Condolenses to the victims (terrorists != "victims" btw). It's tough when an attacks gets through despite the precautious taken. That's one too many. It's not easy juggling caution levels. On one hand too much is expensive (labour and infrastructure etc) and errodes privacy. When nothing happens (thankfully) there'll be people saying it's a fearmongering tactic taking advantage of peoples' fear to consolidate power. When **** slips through, people say the authorities weren't vigilant enough and it's their fault too.

Yeah, got them mixed up sorry

I'm thinking of getting the box set DVD for the prequels. I'll comment in-depth after I've wached all 3 again. The sequels definitely pwn the prequels' lightsaber fights and for imagery. What they miss though is a likeable character like Han Solo and the fun feeling of adventure (M.Falcon capers etc).

Bastilla's romance was definitely more fleshed out, but that doesn't change the fact that she's too stiff. Overall I'd prefer Handmaiden or Visas over Bastilla if they'd developed them more.

On a tangent, I was watching a programme about supersize kids living in England and in one case a older teenage girl and her mom decided to get the intestine surgery (can't remember exact term) that drastically reduces their stomach capacity -> appetite so they'll slim down like crazy. Basically they told the divorced husband/father about this a few weeks before the operation, and the girl cried when he said that she wouldn't need it if she had a change of lifestyle (ie not staying with the mom/house stuffed with junkfood/cake etc) and went to a fat camp. Anyway they went ahead with the surgery and for the rest of their lives they'll be eating small servings of highly regulated gruel because they can't digest complex foods anymore. Effective, yes but I don't understand why she'd pick a lifetime of gruel over some effort while maintaining the ability to eat normal food. In the programme, a boy cried when he was confronted over eating undercover while he was supposed to be on a diet to lose weight (he put on weight after his routine started and they snooped on him after school).

I think HK-47 needs more solo missions in KOTOR sequels.

What is an Olympic? Does it taste good?

Your kids might actually be interested in the stuff when they're old enough.

I think the Japanese are fairly developed in speed eating. There are a few ppl that practice and run in competitions. I remember watching these two skinny men on Adam and Joe race to polish off a huge bowl of curry and rice. Good times. ^_^

It's actually a pretty good topic. Not sure if the Jedi would have the focus of shielding/beating off lots of solid projectiles heading their way. So far I haven't seen any evidence to say that Jedi can create forcefields that can stop solid matter.

Sounds good )

Maybe because your characters are guardians in a physical fight? My last game as a Sith Lord dualing sabers with master flurry (average 35 damage/hit x 5) had a really tough time against the final boss which had 1000+ hit points.

Destroy droid's still pretty powerful. I remember thinking that I was screwed in the Mandalorian bunker but two uses of that took them all out except the toughest one which was stunned and near death.

For some reason people turn Sith the older they get.

Useless info: There was a vending machine at my uni that would drop 2 drinks instead of 1. The bad news is they were vanilla coke.

*Points and laughs at the ppl that got Carth"

Yoda gave up because Sidious had the high ground. If he had kept trying, he'd have lost his limbs.

It's been awhile since KOTOR2's been out - has the sales data been compiled on the number of console and PC sales?

I love coffee

How old is McDiarmid btw? Credit to him and John Williams, I'm glad they survived and were very much capable of doing the prequels 20 years later on.

He meant to do that, duh

On a related note, why can't I get stuff from the Jedi masters that meet and I kill on Dantooine?

Kreia's tough... I was playing my 2nd game as a DS'er and she had 1000+ hit points and I had to reload a few times

Chelsea FC followed by AC Milan. Italy at national level.

I felt quite sad (ok, more than a bit) when Bao-Dur gave his final mission to his remote.
