Discussion»Questions»Books and Literature» Are you a SCIFI/FANTASY fan or is reality your cuppa tea? What about SCIFI movies? Nothing of interest to you there?
Sci-Fi and Fantasy top the list of my favorite genres. My love of Sci-Fi is apparent in my addiction of all Starwars movies as well as the tv shows Stargate and Battlestar Galactica. My adoration of Fantasy is clear with my many many hours of playing the video games The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online. Coincidentally, I just started playing Skyrim once again. FUS RO DAH!!
Hot DAWG Corey! We have that in common although I'm not video game knowledgeable!! Thank you for your nifty reply and the detail you provided. I like that extra background information a lot! Happy Wednesday m'dear! :)
Hi, Rosie!!!! I may or may not be hyped up on Mountain Dew right now! Ccccan you tell!? If ever you decide to try a video game, Skyrim is the one! Great characters, beautiful scenery, large free-roam map, dragons!!! Who doesn't like dragons!! I think I'm falling in love again! :D
I don't know how old you are Corey but my son (now 51) used to play Dungeons and Dragons with his friends when they were in their early teens. They were really hooked on it. I don't know if it still exists today though. I remember there was so much hack and slay involved I asked my son if he could design a dungeon where only good things happened. He said he'd try. After a couple of days he said it couldn't be done. The purpose of the game is to advance by defeating the bad guys. If there are no bad guys nothing happens. Thank you for your reply m'dear! OK. I will write down Skyrim! I keep a small notepad by the computer that's reserved for such things so I don't forget about them! I just wrote down "per Corey try the Skyrim video game". Will let you know if/when that happens! :)
I'm 27 just as an FYI. Yeah, Skyrim is the same way as D&D. SPOILER ALERT It's about defeating a terrible dragon called Alduin, also nicknamed World Eater, who is bent on the destruction of the kingdom of Skyrim. Throughout the game you have to save towns and cities from being destroyed by Alduin's dragon followers. Typically, to do that you have to kill the dragons. The closest you'll get to a non-violent video game is probably EA's simulation games like The Sims. They are fun games as well.

Cool. Thank you for replying with such helpful information Corey. I really appreciate it. You could have ignored me but you didn't! You are a kindly and very good person! :)

Cool m'dear! Me too! Thank you for your reply and Happy Thursday Ele. That's also why I love quantum physics. They are intimately connected. I have NO scientific background at all but there are many quantum physicists who write books for people just like me. I don't understand everything I read of course but I get enough out of itto remain fascinated!
Wow! I would gladly put that up on my wall. It is quite beautiful! She was how old again? Literally takes my breath away Virginia. Of course unicorns are known for their goodness and purity and rarity. So it makes sense that one would be coupled with Jesus. Thank you for sharing that with us. I am deeply touched. I bet you are a Ken Burns fan then! Aren't his specials special? Jim and I love movies that are based on real people. We often watch Turner Classic Movies and when the movie is based on a real person I always look it up the next day to see how close to reality the movie was. The most memorable ones are usually based on real people. Happy Thursday m'dear! :)
Yes, RosieG, indeed I have much enjoyed Ken Burns specials... You DO understand about the drawing...the coupling makes sense to you...the wonders of her little life, she was only eight. And I wish you a wonderful day, also!
WW, this little girl was labelled as "troubled," (yes at age eight) and then she draws a picture like this - rainbows, sunshine...well ... she had a difficult start in life, but what a wonderful potential was showing through!

I enjoy it alright. I'd say it's not my favorite genre, but I love certain sci-fi anime, as well as certain fantasy novels, like A Song of Ice and Fire and Lord of the Rings.
