Haha~ I love my Sci-Fi Literature class. This is my final exam:
Choose one of the following popular television series or films. Using your knowledge of the definitions and subgenres of science fiction as discussed in this class, write a clear, well-organized essay that argues how the title you chose is or is not science fiction. Please begin your essay with a summary of the major elements of the work you have chosen. Please make specific references to the literary elements of science fiction and please cite specific examples from the works to support your argument.
Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Star Trek, Stargate, Star Wars, Dr. Who, The X Files, Babylon 5, Farscape, E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Men in Black, Back to the Future, The Terminator, The Matrix
I just had a joygasm. Like the biggest one ever.
ALSO, thanks to my federal tax return, I will have $1100 more paid off of my kitty bills and I will be holding the special edition of GRAND THEFT AUTO IV in my hands a WEEK FROM NOW. Aaaaand I will be paying the state $42. :|
JOYGASM x2! These scores also make me PEE MY PANTS OF GLEE.
The May 2008 issue of Official Xbox Magazine (UK) published the first Grand Theft Auto IV review, giving the game the maximum score of 10/10. The magazine also stated that the game has an "amazingly realistic world; stunning action set pieces; genuinely engrossing storyline; hugely entertaining multiplayer;" and that it is "vast in every respect".
The June issue of Official PlayStation Magazine (Australia) gave Grand Theft Auto IV a perfect score of 10/10, explaining in their verdict: "The scope and scale of GTA IV is beyond anything gaming has ever had to offer". Throughout the review they refer to GTA IV as "a living and breathing world where anything is possible".
PlayStation Official Magazine (UK) also gave the game 10/10 in their May 2008 issue.
The French publication of the PSM3 magazine gave the game 20 scores out of 20, praising it: "enormous, gigantic, violent and furious; simply the best game of all time".
The film magazine Empire gave the game a perfect 5 in its game reviews section, calling it "damn-near perfect".
Xbox World 360 gave the game a 98% rating, mentioning: "everything we were entitled to expect, and yet somehow impossibly more"...
(AND THERE IS A NEW EPISODE OF REAPER ON TONIGHT. CW. 8PM. FOR THE LOVE OF RAY WISE AND THE ADORABLE RICK GONZALEZ, PLZ WATCH IT. XD)
