  1. Revan in a Vader outfit? Yes Mistress! :D
  2. The star maps looked cooler than the Jedi Masters (we even saw Vrook before, in K1). The Jedi Masters gave us forms, though. I liked that. PS Where are the star maps, now? And the forgidden planet -- it should be accessible as normal, now. After all Revan killed everyone on the damn planet.
  3. Jade Empire is only Xbox. More likely is Dragon Age.
  4. The British film industry must be on the wrong side of your vinculum, then: certainly any modern James Bond film would be about 26 sseconds long if you removed the product placements ...
  5. The accepted idiom is to use the vowel indefinite article "an" before a silent "h", so not in front of "hotel", but yes in front of "hors d'oeuvres". PS Hertford is spelt with an "e".
  6. That's the kind of backward-facing mentality we need! Don't make the commercials more interesting, make them mandatory.
  7. Also, please don't PM spam; you have placed your request in the forum (or two), so just be patient and wait for an answer like everyone else. Thanks.
  8. I will say this for US English, they do handle words with French derivations well. Probably due to the mixed heritage of the US, what with the French Southern territories, e.g. St Louis, etc. In the UK words of French origin are pronounced as the French would, whereas the American English tends to have anglicized -- indeed Americanized -- them to better acclimatize into the language. I had the advantage of hearing it first, I think -- regardless I tend to parse everything through an all-purpose heuristic so when I saw the "U" it was a big clue ...
  9. face it once and for all. neutral endings doesnt work in rpgs and star wars. to be neutral would give you two choices. either an insane character who one second kills a little cat and in the next helps an old woman over the road. or you could be some do what you want, i dont care, i stay here tipe of character who would do nothing and that means nothing at all. if someone asks you for help you can either refuse, or except. and if you thing kreia was neutral, she wasnt, she maybe wasnt the pure darksider but done just evil things, including manipulating the exile. same for obi wan kenobi who surely was a lightsider. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, strictly speaking a neutral alignment seeks to balance the extremes of Law/Chaos and Good/Evil, seing them all as aberations of the natural state of the universe. So, although it might appear random from the outside, a neutral character would not be random at all. By this definition Kreia was most certainly neutral.
  10. Actually the US chose to update English. Largest? The Chinese have more English speakers than the rest of the world put together ...
  11. ... And we don't seem to have a problem with Platinum ... ... but, what about uranium, plutonium, neptunium ...
  12. I went looking for the coverart for The Stranger and came up with an art linky: Absurd Creation Camus on Art: If all the world were clear, art would not exist. The true work of art is always on the human scale. It is essentially the one that says, 'less'. It is impossible to give a clear account of the world, but art can teach us to reproduce it
  13. Two: - Buckley's, and - None.
  14. Yeah, everything should be getting on with their own lives, rather than the PC being the absolute complete centre of everyone's universe. Shickenfricken mazzlewazzle rozzlefrothen *mutters further Mutleyisms*
  15. Okay, Okay caught me napping there () I just couldn't like her with that matronly voice: sounded like a school mistress telling-off ... then again, I can see how that might be appealing to some ... "
  16. BBC News And now Dr Who has joined the battle -- Baley you can join too! :cool:
  17. "Off-site mutilple-redundancy-tolerant archive"
  18. Okay, but its still Andy and Larry Wachowski in control.
  19. Female pronouns are also used for your country, for example, so it also has that "mother" connotation, probably passed down from the original "Mother Earth" godess that has been so carefully almost removed from the Bible ... ( " ) Except for Germany, for some reason, which calls it the Fatherland. I think we start to uncover the psychological fault lines in our early societies when we talk about the role of women: mother (of me and of our children), virgin, whore, etc; it demonstrates that no matter how expert a female person is, they ain't never going to live up to the expectations put upon them because they are -- at least partially -- mutually exclusive. Also you are saying that the feminine gender pronouns necessarily equate to the subordinate of equivalent masculine term. This may be the case, but I would argue it has more to do with the cultural mores than any fault with the language per se, and so the idiom can be remedied by a substantial application of effort and time! So that eventually an aviator can only ever be a pale imitation of an aviatrix ... What did the Amazonians call their officials?
  20. Apprarently Paramount are "resting the series" for three years, and will make a decision then. Some fans have started a "Save Star Trek" movement and fund; aiming to raise the $30million estimated for a new series (see, there is an advantage to making Dr Who, you can produce a series for
  21. Yeah, all the good mods are in the top couple of slots. I went for soft steps, too. Only bugbear now is that my mouse cursor zooms around the screen, even on the lowest setting, like I've got ADD. (I'll have to switch between game mouse and normal settings, it seems.) Any good mods you can recommend?
