Hm, well sounds like you go thru lots of media fast.

Ive been playing Hitman2 lately. Older game but I missed it when it came out. Kickass though.

Other games I've found worth your time would be Neverwinter Nights, all the hoopla and hype is true about that one.
I enjoy Majesty and Majesty The Northern Expansion also... pretty fun RTS game but with an entirely different twist to them. You don't control your henchmen. Its good, esp if your tired of traditional RTS like I am.

Thats been plenty of games for me until HL2 comes out.

EQ is classic fun if you've got some friends that play it... start some new lvl1s and group together.

I'm still finishing up college so homework keeps me busy most of the time.

Books. I read lots of books.

<b>Ender's game</b> - Orson Scott Wells
<b>Ringworld</b> - Larry Niven
<b>A World Out Of Time</b> - Larry Niven
<b>Protector</b> - Larry Niven

Larry Niven is the best Sci Fi writer of all time, folks. His universes are so detailed and complete that he can make you laugh along with jokes about the state of things in his future world. But he's known primarily as a "hard science" fiction writer. Check out the books, you won't be sorry. 😎

ender's game is by orson scott CARD, hehe. yeah i've read that whole series, including the one about bean, except for the newest one, shadow puppets, speaking of which i need to email my friend about borrowing that.......

Enders game was very good...but I didn't enjoy the following two nearly as much. THose little piggies really creeped me out. And the way those obsessive compulsive Japanese people were exploited made me mad...
LE Modesitt Jr.'s Recluse series is also very good.

Also a coward...pass the nachos

I haven't heard of an engine rebuild for System Shock2 but Etienne Aubert has produced some nice high-res models for SS2 (link below).

"Stranger In A Strange Land" by Robert Helenian???sp
Written in the mid 50's, is considered the sifi bible by some.


No Cats or Geese where actually harmed in the making of Might & Majic IX

Hehehehehh, Orson Scott Wells. :tongue:

 

[Ris3n_Da3mon]

i don't know i liked the thought provoking-ness of the other 2(3?) but he did start a new series with the ames characters for the battle school place, and the first three focus on what bean did in battle school, pretty much the same time line as enders game, but from bean's perspective, and what happened to him. then the other books go into what happened to him after he got out of battle school. i thought they were really good.

 

[Ris3n_Da3mon]

i heard the name before but i've never heard much about it, or hwat it's about. i'll have to look for it 😀

Stano, it was published in 1961 so you were very close.
SiFi bible for me no, for the people just getting in SiFI it was, but a great book anyways. For me the SiFi bible would be "Brave New World" written in the 1930s by Aldus Huxley. Maybe HG Wells, Jules Verne.

"Stranger in a Strange Land", by Heinlien to me reflected what was going on in the Beatnik world which became the Yippie or Hippie world. Very good book, good SiFi but more of a comment on what was happening in the late 50's early 60s in the world.

A series I just read was the Clash of the Kings, triology, I cant find the books now for the authors name. It was a good fantasy book.

the Prisoner

Will Rock full game is pretty good, much more than the demo, its a Serious Sam type clone.
