I'd say it's worth it to start now. Sanderson is writing at a blistering pace right now and doesn't seem to be slowing down. Mistborn and Way of Kings are in the same universe but separate worlds. I don't want to spoil t

Brandon Sanderson is my go to recommendation for fantasy nowadays. Mistborn is a great place to start but The Way of Kings is the real meat and potatoes. He also links all these books together in the same universe and it's fun to notic

LiveLeak was the only video site that still felt like the wild west. If I was ever linked to a LiveLink url I knew something crazy was about to happen. I'm sure serving this kind of content had its hurdles legally. And running a video
