My dad just gave me a copy of Timequake, I'll proabably read that next.

Man, Sirens of Titan is the only book that has ever made my cry. Not that it's sad or anything, just plain beautiful

And here's a funny trivia: Apparently Vonnegut wrote the whole storyline in one night.

Played a few matches yesterday, still too early to judge but here are my first impressions

First, let's get the bad stuff out of the way. First thing that caught my eye is how small the characters seem, it could be just me but there's something off about the scale that makes the game feel more like UT than Quake. They look tiny compared to the maps. Here's a list of minor annoyances that hopefully will get improved in the future:

• Getting in a match takes forever... too much preparation and too many cutscenes... just drop me in the game!
• The music is really awful... is it just piano notes?
• Respawning feels weird, it needs to be as snappy as Quake 3's
• Too much F2P stuff cluttering the UI.

Now the good stuff:

• The game is fun and the shooting feels solid!
• Love the taunts, specially Slasher's. "I hate being in the receiving end". lol
• The character models look dope.

I'll be playing more, but I like what I played so far

What a fucking clown

Here's some stuff I've read/listened to recently that I enjoyed quite a bit, mostly sci-fi classics:

And slowly going through this monster of an audiobook (it's over 50 hours long of pure madness but it's interesting as fuck if you like Philip K Dick)

Oh yeah Fortress is an awesome movie, I remember watching it when I was kid and the ending shocked me haha

Gotta rewatch it

I might be pick this up only to appreciate the art, not sure if the gameplay is my cup of tea, but damn does this game look good!

Yeah first book I hear the second book has a lot of dialogue and too little action? I might just pick the audiobook for the other ones.

Awesome! Curious to see if they are making a trilogy out of the first book, or if they will try to fit everything in one movie.

I highly recommend the book, it's a loooong haul but totally worth it. I've been reading it for months now and I still have about 20% to go lol. I'm learning so much from it that I usually read a chapter and meditate on the concepts for weeks, just to make sure I fully grasped everything. This a powerful book and the useful bits will be probably lost in the movie translation, or can't even be fitted in a movie to begin with! No wonder Jodorowsky wanted his version to be 12 hours long

The audible audiobook is stellar too, probably the best production values I have ever seen in an audiobook. I started with that one but it was kind of hard to understand what the fuck they were talking about a lot of the times, because of all the new terminology Frank Herbert created for the book. But my plan is to go over it once I'm done with the book

It's cool but it's boring... If you like cyberpunk it's a no-brainer though!

Wow, that's a tragedy. Anyone knows what happened?

RIP Paul

While everyone is distracted fighting each other, they are just going to shove another bill down everyone's throat without having any input from the population. So much for democracy

Looks legit

The NUtty professor

So much hate

Looks interesting, hey, at least they are chasing their vision!

Looking forward to this, hopefully it won't feel as formulaic as every other Marvel movie.

wooo congrats man
