Xi Mishikani	Posted - 2007.07.11 08:13:00 - [1] I just watched the introduction story again, and it left me thinking. Would it make a good story for a movie? Not only 1 movie, but multiple movies. Before the 'Firefly Fanatics' start getting excited or start condeming the idea because of Firefly and other such premises. I have to hand it to CCP, they created an excellent back-story which is usually quite rare in the gaming world. Not to mention the fact that they could probably afford to make one. If you haven't watched the intro yet, do so. If there ever were to be a movie of EVE, who would you like to be involved in order to make sure it matches the game's reputation? Now, for those that are wondering what the heck next year's "Ender's Game" movie has to do with EVE/CCP aside from the idea of space-age movies. For those that know the story, wouldn't you think CCP and the EVE Developing team would be ideal candidates for creating the simulation 'games' that eventually end with Ender defeating the "buggers"? The way my imagination drew the picture while I was reading it, it really resembled what EVE is. Anyways, even if CCP has the money to put the introduction story to the big-screen, I sincerely hope they don't. Because as a fellow corp-mate of mine put it: "The week after the premiere: Status: You are in queue #3,645,439." Plus, can you imagine what Jita would be like with 10's or even 100's of thousands of people? HAH! L8z!

Xanos Blackpaw Amarr The Firestorm Elite	Posted - 2007.07.11 11:17:00 - [7] reed 'Empire from the ashes' by David webber. its almost as kood as 'Enders game' ^^ Playing minmatar is "like going down a flight of stairs in a office chair firing an Uzi".

It's good, but I think they need a voice actor who can say "s" properly, and not something between "th" and "s"... It's annoying

And don't forget about Heinlein and Pournelle. Arthur C Clarke. I remember reading an Alan Dean Foster book and he made one comment that made me chuckle. As the main character landed on a planet he mentions that he hated to go to this one in particular because of the smell. I realised "Of course!" no planet would have the same air compostion, every single one of them would smell different, just like when you enter someone elses home.
djenghis jan Amarr Debiloff's Vanguard	Posted - 2007.07.11 11:50:00 - [11] A very very nice book is a fire upon the deep by vernor vinge. I like those hardcore books. But to get more of an idea what a society could be like i would say the jack vance books are also nice. cheer-s
Andargor theWise Collateral Damage Unlimited Hammer Time.	Posted - 2007.07.11 13:08:00 - [12] I have read many books which I consider the best of all time. Actually, hundreds line my bookshelves. My most recent discovery is Iain Banks, and his Culture books. Highly recommended. You might find yourself naming your ships the way he does. - Got grief? Revelations MySQL Database
Jastra Gallente Gallente Venture Inc Daikoku Trade Syndicate	Posted - 2007.07.11 13:17:00 - [13] Try Charles Stross, Accelerando, blew my mind Also I've been reading some of the old classics that were re-issued recently and Earth Abides struck me as a great book. Enders Game was ok, I am suprised they made it into a movie though For a great space opera romp Peter Hamilton has been hard to beat lately
Ithoriel Amarr Royal Amarr Institute	Posted - 2007.07.11 13:40:00 - [14] What? No mention of C. J. Cherryh's "Alliance-Union" novels? Keep meaning to check if there is a Conrad Mazian or Signy Mallory in game and if I ever wind up flying a carrier in EVE it's just got to be the "ECS Norway" Ithoriel (sometimes Captain of "Finity's End") Growing old is mandatory, growing up is entirely optional

Sertan Deras Merch Industrial We Are Nice Guys	Posted - 2007.07.11 18:47:00 - [17] The funny thing about Ender's Game is that it's the start of a series most people have never read the entirety of, and there are other books in the series that are better and deeper (I am a fan of Speaker for the Dead myself). Ender's Game is a great book, but it's really just the tip of that stories iceberg.

Ender's Game is a great book, but it's really just the tip of that stories iceberg. Agreed. Interestingly enough, Ender's Game is used as an example of how to lead and not to lead at military academies. Too bad the fact that the Enemy's gate is down doesn't apply quite yet. ------------ ULTIMATE LAG SOLUTION IBTL! IBDS/DC! IBTC! 1st in a BoB post! And other such forum tom-foolery.

Ender's Game is a great book, but it's really just the tip of that stories iceberg. My favourite is 'Jane', the entity that was accidentally created because of the philotic connections of faster-than-light communication. Orson Scott Card has a big influence on the production of the movie, so who knows, if Ender's Game works out, they may make the others into movies as well. The movie is supposed to combine "Ender's Game" and "Ender's Shadow"...which doesn't sound half bad to me.
Resetgun Caldari Howling Griffins	Posted - 2007.07.11 19:23:00 - [20] Originally by: Niccolado Starwalker Originally by: Achuramale Way to spoil one of the best sci-fi books... The 3 best sci-fi books through all times and epochs: Frank Herbert: Dune (Plus the series) Isaak Asimov: Foundation series Philip K. ****: Do Androids dream about elextric sheep? (aka Blade Runner) My 0.00002 isk Funny... I have never thought Frank Herbert's Dune series as scifi book... more like fantasy book. (Too many mystical-magical elements.) WebScription Ebooks have lot's of cheap and also free (check free library section) scifi and fantasy e-books that you can read when flying your freighter from Jita to some far system... For example David Weber's "In Fury Burn" is nice brutal militaristic scifi book with "some" fantasy elements (Weber's Honorverse books are also similar - without fantasy elements). Weber definately is not Shakespeare, but his books are pretty entertaining and time used to reading Weber's book, is way better used than watching TV "entertaiment" for simpletons. Of course, I would rather use my time for real hard core scifi books that would be also entertaining... My 0.01 isk.

MacDuncan Minmatar Asgard Schiffswerften Ev0ke	Posted - 2007.07.11 19:25:00 - [21] oO They are going to make a movie about Ender's Game??? Orson Scott Card's Ender's game?? -- Might As well Train Another Race
Haradgrim Caldari The Wild Bunch KA0S Theory	Posted - 2007.07.11 19:48:00 - [22] In my oppinion, the 5 best sci-fi authors of all time (I agree with Dune being fantasy, so is The Left Hand of Darkness, etc): 1) Asimov - Foundation, Robot series, nuff' said 2) William Gibson - I am shocked no one has mentioned Neuromancer 3) Arthur C. Clarke - The Rama series, Childhoods End, 2001.... someof the most classic sci-fi in existence. 4) Neil Stephenson - Snow Crash and The Diamond Age were two of the most fun, interesting, sci-fi novels I ever read. 5) Aldous Huxley - Brave New World, one of the most important, relevant and insightful books ever written let alone of the sci-fi genre.... Honorable mention: George Orwell for 1984 my 2iskies That.which.does.not.bend.breaks
Sertan Deras Merch Industrial We Are Nice Guys	Posted - 2007.07.11 20:11:00 - [23] I wouldn't call 1984 Sci-Fi, I would call it non-fiction (which, I guess is the aim of most sci-fi, to become non-fiction :P).

MrTripps Gallente	Posted - 2007.07.11 20:36:00 - [27] Originally by: djenghis jan A very very nice book is a fire upon the deep by vernor vinge. I'm reading that right now. What I've read so far is very good. Poor Olson Scott Card. He used to be a good writer. Then he turned into a total nutbar.

Mad Amos WMFRR Corp	Posted - 2007.07.11 20:40:00 - [28] Gene Wolfe The New Sun Tetralogy Quote: Award-winning science fiction author Michael Swanwick has said: "Gene Wolfe is the greatest writer in the English language alive today. Let me repeat that: Gene Wolfe is the greatest writer in the English language alive today! I mean it. Shakespeare was a better stylist, Melville was more important to American letters, and Charles ****ens had a defter hand at creating characters. But among living writers, there is nobody who can even approach Gene Wolfe for brilliance of prose, clarity of thought, and depth in meaning." "Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you." -Carl Gustav Jung
Andrue Amarr	Posted - 2007.07.11 20:40:00 - [29] Originally by: Achuramale Way to spoil one of the best sci-fi books... Yah, was kind of thoughtless of 'em. Personally I found Speaker for the Dead to be a more engrossing read and more worthy of praise but for sure if you want something to zip through during a flight Ender's Game is good. The 'alternate' Ender's Shadow is fascinating. Very clever. Sadly the rest of the series just got too weird for me. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**

But to get more of an idea what a society could be like i would say the jack vance books are also nice. cheer-s Yah, one of my all time favourites simply because of the way it conveys the size of the galaxy. The sequel (if it isn't a prequel) A Darkness in the Sky is equally brilliant. But my all time favourite would have to be a C J Cherryh novel. Probably Downbelow Station. -- (Battle hardened industrialist) [Brackley, UK] *This is not* a signature**
