I've been meaning to restart the Robin Hobb Farseer series. I heard she is releasing a new one soon. Assassin's Apprentice (1995) Royal Assassin (1996) Assassin's Quest (1997) I prefer to read Fantasy, with Sci-Fi a close second. The last series I read was the Ware Tetralogy by Rudy Rucker...

Well if you have read all of the stuff already posted and need something to scratch that sci-fi itch, I recommend the Ware tetralogy. The Ware Tetralogy is a series of four science fiction novels by author Rudy Rucker: Software (1982), Wetware (1988), Freeware (1997) and Realware (2000). It's a...

I've already seen the spoony one. That series is great and I did get a kick out of them thanks. Regarding the story, how would you propose to defeat someone in the future? It's a little tricky getting there though I guess you could just wait. The problem is you only exist at the time that you...

Now right off the bat I have to confess I started the final fantasy series with VIII so it will always hold a special place for me. But in my opinion it really is one of the better Final Fantasies. The only real problem with it that I had, was the Draw system. I kind of like that magic has to...

Of course we let stereotypes guide our views. We do it for more than people too. We all have the stereotype of a dog or a sheep floating in our heads. How a dog is mans best friend or that all sheep are stupid. When you get down to it every Animal is an individual acting in the way it was...

Well here is a joke OT: People are idiots. There are entire libraries filled with things I don't know. And not everything is known and been written about yet. And I don't think anyone has the time to read all those documents in one lifetime. Thus everyone is ignorant of something. EDIT...

Obviously, It's the "isolated as possible" bit that I was thinking about. That one small chance for an invisible/elastic microbe to slip out of the lab on earth and devastate the local flora/fauna, which wouldn't be able to compete against such an intelligent foe. Why take the risk? Do they not...

"sent back to Earth, where biologists examine them to see if any harmful microbes have grown." A great idea, lets send the potentially harmful microbes back to earth. Why cant we just test them in space? Send micro-biologists to investigate/examine the modules, or just send the data down. I'm...

I also haven't seen Wag the Dog, though 85% on Rotten Tomatoes, makes the film seem alright. So having a repugnant protagonist, doesn't seem (by itself, obviously talent/actors/editors can change anything)to automaticly make a film bad. If anything it might make a film more interesting as it...

Has there been a movie where the audience found the protagonist, repugnant? Obviously some people will find some characters repugnant, like in Wolf of Wall Street (Not that I've watched it yet), while others don't.

Exactly what Fappy said. Instead of making a "movie like" trailer, make a game like trailer. Oh wait, that would be a demo. And we can't use old models of selling games. Listening to the Roosterteeth guys talking about getting burnt out on demos and games being early accessed to death, shows...

My parents are named Raewyn and Raymond. Is that similar enough?

There is a French Underground Creed style game, It's called Saboteur. Not that great but there was a lot of blowing up Nazi bases.
