-when you start talking to your friends about the first and second invasions and they start giving you weird looks because they dont know what youre talking about -youre friends tell you that the buggers are not real and you feel the violet urge to tackle them -everything you write or talk about in ...

true, but then are they even human anymore?

like Bean for example. he believed that he wasnt really human because of anton's key. if that is how we define humanity, humans who adapted to descoleda would no longer be human

ptr.arkanian

would you prefer if i used a different word?

ptr.arkanian

wow, that is extremely interesting. volescu probably did create descoleda if that is true. but volescu's original plan was to replace the human species with a smarter form of humans like Bean, why did he create descoleda? Descoleda did not take over and change humans like it did to the piggies and o...

who said anything about gay marriage? OSC created Ender therefore he created Ender's prospective so a book written by "Ender" would technically be written out of OSC's creation either way

i didnt say i have faith in adults. i believe they look at the "bigger picture" alot more than kids do. but that isnt necessarily a good thing. especially in war or military training, it is much more important to live in the present and face the current issues than to worry about what is t...

ptr.arkanian

hmm interesting..
sounds lk a good book
cant wait to read it!

ptr.arkanian

i dont know if i agree that he didnt try to cling on to power he did create a fake identity so that he could become a more important, more powerful influence in the world. he also didnt want the world to find out that Locke was really a young american college kid because he was scared of losing powe...

in my opinion, the darwinistic system only worked at battleschool because they were kids. because kids are selfish. they want to survive and they think little to nothing about helping the people around them. adults on the other hand wouldve thought of the bigger picture and wanted to help their fell...

ptr.arkanian

to add to what jeesh girl said about the kids trusting each other, i believe thats another reason why they used kids. adults tend to think things through too much and most adults dont find a person trustworthy until they are sure they know them. because kids trust eachother so much more easily, it w...

ptr.arkanian

didnt he only want to understand them because they always say you need to understand your enemy? sorry, maybe hate is the wrong word for that. so yes, understanding makes sense. as for Peter's history, i honestly think The Hegemon should be written because it would explain why Peter II who was creat...

ptr.arkanian

oh alrite... i had heard it was science fiction... or has hints of scifi in it

either way i look forward to seeing it thanks!

Ela couldnt have known for sure how old the virus was because the zenologist never really found a way to communicate with it. Volescu already wanted to replace the human race with a smarter, shorter-living species like Bean. it wouldnt be suprising at all if he had created the descolada.

ptr.arkanian

has anyone seen the movie yet?? is it worth seeing?? i think i would like it because its science fiction, but i havent read the book yet. should i read it before seeing the movie?

ptr.arkanian

yeah i think your right that noone has gone beyond lunar orbit before. and thats not null-g because of the gravitational pull toward the moon correct?

but if we could replicate something close to that in just a room on earth, it could be a sufficient type of battle school

ptr.arkanian

i say bean all the way. he might have been second in command to Ender, but Bean was the one who gave Ender the confidence to continue on during the "exams". also, Bean was the only one who figured out "the game". He was smart enough to understand what the teachers were thinking a...

god dammit...suspence is killing me

ptr.arkanian

No one here thinks it should be written? i mean that was a beautiful answer and i completely agree to a certain extent. But, isnt anyone interested in seeing what Ender couldve possibly written about his brother who he only knew as an evil tormentor in his childhood, but who also later went on to be...

i think its easy to say that OUR reality is definitely not in video games... if you this COD and Left for Dead are real you need to seek mental help immediately.. whereas, in Ender's case, the video games are like real life scenarios. kind of like i would compare it to grand theft auto or a game of ...

ptr.arkanian

true, and i guess the fact that there is such a large grey zone is what makes this book so good...

planning to see the midnight premire and probably dress up like the sci-fi nerd i am. but, WHEN IS IT COMING OUT?????????????????????????????????? its been an idea and in the making for so long the suspence is killing me!! last i heard it was like march of 2011, but now im not even sure if itll make...

Volescu becoming the descoledores is very possible.... [quote]Okay, first of all. Bean loved Petra. I can't remember the exact quote but it was something like this "If you don't get pregnant, we'll have kids the old fashioned way" been actually loved Petra enough to have kids with her. Eve...

yes but she cancelled her call for a speaker 3 days later

maybe they wouldnt have had ender, but novinha didnt want ender to come anyway. she didnt even want to have anything to do with him after he got there. if she had married Libo, they wouldnt have needed ender, they would have known more about the piggies, and Miro wouldnt have had to jump the electri...

ptr.arkanian

but heres another question, is the IF necessarily good? after all, they do get their hands involved in alot of things that arent their business. they arent even supposed to get involved with Earth affairs at all. so politically speaking, the IF backing Peter shouldnt have been good at all

ptr.arkanian

i reallly realllly realllly want to go to battle school. a school full of kids that are all that smart would be an amazing thing to witness, plus this is military training like no one has ever seen before. when i think of the game, i envision a sort of null gravity lazer tag but the lazers freeze yo...

ptr.arkanian

wow....the idea about Bean becoming the descoladores is far fetched but in a certain way it would bring the story full circle. the only problem with that is that Bean was always there to help humanity and get rid of his own species. it would not have been in Bean's personality to want his species to...

...i hate my elbows is that random?

ptr.arkanian

any ideas as to when its coming out??
its been rumor for such a long time and its been a really long wait.
i hope its good, but even if it's not, i think every EG fan would like to see what OSC does with a screen adaptation of this book. it will be extremely interesting and i cannot wait

ptr.arkanian

Star Wars? Im a huge fan and I figure people who love EG love sci-fi and Star Wars truely defines science fiction.

i remember clearly in Shadow of the Giant, Peter converses with Ender once over ansible and Peter does read the book, the Hegemon, before he dies. Petra also reads it to him over his grave.

i say evolution all the way. i was raised catholic and forced to go to church, but i dont go for that s***. because if that adam and eve crap were true, it means were all related. therefore, we should all be mutated because we were created out of insest. on the other hand if you consider evolution, ...

just a quick question...

does anyone know if it is actually (physically or scientifically or whatever) possible to create a null gravity room on earth or anything close to 0 gravity?

ptr.arkanian

[quote]Petra loved Ender but couldn't have him because he was dealing with his own inner demons. But look, there's Bean! [/quote] i dont agree that Petra only "loved" Bean because she couldnt get to Ender. It's not in Petra's personality to give up just because Ender was "dealing with...
