[SPOILERS on links]
I just finished the Ender`s Game and Shadow of the Hegemon book`s, both by Orson Scott Card. I enjoy Ender`s Game, was a great lecture with surprises in the final chapters (well, no surprises at all, my first lecture from Ender`s universe was Ender`s Shadow, a parallel novel and first part of Shadow of the Hegemon)… on the other hand, I hate Shadow of the Hegemon, the story looks like a Risk game and I hate Risk, theres a lot of plots of enemy lines, war tactics, fights… myohmy, you need a world map to understand the storyline!! was hard but I finished the book, yeah, Im a book-junkie and big masochist.

The next book on my list is Speaker for the Dead, the second part of Ender`s Game. I hope a not so bad story as the second part of Ender`s Shadow. I hope, but Im not sure… sniff!

Aún sin permalinks ni comentarios y con anotaciones e imágenes perdidas, si en los próximos días no me resuelven nada tendré que borrar todo e instalarlo de nuevo. Chingado. Bue, de todas formas ahí va un aviso…

Lamigala}8 de venta el próximo viernes (y el sábado… y el domingo) en la Fausti(fokin)Con en Cintermex. En este número colaboran Baltazar Cárdenas (como si tuviera otra opción, ja, ja), C.G. Kirby, Robin Moreno y Gil Agudín. La portada, el diseño y la edición corren por mi parte. ¿Costo? Quince pesares de nada. Aquí está la portada:

ACTUALIZACIÓN: Acaba de haber algunos cambios dictados por el Baltamaster Jedi. Lamigala pasa a valer 20 pesos solo el día de la convención (25 pesos después) ¿porqué? porque si publicáramos la misma revista en Estados Unidos costaría 3.50 dlls. (35 pesos aproximadamente) 20 pesos extras de lo que pensábamos cobrar originalmente, aunado a que no venderemos el tiraje total los días del evento… ¡diablos! quiero tener por lo menos pa comprarme una soda. Junto con el aumento de precio viene un aumento de páginas, dos historias extras que no estaban consideradas hasta hace unos minutos, una de ellas de mi autoría.

Ok, the original idea was buy the Ender`s Game book (by Orson Scott Card), but I dont find it :( so, I bring to home the Ender`s Shadow and Shadow of the Hegemon books (parallel novels to the Ender`s saga). I just finished the Ender´s Shadow a few hours and… wow! what a book! not a masterpiece but works. Heres a link to the original short story. By the way, check the kick ass covers by Leo Flores, unfortunately, I dont find links to any gallery of his work.

Maybe spoilers here and there…

Nochnoi Dozor or Night Watch is the first part in a fantasy trilogy directed by Timur Bekmambetov. First, the critics call him a horror sci-fi fantasy thriller action movie, but I dont find horror (supernatural things yes, but no horror); I like this movie, a lot… not a big deal but what the hell. The story is interesting beyond the classic the last battle between good and evil line and theres some changes from the russian version to the american one. Read the rest of this entry »

Tokyo teenagers have been busted for mugging junior high students in the Akihabara district. Apparently, these toughs call their bullying “otaku hunting” because they target young Akiba-kei, a slang term for people who dig the electronics, manga, and anime products sold in Akihabara. According to the Mainichi Daily News, there have been 25 reports of otaku hunting this year. From the Mainichi Daily News: Otaku are weak and they’ve got money, so we went after them,” one of the arrested youths told the police.
