Was that the "Jumping the Shark" moment?

I liked "Matrix Revolutions" a whole lot more than "Reloaded." I always felt that "Reloaded" was the black sheep of the trilogy. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I hated the third one. I thought it was cheese on toast. But, the guy from Ain't It Cool (same site as above quote is taken from) wet his pants in excitement over it. (It sounds like he's never read an Orwell or Dickens novel, TBH.)

I've got the demo on a DVD here from last month (I haven't installed it yet, though). I suppose that means I get a free look and I might even be persuaded to give my first impressions to all of you lot.

Yes. Wipe them out. ALL of them.

How do you get a real Goth name? Do you have to take an oath, or sign something in blood, or just agree to stay out of daylight for a really, really long time? ('Cause I can do that.)

Is that Bob Denver? (So good it's worth repeating: Gilligan's Island!)

The only planet they found was a gas giant, so it wouldn't be a picnic in any case. (Bad hurricanes and no ground to stand on, and all that.)

HE WAS MEANT TO UNITE THE DEVELOPERS, NOT DESTROY THEM!

That's good to know. I was going to shell out for Psychonauts next. I'll keep my vitreous humour aptly receptive to the game, though, in case I see it drowning in the bargain bin ...

They are the duck's nuts in Rome: Total War as well. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I especially like the VO for them. "Hoplites! ... Form Up!" :cool:

Ya, I guess if you have enough victories eventually you'll receive Leonidas, but I never played with them <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Civ4? Apparently there are heroes in it, if that's what you mean ...

But which one was more fun? There's no bloody drow nor stupid elves and orcs in it, are there?

Clear, the future is not ...

DAMMIT! YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG!

It's a pretty fair abstract of Civ, with the added bonus of RTS battles, should you want to zoom in. I got a little jacked off by the plague infestations in my big cities (with Super-Duper-Epic-City Walls and such); I think they are mainly caused by the opponents' spies, I subsequently read somewhere, though ...

... Which is quite disturbing ...

Hehe. I like ThinkGeek. Guns Don't Kill People. Ninja Chimps C.H.I.M.P.

Actually, I thought Matrix Reloaded was pretty bad, too: ... It never delivers on Neo

Great. Another victory for style over content.

... Or cheap bloodlines, now.

Like Major Major in Catch-22? (He starts his army career as a private, but because of the ineluctable and ineffable idiocy of the armed forces bureaucracy, he is eventually promoted to Major, because Captain Major Major just doesn't sound right, and everyone thinks he's a Major already anyway. That's Catch-22 in reverse.) Maybe his mother was trying the same thing, and misspelt his name: Malik ? :D

Actually, that is pretty good. Obviously it's all speculative, but as a cogent assessment of the plot and where it could be leading, I think you've done pretty well. I would agree that there are far too many loose ends in the game to say that the plot was meant to conclude with the ending provided in K2. Whether that is because there is a masterplan in Esse and a superlative to finish the trilogy plot in Posse, or because the game was created to have as little impact on either the first game or any possible future games, is still a moot point. So, here we are: inter spem et metum.

I am tempted to make some rude comment about your personal affairs. I shall not succumb to the urge, however. (Remember, even Jesus was tempted.) I respectfully withdraw the insinuation that was thought out loud.

It depends. It depends on your definition of "alternate". It depends on your definition of "unperfect". It depends on your definition of "parallel". It depends on your definition of "remains". It depends on your definition of "world". So, Yes (and No). Just ask Erwin Schr
