Only if they couldn't spell. Otherwise they would spell it Googol. If only some super-eidetic ... um ... what was the question?

Who thought that your PC was deranged and trying to end the game universe and therefore their virtual lives ..!

Stop spamming my Firefly thread. Spelling is and always has been maleable in its long and windy evolutionary path (check out some old manuscripts for some whacky spelling). Syntax is not."

With a "chosen bot" who must save the universe from some unspeakable boredom that will engulf the audience in a few hours of game time ...

Doesn't it contravene some sort of union rule or United Nations edict to yoke elder women into sweatshops to produce computer games.

... With giant stompie robots.

I used to know but I forgot.

Did Metadigital make a typoe? " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Were you eating a potatoe, Mr Quail? btw I didn't make a typographical mistake.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> One of my favourite films, I watched it the other day. Much enjoyment to be had in the detailed scrutiny of dialogue. Paul Verhoeven directed Showgirls, too, with the unforgetable award-winning "Dolphin impersonation by a Lead Actress in the Throes of Ecstacy Whilst Copulating in a Pool" scene. And Robocop. And Total Recall.

You need to drive your De Lorean back to the middle-to-late eighties, when it was cool.

That film was released at a very awkward moment in Australian history, just after the (temporarily) largest homocidal rampage in the world in Tasmania ... the (still imprisoned) fruit loop looks just like Jake Busey's Johnny Charles Bartlett, so it kinda tanked in the cinemas and always takes the edge off for me. Very spooky in the end, too. Currently watching Gangs of NY. Very pedestrian, I guess I might have got more out of it if I had devoted more attention to it ... "

He has been fruitful and multiplied. (Exponentiated, even.)

Let him post; his innane writing is our greatest weapon in disarming him. ^_^

Hanging '. I see your email account thinks my email account is late with the rent. My email account asked me to pass on any necessary apologies so that they can work out their differences and get back on speaking terms ...

I think all you automated responses are fixated on self-aggrandization; those of us who aren't automated are the ones who create reviews (unless the automatons are creating reviews to keep their delusions camouflaged).

Did they suture his lips together as punishment?

Maybe it's anorexic under all that fur? It has some pretty sizeable clod-hoppers, though; they'd do an eliphant proud ...

You North Americans and your teeth fetish ...

I try not to dwell on the How?, and enjoy the art. After all, asking a great artist, composer or sportsperson will not grant startling revelations of lucid observation; moreso, people of superior talents are just as nonplussed by their abilities as the rest of us mere mortals. So I try to block out Whedon's reasoning and make my own interpretations ...

I see that David Israelite, President of the National Music Publishers' Association, made his contribution to the Dumbest Comment Ever contest, when he stated "the unauthorised use of lyrics and tablature deprives the songwriter of the ability to make a living, and is no different than stealing." Good effort for ledgerdomain, but major bonus points for outright imbercility. As John Walker from PC Format commented: "Yes. No differerent at all, David. Apart from nothing having been stolen, of course. But otherwise, no different. "Copyright Watch would like to condemn writing stories about people dying. After all, it's no different than murder." :D

One of my (alas, sad) conclusions from Whedon's commentary is that such questions weren't probably on his mind at all. The use of Chinese may have started as a clever obsevation about Darwinistic socio-politicological fates of our modern culture, but the result is a cheap device to hide profanity. Ugh.

Cyberpunk 2020 ... mmmmm

I like the amoral expedience of the truly evil (in game worlds, obviously); the biggest advantage they have is the surprise they generate to their actions brought on through their complete lack of scruples in their dealings with their opponents. Lawful Evil is a whole other ball o' wax, too. After all, I think I can make a pretty good argument for any system that places the good of the system over the good of the individuals, against their individual wills. Then again, without a cogent self-decipline of altruism disseminated in societial systems, the necessary self-sacrificial motivations don't exist. So those same deficient societies need the additional Lawful Evil mechanisms to survive. And if the totalitarian societies are more efficient, if they flourish at the expense of kinder, gentler societies, what sort of evil is it to kill those innocents who lives prevent the deaths of those misanthropic (maltruistic ? :D) societies ... Does the existence of some great evil, in fear of which many other peoples might put their personal evils aside, to join together in combat of the greater evil, and in whose wake might descendants of those peoples create a better societies ... does that constitute a necessary evil, or an abomination to be expunged?

The guy looks like a dwarf, to me. I think the bunny's been eating his food ...

Bokishi, that is a worrying set of imagery. Up your dose, for the common good.
