  1. It would be pretty easy with a culture bomb. Don't know what are our chances of getting a Great Artist, though.
  2. If you want to do your shopping in Portugal, go here(
  3. Link To The Past is still the king of console games.
  4. Just saw Good Night and Good Luck. George Clooney has come a long way since "Return of The Killer Tomatoes".
  5. Books: Asimov's Foundation series Movies: Cube Cypher Blade Runner
  6. Why is it that these "debate" threads always degenerate into something like the following: "I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" "No, I'm right!" ...... And so on. You get the picture.
  7. Ah, everything is clear now! "Hot sweaty furry love." Now I know why the game got a perfect 10.
  8. Irenicus. But only because of David Warner. "You dare to attack me? You will suffer, you will all suffer!" And SHODAN, of course. In Movies: Dark Helmet On TV: Ms Musso
  9. Vagrant Story was awesomely brilliant.
  10. Hey, classical music is still alive. Just because we haven't had a 'popular'' composer since Shostakovich died doesn't mean the genre went belly up... My knowledge of new classical music is sketchy at best, but it seems to me that no living classical composer is as good as any of the greats.
  11. Just saw Dead of Night and Best In Show.
  12. I agree, UT has great AI. But the enemies in F.E.A.R. also work as a team in a way that I haven't seen in any other game.
  13. I don't know how reliable this site is as a source (I googled it), but this is what I've read in the past. I've never heard of that. Interesting. What I posted, I read in a book on Tolkien and his interest in philology. THIS book.
  14. Who? The only one I can think of is C.S. Lewis.
  15. Elves like the ones in Tolkien's fiction didn't exist before he invented them. Elves were some kind of tiny forest folk in english folklore. In fact, Tolkien made elves tall, beautiful and noble because he thought that, etymologically, the name "Elf" shouldn't belong to some foolish creatures prancing around in a forest. So "modern" elves are entirely his creation.
  16. Just saw Brokeback Mountain and Munich. They're both quite awesome. I think this is the first time that I've seen the Oscar nominations so well supplied with good movies.
  17. John Mayall - I'm Gonna Fight for You JB
  18. While Tolkien didn't invent "tolkien-style" fantasy, I dare say that without him the whole industry built around it wouldn't exist. Imagine, a whole world without David Eddings' or Terry Brooks' books. Bliss, I say.
