One of my first orders of business was to do a search on the forum for Homeworld. Didn't find what I was looking for. I did see a video games thread, but didn't see anything computer-specific in it. So I want to ask: does anyone else play Homeworld, the closest thing I'm aware of to the simulator in Ender's Game? (For those who don't know and are too lazy to google, it's a computer real-time strategy game about space combat with a three-dimensional game engine. The original Homeworld came out a long time ago, when I was a wee lad, and Homeworld 2 has come out more recently. It's a great game, but has never been my favorite strategy game because I could never get all that many of my friends into it to play with me).
Other than that...questions to come as I think of them
. I'm 21 and a computer science student. The first book from the series I read was Ender's Game, which occurred when I was 12 at a visual basic programming summer camp, mostly between the hours of 10 (when we were sent to the dorms) and 3 am (when I figured I should stop reading and get sleep for the next day). I think that information probably tells you all you really need to know about my relationship with the series since.
I believe I had seen mentions to this and/or other forums in some of the books earlier on, but until last week, when I read Ender in Exile for the first time, I hadn't really put too much thought into it. In the afterword to that book OSC mentioned this forum, so I figured I'd look into it. Today was the first day I've had internet access since reading the book, and I've been looking over the forums for a couple hours. I registered at lunch in an airport in Los Angeles on a complementary wifi connection.
Anyhow, looking forward to chatting with you all. Limeade is better than lemonade, but since I just turned 21 really my only request is that it be spiked.
