I was playing the Guns of Eschaton demo on Steam and noticed this Easter egg. The game appears to be VERY heavily inspired by the Dark tower. Anyway just wanted to show this. Long days and pleasant nights!

1. Kyle Chandler como Roland Deschain

2. Tom Sturridge como Walter O'Dim

3. Tanner Butchanan como Eddie Dean

4. Lox Pratt como Jake

5. Ayo Edebiri como Detta/Odetta/Susannah

Like should it ALL be called the dark tower? Or should it have its own name? I don’t really like the idea of lumping everything in with the dark tower, I feel like our characters kinda get sidelined as it is and this just kinda feels like ka tet erasure to me…

Just wanted to post my collection here, specifically the DT paperbacks. I guess these editions aren’t particularly common? Rare or not, I think the covers look pretty cool!

I’ve seen a lot of renewed interest in the Dark Tower and Kings overall universe. I just wanted to plug the kingslingers podcast for all the people rereading or starting it for the first time. I’ve been to the tower 3 times and the last time I went the kingslingers accompanied me. The insight was incredible and they picked up on things I had missed over and over again. Check it out. You’ll be glad you did. Or you have forgotten the face of your father.

See the Mono, his riddles are lame, he’s riding the metro and his name is Blaine

Reorganizeing my books and remembered I have two copies of Song of Susannah. Which cover do you all prefer? Is there a better one?

“Oh Susannah-Mio, divided girl of mine, done parked her rig in the Dixie Pig in the year of ‘99.”

hace unos minutos descubrí que existen cómics. la idea de por si me parece regular y el arte no me llama mucho la atención.

ahora pregunto: hay alguien que los haya leído? y si sí, que opinan? hay algún cambio interesante o meh?

I mean psychics who work voluntarily for the corporation, not the breakers. I ask because when Ted first meets Armitage, he thinks he looks like a toad, and Armitage immediately replies, "I may look like a toad, but..." Later, when Ted is talking telepathically with the other psychics, he mentions feeling safer because neither Armitage nor his men can hear them. Perhaps Armitage guessed what Ted was thinking, it might just be something he’s told often. Then there’s Flaherty. If I recall correctly, he tried to enter Jake’s mind, but Jake closed the door of his mind. However, the appearance of the mental trap later on makes me wonder if I got things mixed up and it was actually the trap that had entered his mind, not Flaherty. Finally, there’s Transcorp. Sharpton mentions that they have about 12 agents capable of detecting psychics, though it’s unclear if these agents are psychics themselves, and I'm not counting the trannies from the assassination program. Oh, and one more thing, to not make another post, was Lamla a stoat or a toad? At first, it’s mentioned that he had the head of a stoat, but when Roland crosses the Fedic door again after visiting Tetcorp, he sees the corpse, and it’s described as having the head of a toad.

In ‘The Dark Tower’ when Roland is visiting NYC and in the Tet Corporation’s tower, Roland thinks: “these three men - Carver, Cullum, and Deepneau - had come together, almost magically, to fight for the rose in their old age. Their tale, the gunslinger believed, would make a book in itself, very likely a fine and exciting one.”

Has King ever hinted at writing this? Sounds like a great read to me. I bet a whole series could be written about the prime universe and the Tet Corporation’s work and fight to protect the rose.

‘Now Roland and Jake exist in different worlds, but they are joined by the same madness: the paradox of double memories.’

No spoilers for those that haven’t watched the new series adaption of Carrie. But it does add things in and for me the plot links it to Dark Tower.

There’s rumours of a season 2 where it will then utterly diverge from the book and has a fairly good change of linking in to the Dark Tower more solidly.

Ive not read any of the 3 but I saw the final book has finally come out. Did you find the ending satisfying?

I didnt like the last 2 Dark Tower books but loved the first 5 and the world. I dont want the same feeling I got from Dark Tower 7 if I read Talisman 3.

No spoilers please :)

No, I know that very few people actually claim to dislike it outright, but I also find it gets lost between Drawing - a good contender for the favorite of most people, and Wizard & Glass which is the most polarizing. Yet Waste Lands is the source for nearly all the critical lore in the story, and it has an incredible mix of action and world-building. It was written during a time when King clearly wrote and rewrote his scripts and put a hell of a lot of time into them, as opposed to the last two which were clearly rushed. It’ll always be my favorite.

‘“You used the hawk,” Cort muttered. Blood was masking his face, running into his mouth, dripping from his chin. “You used the hawk. You damned clever, damned black-hearted young bastard.”’

I want to get a ten dollar bill with the name Chadbourne on it. It’s obscure even for a lot of fans of the series. Do you think it’s too dumb?
