The Mothafukkin' DRESDEN GODDAMN FILES

HOLY TITCHRIST I LOVE THIS SERIES!
I'm only halfway through stormfront though.

Yeah the series is epic, and if you think it's good at Storm Front just wait, the series cranks up to eleven and is still climbing.

Sometime after I deal with the copy of the Demigod Diaries(from another series/meta-series, I'll do the thread for it later though) and TMoA, I'll think to see if I can get a copy of the Post-Fool Moon volumes ASAP, although Codex Alera still needs more love. (Not the only one that does, but its the only one by Butcher thus far that needs it!)

Also, I found something about Dresden's past!


Why does it sound so familiar to me?
Where did I see that kind of thing if not the exact same thing, before?

I..don't know?

I was gonna show that image that was shown from the Prequel Graphic novel somewhere, except the site wouldn't allow it for now.
Meantime, back to main discussions at hand, where may we start with regards to the White Council?

The Merlin is an old bat, that while powerful is a stubborn idiot and is liable to get the White Council to tear itself apart.

That sounds familiar in somewhere else.
Not gonna say the location exactly, its just a lampshade to hang in.

What about the others of the Senior Council before we get to McCoy?

I'm glad you like it.

Anyone mind getting started with expanding on the rest of the Senior Council before we reach McCoy?(AKA Uber-Badass who trained Dresden personally and is Dresden's Superior in terms of Arcane Warfare, Skill and Fighting Experience?)

For the love of...Admiral, WTH is going on with the lack of flowing imagery? T_T

Anywho, shall we try to expand on the Senior Council before we hit up McCoy's record in particular, even though at an overall basis they're less trustworthy than McCoy is?

Lol.

I'm not offended by it, per say.
Actually if anyone tried to get a near-identical image involving Haseo(dot hack universe) above Dresden with the same kind of Response from Dresden, I'd probably find myself laughing near-death's door half-way dead if they did that.

But isn't anyone more than a wee bit worried that Potter is generally surrounded by idiots for the 1st 6 Potter-world Volumes?*

1.) (You notwithstanding, Admiral?)

he only survives the first six because of the people around him

I never implied that all of them were idiots, I was making a general statement is all, more aimed at the majority of people involved is all.
Of course if I had to hear that someone left the Dursleys to die horrifically, I wouldn't pin the blame on them personally, no skin off my bones.

In any case, I'll save the various ways I can be troubled with the regards to get raised by morons that he got stuck with, while Dresden's scumbag-for-adoptive parent has military intelligence on his side, going for him!*

1.) (Not that it excuses the horrific crap that happened during Dresden's Teenage Years, there's hellish training and then there's crossing the moral lines in there, but there it is...)

When you have a verse of people scared to say this guy's name, then you should wish for genocide.

Meh...I hear of worse, these days, trust me when I say this!(In fact I could list out worse candidates right now, but that's better off being saved for another thread!)
Although JIC, PRAY for our sake that its just 90% of the Modern British segment of this world and the other segments(or at least the Non-European ones) don't have it this bad without enough just cause to back it up.(At least the final novel and last 2 movies brought in justifications, but before that?WTH, Fudge Era!!!)

Harry Potter can't be the worst series ever written so I'm sure there's dumber baddies out there, I was just pointing out how lame Voldy and his reputation is. I don't read books so anything you already know and have shared is all I know.

To each their own, but I've heard of dumber societies in general than the Modern Potter-world's British Segment out there, trust me when I insist on it, okay?

The FoO according to CHB has more brains with their individual sub-factions, let alone the DF-verse White Council, but how much of it is due to just naturally horrid leadership levels on the British MoM's part and how much of it is due to other factors going on in Britain, I'm not in a position to answer for now.

For now, just take solace that apparently Justin DuMourne has more brain-cells than the Dursleys for Irony's sake, okay?

I recently finally obtained Storm Front. It's quite good, though I read in increments due to time constraints.

It certainly seems like it will be a great series, as supported by the reviews and ratings of the general literary populace.

There's a site where you can just read the novels in e-book form lol.

I know; you gave me the reference (thanks, incidentally).

The download was simply too... cluttered for me. I'm somewhat OCD when it comes to neatness in books.

You can read them without downloading them actually.

That's true, but it doesn't register correctly. As such, I have to download them; the downloads, however, are too unclean, cluttered, and unedited for me.

Give the CHB novels by Old-man Riordan a shot sometime if you can spare any, I promise you won't be disappointed, okay?

Or if you just want to give another series by Jim Butcher a shot, the Codex Alera universe should be more up your alley. (Shame on the lack of imagery for that series, I want to go get someone to fight Araris Valerian, already!)
