The Witcher (Page 1 of 2)

I wouldn't call them flashbacks, just three separate storylines until all of them met up at the end.

You have been banned from this thread for mentioning that which shall not be mentioned!

My apologies. I did not mean to bring up Fight Club

I would like to award best "Fuck" ever said on TV to Geralt of Rivia after some Law of Surprise shenanigans.

I just could not get into it. Looked like a watered down version of GOT visually. Stopped after 10 minutes. Lost in space is more interesting to me. More episodes to boot.

The seminal research on delayed gratification – the now-famous "marshmallow experiment" – was conducted by Walter Mischel in the 1960s and 1970s at Stanford University.
[...]
The children who waited longer, when re-evaluated as teenagers and adults, demonstrated a striking array of advantages over their peers. As teenagers, they had higher SAT scores, social competence, self-assuredness and self-worth, and were rated by their parents as more mature, better able to cope with stress, more likely to plan ahead, and more likely to use reason. They were less likely to have conduct disorders or high levels of impulsivity, aggressiveness and hyperactivity. As adults, the high delayers were less likely to have drug problems or other addictive behaviors, get divorced, or be overweight. Each minute that a preschooler was able to delay gratification translated to a .2% reduction in Body Mass Index 30 years later.

Sure, we all know and love the mutants and mages of The Witcher, but there’s one group we don’t pay enough attention to: its amazing monsters. Here’s everything about them in one giant bestiary — from their mythological origins to their (many, horrifying) ways of killing Geralt. After seeing all he has to deal with, maybe toss an extra coin to your Witcher?
