Looking forward to the next season. I still haven't played any of the Witcher series so I won't be checking it out any time soon, but there is some foundation for hope for the TV series.

September 5, 20187 yr So did they just look at fan sites and not bother auditioning him? Actually, he’s okay when he’s not doing anything touch by DC.
September 5, 20187 yr 3 hours ago, Kel Varnsen said: I heard he's a huge Witcher fan and a gamer. He begged for the role. Yep. I think at one point he collected a bunch of fan art depicting him as Witcher and was sending it to the appropriate people.

The first one is solid, it was great at the time. I skimmed through about half of it while waiting for 3 to come out. The second one holds up well even today, though its too long for me to replay. The third one...to me its easily the best videogame ever and its not particularly close. Unless you just completely hate the genre its worth buying a console to play, or better yet a gaming PC.

Eventually I'll get around to it but right now I have other things to play.
September 8, 20187 yr I'm not a gamer so I've never played the games and never will. Are the books actually worth reading on their own? I do like the fantasy genre.

November 1, 20187 yr It’s a younger Witcher. He’ll get the scars and stuff as the series goes, I’m guessing, since it’s based on the books.

November 1, 20187 yr Looking forward to seeing a neekid live Shani. If they get that right, can forgive most else.
November 1, 20187 yr The writer for this show was clearly triggered by all the disgusting white characters lulz. If you'd like to see the character Shani as a black woman, Triss as a middle eastern woman, I heard they wanted to make Ciri a hispanic woman, things like that, then this show might be for you
July 20, 20196 yr I just started playing 3 a few weeks ago and I'm already 60 hours in. It's a great game and I can see a lot of potential for a series. It's GOT with a little more magic. Also Henry as geralt is how rheagar should have looked instead of that skinny dweeb they had.
July 22, 20196 yr I need some nekkid Triss and Shani, Yennifer can get it too but the two gingers were my favorite lays, playing as Geralt.
November 1, 20196 yr Damn. Henry Cavill really lobbied for that role, and he looks perfect for it. Netflix spending all the money.
November 2, 20196 yr Man I still remember when the first photos came out and he was getting killed. Really took to the role from what we've seen so far.
