Musopticon?

Hagaren the Movie Nice final to the story. I do like the manga plot more, mostly because they haven't yet killed everyone, but the movie was a fitting ending.

Yes. Can you seriously name 10 games that are better than Deus Ex? I agree that there are quite a few games that have done for example the combat better or had more intricate stories, but there's none that have done all of those areas decently. None except Deus Ex.

Thanks Kafty, I'll make a mental note of these(especially the mutation overkill) and inform the gm. He always takes rule 0 into account,

Note the "initially" Burst Angel, now that's skimpy.

Actually, that was what initially turned me off the series. Skimpy for the sake of skimpy.

That's Kuchiki's bankai, right?

A pal at my school's dormitories is gathering together a group to play and I was wondering if anyone here has any experiences of the game. Would be nice to hear, opinions, stories and the like. Personally, I started with a initiate of Ulrich and will mostly concentrate on making him a jack of all trades. THe game is supposed to be mostly about role-playing, instead of a hack. You might wonder why we chose WHFR for that, but we are most familiar with the setting, it was readily available, and myself I adore the mishmash of high-magic dark ages and bordering-on-steampunk-renaissance-themes. I managed to botch my character already in the creation, but I can make up for the inaccuracies, like the lack of warrior career which is a prequisite for initiates of Ulrich, with decent in-character actions.

Finish this sociolinguistics essay.

That internet conversations without arguments are not worth participating in. Right?

I started reading the classics. I've got Oliver Twist, Wuthering Heights and De Bello Gallico done. Only a couple of hundred to go.

I think so.

I saw a couple of hours of FF12 today. The start nearly floored me("That's some major graphics extravaganza"), but the grinding is tiring.

It can be a bit quirky, but I was able to get invisibility, extra laser, probably better mobility and anti-air capabilities with the war mech. If you can conquer GDI war factories and tech centers, it's possible to get railguns to the mech.

Wait, what? This was the Echani thread? Ah, heck.

I got to agree, middens and mayflies.

If what you say is directly from the SW lore, then you are effectively destroying your own argument. Spartan community was anything but family-oriented. Weak and frail babies were discarded from birth, strong young men were taken by the army to train as a soldier for a period lasting almost a decade, never seeing their family until the return - if they survived the strict martial camps and harsh drills. Also, Spartans hardly fought to find glory, not to mention forming a workable state beyond Peloponnesus. The Spartan kleurochy system was a strict military-oriented tolitarian state, ruled by an olicargy. They favored war above everything else. In fact, it was customary for young Spartan males to ravage the countryside, hunt down helots(independent slaves) and practice war - inside their very own land. I don't think those traits resemble Mandalorians at all. I agree that the martial prowess and strict form of Mandos may remind one of Spartans, but that's based on the romanticized image of them - as saviours of all Hellas during the 4th Century BBC. The reality was far more grim. Just from "a historian" to another.

The fighting is fantastic. I've never been so utterly frustrated yet thrilled than when battling Alma for the first time. What a great game!

Yeah.

Edward Scissorhands for the upteenth time. Don't take me wrong, I like the movie. It's a bit soppy and a bit fun, but it's too Burtonish. All the other Burton movies I've seen have almost ruined it. And Elfman's music is really trite. Still, almost got teary-eyed, again, when they showed the dance scene in the end.

No, most normal boy fantasies have something to do with girls and hugely fast, albeit masculine, cars. Not...well, having waxed moustache and leading a hopeless final charge against Austrian mottes while Maschinengewehr blasts overhead.

You say that after you've careened down that section near Mort Homme wood in a testarossa, flinging champagne bottles at pickelhaube wearing types. What are you? A latent telepath?! That is my exact fantasy.
