Great book, and I have never been a fan of High Fantasy. I take my time and read 50 or so pages a day and have found it to be incredibly involving and well-written. I tried Wheel of Time ten years ago and found myself disinterested. Maybe I will go back after I finish this series. As far as the series on HBO goes, it sounds like it has way more sex than anything the first book has had, although those elements are present.

An RTS sounds interesting, but an RPG more like Phantasy Star III or IV would seem to be a better choice.

Akira is my favorite. Although Miyazaki has many stunning films, I have never been able to erase the memory of my first viewing of the Neo-Tokyo Motorcycle chase.

I feel nostalgia for the All-Nighters celebrated with Cool Ranch Doritos dipped in Lay's Jalapeno Cheese Dip, Six Packs of Jolt Soda, and bandaged thumbs tired from "secret codes" and blasting away Aliens in Contra, or enemy soldiers in Ikari Warriors.

I'm wondering if working conditions would improve if companies weren't the victim of piracy? I would hope that people who pirate would realize the effect they have on employees and families at all levels of the industry.

True, Wii Music makes itself look silly. And I hope Nintendo is studying this project for ideas, or encourages people to "mass" produce it.

Wow...this makes Wii Music look silly. Hopefully Nintendo will become friendlier to the homebrew environment when they see projects like this.
