I’m on a roll with this book review thing this week

From the San Francisco book review:  http://citybookreview.com/2011/11/spellbound-book-ii-of-the-grimnoir-chronicles/  Good positive review for Spellbound.

Now here is a Hard Magic review that gets it

http://www.fantasybookreview.co.uk/blog/2011/11/29/hard-magic-the-grimnoir-chronicles-book-1-by-larry-correia-reviewed/  I’m telling you guys. I get written off as “pulp” and not “literary”, whatever the hell that means, but there is no reason that a book filled with action and adventure can’t be deep. All of you WorldCon attendees need to nominate Hard Magic for the Hugo. 

Minimum Wage Historian

Here is a cool page by a friend of mine that I’ve been meaning to link to.  For a great example of this page, check out Empire Fail: Why did Rome Fall  http://minimumwagehistorian.wordpress.com/2011/11/27/empire-fail-why-did-rome-fall/  The parrallels are pretty awesome.

The magic mirror that Kitsuki Tsuze is given is one of the Oni’s Tears, a magical communication device. The players are unaware who is actually communicating through it, but it is more than likely the Kolat, a [...]

Slipstream

Here is a Christmas stocking stuffer idea for you:  http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?lt1=_blank&bc1=000000&IS2=1&bg1=FFFFFF&fc1=000000&lc1=0000FF&t=monshuntnati-20&o=1&p=8&l=as4&m=amazon&f=ifr&ref=ss_til&asins=B0040Z2LPI I’ve been using this stuff for the last year, and I can say that it is by far the best gun lubricant I have ever tried. When used correctly (strip gun, spray with degreaser, clean it really well, then lubricate) it makes rough guns feel good, [...]

The Burning Throne, Episode 5: Aftermath

Continued from the Battle of Shinjo Ridge:  http://larrycorreia.wordpress.com/2011/11/11/the-burning-throne-episoide-4-the-battle-of-shinjo-ridge/  Last week’s update featured the Hida O-Hinku, Little Miss Hida Face Wrecker, action scene of brutal Crab style gaijin clubbing.

More reasons why the Occupy movement sucks and is lame

The above picture is from when an Occupie interrupted the swearing in ceremony for newly elected congressman Bob Turner at a high school in queens. Who the hell heckles a swearing in ceremony? Adam Weissmann and three other clueless protestors, that’s who. (there’s Adam pictured above, looking highly befuddled) Turner is the guy that replaced [...]

What my D6 coauthor did on Veteran’s Day

(the crazy guys that take care of IEDs).  This is the book we wrote together:  [...]
