I can just imagine their review of Zork: "... I found it a bit wordy. 6/10"

Feel free to make your own parody. I very quickly realised that I know far too few words of the street lexicon to complete it. :"> I suppose it would be easier to do it in 1337 ... Then again, I'll do it later ... No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us.

Yes, it was particularly bad. I think it is some sort of interpretation of the Scientologists' version of Revelations, isn't it? Bueller?

Maybe Canadians just have better things to do? Then again, it's hardly likely that anyone will play any sport that doesn't involve ice in a country that encompasses the magnetic North pole. (They do play Ice Hockey well, after all.) You can't play cricket on an ice rink. :D I will be off to get some of that Peanut Paste, myself then. (Never did like the US "Jelly" idea, though: make jam, then remove all the fruit. )

You've taken your first [tentative and faltering] steps into a larger world ...

It's funny the British invent all these sports only to be throroughly vanquished and humbled by the people they taught the sports to ... "

The short answer, based on Logical Positivism, is that Intelligence is a random result of the infinitely changeable survival tactics of life

The Ashes starts next week.

But the alternative, to "modernize" the script, would be worse. To wit: Check it out homies, While the crew are doing the deed, Some other gang from Mars are making moves on dem, ...

But how is that important to Kreia if she is interested in destroying the Force? To destroy the Force, the Exile and she will be annihilated completely: obliterated. No chance to kill off any "True Sith" after that, Force or no.

There is a way to build HK-47 quickly. One of the threads I linked to has the details (I think), but it involves avoiding one of the confrontations with a group of HK-50s until he is built and in the party. It means jumping around the game and doing the first bits of most of them to build him, then going and confronting the HK-50s. If you can't find it in the threads I linked to, check out some threads in the Spoilers forum about unusual play. There was a poster who managed to do this, which is where I read about it, and it made sense at the time. (I un-installed the game a few months ago, so I am struggling to recall the exact details off-hand ...)

Not necessarily. "Evil" might be just as much a part of the universe as "Good". This is called dualism. It is one of the central tenets of Zoroastrian faith, which was one of the theological parents of Christianity. (See The Gāthās of Zoroastrianism.) How do you figure that? I would say it is much more reasonable to keep them locked up. Who cares Why someone commits a crime, just prevent them from doing it. You argument is specious. And yet this all-powerful, all-knowing and all-good God will willingly, knowingly and contentedly leave some souls to eternal damnation? How does that make sense to you? Horsefeathers. Morality is not an anathema to modernity. (The animal kingdom doesn't seem to be too moral to me. More amoral, I would say, and modern society is a modern construct of the social organisations of our evolutionary ancestor animals.) And likewise, morality is not the sole domain of religion (which is the implication of your post). You should read more. Try Humanism, or more specifically Renaissance Humanism. It's called ETHICS, and can be derived from reason, rather than some seemingly arbitrary "word of God" dissemintated to a random person (man ).

Try Maria Caliban's answers: (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>)

I have collected a bunch of threads here: (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>). Follow the "minimum run" thread to read about how to get HK-47 quickly (here is where the bits are: (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>)). This helps outline the strategy to get HK-47 to confront some HK-50s. But you are correct, the only way to achieve HK-47 in the military base is to use the whereami armband developed by Darth333 to teleport to Telos and open the door.

FORESHADOWING....I suspect the HK thing will be wrapped up in K3...along with a laundry list of other stuff. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I see. And that same Foreshadowing would explain the reason that there were markers on the Trayas Academy map for the prison and other areas that were inacessible. ... "

But after the contract expires they can say whatever they want? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes indeedy. Unless the contract has a "gag" order that exceeds the lenght of the contracted period. (There might be a Non-Disclosure imperative well after the contracted work has expired.)

Looks a bit like Taris. Maybe there was an industrial part on another continent. I find it annoying (and it also breaks the suspension of disbelief) that all the "planets" one visits are smaller than the average sports stadium. <_<

I don't like Guardians. Force Jump is such a lame special power. What was the question?

Since you're one of the few who wasn't "disapointed"... I absolutely loved KotOR2 and relished every moment of the game. I grew very attached to the characters, especially Kreia. I thought the dialogue was interesting and I always wanted more. In the end, I liked KotOR 2 more than KotOR1... because it was -darker-. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I liked what OE did with Kreia's character; the K1 characters were all very one-dimensional, and adding some shades of grey to K2 was a Good Idea. I am curious, however, as you grew so attached to the characters, how did you feel about them at the end? What is your opinion as to what happened to them? One of my disapointments was the lack of closure for these characters. Were you satisfied with this part of the game?

I waited until March with K2 -- still unpatched and unfinished... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You could still be waiting and it's June! I waited a few weeks, read the reviews in the trade mags (all were "Mu57 Buy!!!!111!!!1!").

I thought it was okay, there were a couple of chuckles (ChewBrocolli; "Stretch out with your peelings, Cuce!"; "He's now more chemical than vegetable."; "Aren't you a little tall for an egg?"; etc), but most of that humour was lost because of the heavy political message. (And I eat organic!)

Don't forget the book was written in the nineteenth century. I guess it's more about what the traveller sees. It's a cautionary tale (aren't they all?), with the standard dystopian future. (I have only ever read one utopian future for mankind. ) I liked the far distant future vistas, where there was nothing but armoured arthropods (crabs and such). Helped bring our short existence into perpective, at the time. But yeah, it wasn't the most exciting book in the world. (I do enjoy Wells' style though.)

Ah, okay, I did read that, it just didn't register when I was assessing your review. Methinks I should toddle off to sleepy-bo-bos, now. :D
