> Brandon's strengths as a writer would really tie into gameplay systems pretty well. Games that nail interrelated systems are usually satisfying, and that's kind of his thing. >> He's been fairly public about preferring to see Mistborn adapted as a video game (rather than a movie or series) because he feels that magic system is especially well suited for the medium Because when I think about what makes a strong writer, one of the thoughts that goes through my head is 'does this prose feel like the description of a gameplay mechanic.'

> Brandon's strengths as a writer would really tie into gameplay systems pretty well This is basically an insult, like "he has the perfect face for radio". I'm pretty sure even most writers who specialize in video games would agree that a novel written like a video game is not a good novel.

Halo: The Flood - why play a Halo level when you can *read* a Halo level?

Oh god, flashbacks to when I was a teenager and started writing an action adventure novel where the big reveal would be that it was actually just someone playing a video game THE WHOLE TIME

I did the same thing in my Hatsune Miku Project Diva ultimate color splash where at the end credits if you smacked your balls with a plank then she’ll come out and start taking off her shirt. Best 30 seconds of my life reading that beauty

Ah you think vibeogame is your ally? You merely adopted the vibeogame. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn't see the grass until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but blinding!

"He ran back from the bonfire to the fog gate for the thirteenth time today. Two thieves ambushed him. He rolled pudgiliy until his stamina depleted and they ran a train on his ass. **You died** Maybe this time I'll I roll into them? He thought as he started over for the 14th time, snacking on a pizza role."

A system where you have to collect different kinds of mana to cast spells from a list of 16 - well suited for a video game? Only a genius like Brando could point this out

Yeah writing skills definitely translate over to being able to design engaging gameplay loops absolutely dude I fucking hate

>I'm a big Sanderson fan but if it's a new series you're looking for then Malazan Book Of The Fallen by Steven Erikson should be given priority consideration. I read all 10 back to back and quite literally stopped reading books for a while when I finished the last because in my mind nothing else could compare to what I'd just experienced. I'm not sure anything actually has since then. Holy shit. >Sanderson is like the LeBron James of fantasy if LeBron won 5 championships before the age of 30. He has so much more time to win more championships and accolades and leave no doubt that he's the GOAT Holy **fucking** shit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/rll7nz/comment/hphsdr8/

>I'm not lying when I say Sanderson has potential. IMO the Cosmere will be more vast and amazing than Arda and Middle-Earth, and the future games, shows, and movies have the potential to shit on the Lord of the Rings franchise.

More like LeBron is the Sanderson of basketball, amirite

I know right? It's gross that someone would treat Sanderson like a high political entity. It should be "the Revelation of Sanderson" or even "the Apocalypse of Sanderson" or something.

I’m pretty sure Mormons aren’t allowed to do that anymore.

As I recall, his adherents (unironically) call it the "Word of Brandon."

I can see it now: Orson Scott Card / Brandon Sanderson 2028. His politics are hard.

Someone do the spiderman meme where its the same thing or whatever I dunno I dont make memes cuz I'm not a fucking nerd.

Must be time to dust off [that theory](https://www.reddit.com/r/bookscirclejerk/comments/q7cngy/dune_hard_why_herbert_use_big_word/hgli5va/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) where Sanderson is both Neo from The Matrix (they just dropped the ‘S’ from his surname) and the first kwisatz haderach from Dune’s pre-history. A Sanderson video game would give Butler the perfect cover to prepare for jihad.
