Okay seriously. I need someone to gift this to me.

So yeah.

I'm kind of glad that AT&T has chosen the best possible first target in the net neutrality war. Because after this, I'm sure no other ISP will attempt it again for a very long time.

Edit: False alarm, as it turns out. AT&T was actually trying to fix something. If you believe it at least. Oh well.

Thrall: "I need to go to Theramore to talk to Jaina and King Wrynn."
Garrosh: "I think I'll go with you."
Thrall: "I don't think that's such a good idea-"
Garrosh: "I'm sorry. I couldn't hear you over the dying screams of my father, Grom Hellscream, the orc who single-handedly saved our people from eternal demonic servitude. What was that you said?"
Thrall: *sigh* "Nothing."

Also, I really agree with this post.

For being a licensed, Blizzard novel with a horrible, unoriginal title, I, Mengsk is surprisingly really good. It's a good book in general, but in the ranking of Blizzard titles (except that I've skipped the Diablo universe), it's one of the best.

While knowledge of the characters and setting are useful, they aren't actually required. But perhaps knowing who Arcturus Mengsk is -and what an evil bastard he is- does help, because you loathe yourself for caring about what happens to the character. The author in a splendid way makes you love and hate him at the same time -which is actually who the character is.

I wish it was longer. The book is divided into three parts: about father, son, and grandson, but each part could have easily been its own book. (Blizzard's made trilogies out of worse stories.) Since three generations are covered, the book skips ahead over vast stretches of time, and even in the most suspenseful of places. A clever literary tactic I'm sure, but I wanted to see more of certain stories and characters fleshed out. Like Achton Feld, Angelina Emillian, and the characters in Dominion Section. A lot more time could have been spent with Arcturus' time in the marines in general.

No aliens. Well they don't show up until the last couple chapters at least. It's more about history and politics. But I've always thought you could take the aliens out of Starcraft and it would still be interesting. It is.

And yes, Jason Hayes needs to narrate the audio book.

Also, Frontline is a really good Starcraft fiction right now.

It seems clear by now that Jim Davis is simply writing Garfield comics just to make into more G-G strips.

And I am glad.

This came today.
