The World's Biggest Straw Yule Goat
there's no conflict .. the goat is a symbol of Christmas (for the Swedes) and burning it would be serving both your needs.. taking a swing at teh holiday and tending to your pyromanic tendencies... it's a win/win!

Have an Idea of a videogame? Post it here!
how about a game that starts out like say .. The Longest Journey (the first one) - where you take care of your job, talk to your friends and generally do a bunch of normal stuff for about an hour an a half.. then the world "ends".. and you survive somehow - searching through the now destroyed city for other survivors or what-ever.. wait that actually sounds a bit like Half-Life .. only on the surface.. (and here I thought I was being original)

What's so bad about the dark side anyway?
yes what is so bad about the dark side anyway .. Today many hold the belief of moral relativism - that states that a morality holds no absolute truth and is subjective based on the cultur, social position and historical background of the person in question (as well as his own idea of all said) - and while I too adhear to this form - It's not comparable with SW, sure you will see some of it shine through - as the story is again based on Earth's culture, social history and historical events. It's in a way GL's own moral relativism taken to the extreme - as all other factors are removed, but his imagination. and when this is the case it's moot to question it within itself, you can draw conclusions on our reality - but all that you will find by analysing morality insinde SW (and confining it to SW) is your own version of a constructed universe. Which doesn't say much about what you analyzed, just what you chose to see.. Now this is true because things can be absolute in fictional works - good is doing so and so ... an evil is doing the opposite.. and I believe this holds true for SW.. and of course there are shades of grey in our reality - but that's why we write these stories - so that we can have a look at ourselves through new eyes. (disclaimer: I know I wrote this as if it's an absolute thruth myself - but you can look at this as a piece of fiction as well - I create a personal universe and try to implement things from reality in it.. in order to explain said things without having to write: I think, I believe and it's my understanding that - etc. )

What's so bad about the dark side anyway?
This thread tries to question morality in general (I feel) - but fails to do so as it's foundation is fictional universe in which things are supposed to be stereotypical.. Now you can question reality through fiction (as it will always be inspired by the real world), but not fiction through reality - because then you remove the very foundation of the fictional universe, it's own reality.

Have an Idea of a videogame? Post it here!
A Total War/Homeworld kinda game mixed with Civilization and Galactic Civilizations.. where you take a custom civilization and conquer your homeplanet - and then turn your attention to the stars - in RTS .. now that would be epic!

Movies You Have Seen Lately
in retrospect it wasn't as creepy .. but when the first alarm went off I was literally biting my nails.. and the scenery really made the film what it was/is .. beautiful really - much like the in the games..

A New PC
we have a really good Danish website called EDBpriser.. which compares the prices of almost every online (or at at least those with websites) stores in Denmark.. maybe I should consider ordering from an international store.. Danish prices can be up to 25% more expensive.. :crazy: but as I said I'll put it off until sometime next year - and then buy a high-end computer instead.. (if I'll survive not being able to play MTW2! )

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I just saw Silent Hill ... now that.. is.. a scary movie! but I was totally absorbed in the story - I could never play any of the games (they were too creepy) and the film had the same horror-effect on me .. my concious mind was lying in a fetal position on the floor mumbling to itself "make it stop... make it stop" .. Best horror movie I've seen - or at least the only horror movie that actually made me feel afraid.. 8/10

The World's Biggest Straw Yule Goat
Swedish behaviour is way beyond understanding.. but some new advancements in biogenetics could possibly allow us to unlock their unique genom.. and give us an interesting insight into the wicked and twisted mind (and composition) of the average Swede.. or so we hope .. for the sake of not only Scandinavia - but mankind!

A New PC
hmm it seems I should wait and save some more money .. my current computer really stinks and I can barely run HL2 in 1024x768 - I was hoping to be able to buy a medium sized com (actually somewhat like your current build) - but that was unrealistic of me, as it would actually cost much more - as I would have to upgrade within the next year anyway.. but that means I won't be able to buy it until sometime next year..

A New PC
Well time has come for me to build a new PC .. and I'm totally lost! I was somewhat into things 5 years ago - but it seems that the world of computers have fastforwarded in the meantime.. But anyway - I'm looking to buy a CPU, motherboard, RAM and a new Graphic card... Now money is an issue - so I'm looking for perfomance at low cost - I doesn't need to be top of the line - but it has to be able to run some of the newer games.. I've studied the new dual-cores - but they are a bit too expensive - so I'll probably just stick with an old fashion single CPU - 2.5+ Ghz and I'm looking for an affordable PCI Express card which still delivers.. any suggestions? what are your experiances? and do you prefer AMD over Intel? (and why?) - Always had AMD myself - but it seems Intel is cheaper compared to what you get Ghz-wise.. I hope some of you people can help me out! - Rosbjerg

The World's Biggest Straw Yule Goat
this is what we have to live with .. I'm suprised that we don't get some kind of EU aid just for being your neighbours.. silly swedes.. and to think you actually kicked our asses so many years ago.. it still amazes me!

Movies You Have Seen Lately
well one of the reason why he almost had no lines in Arhtur was partially because of his bad english.. but I just saw the thrailer and he's improved alot .. which is good - I don't mind an accent - but his was a bit over the top before.. gotta see soon I think .. James Bond films are some of the best action packed in the buisness..

What's so bad about the dark side anyway?
your examples are way to general DeathScepter.. an Enemy could be anyone who opposed you - and there's almost always a way to get information without toture..

What Sex Do You Play?
I seriously doubt it's because of gender insecurity that men play males.. ^_^

Sit up straight......
Yeah - I always lean back, because it hurts when I sit up straight for too long.. but I also have a chair that you actively have to keep straight .. so maybe that's why I lean back..

Anyone watch SG1 or SG Atlantis
Yeah that's just silly writing.. I'm always amused at how stupid some writers are.. they get these great ideas - but then they have no idea how to get the hero out of it again .. so they end up doing something so spectacular and unrealistic that it destroyes the show .. like when they were being besieged and then all of a sudden they managed to send the cavalry through the Stargate to save the day.. wasn't the whole point that they were stranded and had to figure out how to survive on their own? and with the Pegasus it's more like Star Trek than SG-1 ..

Hungarian Events
I can't believe that you've lost all hope in 1-2 months? have he picked random people of the streets or executed anyone? This sounds to me like you haven't even opposed him ... simply accepted that he's in charge and you, the people, can't do anything about it .. sure the police use violence when a crowd goes outta control .. but sometimes you have to send a message - "we'll keep rioting until you step down" - and if he kills anyone - well then this reign will be a very very short one..
