*raises hand* I guess Ill take the bullet for this one. I laugh like a bufoon every time I see an America's Funniest Home Videos episode that includes some kid severly racking his nuts in a skateboard trick gone bad.

No, that was a theory that Pope had. Also unless its just an oversight, "In their art, Taweret was depicted as a composite of all the things the Egyptians feared, the major part of her being hippopotamus, since this is what the constellation most resembled, with the arms and legs of a lioness, and with the back of a crocodile.", it cant be Taweret because it had human feet.

^And she has the two ankhs! That pretty much decides who the statue is, thanks Kor. EDIT: Meh, other depictions of Taweret show five toes.

Good catch, I hadnt noticed that. BTW, did Anubis only have four toes per foot or is that another twist? The statue had a crocodile face, Anubis has the face of a jackal. It was probably the statue of Sobek. Hmm, well Sobek definately has five toes in that link. The plot thickens!

I get tons of "brutal errors" too. Just FYI, you dont actually have to go back to the arena if the Brute youve chosen to fight has an error while loading, just hit the refresh button until it works.

Yeah, I got that. The good/evil was obvious especially with Jacob always harping that they have a "choice" and taking no action to defend himself. How he wore white but Smokey wore black. Lots of visual clues. All very "God" like. Ah, but the bomb may reset everything. The bomb pretty much had to work or all the rest of the Oceanic survivors would have been caught in the blast radius. I dont know what I feel would be a good wrap up. Reset time and none of it happened? Everyones dead except the ones on the beach? Im sure the "They're coming" comment from Jacob right before he gets kicked into the fire pit will confound things. Whose coming?

Being Italian my surname has a double R and is liberally sprinkled with vowels for flavor. Very very few people pronounce it correctly the first time.

Wow, awesome season finale even though I saw the

At that age, doesnt that mean she likes you and wants to have your awesome babies?

Heh, I was digging it. Did you ever finish it?

He's a pretty good author too if he ever feels like putting up his work again.

No, that was just an unfortunately placed root.

While were talking about Gromnir Ive had a question Ive been meaning to ask for years. In BGII there is a mini-boss named Gromnir Il-Kahn, which I think Gromnir used to go by back in the day. Was that name used in the game due to Gromnir winning something or was the nick lifted from the game? Which came first?

^I love that movie.

IIRC, they devs have said you can hop around from hub to hub in no particular order.

who said "one"? Heh, I was just busting chops. So in the originals, could you choose a specific eye? Would a targeted eyeshot take out both eyes?

Wait, how did shooting one eye out make them blind? That breaks IMMURSHUN!

I changed all four sets of brakes and two of the rotors on my car over the weekend. Saved some good coin but my hamstrings and back are a little sore. Getting old sucks.

There were two brief contests a few months ago. One was a fanfic which Calax won and the other was a picture caption thing that kirotu won. Winner of the fanfic got a shirt, signed copy of SoZ and his name in an upcoming game. Im not sure what the picture caption prize was but it was lesser then the fanfic.

^You should skim the 40-something page thread over at Bioware. Its got everything from praise to "Im quitting the forum", lol. EDIT: Oh, and sorry for that edit you had to do up there Gorth, I figured if I replaced a letter with an asterisk it wouldnt be a big deal.

What do you mean, do the ads change/update? Yep. The Wolverine posters have changed to Observe and Report (new Seth Rogen movie) posters. Do you suppose all the ad's are preloaded and on a certain date they change or do you think the game receives updates via the internet? ...Lesbian Vampire Killers... I just watched the trailer for that, BRILLIANT!

What do you mean, do the ads change/update? It would be interesting if on games that had to "phone home" to work that the adds periodically updates to reflect current products.

^Same here. Weird.
