#THE CRYSTAL SHARD BOOK PLOT HOLES DRIZZT FIGURINE MOVIE#

In 1994 the first Star Trek: The Next Generation movie was released: Star Trek Generations. Welcome to the 23rd century, ladies and gentlemen! Which mostly manifests as her having all the worst problems of Superman and Goku. And Melaka Fray, a petty thief, discovers that she is the heir to the legacy of the Slayers. But in the shadows the Vampires are returning. In a crapsack future version of New York City, the supernatural and magic has been gone from the world for so long that everyone has forgotten about it. It's like Buffy meets 5th Element meets Hellboy meets Shadowrun meets.ДЇray was an 8-comic miniseries published by Dark Horse, and was the first Buffy: The Vampire Slayer comic actually written by Joss Whedon. But then there are some things that just. First, word of god says that today's subject is actually canon, and it has been referred to in the comic books that followed the TV Series and the series itself. I'm sort of cheating twice with this one. This is one of my favorites, and I may gush. So when I say that 'The Aztecs', the sixth Doctor Who serial, does a magnificent job of realizing pre-Columbian Aztecs, both the good and the bad, and creates one of the most interesting and thoughtful Doctor Who plots yet seen, or indeed seen since, I want my readers to have a sense for just how impressive that is. This is doubly true for stories involving Pre-Columbian America, which does not have any shared history with Europe, Africa, or Asia (unless you subscribe to the African Origins theory, but as that is not the current scientific consensus we won't get into that here.) If the writer does not care enough to do the research, this can lead to glaring stereotypes and errors. The typical writer for western television grew up in the west, so while foreign cultures like European nations, or the United States, Canada, or the UK if you are not a native, can be difficult, they are at least similar to the writer's experience.Д«ut when a western writer tries to write about a culture that rose up in isolation from the shared Roman Empire history of the West, be it Eastern culture or Hindu culture or African culture, that writer is often having to learn everything from scratch.

It is always a risky thing, creating a story set in a foreign culture. The problem is that this novel, this novel about the most badass Marine in the world mowing down an entire army of demons on the moons of Mars, is terrifyingly, life-suckingly dull.Дull, dull, dull, dull, dull from Dullsville with a side order of dull and something dull on top.

The problem is not even the network of cliches that renders this story completely and utterly unengaging. Nor is the problem the confused gender politics and inability to decide whether the heroes are snarky nerds or grunting jarheads. The problem is not the hard-on for the Marine Corps that makes Michael Bay look like a weed-smoking flower child. It remains a textbook example of how never, ever to write a video game novel.

And so, in 1995, Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver published 'Doom: Knee Deep In The Dead', a full novelization of the first video game in the franchise. This being the nineties, that meant it got spinoffs.

In 1993 a video game came out from ID Software that would more or less invent the First Person Shooter genre.
