    I saw one of his shows once in passing and he seemed to be intentionally getting into the face of a deadly, venom spitting cobra.

     

    It was awesome and stupid at the same time and I have to say he probably had one coming, but I am sad to see such a badass yet easygoing guy go.

     

    Rest in Peace.

    One of the things I'm actually looking forward to is dying and seeing what happens. Of course I want a long and fruitful life, but I'm curious. I want see the reactions on people's faces when they die and find out they their entire belief system does not exist. Or what they do when they find out they were right. Will the act smug and gloat? Will they try to save the non-believers?

     

    Personally, I think when you die, you get a one-on-one meeting with whatever supreme, omniscient and all powerful being thats up there. You'll also have access to your memories and experiences from past lives and based on that, you'll have to think about what you've learned. You'll have to answer this Supreme Being, which I think will be a collective mind of the souls that have reached enlightenment, and tell It what you've learned.

     

    Based upon your answer, the Supreme being will send you back as something else, so you can experience something new and become a little more enlightened, or you request being sent back as something to see what you can learn. Or you can just hang around in Limbo contemplating and eating pizza. There's no hurry.

     

    My answer will probably involve something about video games being cool and work being bad. No doubt I'll be reborn as some homeless guy so I'll be deprived of both and see what it feels like.

     

    Yep, I'm a far way from nirvana.

     

    And Yep I'm pretty sure this is how it is up there. Its a matter of faith and therefore you cannot argue with me and prove me wrong. :)

    Revan vs. Thrawn

    Yes, I do.

     

    Thrawn was killed by his own bodyguards wasn't he? I think his bodyguards found out that the Empire was responsible for the contamination of their Planet or something and exacted their revenge?

     

    You can always count on something right under your nose will blow up in your face in the SW universe.

    Ju-On: The Grudge

     

    Quite scary. Not much else, really, but the director did what he set out to do.

     

    Heh, I watched that one while I was living in this dark half-basement room with a crazy Chinese landlord who looked just like one of those ghosts.

     

    I watched it at night with all the lights off and couldn't fall asleep after that.

    I'm probably beating a dead horse but anyways.

     

    I think that the main focus of a potential K3 should be about tieing up the loose ends and giving players a satisfying conclusion to the story arcs of Revan, Exile and the significant party members.

     

    I would love to see something new in the SW universe, new characters, new worlds, new gameplay and a new storyline. Its all good. However, I think these things should be saved for the next grand story of another hero/villain.

     

    Knights of the Old Republic for me, is about the story of Revan and to a lesser extent, the Exile.

     

    I am aware that many people feel that Revan's story is done and that we don't need to know anymore. For me though, K2 left open a lot of questions about Revan. Enough for me to want to know more about his motivations and history.

     

    I am also aware that a lot of people want a new character to play and that playing again as Revan wouldn't be true role-playing since you're just playing someone else's character.

     

    I think that playing as Revan again would be a interesting experience in role-playing. In the current Revan resides two characters, The pre-amnesia Revan and the characters that the players have created. I don't believe that just because Revan regained a significant portion of his memories that he reverts back to his original character that players didn't create. It will be more like a clash of personalities. I think it would be fun for developers as well as players to explore how the player created Revan reacts and comes to terms with his memories. Whether he accept them, reject them, wallow in despair, try to right wrongs, question his motivations at the time and his following actions. Does he accept his choices, or does he regret them. As Revan does whatever he is trying to accomplish in the Sith worlds, certain events or encounters might trigger some memory that leads to Revan contemplating about his past and coming to a decision that will affect the current course in the game and his character alignment and motivation.

     

    Wait....this sounds like Starwars: Torment... :">

     

    Revan as just a Cameo in his black mask and suit would just trivialize the main character in this SW time period I think.

     

    Your thoughts on my thoughts?

    I'm in a 'I want to watch movies that I vaguely remember watching as a kid before my parents forbid me to watch anymore and sent me away' phase.

     

    So far I've watched Earth Girls are Easy with Jeff Goldblum, Geena Davis, Jim Carrey and Damon Wayans, Death Race 2000, David Carradine and Sly Stallone, American Werewolf in London, The Wraith, a movie where Charlie Sheen comes back in this Phantom Car to get revenge on people who killed him, Spacehunter with Michael Ironside who is a evil robot dictator who sucks the lifeforce from young nubile women, Krull which I think is a coolest movie ever and Conan the Destroyer.

     

    What old movies should I watch next...

    Right, you have to satisfy your cravings. But not too many times!

     

    How about joing a gym thats open 24 hours? I found that having a place to workout no matter no late or dark it is outside was really convenient. I currently work out at a local 24 hour fitness club so I can go there even if I get back home late.

     

    Plus if your legs hurt from speed-walking and light jogging, there are cardio machines at gyms like stationary bikes and ellipticals that will make you work up a sweat and put less pressure on your knees.

     

    I found the elliptical machine highly effective for losing weight since you're moving your arms, legs and torso. You should work at a speed where you can feel a burn in your muscles and try to maintain that for at least 30 minutes. But of course don't over do it at first.

     

    Also you get access to all the machine weights and free weights which are essential for increasing your strength and metabolism. There are a lot of books out there that outline workout with weights so read up and set a weight training program and focus on that. Its easy just to stumble from machine to machine aimlessly not doing anything if you don't have a program.

     

    Good Luck Hades

    I agree that players should be able to pick the gender and appearance of Revan and Exile if playing as a new PC. I think the problem is how will players imbue those avatars Revan and Exile with the personalities and motivations each player has created in their heads.

     

    Will players be able to choose dialogue options and actions for Revan, Exile and the new PC if they meet and converse?

     

    Will the game have three main sections for Revan, Exile and the new PC?

     

    Wouldn't this alienate new players?

     

    Of course there is no guarantee the game will be like this, but its fun to speculate.

    Conan!

    I wanted something dark and gritty to read for sometime. I watched Conan the Barbarian(after many years) a few days back. I suddenly remembered that there was a whole setting dedicating to Conan, created by Robert E. Howard. I think this might fit the bill.

     

    Can I get some input on how good the books are from you avid readers out there.

     

    Thanks!

    What game got you hooked?

    So what was everyone's first game? The first game that really got you hooked on games?

     

    My memory goes all the way back to Donkey Kong Jr. for Colecovision. The little gorilla trying to save his father from the evil clutches of Mario...I think. Jumping from platform to platform, then from moving platforms, avoiding spikes and flying alligator heads.

     

    Ahh, I can't believe I'm that old.
