Well shit, apparently I need to start checking my own website for book reviews before I start a series.

well, about Aikido, i was told, by a 3rd dan aikidoka, that aikido isn't about fighting, and that he got out of the aikido circuit, because there are more crazy people in aikido then anything else.
Such as, (and he told me this) an aikidoka told him that he could channel his ki, so that if he was cut by a knife, the blade would dull...
and that they could channel their ki to stop chokes and armbars...
crazy.
Also, errant, thats very, VERY intense. Vid plz.
Part of it is fake though because the swords START sharp but the dudes ki dulls the blades like you said so when he DOES slip up a little (hey it happens) he doesn't really get cut.
I know I don't agree with it either and think it's cheating.Last edited by vigilus; 5/14/2008 1:47pm, .

Originally posted by JKDChickI read three pages of the first book, turned to someone in the same room, threw the book at them and said "Confirm for me this dude trains in Karate please."
They looked at his bio and, yep, he trains in Karate and a bunch of other TMA's. He writes like a geek who thinks he's tough.
I read that book to the end and you couldn't pay me enough to read any more of'em. Butcher is a hack and the writing sucked 500 donkey balls. Too bad because he built a good world.
I can't really believe we're dealing with suspension of disbelief regarding a female being tough in a book about wizards and vampires and holy knights.
Also, come on, this is the geek who writes like he thinks he's tough capital of the internet.

Originally posted by DCSYou asked about good literature. If you had asked about bad/escapist (and I'm an avid reader of that shit) my answer could have been different.
Originally posted by DCSOf course without that 'I read 9 books a month' JFS'ish chestbumping parking lot reading gongsau.
Originally posted by DCSAre we going to make a list of shitty books we own/have read/in Santa's list for the winner to earn a tag in the line of 'i read shitty books'?. That would be hilarious, Poi. If you want the tag for you, no problem, ask Phrost for one. I'm not going to complaint.
Originally posted by DCSAs if reading that shitty prequels didn't deserve something more than thinly veiled insults. These 'novels' are horrid as literature and those who read and enjoy them (myself included) should be tarred, feathered and anklelocked to death.
Originally posted by DCSLike FLMikeATT said, guilty pleasures. Taking them with all seriousness about content or style doesn't make sense.
Originally posted by DCSHowever, if you want another 'Aikido sucks and it's for fa66ots' megthread, go for it. They are fun too.
Aloha, Poi

Originally posted by chardinI guess I should have added "effortlessly" to my original sentence. Karrin Murphy beats huge, tough guys with ridiculous ease.
Royce Gracie worked for his victories.

The best sci fi was written by Arthur C. Clarke, Philip K. Dick, and Kurt Vonnegut. Yes, I put Vonnegut in that category; if you disagree, you need to read more of his short stories.
I find this thread topic kind of funny, because even when I was a young lad reading Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" books many years past, I thought all "t3h d34dly" wristlocking performed by some of the characters was BS.

Chardin- Seriously dude, don't provoke Errant on the subject of non-con Bhut sechs...
He'll fuck you up!!
Literally!!
He knows t3h [email protected] sechs!!!!
So unless you want to become a sobbing shell of a human being, with a burnt out asshole and cum-shot exit wounds, I advise you to back away carefully!!!Last edited by JingMerchant!; 5/11/2008 1:23pm, .
