Replay

Product Information

I can only imagine the discombobulated state of anyone waking up 25 years in the past. If this phenomenon happened to me today I would be waking up in 1989 Agarrei no livrinho e tentei dar-lhe um bom avanço e assim que o fiz, mal avancei umas páginas, a leitura envolveu-me e a história sofreu uma reviravolta. I really like Tsukahara Saki sensei’s shoujo manga drawing style, all her characters look very beautiful. However I have to admit storytelling is not her strong suit… Replay was released at the same time as Blue Note, the art and plot have improved compared to her earlier works Powder Snow Melancholy and Escape Drop.

Fiction is full of speculations about where the world would be if Kennedy had lived. Some show a better, more advance world, but others show a world that is much worse than the one we wake up in today. I think many of us feel, even those that were born after the event, that we were robbed of a better version of ourselves, a divergent self that died with Kennedy. #mythology Sharon Creech has to be one of my all-time favorite authors. I have loved everything I've ever read that she wrote. This book was no exception. I've had it on my shelf to read forever...but I think I was put off by the cover. I mean, a FISH? I didn't want to read a book about fishing. I wasn't first on this bandwagon; I was last. But as any true believer — or replayer — knows, there's a strange odd power in knowing you're not alone in this world. The seme has been distancing himself away from the uke, he’s declining the uke’s invites and told the uke to play less and study more. The seme’s a lot smarter than the uke so he could go to better university but he’s aiming for S University because that’s where the uke wants to go. One day, the uke went over to the seme’s home to study together before their cram school, while the seme’s mom left to drink tea at uke’s home. The uke jokingly asked if the seme wanted to eat dinner first or eat him first. The seme said they are only a married couple when playing baseball, now they are just friends. The uke said he wants to be together even if they don’t play baseball anymore…It's just such a shame that this amazing premise gets squandered. Jeff, and then Jeff and Pamela when he meets her during his third replay, speculate a little as to the cause and reason behind their staggered, spiralling reincarnations. Yet there is no payoff. None. We never learn why or how they keep reliving their lives, just that they have learned some big lesson about making the most out of their futures. Except I'm pretty sure that Jeff is just going to continue evaluating women's worth as sex objects and being a terrible husband, because he is the worst. and the global aspects are the best part of this book. You expect this book to cover how events taking place in the US & Japan impacted each other and shaped the business, but I was amazed to discover how regional quirks of the early tech culture in England, South-Korean, France, Spain, and Germany shaped the types of games and genres that spread to the rest of the world. This book made me laugh out loud, and I always love it when a book can do that, because not a ton can. Sure, they can make me snort, or be like, “Yeah, that was funny,” but really LAUGH, now that doesn’t happen as much. Esta es la historia de Andrew Stilman, periodista del New York Times, que se ha casado hace poco, un día cuando sale a correr a lo largo del río Hudson es atacado, sufre un pinchazo y se desmaya, lo siguiente es que despierta 2 meses antes de su boda, a partir de ahí tendrá 60 días para averiguar quien le ha atacado y por qué, 60 días para hacer frente a su destino….

And this time, he's no dummy. He doesn't marry the wife he knows he'd one day divorce. He bets on the '69 Mets and makes a ton of cash. He's rich, rich, rich. And then he turns 43 and drops dead — again. I knew isolated segments of the start of Atari and the crash of '83, but this book gives the context of how those puzzle pieces fit into the larger global fabric of video-games. That said, I think while it doesn't benefit from audio like some fiction books do, it's a decent option. This is a book I will definitely reread. I definitely recommend it. This books will reach into your heart and touch it, something that all the very best books should do at some point or another.

Selected

Este libro atesora un valor incuestionable. Una documentación extensa y detallada de una industria cuyos entresijos y fundamentos son aún desconocidos para la gran mayoría. La labor de Donovan supone un reconocimiento a los videojuegos no solo como entretenimiento, sino también como medio artístico y cultural. Of course, things get more complicated as the replays become shorter and shorter, each time beginning a few months or years closer to Jeff's unavoidable date of death, which never changes. Some of the replays are far from happy, and Jeff realizes that even with several lifetimes to live, there's never enough time to avoid regrets. In the end, living is about recognizing that, and always moving forward. Of course, this being a thriller, there's a love interest and a bad guy. But the best part of Replay isn't the plot; it's the fact that the book is about you — yes, you. El libro me ha gustado, si bien ha habido partes que se me han hecho mas tediosas ya el ritmo no es elevado. Audiobook: Gary Furlong does exactly what I want from a nonfiction narrator. He reads clearly with good pacing and inflection without getting in the way of the book. It does seem apparent he's not familiar with some of the concepts however as he mispronounces a few things (like GUI) that just made me cringe a little every time it occurred.

Replay's "blue" timeline covers my career in game development — from programming my first AppleII arcade games as a teenager, through the 1990s and 2000s with ever-bigger teams, budgets, and stakes on The Last Express and The Sands of Time.Nos van presentando las distintas vidas (replays) que le van sucediendo a nuestro protagonista, hasta que conoce a otra persona que le está sucediendo lo mismo y se van conociendo hasta enamorarse. Vemos las distintas vidas de ambos, las opciones que van eligiendo cada uno de ellos. Pero se van dando cuenta que cuando empiezan de nuevo no empiezan en el mismo punto exacto sino que hay un desfase de tiempo que se va acrecentando.
