Bush's Power Grab
I am curious about that reasoning... Which country would you suggest is next in the line of those who needs intervention? North Korea (throwing around nuclear threats) ? Israel (constant human rights violations and two scores UN sanctions not adhered to) ? Iran (where even the president is a sick sexual pervert, shaking the hands of women) ? Columbia (so they can finally spray agent orange on anything with the colour green) ? Fiji (ruled by a general and the military) ? Syria (alledgedly hiding all the evidence that the coalition forces couldn't find in Iraq) ? Canada (Killer of baby seals and threatening danish sovereignty over Hans Island) ? China (list too long to even start on here) ? Pakistan (is already in possession of nuclear weapons) ? Etc. I think the US and UK needs to seriously reconsider the draft if you want to carry this kind if doctrine out

What are you playing now?
Struggling to complete a game of Tombraider Anniversary. Perhaps Crystal Dynamics should just stick to making new TR games, they were quite decent at that. TRA was a major disappointment. Small cramped levels, 75% ledge climbing on vertical walls and 25% boss fighting. They seem to have misunderstood something completely (or simply just cashing in on the name, ignoring everything that made the original fun). Also, playing a game of BG1 on my desktop computer, tried the BGT mod, but decided that the game was just too boring without the background music. Playing almost vanilla BG1, just with the unfinished business mod. And finally, playing a game of NWN2 on my laptop when travelling. A sorcerer/RDD trying his luck in the world

Development Cycles...
Those are known as critics and reviewers But yeah, been in a similar situation in a different line of business nearly a decade ago. Management lacked skill and project managment was non-existing. Spent better part of 12 months working crunch time (and gave me half of the gray hair I have now) on a system that was in the end a failure and a bitter lesson. Best advice is the one about keeping your resume up to date and start looking elsewhere. Unless they go bust, get bought out and put under new supervision, things are unlikely to improve.

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Most of the movie seems to be based on Mayan culture: http://www.civilization.ca/civil/maya/mmc03eng.html Except, as GreasyDogMeat pointed out, they were all dead and gone when the Europeans showed up. The Aztecs were the ones doing sacrifices when Cortez reached their capital. Estimates varies from 20000 to 250000 humans sacrified per year.

Revan is a god, no foilables there. Let me guess, disagreeing is futile? Of course. How can a mere man stand against such logic?!? I surrender

It does have a familiar ring to it. Only one word needed to be replaced >_

You might as well embrace it. Give up and be assimilated It's part of a natural, evolutionary process. Languages change over time. If not, you would still be talking like a bad Shakespeare novel Just look what happens to language elsewhere. We Danes have to go to Iceland to see what our "original" language sounded like a millennia ago. Americans drop the U of many OU syllables (e.g. colour -> color, amour - > armor, volourn -> volon etc.) When enough people spell it wrong, it becomes the correct new way of spelling it. Face teh reality.- Should Science Speak to Faith?
Seriously, if anybody in any way feel insulted buy your posts, they aren't worth trying to please anyway Can we have Eldar back now?- K1 & K2 Preferred Parties
You think Jolee is mentally stable? are you insane?! Yes and no- kreia
Use force speed to outrun them. Once you have enough distance between you and them, they will "lose your scent". Not sure how to describe it otherwise. Gradually move closer to Kreia until you are close enough to throw your lightsaber at her. She will not come after you and you can keep throwing it at her until she dies. You can usually beat her with one hand clicking the mouse button and the other holding a mug of coffee that you can sip at your leasure- K1 & K2 Preferred Parties
K1 - Canderous and Jolee (the only two mentally stable characters) K2 - Hanharr and T3 (among the few I could rely on not mutating instantaneously into *&^%$ jedi)- Should Science Speak to Faith?
Maybe you are a slave to your genes? A genetic combination that results in the urge to create social structures and "ethics", makes your gene combinations better able to survive than say, a bunch of selfish individualists all struggling to survivie on their own. Ever wonder why you do irrational things you can't explain, it just makes you feel good? Welcome to the selfish gene. It is using stick and carrots to make you do the grunt work for it (which is also "love explained" in The Book of Gorth) >_- Converting to Jedi
True. Sadly the game doesn't tell anything about Visas background before she "met" Nihilus.- Converting to Jedi
We could also discuss semanthics, as to whether Visas is a "convert" or not. She obviously already knows the force and how to use a lightsaber when she meets you the first time- GINGISM!
Don't tell me you would tolerate ginger haired people in your neighbourhood?!? Just think of the property values, they would plummet faster than the Zimbabwian currency!- Should Science Speak to Faith?
Yeah, you guys be nice to the poor monotheists, they only have that one God! As for the whole discussion of education, politics and religion getting mixed up, I profess mild curiosity and a complete lack of understanding. Having grown up in a very much secular country where religion is less important than football, it is completely surreal hearing that there are people in the world wanting religion as part of their science classes, part of their govermental doctrines (didn't the Taleban just get ousted because being ruled by Sharia law wasn't politcally correct?!?) and so on I guess it's one of them great cultural divides where we are different But then, I also think that the concept of "nations" is an oldfashioned, outdated and hypocritical concept that should be abolished altogether. Go figure.- TSL Restoration Project: The Phantom Deadline, READ FIRST POST BEFORE POSTING.
And we are down to 27! Ummm wait a minute... :sad: Edit: Didn't I stress the importance of locking up the beta testers?!?- fallout 3
Wouldn't the Ghouls qualify for the job?- Most mediocre jedi/sith
Why isn't Revan on the list? The guy was so stupid, everyone was running circles around him. The Jedi tricked him, Malak tricked him, heck even spoiled whiny brat like Bastila could outwit him. No wonder he left the known space to hide his shame somewhere in the outer fringes- Visit to the Greek Isles
