 2019 Fantasy novels. I have in my possession some of the best fantasy series ever written ranging from LOTR to Wheel of time to Malazan to Stormlight and ASOIAF. I also used to cut pictures of cricketers from newspapers and would paste them in notebooks(those blank space ones without lines) specially purchased for it. Gollum, beetle and randomGuy 3

I'm currently reading malazan. tough going because of its scale, but very worth it. Another series I recommend is the Witcher. Netflix is gonna make a TV series but I'm not optimistic.

I have read and possess both Silmarillion and Dunk and egg novellas. I read Witcher long time ago as a eBook. Gotta revise it again lol. Have you had a chance to read Mistborn and other similar stuff from Sanderson?

Have you had a chance to read Mistborn and other similar stuff from Sanderson? yes, I do like sanderson. he does not pretend to be an ATG but writes engaging prose, plots and characters. very solid guy and rather underrated. In ASOIAF, I enjoyed "The World of Ice and Fire" as it lays out the cultures of Planetos (the planet) very well and shows lots of Lovecraftian influence. this current one (fire & blood) bored the hell out of me to be honest. I think Martin has lost interest in the Westerosi universe, which is a pity. he is, however, working on a video game that I'm quite excited about because of the creator (called miyazaki) Stradlater 1
Gollum Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 (edited) Stamps, coins, rocks (from vicinity of mines), sea shells (when I was very little during vacations, lost them all), WWF/Cricket/Pokemon cards, marbles, cricket and golf balls, comics, caps of various sports teams and brands though I hardly wear them... Except the rocks (mom threw them away), sea shells (lost), marbles (lost), stamps (gave to my cousin) have the rest even today. Edited June 18, 2019 by Gollum Stradlater, beetle and randomGuy 3
Gollum Posted June 18, 2019 Posted June 18, 2019 How many of you exchanged the cards with your friends? We had platinum, gold, silver cricket cards...I remember me and my friends having regular meetings and exchanging, bargaining over those cards (acting all serious LOL) while the moms would make snacks for us, so embarrassing to think about that today .

Cricketics Posted June 21, 2019 Posted June 21, 2019 Use to collect Trump Cards as a kid in India. In last 15 years which involved my high school time etc, I had bought many blank cd/dvds and I was actively recording as well as collecting and burning cds/dvds with classic cricket matches as well as on going games. Slowly that passion started fading away as it became tedious plus life reality set in, and also with emergence of youtube, I thought it was useless to do it now. I have many great games on numerous hard drives and discs, just sitting idle. May be someday will open that pack of disc. it just feels good to see them sitting, even though I hardly watch. beetle 1

Cricketics Posted June 22, 2019 Posted June 22, 2019 I also remember having a stack full of Cricket cards which came with centre fresh chewing gum in the late 90s. That and Tazos from Ruffle Lays. My parents were fed up of me buying Ruffle Lays and Centre Fresh that time. beetle 1
