was the Great Hunt racist?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Eddo36's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
:D -
Which is why they are still there not looking so much like invaders now eh ? Democracy relies on compromise and since fanatics dont it's better to wipe them all out then we can have some peace and quiet. I grew up in Ireland until my folks moved us out and it's not what I would call a pleasent experince.

Do you ever feel guilty
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to mrchallenge's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Occasionally I do. In KOTOR playing DS never made that much sense until the point when you found out your identity. Not likely that the Jedi council are going to program you with an evil identity now is it :D. And while Carth and Bastila deserve a spanking for using you Mission and Zalbaar were never in on it so no particular reason to do them in. I never play any game to be a particular side. I play my character and select the options they would select rather than selecting the option that always pushes me furth along one path or another. -

GEORGE LUCAS PLANS KOTOR ERA MOVIE!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Nur Ab Sal's topic in Way Off-Topic
If you actually paid attention then you would see that I dont have a problem with his writing, but his screenwriting and his directing both of which are mediocre and which no one has yet presented evidence to the contrary. So you can proclaim George as much as you like because you cant prove that he is a good director or screenwriter and your "evidence" only proved he was succesful and it's irrelvent. The skill of the screenwriter is the pacing. Movies move faster than books and you need to get across whats going on usually in a fraction of the time. The actors performance also depends a lot on the writer and director. Because to paraphrase Harrison Ford George writes **** you cant say easily. -
Remind me never to visit there. Anakin is a bit dense. He probably thought he was better than he actually was too since Obi Wan beat him. But thats what happens when you go around calling someone the chosen one. If the Jedi were smart they would have kept that little titbit to themselves.

GEORGE LUCAS PLANS KOTOR ERA MOVIE!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Nur Ab Sal's topic in Way Off-Topic
No the evidence suggests he is a marketing genius nothing there suggests he is a great writer director. Especially since the most acclaimed episode of SW wasnt written or directed by him. It's like those actors who do music, they suck but they have money so they can get away with it.Merchandising made Georges fortune not film making. I look at it like I do ILM fantastic studio because they hire the best people for the job. "10. The Superlative Cast & Crew - It's hard not to overlook the fact that George Lucas' involvement here wasn't as full-on as in the other movies. He wrote the story for The Empire Strikes Back, but not the screenplay (the late Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan are credited) and although he produced this movie, he didn't direct it: Irvin Kershner did. Read into that what you will..." -
That may have possibly been the case 5-10 years ago. But RPG wise the PC has nothing to recomend it in recent history. Can't really deny the FPS thing, although as someone who pretty much grew up with mouse keyboard as I'm sure most of us did it's something that very ingrained into my being. People who have never played PC FPS games seem much more skilled when it comes to console controls, probably because that is what they are used to.

GEORGE LUCAS PLANS KOTOR ERA MOVIE!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Nur Ab Sal's topic in Way Off-Topic
I guess George is dumb then because thats his opinion too. You belong in the flat earth society because your just as dellusional as they are. Here you go. FACT 5. something based on evidence: something that is based on or concerned with evidence. And the evidence is George is a mediocre screenwriter/director so thanks for playing but the game is now over and you lost. -
Small things that KOTOR 2 lacked
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Strika's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Dictionary is your friend. So slight as to be difficult to detect or describe. Difficult to understand; abstruse: an argument whose subtle point was lost on her opponent. Characterized by skill or ingenuity; clever. Crafty or sly; devious. Operating in a hidden, usually injurious way; insidious: a subtle poison. as opposed to Easily perceived or understood; quite apparent. See Synonyms at apparent. Easily seen through because of a lack of subtlety; transparent: an obvious political ploy. Which is KOTOR to a tee. -

Star Wars KotOR3: Myth or Fact?
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to =Overlord='s topic in Computer and Console
I cant think of anyone else who could have pulled off what Obsidian did in the time they had. I also cant think of anyone I would rather do KOTOR III as long as this time they are given a respectable window of development. -
I'll probably sound like a small-minded xenophobic cretinous impatient simplistic boorish halfwit for saying this [promising start -Ed], but hearing that a game is based upon "Japanese mythology" tends to put me off these days. Normally what follows such a revelation is the equally startling revelation that swords, demons and wronged children and/or warlords are involved, with a lead character whose latent folklore-y-ness is key to progression, and pause menus drawn on scrolls. Okami, however, redresses my much-disclaimed internal imbalance, because while it does have swords, they are being wielded by mice who are gods, and while there are demons, they are enormous spiders who turn around and splatter you with webbing, and while the lead character does have latent folklore-y-ness which is key to progression, she is a wolf who is slices up rocks with a paintbrush, and instead of menus drawn on scrolls the whole game looks like it's been hand-painted by cave-dwelling Buddhists. (Rob tells me that it's not folklore incidentally; it's religion. So: small-minded xenophobic cretinous impatient simplistic boorish halfwit who does no research.) Advertisement Moving away from my failings as both a human being and a journalist, let's talk about Okami. E3 may be a frenzy of hyperbole at the best of times, but I'm going to say this anyway: it is the most beautiful PlayStation 2 game I've seen since ICO. Think cel-shading and swirly cloud effects, Zelda: Wind Waker style, with a liveliness to the lines that makes it look like it's being sketched as you play, and a kind of ethereal air infused through a deliberately washed out look and colours that blend and sparkle into each other - all given a further boost by a vital texture filter that imbues it with a wonderful painted canvas aesthetic. Taking on the role of Amaterasu from the third-person (with, intelligently, a choice of over-the-shoulder and far out views), you're charged with returning life and colour to a world robbed of it by a nasty demon called Orochi. Aided by a little nymph-y thing called Issun who bobs up and down on your head, you learn the art of the "celestial brush", a paintbrush that becomes central to combat, puzzles and indeed recolouring the world. In one section you're faced with a river blocked by a kind of heavenly dust, and you part the way by holding R1 to bring up the brush and using the analogue stick to paint a path for yourself. It gets better. Rocks that block the way can be sliced in half by bringing up the brush and slicing across them - the top half then tumbling off like a magazine sliding off a slanted surface. Wooden stake barriers are the same. And the brush's use in battle is even more interesting. When enemies spring up the whole area is fenced off by swirling clouds - a sight in itself - and your enemies close in. Amaterasu can tackle them with square, landing several quick hits, and take them out that way if you please, but it's more fun when they're dizzied a little and Issun quickly circles them in red. Hit and hold R1 in this split second and draw a line reasonably accurately across them in one gesture of the analogue stick and when you let go of R1 they'll be torn asunder too, top half severed and sent flying. There's enough magic about Okami from this increasingly wary gamer's perspective to bring forth giddy laughter, and in the brief demo session allowed by Capcom's fearsome eye-daggering chaperones (who were actually very nice people who brought me a sandwich and would probably have made me a cup of tea if I'd asked), I barely scratched the surface. There are 13 gods of brush, as my note-taking dubbed them, whose powers can be added to your repertoire, and the story is strong, the voice acting Animal Crossing gibberish-esque (urge to froth even more approvingly now strong), and the range of tasks seemingly quite varied. And, to return to the thing that hooked me in in the first place, it looks extraordinary. One of Amaterasu's brush strokes sees her circling withered trees, which then flourish and blossom in front of you. My little heart jumped. Then, having finished a task that involved redrawing a sword on a decrepit statue of a god, slicing down a peach in the main hub area saw an entire village community bloom in front of me. I'm about as capable of articulating visual excellence as I am tidying the lounge through a hangover, but the screenshots alone must be able to convey to some extent the distinctiveness and stylishness of what Clover Studio has managed here.

Hope you find this as funny as I did.

I think a lot of them have no choice but to believe it or their entire lives would collapse.. Anyway I have a question that I cant see an answer too over there. According to the flat earthers , how thick is the earth ? -
Greatest Lightsaber Duelist?

If that were true he would have cooked himself crispy when he tried to lightning Mace. -
Then your an idiot. Look at it like this. The police come to search your house and they have a warrant to do so (UN approval). Since you have nothing to hide you let them in give them the grand tour and if your worried about them planting stuff call in a third party witness. They find nothing they go away. You act like an arse to them because they are "invading your space" lock doors behind them as they are searching and generally act like a nuiscence. Honestly now would you be suprised if you got arrested even though they find nothing? Dont forget in this context Saddam is a convicted criminal (first war) which means they have no reason to trust him and every reason not to. Well if George is as devious as you give him credit for instability just further plays into his hands because thats the next platform to launch from.

GEORGE LUCAS PLANS KOTOR ERA MOVIE!
ShadowPaladin V1.0 replied to Nur Ab Sal's topic in Way Off-Topic
Are you by any chance a member of the flat earth society? No one on here has seen me agressive but if I took a flat earther into space and they still said the world was flat I would feel inclined to push them out of the spaceship :D My opinions dont matter more, when its purely opinion all things are equal. But facts matter and factually George is mediocre when it comes to writing screenplays and directing. Now if you cant accept that it's because you are so far up George you cant see it, or because you dont have any wider references to draw on. It's called brainwashing not enlightenment when you try to force people to accept things that are plainly not true. All of which gives your opinion very little weight.
