The Witcher

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Started the books. Good, and different in a few ways to the show, like GoT

First book still has the scene with Geralt bringing a dead monster into Blaviken hoping someone will pay for it. On consideration, It’s very meta open world game commentary. Encountering the monster and lair before you even get a icon on your quest log. Only in the games you can always find the quest giver eventually. Geralt never does, no reward, just more quests.

The more I think about this show, the more I like it.

I still dont know when is when, but in episode 3 they show that one timeline is when King Foltest is an adult and another is when he was a kid.

I was very confused with the wedding hall like "weren't we just here in ep 1? But wait, that's a different blonde girl, right?" OOoohhhhh

I'm on to book two, and my full shipment of books came in this weekend.

Book 2 notes that that Witchers cause magicians/wizards to have a tingly, pleasant, physical reaction when they touch each other. Basically, Geralt is a giant magical walking dildo. Makes you think. Not sure what, but makes you think for sure.

Why can't everyone be magical walking dildos?

Also kind reminds me of the fairies in True Blood.

Overall I enjoyed the journey, but I feel like we didn't get the destination.

They made me laugh at The Witcher's dialogue from the show.

Cavill builds his own PC.

He also paints his own Warhammer figures.

Why bother, just say there was a 1200-year-ago plague.
