Totally, off topic, but do you like Dune?

I just re-read the first book, and finally read the second and third myself...... I was SO into Dune when I was young.

I'm guessing you noticed my AIM screen name. (or perhaps I resemble a fremen in that pic :lol) Yeah, I dig Dune. I haven't read any of the books in a few years, but it remains one of my favorite sci-fi series of all time.

I am also a big Dune fan. Not sure I could read God Emperor without starting from the beginning of the series, though.

Have any of your read DOON?

How is discussing the greatness of Frank Herbert's magnum opus epic hitting on chels, Rambaldi?

As to my opinion on Dune, I love all the original works by Frank Herbert but I've never really been able to get into the continued works by his son Brian. Arrakis is indeed one of the best known worlds in sci-fi (it's even in the holographic display of Sci-Fi worlds in the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame in Seattle). However, I must honoestly say that the Dune saga is NOT my favorite massive sci-fi novel series; anyone care to guess what is? 8o

Shoot, that's the second time I've screwed up names (Navy instead of AGD2 was the first)! Either I'm going senile or my brain still hasn't recovered from you turning me into a mouse... :lol

Anyway, I meant PC, not chels; sorry to both ladies. :o

Blackthorne - Any specific reason the dude in your 'tar walks with a limp? I know you said he's a villian, so maybe that's his thing? I mean, all villians gotta have a thing, right?

Oh, and before anyone says it, I'm talking about his thing, NOT his thing-y. Dig? ;)

Favorite SF series? Some high-probability possibilities:

Asimov - Future History (Robots/Foundation)
Simmons - Hyperion Cantos
Banks - Culture

As for Brian's Dune books, I think Penny Arcade expressed it best:

I'm not sure if I'm respectible but I never got around to reading them. My brother...Steve (-O?) who got me started on WFG read them so there is some truth to that statement

I never read Dune bit the middle brother (Not steve not me) wanted to read Dune and we found the books right after he got in a car accident that made his right eye leak an erie puss so he never got to read them :(

I almost watched Red Dwarf the other night at like 2 AM but the way you guys talk about it it seems highly inaproprite for an almost 15 year old.

I geuss you cans say the Di Rocco house is a house of nerds. Now if you'll excuse me i need some alone time after my date with the three boobed chick from zenon ;)

O god that post went to hell the closer it got to the end.

P.S is my grammar getting better? I'm really trying hard to take Erpy and Steve-O's advice. By the whosists what is Erpy's Name? I never got it.

Well, my favorite sci-fi series is probably Ender's Game. That wouldn't happen to be it, would it? I haven't read very many other sci-fi series, mostly just fantasy fiction (though there are many books that kind of fall into both categories). In fact, the only other truly sci-fi series I think I've read would be the Hitchiker's Guide.

Oh yeah, and I was totally not getting hit on by BT. :lol I have a sixth sense about these things.

No, see, you don't understand him very well. Trust me, I've known him for like six months now. He thinks if a girl just TALKS to him, she's his girlfriend. :p

Sorry, PC; the Ender novels are great, but not my favorite. Snarky, you want to pick one in particular as your guess?

Dude, I gotta say, this post was EVER so much more readable, and I actually could understand your points. Kudos to you man. I'm glad to see that you actually care about the forums enough to try and improve yourself, even if it is a tiny bit and something stupid like better grammar and punctuation. Right on.

Alright, I'll go with the one I like best, Banks' Culture series.

Though personally, I rate Ursula Le Guin's Hainish cycle (The Dispossessed, The Left Hand of Darkness etc.) higher. It doesn't seem to be as popular as it deserves to be, though. (Or people tend to think of them as individual novels rather than as a series, at least.)

I don't think there's anything inappropriate for a teenager in Red Dwarf, QFGFan.

Actually, it seems to me that the frames weren't properly aligned when the .gif was made. Try taking the animation apart and aligning the character's head so that it's in the same location in each frame and then put the .gif back together. It seems to look fine that way. Then again I know bubkes about graphics and animation, so meh. :p I just figured it was intentional for one reason or another (cool looking sprite otherwise, BTW :) ).
