The thing with Ender's Game is that it started life as a short story, got turned into a novella, then some years later a full novel.. So it was fairly easy to trim it back to being a screenplay suitable for a film. There's what, three books as such that make up Ender's trilogy, and then the rest of the books focus on the other characters don't they? Bean's perspective and what happened on Earth after the war and such like.

Because I'm ruggedly handsome and childishly exuberant?

With the 2nd episode you have a lot more banter. Dorian making fun of his partner, Dorian setting up an online dating profile for his partner, Dorian scanning his partners testicles and offering advice because "you're backed up and you need to get laid."

Almost Human. Some potential interest to the world, plus a show that manages to get in lines like "Don't scan my testicles. Ever." While the sci-fi tends to be interesting ideas but with chunks of implausibility and near-Fringe like science.. I'd say this show is really going to come down to the relationship back and forth of the two main leads, Urban and Ealy.

I find myself procrastinating throughout the day. Ah well. At least I've sorted out a few house hold tasks and needed things, even if I haven't pushed proper work along much.

Well had a crappy night that took bloody hours to fall asleep, then kept half-waking up, before fully waking up too damn early for my comfort. Now I'm staring at the day with a general "ug" approach.

hm, I have to admit, I haven't really been tempted by the new Batman game. Origins just seems to be the same old stuff recycled without anything actually new added to the mix to make it interesting.

Hm, I'm not sure quite how to take this, but for any fans of David Weber's Honorverse stories out there.. as part and parcel of the potential movie plans, they're talking games as well. From the author's infodump the other month I'll be curious as to what sort of non iOS/Android game they might be poking around at to produce..

It can be entertaining when authors post potential snippets from future books.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VI (The Old Menace)
Raithe replied to Gorth's topic in Computer and Console
Hm, as I recall, if you've unlocked him once via playthrough, you can use credits/cartel coins to unlock him for any other character on that legacy at any point. So you could potentially get access to him at earlier levels if you don't want to have the hassle of dealing with the somewhat annoying search and find hunt for parts. I think that's the biggest shame, the Heroic (2+) parts of that quest line are pretty damn good for story and atmosphere, but the locate parts is annoying as all get-out. -

Heh, so they took a jokey internet thing, and made it the "Breaking Bad Alternate Ending..." http://youtu.be/9kZivVxB3vU

Hm, this one looks like it might be interesting.. but I'm curious how well it'll handle or if it sounds like it has a lot more options then it actually will. Of course ubi have decided to delay it's release till late next year.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQJH7055MFQ http://youtu.be/oz8AAwDeopg

Not quite as amusing as his Batman or Lopan takes.. but still some entertaining.. http://youtu.be/O2S0R0WIN40

Well, Facebook also keeps track of pretty much all websites you visit as long as you're logged in to FB. So it might just be taking note of where you're wandering..

Because most houses have rooms and corridors that are the perfect size to use a rifle without any problems... That's not exactly good for CQB is it?

Well not dinner, but I had some rollmop herrings for a lunch snack. Very tasty , but with the slight case of burping I've had this afternoon I keep getting that bit of vinegar aftertaste hitting the back of my mouth which is a little offputting.

Heh, someone talking about a better way to run a democratic system for establishing political leadership...
