Well, we don't eat crocodiles on an industrial scale (only boutique meals), and baracuda probably give as good as they get. ... and those narwhals ... I wonder if whales will be hunting people in a few years time...

But what do women want?

It's the fingers, they're all the same length! (Just like the Ancient Egyptians -- their artistic figures, not the people. ) Good work!

That is a very pointless question. You might as well ask "Why climb a mountain if you can fly over it?" "Fastest Route" is a well known sport, same as, but almost completely opposite to "Most Experience". (The fastest playthrough for Half-Life is about 2 hours, for example. It involves jumping on those eye-beam mines to skip a whole section in Surface Tension, but all legal moves.) Five times through would be sufficient to do all the side quests: I did them all in less than three playthroughs. I'd think a more appropriate questrion is why you'd bother playing the game five times ... it was so poorly done I lost all interest after a couple of playthroughs (which I made to confrm my suspiciions that there were no consequences to any of the choices in dialogues and especially including -- and from -- the dantooine confrontation onwards.)

I have no problem with other people lifting shirts and biting pillows; I just prefer not to. I ended up having to go with the other clich

One of the following: - Disable droid is comparatively less powerful in the latter time period; or - There is no referential integrity between the universe described in the films and those created due to necessity for the EU, especially games; or - GL is a moron.

So he was learning on the job, and they recorded the dialogue in order! Or else they re-recorded some of the M5 dialogue after re-splicing the action sequences, and by this time he had been learniing English for a sufficient length of time to be able to add convincing inflections ...

Too true. Like this discussion -- I feel like I have suceeded because I am discussing a topic I find interesting. Someone else may not feel like they have suceeded unless they convert someone to their own point-of-view away from one that they find flawed. Cloris <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ... with the understanding that the merits of a particular moral code would sell themselves: a voluntary moral meritocracy.

If I had to guess I'd say he's a typical actor that dropped out before finishing secondary school and consequently has a lot of trouble reading English, let alone anything with a vaguely science-centric lexicon. he does get better towards the end, though.

Hi-Res video clip replacments for the TV resolution ones and (stereo?) music rendition of the existing mono recordings.

Why would you think that? Fry is currently given shedloads of cash for presenting stuff (like the BAFTAs) and has the QI show. He is also neighbours with Prince Charles (in Norfolk, not the Duchy of Cornwall!). I wish there were more head models -- I really didn't like playing male because they were all poncy looking effeminate limp-wristed shirt-lifters. The girls were much better.

Now, of course not, My PC was level 14 with 91261 XP. But so what? The enemies scale according to your experience. The only trouble is that you have less force powers and less feats. And you have to take "stealth run" and crap like that as feats. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How difficult was Kreia and her dancing scimitars at level 14?

It really does! How are you adapting to this mesmerizing new world of technology, old-timer? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's worse than you think; I work in IT, so I have to read my bodyweight in technical documentation every day ... ... 'course, I'm getting used to now (listen to the Secret Service sketch ... ).

Candyman certainly likes wearing women's underwear, that's for sure, especially for Mical in their rendezvous in the medical suite ... Bao Dur has that neat arm and good bare-handed combat skills. His voice acting (until the endgame) is so repugnant that I have to skip through anything he says, though. Kreia is excellent support with finesse and her obnoxiously high wisdom stat; though I agree I would rather have Handmaiden. Visas is too much like Glenn Close (before she boils the bunny, in Fatal Attraction) to be a fun character.

@Cloris: From what you said earlier I thought I got your point. But now I'm not sure anymore. Please tell me, when you say "right thing to do", from what point of view are you looking at it? The only POV I could imagine you are refering to would be Darth Sidious'. Also I think Anakin did have all the facts. In his life he met several Sith Lords, hated them for good reason, and . Oh, and, I almost forgot, the irony is that . If you reduce the deed of Anakin to defending a helpless person and the Jedi Code (= ignoring the fact that Palpatine is the mighty Sith Lord in person, needless to say, who is already in control of the senate, the military and the courts) there would be no explanation why the Jedi (Yoda and Windu in particular) consider it the *false* and not the *right* thing to do. Is it that what you call relativism? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A non-relativistic moral code is something fundamental, like "Under no circumstances would a living being have their life taken from them." Relative Morality starts to list the conditions under which it is okay to "Bend the rules", until you reach the other extreme, "Whatever you have to do to get what you want, regardless of the consequences to anyone else."

Maybe Yoda is an hermaphrodite (think snails) ... procreate by cloning (cell division) ...

Father Grigori is the best example of a Preist I have seen! He cares for his flock "I remember your true face!" and dispatches them to whatever afterlife they are bound for ... Such a shame that Dave Allen died this year. he would have approved of Father Grigori! "And may your God go with you ..."

I don't know whether anyone would make a movie more like a National Geographic documentary. (I would be pleased to watch it, but I think we are in the minority. )

Yep, I think you need to change your poll to better measure the demongraphic. I am older than everyone so far ... (I don't know if that's a good thing, though ... )

You aren't rambling (and you ain't whistling Dixie, either). That was my point exactly. When the end justifies the means (at least when this is codified into state law) than the society is no longer a "good" one, from a moral point of view. It is a sinister autocracy. Welfare of the State is greater than the collective welfare of the individuals that make it up. 1984.

No... I'm sure if they were to fight in Kotor3 or whatever. The player would decide who wins. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes. The character (me, in my exhaustive sampling for this statistical modelling) would identify more strongly with Revan and therefore want revan to be victorious.

What if you use a vorpall sword to chop the dragon's head off?

In order for comunism to work people would have to abandon the idea of property, we are a agresive possesive species right now and so it would not work. True capitalism also dont work because of the same reasons, no system is perfect and its open to abuse. You think people are good but I just point out for Germany of 1939 to 1944 as a example of what can happen, the vast majority of germans were not Nazis and did not belived in the nazi idiology and yet they gone to war and fought for just that. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that I want to derail the discussion (any further ) but the National Socialists gained a popular vote greater than the Labour party in last week's election ... Back on topic, some peoples of the world have managed to live in a world with minimal possessions: the Native Americans and Australian Aborigines lived off the land quite successfully (although this did preclude large groups forming city-sized population centres, but that is not necessarily a measure of sophistication, superiority or success).
