Yup... it's strange that Bastila wouldn't make an appearance if you say Revan is a LSF though. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe Revan scratched her eyes out after they fought over Carth's affections.

Mr T famously player "Clubber Lang" in Rocky III, the mean dude who fights his way to the lead contender and takes Rocky's belt so that Sylvester's character can regain "The Eye of the Tiger" and win his title back. He was also the butt of Eddie Murphy's humour in his early stand-up career, where Mr Murphy insinuated that MR T was not particularly bright and that the Jedi Mind Trick would work stupendously well on him. (He also made fun of his over-the-top machismo, suggesting he may indeed be batting for the other team. Illustrated particularly well, iIdssm, with superb sound effects borrowed from Rocky III.)

It's funny that physics hasn't found many barriers, many absolutes; absolute zero, the temperature at which no further energy may be extracted (−273.15

WTF!!?!!? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think -- if I understand the reference correctly -- that the poster is ridiculing you for attempting to act out the role-playing parts of the game.

I don't know if I'd inflict that name on a real person, and make them suffer the daily beatings at school. Maximus is just very close, lexicographically speaking, to the actual English word "maximum", hence my regard for its (uber-ness) stature. (I like words.) You would need to be quite a sadist to call a boy that ... Is he Butch? "

Join the bursting-at-the-seams club. (Groucho was right. )

How about games from twenty years ago? Try playing Planetside on a PS2.

Leaving aside the Freudian connotations for one moment ( " ), I was merely suggesting that Maxine Power was a cooler name than Maxwell Power. (Although Maximus is uber.)

No. Presumably cut content. (Either that or deliberate red herring.)

The engine was actually quite a blast when it first appeared: the turn based with pause in third person "almost first-person follow cam". I have no real problem with the engine, per se, except that all the buggy implementation is corrected (can you say "PC combat action queues" with me, boys and girls?). I miss the overhead shot; in my ideal engine I would like to see an "infinite" zoom, so I can take an overhead shot and zoom into the serrated edge of a flesh wound or the purple of a contusion ...

To what end? I mean, what's the purpose of this new attack? Is it any better than Force Push? Or Force Lightning? Nah, I'd prefer the effort spent in other areas ... like plot and character development "

The only response I can give you is one I heard in my travels, a long, long time ago (and it was a long, long way from where I am now ...) that I believe sums up religious zeal to those that have an internal frame of reference centred on strict moral codes like the golden rule (do unto others only what you would have them do unto you): To those that know, no explanation is necessary; to those that don't, no explanation is possible. I envy them their fervent faith; I dispair at their seeming lack of vision. Still, at the end of the troubled times, it will be due in no small part to the extremists shaping the world of our times, so there is everything to play for. I often wonder what would happen if world hunger were eradicated; what would happen to the West if all the trade protections were removed ... a true "free market". Chaos! And not good, either. There would just be another conflict, with the newly disposessed taking up armed struggle ... But I am digressing.

ROFL Don't be alarmed. You will hear a continuous klaxon whilst there is a heightened state of danger. Don't be alarmed.

I personally haven't played it, but I know some business acquaintences used it as an ice-breaker to "get to know" their venture capitalist backers ... turned into an all-nighter and much was learned by all concerned ...

Was there not even a synopsis of the state of development? A hint as to how well the game is progressing, if it is on target or anything at all?

Proving once again that it is better to give than receive ...

Useless information should actually be something other than totally useless. Just miscellaneous, rather than pointless. E.g. the world we are familiar with is made up of atoms, which are all made up of other, smaller particles. All these particles are regarded as Tardyons, because they do not travel at velocities greater than the spped of light (superluminous speeds -- or ludicrous speed in Space Balls). The FTL particles -- which have complex-number-based masses (!) are called Tachyons. :cool:

I probably would have asked the same question if I didn't know the forum address. Seems strange that they could host the forum but not the website at that knights2end domain, but oh well... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I can imagine the data traffic from the site would be quite extreme; probably whomever is paying the bills said that their bank manager was getting antsy ...

I've seen that show ... How about Darth Darling? ("What are you looking at?" exclaims Darth Darling, vehemently.)

Pink with purple poka-dots. Hasn't this poll already been done about as many times as characters say "I've got a bad feeling about this!"?

Yep, that was a mistake (too limiting). Also there are far too few classes, meaning the game play is limited to the fighter sub-classes of the equivalent D&D..

There seems to be an inordinate amount of strength-enhancing items, though. Guantlets +5, belts and implants and armour all with fairly sizable bonuses: I would say strengeth is one of the easiest attributes to boost. (Remember that every two strength points added above 10 = +1 bonus.)

I dunno about that: a Dark Energy blade would suck the particles from the body that you hit with it ...
