Anywho, I've tried to read all of OSC's books, and I'm working my way up. I've read Ender's Game countless times... over 20... but I've grown up and the others now interest me more. I haven't found a single one that wasn't a good one. Altho some of them were a little weird, like that guy who goes in to fix that house and it attacks him...
I've also read the short stories where he's only the editor. (I'm not sure if I should be speaking to OSC... or about...) but yah.
I had a few questions I was wondering if they could be anwsered, sorry if they seem obvious, but like I said I'm new here...
first off, the word "né" is in one of the Ender's Game series I belive (one of Bean's novels I think..). I was wondering what that ment and witch language?... Cause I use it as a replacement for mek and eh in my speach... so I figured it'd be good to know the real meaning. Or does it only mean born in french and nothing special.
what's this battle school forum thing?... is that some sorta game? and if so how do I play and... what type is it?
Oh, and when's the movie coming out?... I remember hearing about it a long time ago... or has it come out without me noticing even?
Thanks for your time, Will

Né probably comes from Portugese, since OSC speaks Portugese, and it is a common Brazilian expression. It's short for "Não é", which means "Isn't it".

The link on the home page is the most current info that has been released on the movie. I don't know a lot about the battle school forum. You also might be interested in philoticweb.net, which is dedicated to EG stuff.

In Portugese, it isn't really even slang. It's more of an unofficial contraction. It is extremely common.

Am I the only one who sees a "Post New Topic" button at the top and ANOTHER at the bottom of the page?

lol, the post reply buttons are in irregular places.
you'd know if you went to other forums. and my eyes just skipped over images, because they're usually frivolous.
as for all the rest thanks, I'll check out those two links pooka.
I suppose né is just shorthand. I remember saying neh before I used né... one person went "are you a horse"?...

*shrug* Actually, I do go to a number of other forums. Two have the buttons in the same spots (not surprising, since they're also UBB); the rest have them in a variety of locations.
