Title: Nostromo game pads used in Ender's Game movie
Post by: PyroJockey on November 10, 2013, 10:12:04 PM

I was watching Ender's Game with my son and saw a familiar gaming device, a Razer Nostromo.

Hehe, I noticed that during the movie, too.  So, since I use one of these (technically, it's an "N52te") at home, does that mean I'm way ahead of my time?  ;)

@ Kaiaatzel: Just to be a nuisance, I'd like to point out that if you've seen the trailers for the film you've technically already gotten notable spoilers on how it ends (you just may not realize it unless you've read the book). :P

I've read the book years ago... but I haven't watched the trailers or even read any reviews.
The only things left to spoil are the visuals and the product placements :P.  And the soundtrack.

But yah, even the tagline spoils the ending.

Wow, I guess I shouldn't mention they have space battles...
