Is that so? Then Square Enix probably chose a technology years ago, and made the movie entirely out of that, then. Would have taken a tremendous amount of work. The details are almost perfect! How would they even do that?

Years of work. And patience. The end credits have 4 or 5 people just for a basic model.

Obviously, yes. The price you have to pay for being the leader in graphics, perhaps among other things, but, at least for the player, it is definately worth it.

Book: The Ruin, Richard Lee Buyers, Year of the Rogue Dragons book 3.
This is the conclusion to the first Fantasy series I started 2 years ago. This book contained intricate detail, especially during combat and war scenes, like most Forgotten Realms books, and it the way the chain of events were set up always kept me in suspense. And as much to your pleasure Magus it is not just a cheap fantasy story where no one dies, one of the main character do die in the end. You don't know what this book so i will give you a quick summary: A man, Dorn by name had always hated dragons. You would too if one came and ate your whole family in front of your eyes and bitten you in half and then be given iron body parts to replace his broken body to make him a deformed half golem. From that day forward Dorn had sworn to kill all dragons. Years later, long story short he had gained some friends who joined his hunt for years and after years of killing dragons a new threat came: The Rage. It is a disease that all living dragons undergo every year, it basically makes them all insane. They are normally smart magical creatures but under the influence of the rage, they are brutal mindless killing machines. This year was different, this year a lich named Sammaster found a way to enhace the rage to last forever, so he could bargain with the dragons to achieve world domination. His bargain was to gain the alliegance of the dragons if he turned them into dracoliches (undead dragons) Undead were not affected by it and the dragons could sense that this rage would be their end unless they accept the deal. In this book, Dorn with many allies, dragons as well ironically enough have been sent out to destroy the source of the rage that Sammaster has altered. Should they fail, all of Faerun will belong to the dragons. This story line was incredible to read, and i deem it worthy of a 9/10!

Farenheit 451
Only my third read of Ray Bradbury. I thought it was exceptional. There was a great concept to it, the cchanges made in the protagonist throughout the story were great. There are some subtle references to some technology that matches some that we have now, but that is not why i read it. I definetely recommend this book, the only problem was it was never actually specified what year it is imagined in. Just for a quick summary, it about a future society in which books are burned by firemen(who, now that homes are fireproof, they start fires, not put them out) because they are thought to contain dangerous ideas. The reason they are burned is too complicated to explain, but reading the book makes you understand it, so pick up a copy at your local library, at least before we start to burn books!
8.5/10

I've heard of that story before! In my English class Reno and I saw a movie with the exact same concept! It was called Farenhiet 911 but that could be because of the remade movie or perhaps its a series. I recall it being a very strange plot, and the movie itself was low buget old and it was just funny to watch. Have you seen it TMP?

THat was Michael Moore's (president)bush basher, Bradbury got really really angry at him when he used the title.

Why would Bush be angry about it? The movie was made long before the 9/11 attack was even thought of.

No, she said it was similar to Farenhiet 911. But it was really 451.

Oh. Then in that case, it was Farenhiet 451 and the movie was the same as your book TMP.
