And he waited twelve years to bring this up why, exactly?

What utter bullshit.

Sephirius is arguing they're good because they aren't Pseudonyms, I'm arguing that it can't have anything to do with that since the KotOR names are pseudonyms as well. Revan and Malak were the actual names of the Sith Lords in question (note that nobody ever refers to them as anything else, even wh...

Who did you send it to?

You mean this?

My condolences

Am I the only person for whom this completely fails to work? The screen loads and everything, complete with background music, but the only thing I can actually click on (apart from the official site link) is some sort of weird scroll-bar thing next the hull size menu, and that doesn't actually seem ...

Not exactly. When Mace accuses him of being a Sith Lord, his reply is: Am I? Even if true, that's hardly a crime. My philosophical outlook is a personal matter. In fact - the last time I read the Constitution, anyway - we have very strict laws against this type of persecution. So I ask you again: wh...

KotOR fics: Shattered Knight , by Tim Radley - set after the events of KotOR 1. Quite possibly the best fic I have ever read, in any fandom. Still incomplete, unfortunately. Prisoner 24601 has written several good fics. Helena L has a number of short KotOR fics - mostly parodies and humorous fics, b...

What makes you think life in the Culture is incapable of being challenging? Aside from the innumerable pursuits you could take up, from mountaineering and various extreme sports (and the Culture has some very extreme ones) to making cannons in a forge or mastering any number of intricate strategy ga...

Sci-Fi: Culture, again. Aside from all the obvious benefits, they have VR technology that would probably let you experience what it would be like to live in pretty much any other universe you can think of, if you're really desperate. 18, take note - if you really want to know what it's like to be in...

No, it's not. Labyrinth of Evil establishes that it was indeed Sifo-Dyas who placed the order originally, although Dooku tracked him down and killed him on Sidious' orders, then took control of the program. Dooku might well have paid for it himself to maintain the project's secrecy, but Sifo-Dyas wo...

I have to say, for a while there I wasn't sure who was going to win.

Truly, this is the work of a master.

And on Youtube: link 1, link 2.

Eh... I think "pwned" is a bit of an overstatement. It's certainly nice to see someone publicly attacking ID in the manner that it deserves, but the method the guy chose to do that was to say, over and over, "it's bringing religion into science". Of course, this is true, but in d...

Sending a whole person flying is pretty much irrefutable evidence on film that they have little trouble applying large forces to living organisms. However, the kind of precise control we're talking about might only be posible with an android. After all, the control system of an android is going to ...

I haven't managed to watch it all yet, but I think the funniest moment so far has been the narrator talking about how "the lives and works of materialists certainly prove that they are not godly men". Quite apart from the stupidity of blaming "materialism" for the world's problem...

Actually, there is evidence in the RotS novelisation that using the Force on living things is harder than on inanimate objects. On the bridge of the Invisible Hand , Obi-Wan uses a particular telekinetic trick to mess with Grievous' bionic limbs (a trick he uses against Anakin later in the novel). H...

...Holy shit. That is just supremely awesome.

*Applauds* Well said!

Merry Christmas to all

Easy. Level the playing field by banning the most expensive forms of campaigning such as TV and radio ads. So that the voters actually need to actively find out about their candidates instead of sitting on their arse and getting misleading bite-sized adsdelivered to them. I've kicked around the ide...

Apparently, it's both. The excellent (IMO) SW Insider article entitled Evil Never Dies - The Sith Dynasties , "Sith'ari" is a Sith word meaning "Overlord", applied to King Adas because he was the first of the Sith to unite the whole species under one ruler. My guess would be that...

IIRC, the population of Iraq is about 20 million; some quick calculations reveal that that kind of death rate should give us ~550 dead Iraqis per year. Yes, that makes so much sense when death tolls smaller than this don't even make the headlines any more. Meet the right-winger's favourite debate t...

Who the hell is saying it's no worse than Philadelphia? Baghdad has as many murders in three days as we have all year--and our murder rate is a civic crisis. The extremely serious, mature Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa. 27.51 Iraqis per 100,000 die a violent death on an annual basis. Now what does that me...

Actually, I believe he has been mentioned. However, while he'd probably be one of the better 40k leaders to serve under (excepting, say, Eldar leaders who will manipulate thousands of years of history and annihilate whole planets to keep you out of trouble), serving under him is still likely to get ...
