I prefer to look at it this way:
In the infinite void of space, an an infinite timeframe, chances are SOMEWHERE eventually there would be the 'requirements' to start life. Sure, it's INCREDIBLY unlikely to win the jackpot with one planet, but keep in mind there are an awful lot of planets out there.
So you might be asking "Why Earth?" Well the asnwer is "Why anywhere?" - no matter what planet you're on, you'd be asking the same question. Talking about how unlikely life is stupid- because we're talking about an infinite/1 chance. and we have to exist in order to ask the questions about existance in the first place, right? ----

I know you dont mean this, but I feel I have something to contribute that I heard a while ago.. the Chinese "Dragon" myth was directly a result of ancient Chinese finding dinosaur fossils... i can't remember where I heard it but I beleive it was a science book of some sort.. ----

A lot of stuff happens, it just happens to happen over and over and what usually happens is two characters fighting in mid air for a while then suddenly one of them connects a really powerful attack, follows up with two more, and then they get back on equal ground and it repeats, again, and again.
Still, watching a show where all the characters can blow up a planet is a BIT entertaining. ----

If they always used this naming scheme, the N64 would be the "High Level Nintendo Gaming System", and the next one will probably be "Ninntendo Realism Creator" and before that they'd have something like the Nintendo Entertainment System! Wait, they already did that. ----

Just yesterday I was watching the "Itchy and Scratchy Movie" episode, and was thinking "if I&S is what the Simpsons use to be self-referential, then why isn't there a simpsons movie?"
Now *that* is a marketing phrase i've never heard before. "able to push twice as much color".... you don't need more then the color available on a SNES for low-resolution, you know.. ----

I was kinda sad that Mystique was essentially reduced to a covert-ops sort of character instead of a bad-ass. Being Covert-Ops and Being A Bad Ass aren't nessisarily mutually exclusive you know. Ever hear of Solid Snake?
We're supposed to hate Magento, but there isn't anything particularly hateful about him. He's trying to save his species from what he believes from personal experience is a possible Holocaust-style extinction.
In my opinion the best villians are ones who aern't doing it for the heck of evilness, but doing it because they're misguided but steadfast in their beleifs. Take a look at say, Kefka and Sephiroth... Neither of them cared about the state of world distruction until experimentation showed it's ugly head. You feel sorry for them, but know you have to defeat them.
Sabretooth *DID* have one line, I forget what it was, but he did.
I personally liked the movie... they did a lot of cool things. ---- Oh my god, Bear is driving! How can this be?
Most games of the past are there for playing, but a lot of the new games put most of their effort into telling a story like the Final Fantasies or Metal Gear Solid
