Is that a custom side panel?

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 21 ポイント22 ポイント  (3子コメント)

i guess technically its custom, as in i had the logo made on it. But other than that the panel came with the case

[–]JByte98 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

May I ask how is the logo made? Some kind of vynil?

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 8 ポイント9 ポイント  (1子コメント)

My girlfriend helped me cut out a stencil on some strong paper. I washed the surface of the glass and applied a frosting film.

To get it professionally done you can probably go to a glass cutter. Frosting glass isn't that bad

Well it looks awesome, one of the best pc "mods" I have seen in a while lol

[–]IllegitimateX 64 ポイント65 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Why wouldn't you just say "Look at my PC"? Because that is definitely the target of this photo, not the book.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

i thought the PC would be a better background than a desk, or the other books in the series given other people did that. I did build a better PC to play witcher after all. Two birds one stone

[–]ProDnaGamerNorthern Realms 37 ポイント38 ポイント  (41子コメント)

Why the book has the Game cover? Is that for marketing? Or is that related to TW3?

Ps. I am new here, sorry.

[–]11amasIgni 64 ポイント65 ポイント  (25子コメント)

Yes. Sapkowski hates it.

[–]killingspeerxScoia'tael 10 ポイント11 ポイント  (13子コメント)

Really? I mean back when I was playing Witcher 2 I remember reading that Sapkowski stated that the games are not sequel to the novels. So I don't doubt this statement lol.

I mean the books became popular world wild after the games were released (more specifically the third)

[–]immery 46 ポイント47 ポイント  (9子コメント)

the books became popular "in English speaking world" after the games were released.

[–]Thinsulite 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Yeah and the "English speaking world" is a hell of a lot more people than just the Polish speaking world.

[–]immery 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The books were translated to many languages before the games came out. But of course the games increased the popularity.

[–]gutigen [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

Books were translated to 26 languages before they become popular in English speaking world. Sapkowski was huge in non-English countries for a quite a while even before games happened, but hey... since it's popular in US now too he must have made it, right? Cause like, US is the center of this planet obviously...

[–]Saberine [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

It's actually pretty funny, because I come from a german speaking family and the other day we found out that my dad had read the witcher books in german waaayyyy before i started obssessing over the games. (he had just never made the connection between 'the witcher' games and the 'hexer' books)

[–]killingspeerxScoia'tael 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I guess you have a point

[–]SpaceGastropodNilfgaard 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Err no.

I'm French, which as you probably know is not an English speaking country, the Witcher series and TW3 in particular are hugely popular, and the books most likely weren't before that.

The games truly made the books become popular in the whole world.

[–]immery 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

Yes the game made the books hugely popular.Before that it was just one of many fantasy series. French translations of first books were made long before the games, and Lady of the Lake was published before Witcher 2 came out. English speakers got the books and the games together.

[–]SpaceGastropodNilfgaard 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (1子コメント)

It's actually strange that it was translated in French before being translated in English, I thought it was the first language to be translated in for any book.

[–]immery 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

It was translated to so many languages before English. It depends on the publishers, and I've read that English language ones publish less translated books than any other country.

[–]Radulno 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Putting the game image on the book makes it look like like a adaptation of the games or something instead of the other way around (and many people probably believe that). I can understand if Sapkowski doesn't like that. He doesn't really care about the games themselves, neither hate it or like them, he didn't play them (he's not really from a generation of gamers so that's comprehensible) but knows they're supposedly good games. And yeah, he doesn't consider them cannon since he didn't write the story and the Geralt adventures are finished with this last book "canonically".

[–]vitor_asAard 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Sapkowski hates the game covers on his books, not the games themselves, that's what he was saying.

[–]16stanley16Team Yennefer 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The word you're looking for is world-wide.

Dude asks three questions and this guy answers with a yes.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (9子コメント)

all the witcher books in america have cheesy concept art. That might be why some people get the Uk versions. I dont mind it all too much though. But it has no relation to the games beyond source material

[–]T1deP0ds2 3 ポイント4 ポイント  (8子コメント)

I agree on that. I like the Polish covers much more because they depict one of the chapters in the book itself, and that just makes them all the more recognizable.

[–]immery 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Have you seen some Polish covers? I can't decide which is worse Roche in Lady of the lake or Letho on time of contempt.

Let's hope you get better covers in the next edition.

[–]T1deP0ds2 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I have only bought so far last wish, sword of destiny and blood of elves with US covers. I've only seen the Polish cover of Last Wish and Sword of Destiny, and I like them better. What do you dislike about them? Or is just the 2 you mentioned?

[–]immery 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (5子コメント)

there are 5 different sets of covers in Polish.

First one is a bit cheesy, second one is awesome, third one has Witcher 2 characters on them, http://sprzedajemy.pl/wiedzmin-7-tomow-sapkowski-nowe-nr5942412 fourth is awesome, fifth is pretty but all covers look almost the same

[–]T1deP0ds2 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Oh, I didn't know that. Ok, to specify, I'm talking about these covers: http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/File:Pl_the_last_wish_new.jpg

[–]immery 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

yes they are great. I really hope they will be next edition with great covers.

[–]Abandonized 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Man that makes me wish I would've gotten the British covers. Those look so much better than the game covers!

[–]PumhartVonSteyrTeam Yennefer 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Here is polish site with covers published in Poland and worlwide (for reference).

Personally my favourite is probably fourth polish edition, but I still love first edition (I own full set of it). It has been printed on shitty paper, artwork is so-so, but it holds such sentimental value for me.

[–]immery 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I own e-books with 3rd edition covers, now you know why I complain.

[–]Malwin_ 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Game cover. Sapkowski heavily breathing Triggered xD

[–]PBanimationAxii 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

We got a shit American publisher who insists on slaping game art onto the book covers, regardless as to if it makes sense or not. For comparison, the British covers look like this.

[–]thrownawayzs [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Not gonna lie, those are some super generic covers.

[–]HarryBrodaTeam Roach 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Marketing.

[–]immery 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (0子コメント)

The book has both Geralt and Ciri in it. I'd say that's improvement from some covers.

(yes it's purely marketing)

[–]ZripwudNorthern Realms 6 ポイント7 ポイント  (0子コメント)

With a rig like that i imagine you had an armed convoy walk the book from Poland to wherever you are.

[–]termizofc [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Dude holy fucking shit. Build my next tower please. Mine looks like mums spaghetti

[–]vitor_asAard 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

By putting game covers on them they're essentially limiting their target audience just for those who already know the games, because the general public tends to step back from anything they see as "game-related". Imagine how many avid fantasy readers will dismiss a great franchise because of that. It gets worse when you categorize them under the "game section" at a bookstore.

[–]KaerMorhenResident 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

That is an awesome Tower.

[–]SeanOfLegend 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]SarryPeas 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

All the books are different sizes as well I think. Pretty grim really

[–]Exxsanguination -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Have to ask. How did you do the side panel? Would love to do that to my rig.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Well if it's tempered glass like mine you can find someone to cut it,engrave, or frost it

For me my girlfriend is an artist so she did it herself. Cut out the stencil and everything

[–]TheStealthBoxTeam Yennefer -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Nice PC. If you don't mind me asking, what are the specs?

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I7 7700k 16 3200 ram Gtx 1070, but this summer I may go to the 1080 since it's cheaper now. Or maybe even the ti if I make enough money

750 watt power source from a older computer The motherboard is the asus formula 9

The case is from lian li. Currently I feel comfortable with a 1tb hardrive but my roommate keeps pressuring me with tales of how great ssd are

[–]aHaloKidSkellige 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Your roommate is right. An ssd will change your life lol. Instant fast travel in witcher 3 is super nice.

[–]santaliskTeam Yennefer [スコア非表示]  (2子コメント)

That system without an SSD is a crime.

SSD is the biggest leap in general computing in the last decade.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] [スコア非表示]  (1子コメント)

i was afraid of them stopping working one day. Tbh there wasnt money left over really. half the parts came form a previous computer. I upgraded it with a cash prize i received. But SSD is def next on my list

[–]santaliskTeam Yennefer [スコア非表示]  (0子コメント)

Any decent (non chinese brand) SSD will far, FAR outlast any mechanical hard drive.

[–]TheStealthBoxTeam Yennefer -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Nice. Hopefully you can get that 1080 or 1080ti. How nice of Nvidia to give us Titan X performance for the old price of the 1080.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah really nice. I still gotta wait though. I only got this lucky to make a PC like this because I won some cash prize

[–]sesonel -1 ポイント0 ポイント  (1子コメント)

Holy Place shit. what case is that related to TW3?

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Awesome man! So pumped to get mine today though I won't be able to start reading it in earnest until next weekend. Will probably finish it in one sitting. Okay, maybe two. Gotta eat at some point. Anyone else gonna do another playthrough after finishing this book? Did my second one after reading the short stories and books 1-4.

[–]AzureMushroom[S] 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (1子コメント)

i held off playing through the game until this book came out. I have never seen the game with max settings since i got my 1070. I wanted to finish all the books so that i can do one last play through, and get all the jokes and references. Starting with W1

[–]Acex117x 0 ポイント1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are various ways to frost glass. Search for any of them, grab a witcher stencil and you're set

Last wish, Sword of destiny, blood of elves, time of contempt, baptism of fire, tower of swallows, lady of the lake,

If I remember correctly, there was also Season of Storms (not sure if it was a book), whose events are between Last Wish and Sword of Destiny.
