Eragon is getting video game.
if its anything like the book, you'll never like dragons or fantasy novels again.

is anyone else pissed that this 15 year old kid can write such crap and get away with it?
get good press.
and make ungodly amounts of money
and get movie deals
and now game deals?

FUCK!

*throws a chair*

FUCK FUCK FUCK!

some little shit has an effortless daydream, and ends up set for life.
and people like me who actually put some fucking thought into shit, cant even get a pat on the fucking back.

i guess im just really pissed that this guy was able to break into the game industry by accident. ive been trying to get a decent spot in it for the last 5 years

as far as my research goes it's a novel about dragon's or whatever, that gets fairly badly slammed on IMDB now I know IMDB is a flamer paradise but it's pretty universal, more flamers means more suck.

It's not like they can make Eldest a video game though is it....that was BAD

It makes sense though, he earnt a hell of a lot of money on the book, earning as much as he can off it would be the capitalistic thing to do.

You had me all excited reading the topic....

I'm thoroughly disappointed now. This has to be worse then the Commodore 64 game of PERN.

The Pern game?

Yes they made it. it involved 'fighting thread' which was essential going along a screen and flaming bits of the innocous substance.

We owned it but i never played....i dont know where the commodore is to be honest. I only remember that we had it, i wasn't allowed to play it and that the only things i was ever allowed to play was the car racing game (which i sucked at) and the Olympic games one. Being 6 at the time and that i had never heard of it....might of had something to do with it. Though it got me wanting to read Pern....and now i'm the horrible nerd you see before you today.

why did you own the game if you weren't allowed to play it?

and somehow this story dosn't jive with everything i've been told about your childhood, such as plunking you in front of a TV and saying 'have a good time'

What...you think i was given free rein on games, tv etc?

You are sadly mistaken.

It's called PERMISSION

Your talking to the girl that was banned from playing Nintendo if I used the word HOG/HOGGED because SOMEONE kept on hogging it.

I was shoved into a 'middle' child scenario due to be raised by an aunt with three daughters of her own.

ah, that explains it

usualy two firstborn's don't get along all that well, but you're a firstborn raised as a middle child. Cool

and i remember the hog thing, but still, i thought you watched plenty of things on TV that your parents didn't approve of quite often.
