Admin/ July 29, 2015/ Books

The End of Utopia is complete and is on Amazon to read.  But that’s not what this post is about.  Instead I will go into the method for how I will continue with the next book. Book 1 was certainly no lighthearted fantasy story, but for the most part, the reader gets  a feeling that the heroes can win.  A

Returning to College

Honoring Satoru Iwata

Admin/ July 13, 2015/ Video Games

It would be an understatement for me to say that Nintendo has been a definitive part of my entire life.  Many of the video games produced by this company have become staples within my home.  Others which were co created with other video game companies (such as Final Fantasy 6) are among my favorite games of all time.

My Problems With Hard Science Fiction

Admin/ July 11, 2015/ Rants

    Recently I have been reading 2312 which is along with much of the Kim Stanley Robinson’s work, very well received by the Science Fiction Community at large, but by me personally, not so much.   My problems stem from the fact that in Hard Science Fiction, the actual science is required to be completely plausible to the point
