After just finishing reading Enderâ€™s Game for the first time, Iâ€™m not enthralled with the novel. However, Iâ€™ve found that the science fiction genre has been a bit more challenging for me to read, as it doesnâ€™t really hold my attention. With Enderâ€™s Game, I think itâ€™s possible that I may...

So there's this thing that many action videogames do these days..., I call it the "delay and bum-rush" technique. Basically the game finds a reason to keep you trapped in one place for x amount of time while you are assaulted with wave after wave of enemies. Maybe your "partner" ...

Elsiane - Hybrid

Elsiane is touring with Delerium at the moment. Caught their show a week ago, bought Elsiane's CD and have been hooked on it ever since.

So, just out of curiosity, how many of you ladies would be okay with dating a shorter man? Conversely, how many guys would date a taller lady?

I would *love* to date a taller woman. Unfortunately, with my height the chances of that are slim to none.

Neal Stephenson - Anathem

(oh, and Phil Hellmuth's Hold'em Poker book

)

When is it coming out, again?

UnnDunn

That's neat. It never occurred to me that the lake was a real place. Of course, when I first read EG I didn't realize that Eros is an actual asteroid either. What's next, Lusitania is real too?! Isn't Lusitania a historical battleship or something? I remember seeing part of a special about it on th...

This was a triumph. I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!!

I'm sorry, but I heard that song once again tonight, and it's completely lodged in my brain now.

Fringe was boring until the last half-hour.

I can't wait for Knight Rider.

But it's all just an appetizer. 24 is the main course next January.

I hate people who spit. Especially on the subway.

Are we sure this is an actual TV series, and not just a series of TVs?

My boycott of Myspace started the second I heard about the site.

Finished The Caves of Steel. A little disappointed in the conclusion; it felt a little cheap compared to other Asimov books. But it was still a very fun read.

On to The Naked Sun.

Congratulations!!!

In New York, being chivalrous will get you killed. Or at least it'll get you a funny look or two.

I don't know... I read the entire shadow series in 7th grade, and loved all the political maneuvering and such... I don't understand why everyone likes SftD better. Yes, I know its completely on a different standard than EG. Still, EG strikes me as more... actionful? not so philosophical and somewh...

Would the Robots in Time series be the one that is sold as a single volume called I, Robot whose current edition has Will Smith on the cover? Because that's the book I read recently. I understand there was a prior I, Robot that was completely different...

I think I'm going to have to read/watch all of those books/movies now. Except for Star Wars. Because I avoid anything Star Wars as a general rule.

I'm rereading Asimov's Foundation trilogy but this time I'm going to also read Foundation's Edge. Can you believe that there are a lot of people who have never heard of Isaac Asimov? Seriously! Gah. I loved Foundation (the first trilogy; haven't read the second trilogy yet.) I've probably said this...

The minute you force someone to read/listen/experience any form of art, you've tainted it for that person, IMHO. One of the joys of art is the independent discovery and exploration of it. Telling kids what books to read isn't even the problem. The problem becomes when you tell them how to read them,...

Currently ploughing through Asimov's Robot series... enthralling stuff. I'm on The Caves of Steel now.

Cut me some slack, I just discovered my inner Sci-Fi bookworm last year, I have to cover all the basics.

I think a huge part of the problem is simply that some of you read EG back in the 70s or 80s and then read ES in the 90s (or whenever it was first published,) so it's almost like the Ender quartet and the Bean quartet are two completely different sagas that happen to involve the same characters. I r...

I loved it, but I thought it asked a little too much of the viewer, maintaining such a high level of intensity for such a long time. Could have used an intermission. Fun fact: those ferries? Yeah, those were Staten Island ferries, repainted (or stickered) to say Gotham. I used to ride those ferries ...

I hate you. Deeply.

Oh, you can check out my Zune profile, which lists all of the songs I listen to on my Zune. Though it hasn't been updated in about a week, and won't be updated until at least the 26th.

The correct answer is "Soda". Anything else is flat wrong.

First five songs to come up after selecting "shuffle all" on my Zune: Daft Punk - Too Long/Steam Machine ( Alive 2007 ) Tony D. - Piano Grand ( Mushroom Jazz vol. 2 mixed by DJ Mark Farina) BT - Cop Killing ( Music From and Inspired by the film Monster ) Jada - Another Day [Strings] ( Perf...

What is that picture in the top left corner supposed to be of, anyways?

UnnDunn

I think we're in agreement.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this, I wanted to re-read Xenocide before ommenting further.... And they clearly must have been trying to communicate/enslave him before the final campaign, since they were involved with the Fantasy Game when Ender was still in Battle School. See, this I absol...
