No, that statement is based on what I know of him personally. Or rather what the people I know, know of him personally. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying the entire environmental movement is without merit (that is a whole different subject) and you should know I am no Republican looking to take shots at a Dem just for being a Dem. But so far the "Green Cause" is paying off big for him. After the 2000 election he was dead meat politically. He came out of that court battle looking like a sore loser, and the truth is he was the first presidential candidate in 120 years to lose his home state. He was a man dangling from a cliff by a tuft of grass. Now he is the toast of the Hollywood liberals and everything he says is treated as canon law by the media no matter how preposterous it might be or how little fact his statements may be based on. His name recognition is greater than ever, the 2000 election is in the distant past and if he steps into the race he becomes the immediate front runner with the ultra wealthy of Hollywood just dying to contribute to him. I don't see how becoming finally popular after 30 years of work on a a subject is oh so dastardly and underhanded. He's been trying to change policy in regards to climate change since the, at least, the late 70s. Maybe it's paid off in popularity lately, but the past 25 years of it, it did next to nothing. And he's still stuck with it. Hard to draw from that that it's simply a vehicle for advancement.

When has environmentalism ever been even a half decent vehicle for advancement? And I don't see anything about your story to imply he didn't actually care about the endangered specie of bird.

"Utility records show the Gore family paid an average monthly electric bill of about $1,200 last year for its 10,000-square-foot home. The Gores used about 191,000 kilowatt hours in 2006, according to bills reviewed by The Associated Press. The typical Nashville household uses about 15,600 kilowatt-hours per year." And that energy, by the way, is not green energy. He uses normal energy and "invests" in green power sources. Listen, I'm not even attacking the guy on his energy consumption as such. I don't really care. I just think that this is the exact sort of thing that draws fire. It has drawn fire. That's the way it is. So his consumption, according to that most conservative of think tanks, the Associated Press, is only several times more than the average household as opposed to severl times and then a couple more. The thing is they were never given the utility records. So, how did they get it? And yes, it is green energy. Nashville Electric Service offers a green energy substitution program where you can buy it in set blocks for a premium. I haven't done the math myself, but according to others, the cited killowatt hours and expenses correspond properly to paying this addition premium.

He does use a lot of energy, but that energy is all green energy. He's even paying significantly more than he would be if it weren't green. Where is the hypocrisy in that? How does that make him deserve ridicule? Of course "[Nashville Electric Service] company spokeswoman Laurie Parker said the utility never got a request from the policy center and never gave it any information." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,...1594368,00.html So, where are they getting the info?

You want to follow the adventures of some gay Jedi? But, we've done that. 15 billion times

Larsa has some bishōnen, but his voice gave it away properly.

So much enthusiasm for Jade Empire around here!

So... adventure games?

I think it might fall under laws regarding reverse engineering. What these laws are called and what purpose they serve interpreted in this fashion, I can't guess. In fact, I don't even trust the guess that is the first sentence of this post.

If you're asking that of me, then no, neither of them were MMOs.

Exclusively because Obsidian did not clean up the assets before release. Every game has cut content. Many games have significantly more content cut than TSL. It has nothing to do with a legitimate criticism against TSL and more convenient bandwagoning since people have been able to figure out what specifically was cut and where it would go. There is no legitimate difference between "cut content" that is put into the game after initial release and "added content." Most added content is actually just cut or unfinished content people didn't know about.

Silent Hill 2 is the first one off the top of my head. Some games like Final Fantasy X & Star Ocean: till the end of time if you live in Japan. Fable, Riddick.

What backlash? We've seen it done with movies and games countless times before. Though never with such a delay, except for the odd compilation or remake.
-
And I just said that Lucasarts are the only ones with say in the matter. It is a good idea, but it needs to be expressed to Lucasarts, they're the ones that need convincing.

If they really didn't want any suspicion cast on HRG, they should have made it a car wreck, not a shooting.

Who else would you rather see for a series set between the new and old trilogy? He's the second highest selling character after Darth Vader himself. And he's not a Jedi!
-
Kreia's redemption? Are you bonkers? Why would Kreia be redeemed? It would be up to, and only up to, Lucasarts to re-release the game. Which, based on previous reports and their new stance of only one Star Wars game a year, is not something they seem wont to do.

right. Isaac just chooses to wear the same tan coat and light blue shirt for fun. Maybe it was a remnant of some couples' shopping trip before Peter came in the picture. Simone: "Look Isaac! His and her matching outfits! Give me some money" Isaac: " But I need this coin for my junk!" I see the blue, now. All I saw when I looked at it was a white shirt, which is something Isaac wears a lot of.

That's a big assumption that is her behind her. Looks more like Isaac.

Promise of the Witch King by R.A. Salvatore After I finish book 3 in that trilogy (promise is only book 2), I'm going to read http://www.jonathanstrange.com/ Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. Friend keeps recommending it every time I mention how much I love The Prestige.

How much, if any, of that is green power? http://www.nespower.com/green_power_switch.aspx They cite the Nashville Electric Service in regards to his power consumption, but where are they getting the information on his natural gas bill? The point of the article is a significant one, though. I'm curious as to what Gore or others would have to say about it.

I always love hearing about their kite festivals. Especially the ones they have on the border with India.

Haha. When I play chaos I get pissed off at Imperial Guard. Upgraded they fire out of the range of sentry guns.

I was sidetracked with Battlefield 2142 this weekend. Didn't play anything else. I'm almost a Chief Petty Officer Gold and I'm falling in love with support.
