RE: Toss a coin for your Witcher

I have the principle that I (try to) always read the books before I see the films. It os because I saw, Interview with a vampire and then tried to read the book afterwards and it wasn't any fun. The other way around is no problem - That is just interesting to see which images other people can put on the tale. So I just read all the witcher novels which is quite good actually. Just finished the last one a couple of weeks ago. So now I am ready to see the show :)
My brother sent me this when it was internet-new:

Love the song! I have read a few comics after seeing the movie. Usually they are quite different anyway. I tend to treat the different media as separate things. I am reading Sandman at the moment and it will be interesting to see how Netflix do that.
My other half was not at all happy with the recent Terry Pratchett adaptation as they had changed too much, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
My daughter has read the Game of Thrones books and we have some here. I am not sure she is too bothered about watching the show. She is more into reading generally.
I seldom mind if the film and the book is very different, I actually find it refreshing when something new is put into it.
Haven't seen the Pratchett adaption, but I do not use much time to see films and series these days. I am more into books and wasting my time on the internet :) For example learning all the African countries and such :)

I watch some TV, but I am quite selective. I spend more time online. Mind you, some of the TV quiz shows can be educational. One of them has a round where you have to pick out locations on a map.
There is just so much of every kind of medium out there that it is impossible to keep up. You have to focus on what matters to you.
TV can be very educative, and internet can be trash. I just seldom use much time on television. I sometimes read some context to things that are discussed online, and I like to write with people from other places... I waste my time on politics, I think. But I guess we have to think a bit about what is happening in the world. Quarrels over a thing like this war is something that doesn't bring any good.
As for the Africa geography, I have actually had good use of it when talking to Africans. Often they start saying that I don't know where it is when they mention their country... but I do :) and that is always appreciated.
There is good quality to be found in various places. I have watched so much trash TV in my life already, but try to avoid it now. I tend to do my political rants on Twitter as there is more going on there. Hive does eat a lot of time though and I have to decide if that is a good use of it.
On the quiz I mentioned I think one question was to locate where the pyramids are on a map of Africa and some of the celebrities could not even local Egypt. I like to think I have some knowledge of other parts of the world. I have visited over 20 countries. I like that Hive is global, so I see something of other cultures there.
