CantrPotato, Issac Asimov probably comes third authorwise, but he is a real idol to me (and the reason I'm studying Cybernetics and Chemistry, in uni).

For non fiction, Bowden.

For my fave fiction dark comedy Catch 22, Joseph Heller.

Yeah.

Some of the ones mentioned I really like, such as Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, others.

I also like Kurt Vonnegut. A lot.

Pratchett's a good one. I'm into the fantasy stuff, so Jordan (wheel of time) and Eddings are high on my list

I've read just about everything by Eddings, but it really is very repettitive, obvious, cliche, etc. I enjoyed it at first, but I've decided I'm not going to bother with his new series.

Pratchett is great.

SciFi (and sometimes fantasy):
David Weber
David Drake
John Ringo
Eric Flint (read "Mother of Demons". It's incredible)

Of course some of Tom Clancy's books are good. Forgot to mention him.

I've read a few. But I do prefer console games with his name on it more. The non crappy ones. Just that genre, I'd rather play out.

The Rainbox Six series got old fast, I'd say

Well there's Splinter Cell, though since I've only got a PS2, I can't get the full effects of it on XBox. G'damn microsoft.

Yeah, then there's the other one Pandora Tomorrow or whatever
Looks a bit corny, though.
What's the other ones called?
Something Ghost

Ghost Recon. Yeah looks rather corny. I don't usually play his games at all to be honest. 50$ per game. Too much scratch for me.

True. I recently looked at an old game I had for N64...and I spent 49.99 on it... :shock:

nitefyre · Postby **nitefyre** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 6:57 pm

How much was it when you saw it recently? 4.99$?

Phbbbbt, a scam, the whole industry.

Mavsfan911 · Postby **Mavsfan911** » Tue Aug 17, 2004 7:01 pm

Yeah... I might be able to get 10 bucks off it, if I'm lucky.
It was a James Bond game too
