    Political correctness.

    Forget First emendment. Thats a violation of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Noone can stop you from practicing your religion, in private, or public. Also, I don not believe they can stop you from mentioning "God" to a captive audiance. What they can stop you from doing is preaching...

    DragonCon sacrifices

    Ok fine, I can just see the other side. My problem is this: Buying something for the exclusive reason of destroying it when someone else could get endless pleasure out of it. Yes, you are allowed to destroy your AOL CD, however, that was a free gift. You didn't want it to come through...

    Is Palpatine Darth Sidious?

    I thought it was Mad Puppets, or Manic Puppets, or something. As to the EpII fight scene. I thought it was overdone, sure it's fancy, but it didn't have the power of the Bespin duel or the DSII one. That was swordsmanship, especiall in Jedi, where the battle is a real match, rather than a...

    What Happened to the dragon

    You're still not reading what I'm writing. All I'm really saying is I do not believe that the fighters are as large as stated in the documentaion. There is a body of evidance to support this and you could probably calculate how big they actually are by using WCSO to make a comparison. Back...

    Is Palpatine Darth Sidious?

    LeHah, everthing is canon, or semi canon, however the movies are more canon than anything else. What's more the word of Lucasfilm is most certainly law. This is why the SSD is "apparently" 12.8km long, not the 17.6km suggested by the bridge. If the EU wasn't atleast semi-canon then they...

    What Happened to the dragon

    Okay, with the length thing all I'm doing is taking the mass and changing it to the length. No calculations, nothing. It is my belief that the designers gave the Doc writers the ingame legths of the fighters and then there was a mix up. The sizes in WC:SO seem to bear this out. Look at the...

    What Happened to the dragon

    Your memory is faulty, thats a Longbow, the T-Bolt has a hinged canopy that pops open and it really isn't that big.

    What Happened to the dragon

    The novels are based on the games, not the other way around. The game is the primary source. None of the fighters are that big. When you see Blair land a T-Bolt it's no way 36 metres! More like twenty. Again, thats the mass stat. So iif we use the masses: Arrow: 11.5m, about right...

    Is Palpatine Darth Sidious?

    Ah, a SW thread. Q. Is Palpatine Sidious? A. Yes, Palpy is the Lord of the Sith. Q. So what's Vader? A. He is, infact, the Apprentice. However by the time of ANH the Sith has become an Order again and there are shitload running around. Vader is still the Apprentice within the two...

    Battlestar Galactica

    Huh? Star Wars is Star Wars in space. If you mean it was Star Wars: the Series, then yes, you have a point. Its still a pretty fun way to spend 45 minutes, though. Except for Galactica 1980, that sucked.

    Battlestar Galactica

    I don't like the way Battlestar Galactica is going, then again it may be a good show in its own right.

    What Happened to the dragon

    I still don't believe the WC3-4 fighters are that big. If they are how come an Excal looks smaller than a Vamp? Since the Vamp is bigger in game that must mean one sive stat is wrong. Making a comparison I'd put the Excal at 16-18 metres long, or the Vamp at 28-34 metres long. So that...

    DragonCon sacrifices

    Okay, you're still missing my point. The games cost you $2 each, okay. I bought Freespace 1&2 in a bundle, it cost me $40. Is my copy better than the copies you got because it costs more? No. The Origional copies you destroyed are still worth $45 dollars, even if thats not what you payed...

    Flight sim ability

    I'm an X-Wing pilot first. XWA was a great game, it had good graphics, by the standards of the time. Its important to note that XWA was rushed, there's evidance of more involed AI pilots, more interactivity and some really cool featurs from TG that LA axed. The story is very good, the...

    DragonCon sacrifices

    Okay, sorry Loaf, that was uncalled for on my part. I can see his point though: Where he comes from most people can't afford computers. Where you come from you're so wealthy that don't consider the destruction of a £30 computer game a big deal. Where he comes from that computer game...

    DragonCon sacrifices

    Wow, Loaf, I'm inpressed, you're dumping on a guy who isn't here and can't defend himself. Sounds like a good reason to leave actually, just because you live in the fattest cat in the world gives you no right to screw your nose up at the less fortunate.

    Casey's callsign

    I liked Casey, really I did. He's like Luke in ANH. He's just this really nice niave, bland guy. So you can take him how you want. You can replace him with yourself, which is great. Mark Hammil's first major part was just like Casey.

    Political Structure of the Confederation

    TC, this is my point. To us space is mind boggling, to Balir its just Big, the way America is big.
