It's like taking a "meh" plot and making it worse.

If you want to ogle half naked women, there are better ways to do that than watching a tv show.

I think you're confusing hitting the nail on the head with being completely wrong in the aforementioned assessment of TG's books.

Remember... I have guns!

[HoosierDaddy]

Remember, we have taste.

I thought "meh" was a pretty accurate assessment. Nothing special, nothing especially awful. Goodkind's just a massive douche, so people project that attitude onto his books. In part because his douchebaggery extends to some of his writing.

[Grimjust Bearegular]

Dammit, I made an awesome post, but it didn't get posted. My comment about virgins and tits will go unnoticed...oh, woe is me!


Also, Tairy sucks.

[smurfy]

Haha missing the point aye? You bastard

I might just do that. I haven't really found too much time to be on here since getting back. But when I find some time I'll definitely stop by for a night and do something like that. For those interested of course.

Absolutely, but yeah if people want to know about it I'll definitely start a thread up and let you know some stories and what it was like. Right now I've got some pressing family matters to attend so thanks for the welcome back and I'll definitely find some time to come visit and little bit more guys!

don't go bashing ogling half naked women. it should be praised in any form and place, as long as they're hot to go with it.

also, the series isn't that bad tbh! I didn't read a word of goodkind's stuff, and I'm not really that much into the series, but at least the chick is plenty hot and that's enough. fanservice ftw!

[cerveza_fiesta]

haha...just typed "terry goodkind douche" into google.

I don't know his work well but there seems to be an inordinate amount of personal hate against the fella.

And no I didn't read the 40+ pages of this post prior to mine.

[caladanbrood]

"Inordinate" would suggest there was more than he deserved. His writing aside, the man is distinctly unpleasant.

Terry Goodkind wrote a book.
This Book was called 'Wizards first Rule'.
It involved people forgetting, rape, and the best magician ever not knowing how to be a mage as the major plot points.
It was an ok novel.
He then rewrote the novel 10 more times, based on the exact same things.
His prose and writing got worse, and his interviews got increadibly douchy.
According to Mr. Goodkind, he does not write 'fiction'.

And that, is the TRUTH.

As presented here, the Sword of Truth drinking game. Excellent stuff:

Quote

In keeping with the ancient tradition of using alcohol to relieve pain, make the obtuse clear, and the insane seem logical, I present the Sword of Truth Drinking Game! The rules are quite simple.

Take a drink \~/ every time:

* One of the “heroes” does something morally heinous;
* Make it a double if the “hero” also speechifies about how morally superior he is;
* One of the “heroes” demonstrates hypocrisy;
* One of the “heroes” speechifies;
* Make it a double if he speechifies when he should be fighting;
* Or if he is explaining how decent people should live their lives;
* A hero acts out of petty spitefulness towards a supposed ally
* A bad guy does something grotesquely sadistic for no good reason;
* A character acts in a stupid way so the hero can look better by comparison;
* A strawman political argument is made;
* Something is excessively sexual for no good reason;
* The hero's unreliable magic does exactly what the plot requires;
* One of the heroes is described in flowery prose;
* Something magical is introduced and never referred to again;
* The hero instinctively “knows” something he logically should not;
* Something blindingly stupid happens.

Added as of Book 2: Stone of Tears

* Zedd says or does something that's supposed to be funny and it's not.
* Casanova Zedd makes an appearance.
* There's excessive or pointless angsting.
* Something is unintentionally ironic.
* Cliches are used in place of characterization or description.
* Richard or Kahlan demonstrate Mary Sue/Marty Stu traits.
* It is obvious that Terry Goodkind did no research whatsoever on a given subject.

Ready? Let's start killing our livers!

The only problem is that if you actually tried this, you would die of alcohol poisoning somewhere around page 347 of Book 1, so I wouldn't recommend it.
