Best selling sci-fi author Orson Scott Card may be ideal known for his Ender series of novels but he has also kept a finger or two in the gaming industry. He wrote dialog for two of LucasArts‘ adventure games in the 1990s (The Dig and The Secret of Monkey Island) and wrote the story for the Majesco published sci-fi action game Advent Rising.
In a new interview with Card on the Scifi.com web site, he states that the previously announced game based on his near future novel Empire is still moving forward via Chair Entertainment (now owned by Epic Games).Card stated that a game based on his most well-know novel Ender’s Game will move forward after Empire is finished. Card says, “My hope and plan is that the Ender’s Game personal and console games won’t be mere tellings of the story, but rather true games with a high degree of replayability. In other words, you don’t play the game once, so you can act out the story (as with, state, the Harry Potter movie-based games), and then discard it.”

Are these people out of their spanking-loving, English-disciplined, bloody psycho minds? Judging from these news, yes they are: Schools in Britain are now installing CCTV and microphones in classrooms for four-year-old kids.
According to the Daily Mail, schools have installed new cameras to watch and listen to “pupils as young as four”. Apparently, the authorities are worried that the aforementioned pupils can disrupt lessons when the teacher’s back is turned, and they want the cameras to identify them.
Coincidentally, Shadow Children’s Minister Tim Loughton is chairman of Classwatch, the company installing those surveillance systems. Nor surprisingly, instructors and human rights organizations are up in arms against the technology but, quite frankly, who cares about CCTV in classrooms when the bloody things are basically installed all over the place in the United Kingdom?
Alan Moore was right. [Daily Mail]
