Madina O b l i v i o n doublelifegirl357 I am. I really am. If they're such a thing as addiction to good literature, I've got it bad. It actually would have taker 4, but... (Talking uber-fast)There were only 30 pages left, I didn't have school the next day, I knew someone died in the end, I laid awake in bed for at least an hour afraid it would be Murtagh, got up, asked my mom if I could finish it, and she said yes. And breathe! ...I didn't even ask my mother. I just pretended to go to bed then picked up the book and kept on reading until the wee hours of the morning. It was great. I've gotten caught before, so that broke the habit, although several years after I first got caught, my dad told me that the first time he caught me reading when I was supposed to be asleep,he had to keep himself from cheering becasue he was so happy that I liked reading that much.

My mom caught be a few times, but every time she'd just look at me, either unconvincingly told me to go to bed or said "Ten more minutes". My dad just doesn't care. Your dad is a pretty awesome guy. <:

I'll do that occasionally, but I can't really play all day...it hurts my eyes.

Total opposite from me then. I can play for hours on end if I don't wind up rage quitting. Which I sometimes do. It's sort of sad that kids don't read these days. : There are a lot more things to find in books, and much bigger worlds in them, than you'll ever find in videogames. Besides. When you read a book, it's someone's soul you're reading into. It's someone's life you're remembering; you're immortalizing someone by reading what they wrote.

I've actually read the novelizations of 2 VGs I really like, and they're cool because you get a lot of insight and story that you never see in the game.

Oh oh oh! I know Assassin's Creed has a novel or two out as a prequel for the first game and second game, I think. I don't know much about them though; the stores around here sell mostly all-french books, and it's hard to find anything in english. I've thought about ordering them off Amazon or Ebay just the shipping's just so expensive it's a total turn off.
Which games have you read the novels for?

...of course you'd read novels for Star Wars-based games. I should've seen that one coming.
But really, what grounds can those books cover that everything else hasn't already?

We're talking about Star Wars, right? Several games and the movies doesn't even begin to cover it.
The list of Star Wars books alone is divided into different Eras... There are like..three or four levels of what is considered canon...
I'm pretty sure it's just always going to keep expanding...

Um, there are only 6movies. And Clone wars, which doesn't really count.
And Force Unleashed is set during a 19-year gap between two of the films.
there are games and books that are set hundreds of years after the films and thousands of years before the films.
To quote Hayden Christensen, "Star wars is forever."

...okay, to be fair, there are nine, just that three of them are shiny remakes. I'm going to have to make my dad rewatch them; he told me there were nine actual movies. See? This is how not Star Wars-oriented I am.
And Jesus Christ on a stick.
Forever, huh.
Well I think that settles it.
