Not Chu, You! "haha, i am so witty and topical"

It isn't specific to my country, but i hate it when people passionately argue politics loudly in public while pretending that they know everything there is to know about the subject.

Quoted for truth. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

V for Vendetta=the best movie I have seen in a long time. There are a few reasons for the movie's greatness: It seemed to be inspired by 1984, which is one of the better books that I've read. The acting was superb for V. Portman did a good job too. Witty and complex dialogues. Portman is still teh hotness even with her hair shaved off. Solid action sequences. Passionate and mostly realistic characters. Overall a good story. Though tis based on an already published graphic novel, the Wachowski Bros. may have redeemed themselves with this movie.

First post of thread: Also, if people were more well-read, then they would understand the reference in the topic title. In any case, the paper has been written; thank you all for trying. The discussion may continue if you all feel like it or not.

I almost laughed, but then i realised you were serious. The topic of this thread refers to the brainwashed zombies of the government in George Orwell's book, 1984. NOT A STUPID TV SHOW OF WHICH I HAVE NEVER HEARD! Leisurely I came here to probe the minds of a forum community which I believe can thoroughly discuss controversial matters in an interesting way. I'll remind myself not to do it again. That V for Vendetta idea is genious though. Too bad it's not a presentation...

You are correct. This topic is the result of a misconception about the game. Unnecessary addendum: The academy was never totally destroyed. It was shot at from space and therefore looked like it had been through a hurricaine, but it was never destroyed totally. Some areas caved in, some greenery got out of control after a while, but it was just the door that wouldn't allow you into the center which made the topic starter believe that it had to be rebuilt, whereas in reality the jedi masters wanted in badly and so moved the rubble from the entrance. Simple.

You guys are useless <_< (except mothman, and maybe gabs. both wrote 3 sentences a piece)

Okay, so that was not the best of starts. How about more than a sentence per post? I want you all to think.

First of all, i see that there is already a thread similar to this, but hopefully this will be a more focused discussion. The point of this is to generate more ideas for a paper i am going to write. I have some ideas already, but I'd appreciate some idea bandying. Okay, here goes: Government is a necessary evil. Some freedoms are sacrificed for others to be preserved. But at what point does a government's grasp become too tight? Specifically, I would like to hear everyone's opinions on the surveillance issue. What are the pros and cons of a government being able to obtain information about any part or all parts of your life? Why should an individual worry about this.

Like your sense of humour? ... meh, that was a lame one. it's more like my sense of humour Edit: On topic... that rumour of K3 is appealing, but sadly i am sure it is not true. Another idea, maybe the K3 PC should be based canonically to be female, so as to change up the series, since Revan and Exile seem to be based canonically as males. Of course, the male PC's campaign would still be good... just a thought.

That doesn't interest me very much. I'd rather see overall better storylines for the Male and Female PC's; they should be varied and deep. Having more races is detrimental to that end.

Unless the next liberal Euro is Battlecookie...

No, you are a waste of oxygen.......

-Sphere by Michael Chrighton is a really good one i think. -I'll second the Starship Troopers book by Heinlein. The movie is good in its own way, though, different. (the book is better) -Halo: the Fall of Reach by Eric Nylund. First of all, the title may put people off to this book (since it is a "prelude" to Bungie's "Halo" game), so I must dispell any misgivings that this book is automatically lame, because it is not. If you liked Starship Troopers, you'd probably like this one. -Ender's Game is once again recommended here. if you liked it so much after you read it that you have an undismissable desire to read another book in the series, i think the next one you should read is Ender's Shadow. -i also recommend 1984. somewhat similar but shorter is Farenheit 451 by ray bradbury. both are good books respectively.

Post hoc, ergo propter hoc.

i venture to say that end sequence was worse than K2's... :ph34r:

It depends on which continuity path is chosen for the next game. K3 won't have an elaborately shrouded storyline where you only know that revan and the jedi exile existed and they had crewmates who existed; i believe that would be stupid story-wise on the devs part. Although, they could just screw the current storyline and be 100 years in the future in a different part of the galaxy: the old republic would still exist, maybe a new jedi order, but nobody would claim to know the people from K1+2

If there are reviews just after Gold (and WAY before Release) you can be certain they got cash in order to give a good review... Another thought-provoking post by our resident part-time conspiracy theorist.

hmm, speaking of explosive diarrhea...

naw, it's an interesting idea i guess, but there are many people who want a new playable character, as opposed to exile and/or revan again. The idea about how they would be different plot-lines is good, since many successful novels switch between plot-lines like that, and i am sure there could be many options upon confrontation, if you have none, one, the other, or both characters be DS. One tip for inserting ideas, is to space your post with paragraphs, since it seems easier to the brain to finish a small segment and be done, like a checkpoint. Anyway, welcome to the forums i guess.
