Blood Rage has been my fav game for years and although I have the Mystics of Midgard I never bought Gods of Asgard and I also missed the original Kickstarter. Today the promo box from Blood Rage digital arrived so I now find myself the excited owner of GoA and alternative sculpts for the Kickstarter monsters as well as 3 new monsters!
I donβt expect anyone has experience with the new monsters yet but Iβm curious what impact the old KSEs and GoA make on game strategies, balance, etc
Does anyone have any thoughts on how the new monsters will change things?
The best I can think of is "titles", but I seem to recall there being a specific word or phrase for this. I just can't remember what it is.
Iβve read everything else Rick Riordan has had to offer pertaining to mythology and while waiting for The Tyrantβs Tomb I thought about reading the Magnus Chase series. Any important thoughts on it?
>!So I just realized something pretty big that may have been discovered already I just haven't seen it anywhere. Most people know about the Alan Wake tie-ins scattered throughout control meaning they take place in the same universe. Old Gods ...cauldron lake ...etc ..etc... but there was a song the Old Gods had in Alan Wake American Nightmare called Balance Slays the Demon. This song had a part near the end that contained a hidden message played in reverse. At the time we all assumed this was a hint at a future Alan Wake game but now ...well look for yourself... the message is "It will happen again, in another town, called Ordinary"!<
So, I've just reread Magnus Chase a second time and some things are not exactly clear. So, it stated that Samirahs mom died, but it didn't say how. Does it say or dies anyone know how? And another question: Gunilla was a Valkyrie and she was also dead. So, does that mean that einhajar can become Valkyries?

Well everybody, it's time to go into the Norse mythology and the world surrounding it, I must say, coming back to the series, I still found a lot of good but also a lot I missed the first time of reading that I've now caught due to the re-read, so I'll be sure to get into that when they come up.
Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (Includes links for all Percy Jackson Series)
Heroes of Olympus The Blood of Olympus (Includes links for all Heroes series)
Before I fully start, since I'm covering all the books in one, I'm going to change up how I write this one out, I noticed in my quick viewing of my Kane Chronicles one, I didn't really go into the characters as much as I as wanted to, so to change that, I'm actually going to talk about the characters first before going into the plot lines, so my thoughts on the characters will be as a whole series, and not just a single book, however I will still be going over the books separately if that makes sense.
I'm also putting this straight onto Reddit, I'm not going to type it up in Word like I have done for the previous entries into these threads, so I really hope the formatting doesn't mess up, with that being said, onto the characters.
I'm obviously going to start with Magnus himself, and he's a funny one, with all the POV characters we have had at this point have all been mainly based on combat, obviously Percy and Jason are both exceptional fighters, the rest of the Seven (excluding Annabeth) are growing into the combat side of being a demigod, even Carter and Sadie are both very good fighters. Annabeth is both a fighter and a tactical thinker, meaning she sees it from both angles on the battlefield and in that, she is the most dangerous of those we have seen so far (Even Percy admits that in Ship of the Dead). Magnus though is different.
He's not a combat heavy character, while Jack is, Magnus is something different, his father being Frey is obviously something that leans heavily into that side of him, it does make for a very interesting story line, us following someone who isn't a gifted fighter, nor really as a want to be one, so it's something fresh and in

Thor & Loki
Please see last week's blog for the Thor and Loki update details.
Just wanted to pop in here and let everyone know that I'm working my way through the game. I'm putting up a (lengthy) video every day of my game play. Currently, I'm just finishing up the Belfry with the blind priest character.
So while I'm sure many of you are ahead of me, if you're stuck at any part, I'll have videos available and maybe I can help you out! At this point, I'm just getting through the main story and not really searching out side quests, but I did stumble upon an entirely secret dungeon yesterday (video up tomorrow for that one) so some of that stuff is included as well. When I finish the primary story, I'll go back for 100% completion.
Hope everyone is enjoying the game as much as I am!

Let's consider that Hela's relationship with Thor is close because they are brothers, how much would Hela change in the MCU?
It was kept there from the events of Avengers up until Ragnarok right?
And Thor was aware of that.

His play in the beginning was all about over-glorifying his role in the defeat of the Dark Elves. The Odin actor's narration throughout the play talked about how it was Loki that defeated them and sacrificed himself in the process to save Asgard and the universe, ignoring that Thor was the one who actually defeated Malekith on Earth to stop the Elves.
By the end of the movie however, he's an actual hero that not only brought the ship that allowed the Asgardian citizens to escape and the crew of gladiators that saved Heimdall's life on the bridge but he also summoned Surtur to kill Hela and allow Thor and Valkryie to escape. Without his intervention, all of Thor, Valkryie, Heimdall and the citizens would have died.
He ended up an actual saviour to Asgard ("your saviaaaa is hiyaaaa") rather than an imaginary one.

Or, how hormones saved the world. Crack, obviously. Bonus points if all the magical races recognize him for what he is, only to be stunned at his behavior.
During the events of Captain Marvel, Earth, one of the Nine Realms, becomes the site of a (relatively by Earth standards) major conflict between the warring Kree and Skrull Empires. An invasion by several Skrulls and the presence of a member of Starforce, one of the Kree's most elite military forces, seems like the kind of thing that would need "defending". This seems to be a huge violation of the sovereignty of an Asgardian protectorate. Did Odin simply not notice this? Did he not care? Did he not want to risk drawing Asgard into the Kree/Skrull War?
