Oh god help us they made another one. Not as good IMO.

late for meeting

I quit my sales job and got a job waiting tables. After five months of having no idea what my schedule would be, I should finally know what nights I have free each month. Hopefully this means I can get more involved and we can start planning a few meetings and gaming nights! Ideas welcome!

[Sared]

Sales is ass anyway. Grats on the new job!

Speaking of Jobs, I was able to snag a Fulltime position at Best Buy. So, with two FT jobs, leisure time is very rare these days.

Congrats on the new Job, T.

How do you not know of Ender's Game?

Let me put it this way Nocry: my mother is a professional musician who's interest in sci-fi is virtually non-existent save for a casual viewing of Star Wars or Star Trek or whatever other pop culture TV show or movie I would happen to have going in the den might be. I handed her the original Ender's Game and she proceeded to devour all 350-something pages of it overnight. For someone that's not 'into' hard sci-fi, I think that says something about Card's ability to write an intriguing story.

I will watch Ender's Game when I can illegally download it, and I will read it when I find a free copy somewhere. Fucking homophobic bastard.

I got the audio book for free and listened to it the other month. Good book! I'll probably see the movie at the movie theater.

If I chose not to consume or partake in products due to the personal beliefs of their producers/manufacturers, I imagine I'd be locked out of 90% of what's out there. If it was an official statement made on behalf of the product (like Chick-fil-a or that pasta guy) then I can understand, but Ender's Game itself isn't a statement on sexuality and there are many more people involved in making it (the crew, the actors, the producers).

All of that said, feel free to pirate away! Haha - as long as you can enjoy the movie!

Couldn't have said it better myself!

You don't need to be into the particular genre to enjoy a good book.  Great writing can easily transcend genre boundaries, and this right here is proof of that.

Thanks all.
