  1. probably the guy is getting money per person he gets to land at the website.
  2. Ha, you realize that you sound as if you've never read the book, right? Bean didn't have a religion, and if he did, it would've probably been Catholicism, since Sister Carlotta was a mother to him when he was young, and although he didn't care about it then, he eventually appreciated what she did for him when he got older. On a side-note, although Orson is Mormon, I rarely saw him try to slide his religion into his books. All I saw was that Ender's mother was Mormon. However, in Speaker for the Dead, the book is heavy with Catholic characters. Just because Orson is Mormon, don't mean he automatically puts his religion in le books. He's an author, not an evangelist. Some can do both at the same time, but he aint seemin to be doin that, he's just a good author from what I can tell. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Correct, Bean DOESN'T have a stated religion but the fact that he felt COMPELLED to have kids and save even the fertilized eggs that were not to be born are easily pointed out to be mormon characteristics (or extremly Conservative Christian). While orsons characters are generally catholic it doesn't mean that their primairy value system isn't mormon based. Heck the entire thing with (forget her name... she goes into the enders sister clone) and the OCD people has some fairly heavy mormon aspects to it. If you notice most of the women in the series are subservant to their husbands heck for the piggy's the women become blind as bats and even dumber and MULTIPUL females live with one male....
  3. the problem with the EU universe is that theres no set limit to what luke could do early on. so in one book you've got him practically wiping out an entire Imperial shock army while in another you've got him getting beaten by a pair of goonies with a bow... (I exaggerate but you get the picture) Personally I would think that Ulic Qel-Droma would be the most powerful. Exar Kun is on that level too. Palpy is eh because while he's strong early on by the end of his reign he can't even defend himself. then it's Master Thon and Nomi Sunrider.
  4. hmmmm this went :
  5. and usually doesn't.
  6. he's asking for a "ifruit" that has a the ability to use the windows architecture.
  7. woogitty... Much discussion going on.
  8. lets see... the ones I'm slowly working on are: Devil may cry 3 Spec Edi as virgil Hulk: Ultimate destruction Viewtiful Joe Tiberian Sun Empire at War (using the Absolute Mod) X3 Cod2
  9. as long as the game allows me to figure out what's who and where. And has a DEFINITIVE endpoint I'm perfectly fine.
  10. in the situation presented before I'd have fudged the rules a little so that he either jumped or rolled but not quite quickly enough and the knife hit the villian in a certain spot that didn't insta kill. As to weather to truly mess with the rules and make the character like a DBZ guy (screams and all of a sudden stats go through the roof) I'd say no. but you could always screw with the world around them so that the town watch or somthing runs and tries to kill you because you were attacking an "innocent" man.
  11. you mean revan was in K2 as a character? I thought he just was mentioned in the course of events.
  12. the "correct" length of the game an rpg is subjective. thus developers try to make it so that you can rush it in a few hours (15 or so) but if you try to savor it for the fact of savoring it you can stretch that to close to 40 hours. For me the "right" amount of game play is the amount that is required to keep the story moving at a good clip but not loosing anything to "OMG we just learned a GIGANTIC plot twist because we took the wrong turn at that intersection!" moments. That's the one reason I don't like most of the games that are being rated well right now. Grand theft auto and most other games that come after it are little more than glorified sandboxes. It's gotten quite pervasive in that most adventureish games try to take after it (spiderman 2, ultimate spiderman, hulk, True Crimes, Driver, Godfather...) so for me it's "and the point of doing this quest/objective is what (other than obtaining doohickey number 7)?"

    yes.... Supreme Power and btw... supreme power's little extras (nighthawk, doc spectrum, the blur, and hyperion) are all going to come out in trade paperback form in a few months. And the max team officially went to Squadron supreme.
  14. The chimps are just a small part of the larger zoological organization run by gorrilla Grodd.

    not really. on a superman note... When he gets ticked off enough to curse your gonna die.... (he went up against darkseid after darkie "killed" the new supergirl... said "shut the hell up!" and knocked darksied up to near the sun thus supercharging himself. by supercharge I mean able to turn a god inside out.)
  16. from what I remember Enter got a lukewarm reception from reviewers. It sold quite a bit becauase it was a piece of the merchandising campaign of one of the best sci fi flicks of recent times. gameplay was... unique. not good unique not bad unique... just unique.
  17. and it looks like they do the trick Surrup mentioned of taking the best runs of each level and slapping them together.
  18. hmmm wonder what he deus ex one looksies likeses.
  19. you forget that they added hoth to EAW too.
  20. I actually found the original song to be even worse, so I favor the lesser of two evils... No, that was already in the special edition from 1996 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> that's what I meant... sorry. ZING!
  21. No no no...Tatooine is biggest cliche. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> wrong... hoth is probably the most used battle in the WORLD. Also I consider hoth to be more of a cliche because it's harder to impliment. Considering the sheer number of games that either A) mention it as a part of the plot or B) find some single piece of the freaking battle that hasn't been used, I'd consider hoth to be bigger than tattooine.
  22. An excellent company that was bought out and brought down. C&C3? I do not know about this. I was dissatisfied with the C&C games after Red Alert 2. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> those were only a moderate fps and generals which was NOT a C&C game.
  23. I wasn't saying it was necessairly with a video game...
  24. We all realize the biggest cliche of all... HOTH!
