Read the comics, read the novels, get an informed opinion, and come see me in the morning. ) No. That is because the duel between Mace and Palps is performed by real actors (and poor Ian isn't as agile as he used to be) while the fight between Yoda and the Emperor (emporer? ) is largely CGI. And no, you are right. Your post is not speculation. It's just plain wrong.

Great. Thanks for yet another bigoted comment whose resemblence to any person living or dead is merely coincidental. Ironically enough, your definition is subject to a relativistic interpretation... "

Well, that may be a method to achieve great speeds, but it's not useful to surpass the speed of light. The cause is that in order to accelerate an object with a mass different than zero to the speed of light, you need infinite energy. A black hole, no matter how massive, generates a gravitational field with enormous, yet finite, gravitational potentials. Which means you could only get so much energy from the gravitational pull of a black hole. You could probably accelerate to relativistic speeds, but never beyond c.

You obviously can't tell the difference between speculation and fact. The only thing in my post that resembles speculation is the part where I say that I don't think Sidious could have beaten Mace fair and square. But I already stated that it is nothing but my personal opinion and as such it holds no specific weight. The rest of the post are just observed facts, and applied logic. I dare you to try and find a flaw in it. BTW, Kissamies, your sig is awesome. What is that?

What? Was it my fault? What did I do?

Yes. However it's difficult to catch up with someone who has been playing FPSs for 8-10 hours a day for years already.

That was not an arguement. More like a clinical description.

Perhaps that is because that is an unofficial interview about unofficial stuff in an unofficial site? It would be a wasted effort to script it.

Once more you prove your utter inability to read. My post contained no speculations at all. Unless you are referring to my assumption of you banging your head against the wall, which could certainly be considered speculation. But it's either extensive cranial trauma or a catastrophic genetic flaw the only possible causes for your uncanny stupidity. Take your pick. )

Comparatively, gravity is pretty weak. In fact, for it to be representative, it needs to be produced by a really massive body (a planetary or stellar body), while electromagnetic interactions are observable with much smaller amounts of their generating particles. However, since gravitons haven't been discovered as of yet, this is just speculation. And gravity doesn't act at infinite distance with the same force. At an infinite distance from the point of origin, the force caused by a gravitational field is zero. It decreases proportionally to the inverse of the square of the distance. Flux is a mathematical concept that is defined as the amount of field lines that cross a given surface. It is useful because choosing an convenient surface and calculating the flux through that surface is a good way to indirectly measure the cause of the field.

You know, some people like to use their heads for other things than wearing a hat. And no, I'm not referring to banging it against the wall like you do.

And that's about it. Let's not forget that Palps calls out for help to Ani before the Jedi show up. In the novel (or at least that fragment that was posted here) it clearly says that Palps sensed Ani approaching. So he had two options. The first was to employ himself to the full extent of his abilities to try and beat Mace, and then face Ani surrounded by the corpses of the masters, exhausted and wielding his sith lightsaber. Ani wouldn't be pleased by that sight and would have probably attacked Palps. He would be exhausted after the fight with Mace and there were no guarantees that he could have beaten him in the first place. A losing scenario for Palps even if he somehow managed to beat both Ani and Mace. The other option was to let Mace "win", let himself be disarmed and then appear as nothing but a helpless old man in the eyes of Ani. It's interesting that Ani arrives just after Palps has lost his lightsaber. He knew that Mace could not stand against both of them. In the novel it's stated that Mace takes advantage of a fear he believes to stem from Palps to boost his fighting skills. But then Palps mocks him and reveals that the fear that Mace senses is not his, but probably Anakin's. So, at least to some degree, Palps was pretending. In the end I think it's most likely that Palps played a very dangerous game with Mace and Ani, and won. In spite of that, I don't think Palps could have beaten Mace fair and square, but that's just a personal opinion and I don't think anyone can say for sure. However, Palps was a sith, and a smart one at that, so he cheated whenever he could. That's why he won in the end. Oh, and about Yoda being raped by Palps, I always thought that he had to retreat because Palps was getting reinforcements, not because he was losing. I thought it was a stalemate during the whole fight.

It's not like you would get anything else with the retail version...

Nooooooooooooooooooooo! Yep. That's one of the worst problems of the game. It's full of n00bs whose only goal in the game is to grab a chopper... only to crash it five seconds later in an astounding display of lack of hand-eye coordination. But sometimes, only sometimes, you may find a server where people are actually trying to play and win the game, forming squads, making use of the commander features, and sometimes, even ignoring the aircraft spawn points!

Er... yes. That's what I get for posting instead of sleeping. I wish I could conduct a formal demonstration, but that's way beyond me. However, I think that since pi is the proportionality constant between the radius of a circunference and its perimeter, and such values can never be the result of operating one of them with a rational multiplier, it's hard to conceive that changing the base could change such a fundamental fact.

You obviously have no clue about modern urban warfare... "

Well, you are more than welcome to have your "own" definition of things, but, as it is now, complex definitions of dimensions, (as in not euclidean) apparently are needed in some of the most cutting-edge scientific theories. Impossible from an intuitive, euclidean conception, yes. But outright impossible? I wouldn't dare state as much.

My favorite gaming moment is getting that game I've been waiting for and starting to play it. It always goes downhill from there.

All that is inconsequential. I wouldn't waste time pulling my hood up and down any more than I would change my PC's hairdo to go with the scene's mood. As for lightsaber customization, just give a few different hilts from where to choose and give the NPCs their own hilt. Just to add some flavor, but it's not really important either.

I'm not sure but I suspect the AI isn't very good at forming squads and working in groups. And that is the best way to succeed (and have fun!) in BF2. A team with well balanced squads, that actually listen to their team commander's orders has it done if the commander is half-competent. Snipers are a necessity. It just wouldn't make sense to have everything you would find in a battlefield except for snipers. And while a happy camper may piss you off, their impact is relatively small. They have to be static to be effective, which means they are only useful as anti-infantry defensive units. But then again, they are defenseless against anything heavier than a buggy, and tend to get raped by airstrikes and artillery. Believe me, the worse you can find is not an enemy camper. It's your own teammates camping the helicopter spawn site. THAT sucks.

Interestingly enough, 1+1 isn't necessarily 2. It's only 2 because that's how we have established numeric algebra, perhaps from an intuitive notion. But in boolean algebra, for example, 1+1=11. I lack the specific knowledge in set theory but I suspect it goes much deeper. And there are parts in the universe in which the addition of two amounts makes no sense, and to explain those we had to develop new mathematical operators, new abstractions in order to make a mental diagram of reality. While it's true that 1+1=2, this is nothing more than a human abstract fabrication. ...what was I talking about, again?

Yeah, I've played the demo a lot and I'm probably going to get it when those losers at the stores around here have it available. Much better than '42 IMO.

What are you talking about. Experts agree that my

Exactly! And that's why battleships are outdated!

I don't think so. Nuclear fusion is still sci-fi. Er... yeah. I know people are posting the Death Star and stuff, but at least they aren't pretending it exists IRL.
