In retrospect, drinking three cups of coffee in quick succession may not have been the cleverest thing to do.

At least not if you plan on doing eye surgery soon, as the surgeon!

When I had to get my eyes operated upon, the surgeon I had told me he doesn´t drink coffee for at least 24 hours before the procedure. It´s very important to have a steady hand then as one can imagine

Yeah, I can imagine it would be. But it's an even worse idea to do eye surgery using the Force.

Internet in class, and we're all listening to What Does the Fox Say. Best. Monday. Ever.

[ImperialSnob]

We listened to Nirvana during a free class last week.

Twas' a good class.

How do you like being a Mouth, Impsnob?

[ImperialSnob]

Huh?

I wanna do some writing but I don't know where I'd post it,I couldn't post it here because I don't want to do fantasy for the moment because I'm getting bored of it.

I might do modern or sci-fi.

[ImperialSnob]

I've decided to undertake a big task,actually finish a god damn story.

I feel I never finished Eldwin's Challenger(I probaly will some time) because I'm bored of fantasy,I never really wrote anything diffrent.

I'm going to do a sci-fi/cyberpunk story and I'm going to also read more,so I'll be reading sci-fi/cyberpunk books and graphic novels.

Wish me luck!

[ImperialSnob]

I've decided to try and read a book each 1-3 weeks depending on the length and write a good amount everyday.I haven't decided how much a day because I don't know my speed yet,tommorow I'll do 1k or more to see what's my natural speed.

Yes.....I know what you're saying.

[Uleni Athram]

Essential reading/watching material:

Neuromancer and Johnny Mnemonic, by William Gibson; it's generally regarded as the first Cyberpunk novel so it's a must-read
Ghost in the Shell; get past the off writing and you've got a film that embodies the Cyberpunk aesthetic absolutely perfectly
Shadowrun Core Rulebook; probably the best RPG rulebook ever, it's got a whole ton of background, artwork and stories for the game's cyberpunk setting, plus you can get your friends together for a game. It's dead fun.
Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, by Philip K. Dick; this is basically proto-cyberpunk, so it's another 'historic' piece of cyberpunk fiction. Also, Blade Runner was adapted from it, and while the two are very, very different it's still worth seeing Blade Runner
Akira; not strictly cyberpunk, but it's got a good cyberpunk aesthetic to it and is a pretty good movie anyway
Cyberpunk; the short story by Bruce Bethke which coined the term
Ack-Ack Macaque, by Gareth L. Powell; it mixes steampunk up into its aesthetic as well, but it covers a lot of the core themes of Cyberpunk fiction (especially transhumanism) and is a bloody fun read
Deus Ex and Deus Ex: Human Revolution; give Invisible War a miss, but these two are generally regarded as the best cyberpunk videogames out there. I can't vouch for Shadowrun Returns as I haven't played it yet, but that's supposed to be good as well.

Hope that might be useful, and best of luck!

So, any of you remember that cone? So much easier than doing object rotation via click and drag. This has been a day and I have something wonky at best.

[Colonel Mustard]

I just wrote the phrase 'dim sun' in the sci-fi novel I'm working on and now I can't stop giggling...

My friend won't shut up about the shutdown(haha). He thinks we're going to be invaded, and/or Obama is going to set himself up as a dictator. Ugh.

The NSA won't let him. They're getting way too much dirt on everyone by watching this forum.
