First of all, I have to say that I don't like reading hardcover books. They are large and cumbersome to hold, especially when they have thousand pages like A Dance with Dragons, the fifth book of A Song of Ice and Fire. Paperbacks wear and tear easier but they are so much comfortable. And cheaper, too.

Where Trees Are Square, Part 4
Welcome to Greycliffe. I've been building it ever since 1.0 came out. I'm not sure if it's bigger than my previous project, but there certainly was more building in this one. And all those stonebricks did not make themselves -- once again, everything was built on Normal from start to finish. And I think I did get this in a more finished state than Stoneforge.

Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine is a third person shooter/action game from Relic Entertainment. It has a linear and predictable storyline, though that is to be expected from a Wh40k title; no plot twist should surprise you in this game. Just sit back, smash them up, and enjoy the blood splatter and shiny particles spraying everywhere.

A Song of Ice and Fire: A Feast for Crows
A Feast for Crows, the fourth book of A Song of Ice and Fire, wasn't as aptly named as I maybe expected. The title phrase is mentioned but it was more a promise of things to come rather than any special event.

Baldur's Gate Soloed
I actually started this playthrough quite a few months back but it got interrupted by something (probably Mass Effect 3). Last weekend I launched the game again, however, and finished my solo adventure as an Elven Fighter/Mage/Thief, the same kit I used in Icewind Dale.

The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
For The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings, CD Projekt RED developed their own game engine. And with it they created one of the most beautiful PC games there are -- at least if your machine is up to the task. Mine was not.

A Song of Ice and Fire: A Storm of Swords
The third installation of A Song of Ice and Fire, A Storm of Swords, is so far the longest book in the series with more than 1100 pages. Towards the end, the early events started to seem so distant that I was mixing them up with those of the second book. Luckily, Wikipedia has a quite thorough plot summary of the novel.

Micro
I rarely read novels outside the fantasy genre. However, if a book is handed to me, I will likely read it regardless of its setting. Micro was one of such cases.

The Wheel of Time: Knife of Dreams
Once again the title comes from an excerpt from a book/prophecy in the world of The Wheel of Time. And once again it has little and everything to do with anything in the book. I guess a generic name is the only way to go when there are so many separate storylines to follow. The eleventh book, Knife of Dreams, splendidly ties a handful of loose ends together and even has the decency to continue from the cliffhanger the previous one left Egwene al'Vere in. Well, after the hundred-page prologue anyway.
The Wheel of Time: Crossroads of Twilight
The tenth book of The Wheel of Time didn't receive too praising reviews; Crossroads of Twilight goes through already occured events through different viewpoint characters. And it wasn't all that exciting. Or that's what I accidentally read beforehand on Wikipedia.
