One tries to set an example. :cool:

To the average socially-challenged psychopath, yes. All good fun!

I believe there will be lots of out-of-towners in the City: the perimeters are breached, so all the Antlions, et alia are free to raid the streets. I wouldn't be surprised if Dog recues Alyx. I wouldn't be surprised if the Combine actually work on the same side as Gordon, either; after all, with the Xen portal busted, it's everyone for themselves against the bigger, nastier besties. Here's hoping we get to pilot a drop ship, or

Never played Swoop again after the total retrospective abortion it was on Telos.

I never heard that! He was right, though, the voice-over totally ruined the film and made it into a kindergarten play. Reminds me of the story about Cecil B Demille, who wanted to change the film to the Eight Commandments ...

One of the few films where the Director's Cut is actually a totally different narrative ...

... And you'll be taking a make-up extra-curricula course in stats ..?

That's like blaming Marconi for Black Sabbath.

I think (and I'm not going to read through all of Jediphile's stuff right now) the point was that Nihilus was the wound left by the connection the Exile had with her Master, when the Master died on M5 and the Exile cut herself off from the Force, severing the magical umbilical bit, which became Nihilus. So killing Nihilus didn't affect the Exile, because the Exile was recovered from the initial Force Wound injury causd at M5.

*Cookie* (Outlaw Josey Wales, though you certainly had a few goes at it; you obviously have taste if you can identify Clint's Josey, so you win on aggregate.) That's Rutger Hauer in Bladerunner, just before the replicant dies, talking to Harrison Ford's Decker ...

There are some tame wild squirels in Holland Park in London. I had one come up and sit on my knee to eat the pistachios from my hand! (It was winter and they all needed a bit of extra nutrition.) Grey Squirels are the invaders, though. Red Squirels are the natives which are being decimated by the rude emigrants ...

*Storms into thread without reading most of the preceding tens-of-thousands-of-words* Hey, that's a neat idea! So Nihilus is the fate that the Force had for the Exile, which the Exile changed (by taking control of her own destiny); so Nihilus is a Force Echo of the Exile, and there is a wound in the Force that represents the difference between what the Force fate of the Exile was, and what the true free fate is. I like it! Carry on ...

Uh...yes...a little....but not sure what. I change things then forget what I changed. I don't use the 'smooth scrolling' type features on anything tho - always turn that off. I hate 'smooth scrolling'. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'd be a typical end-user then. LC (call to Helpdesk): "Hi, my pc is broke." Helpdesk: "Have you changed anything, installed anything, done anything at all to it recently, especially since it stopped working?" LC: "Nope. Not a one." HD: "Let's see, I'm checking your install log and it says here that you recently installed the Encyclop

Nah. Open the link to the article itself (I don't think you can hotlink it). They did a really nice parody of the original "Star Wars" poster replacing Vader with Nihilus, Leia with Mira, and Luke with the bearded Obi-Wan-ish Exile ... who looks positively Christlike. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh, that one? I thought they were doing an Obi-Wan homage! Dying ain't much of a livin' boy. (Cookie for correct id: film or actor ...)

Nope, the Twi'Lek on Telos. Sold into dance slavery by her dumb boyfriend / husband in a game of Pazaak. :D (The dude on Dantooine was just a gambler who gives you some components.)

I was a Consular/Jedi Master (iirc) last game. Ended up with over 1000 Force points and I couldn't spend 'em fast enough on the final battle (they were regenerating so fast).

Well, there was that one with the Twi'Lek dancer; that sorta counted. And the dude on Dantooine. (Small potatoes, I grant you, but at least there was some sort of minor non-critical-path-plot-deviation.)

So is the film, I just haven't seen it (although I think I will go and get it, now ...).

I don't want to not have a choice regarding my character's race. We will fight for your right to have babies, Stan.

Doesn't give me that problem. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Have you adjusted any of the settings? I must say, I only see my wallpaper upon boot; after that I have fifteen windows open on top of each other at one time ...

You are both of the highest order of picture-posting calibre ..!

Ah, I took a shot. "
