What Are You Reading?

I can't wait for this to arrive. Not quite reading it yet, but still. I was iffy on spending 41$ on a single volume, but I've been good at budgeting lately and have been wanting some Frank Stanford for a year, and the complete works is a good bit of 'some Frank Stanford' in my opinion.

Just got my hands on Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights, by Salman Rushdie; The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu, followup to The Three Body Problem; and a signed copy of James Gurney's (of Dinotopia fame!) Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter.

By the way, Muspelli. Not the exact book, but still. I love this site.

Added to my bookmarks, thanks!

I'm reading Bakuman, a manga about making manga. It's pretty good, but the latter half of it feels a bit like it's trying really hard to stay interesting.

Oh, he's French/Canadian? It all makes sense now.

Hey! Don't hate!

I can confirm; he sounds as dumb in French as he does in English. Here's what he said:

This vast majority(people that hate SC2 story on the official US forums) is made of around 12 immature idiots that spend their time worshiping the SC1 manual, posting useless comments -along the lines of "lol I want to see Raynor rape Kerri to avenge Fenix"- and get mad when we remind them of the numerous writing problems of SC1/BW.

These pigeons can cry all they want that it used to be better, they still give their money to Blizzard.

If only he would understand he's being too hypocritical of it all.

Actually, given the critics on the battlenet forums, it's not as complete BS as you'd think. A lot of people after dealing with them grew very exasperated.

Love Canadians. Not so much the French Canadians.

Uh...the reason why SC/BW's errors don't get as much criticism is because there weren't as many, and you could still play the games and feel like you were caught up in an awesome sci-fi world. No such feelings in SC2.

So, I tried to read SCG Spectres. It was pretty boring, as it just kept going on about stuff without setting up the characters and why we should care about them. At least Tosh had more personality in it than in SC2.
