I don't even play any RPGs.

But my friends talk about them enough that I know what's going on.

I've never even heard of Dark Millenium.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

What is Dark Millenium? Is Club Penguin an RPG?

Warhammer 40k

Club Penguin will classify as a MMO. A sad, pathetic MMO.

I should probably know what that is.

If it has the word 'penguin' in there, it'll never be sad or pathetic.

I'm convinced of Paolini being a good author now. I mean, he had to be good to have convinced his editor to leave this line in:

"A terrible energy and strength began to grow in him. It grabbed his emotions and forged them into a solid bar of anger with one word stamped on it: revenge."

That's near the beginning of the chapter 'A Rider's Blade'.

Sounds like a soddy piece of fanfiction to me.

A lot of authors have a few grammar problems....take Stephen King sometimes. But he's also a good storyteller.

Paolini isn't a writer or storyteller, at least not a decent one.

First book. If it was third, it'd be like:

"A terrible energy and strength began to grow in him. It grabbed his emotions and forged them into a solid bar of anger with one word stamped on it: revenge."

Would be

A malicious aether & machismo divulged affirmations within Eragon-safluraoé's taoist epicenter. Thusly ensconcing his chemical reactions in his cerebellum & manipulating them into a corporeal ingot of acrimony with a solitary monoglyph imprinted upon its iridescent surface: vindictive counterinsurgency.

I laugh very rarely (well, I do, but it's more of a stupid wide grin thing, not a vocal 'ha, ha') but that made me lmao.

OnTopic: I've Read Paolini - Didn't Like Him. He's okay (well, really he's not good enough even to be called okay, but I feel generous right now), but he just doesn't compare to Stroud and the like.

"A terrible energy and strength began to grow in him. It grabbed his emotions and forged them into a solid bar of anger with one word stamped on it: revenge."

He actually wrote that? And the editor actually let it stay in?

Alright, now he's just not trying.

Is this just an experiement to see how many people will like this stupidity?
