Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks Society
I like a lot of sci-fi/fantasy stuff, but I'm not sure if it's enough to be considered a geek.... you decide:
Firefly
Serenity
LOTR
Final Fantasy (Played every game)
Farscape
Lost (?) (I'm into all the theories and stuff.... so I guess it's kind of geeky)
Wheel of Time (I hear Robert Jordan has been diagnosed with some illness, and may only have 5 years left. I'm not joking here, so he may not actually finish Wheel of Time...) -
Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks SocietyYou like the same stuff as me, I am a geek, hence that makes you a geek.(Original post by wiggles)

Lost is awesome, I should have mentioned it in the first post. As for, Serenity and Firefly, they are just unbelievably good. I just got started on Firefly infact, so if anyone has any links through which I can download episodes, please PM them to me. You shall be rewarded
About the logos, it doesn't neccessarily need text in it.
Keep the suggestion rolling in.

*sorry* Shame, the poor guy; that's rough! -
Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks SocietyHe's been diagnosed with amyloidosis (or something like that), but he says he'll battle on and try his damndest to finish the series, plus write a whole note more. He's taking a Lance Armstrong approach.(Original post by wiggles)
Wheel of Time (I hear Robert Jordan has been diagnosed with some illness, and may only have 5 years left. I'm not joking here, so he may not actually finish Wheel of Time...)
On another note: that's a decent list of fantasy stuff. The FF games are fantastic
. Love 'em

Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks SocietySo far there are 11 books, and the one he's writing at the moment is the 12th and final one.(Original post by bullyfish)
Is wheel of time worth starting? What I really dont want is to obsessivly read a series of books, and then have to wait for progressive sequals/not even finish it if hes dead.
How many books are there/going to be?
I'm on book 6 at the moment, and it's just as good the second time around
And I'd say that it's definitely worth reading, although each book is about 900 (+/- 100) pages long, and MOST of it is good stuff. There are some parts where Jordan rambles on about useless politics and completely forgot to add to the story (in fact, in the 11th novel, the story barely moves at all...), but it's easy to skip those bits and still enjoy the book!Last edited by Jayk; 15-07-2006 at 19:14. -

Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks SocietyUh...uh...that's really difficult to answer!(Original post by bullyfish)
Sounds good! So what exactly are the books about?
Thank god for Wikipedia!
Here's a pretty good 'premise'.
Although I'd only reccomend reading that chunk, if you want to remain spoiler-free. -
Re: The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geeks SocietyThat's a bit weird and quite complicated!(Original post by jayk_bakner)

It's not a fighting game is it?
!! How can you of not?!
A friend of mine recently battled and survived an intense bout of lymphoma (cancer) It was very scary and traumatic, but he won!!!
