Actually, if you watch the DVD version of Empire, the scene with the empourer has had the dialog completely changed, as well as replacing the woman playing the empourer as the guy who plays in in the other 4 movies
He's lost 60Kg just by playing outside! Its awful!
That really is pretty awful, I'm pretty sure there aren't many kids out there that even have a mass of 60kg (>120lbs for you americans), and if they do, it'd be pretty unhealthy to do so.
Right, because Yoda as a wise grand master in harmony with the force in ESB is just as childish as Yoda as Sonic The Hedgehog with Lightsabers in AoTC (who forgets his non-physical force abilities).
alright, what about when yoda first meets luke. I'd have to say that that incarnation of yoda is more childish than ANYTHING in all of the Star Wars movies, including all of the actions of both Luke and Anakin, and those Skywalkers are pretty damned childish.
As solely a Canadian, I say what the hell, why not introduce something like this now? As it stands there is no way something like this would pass through the government before the next election (which, for any non-Canadians out there who aren't paying attention to our news, may very well be before the end of June). And when that happens every bill going through parliament gets scrapped anyway.
You know there are things such as designed experiments which can determine causation and not just correlation right?
You know that if there is one external variable that the experiment doesn't take into account then using the study to determine causation is invalid, it could be this unacocunted for varaible. Do you honestly think that these kinds of studies take absolutely everything into account that could be affecting the mind of someone who plays games, because I highly doubt that.
Or maybe phish attacks? "Our records indicate that someone has tried to gain access to your World of Warcraft account.

actually back when I was in the closed beta I got at least a few emails of this variety, and I know that I wasn't the only one either.
well, the system is slightly different here, but the ballot has a list of all the candidates running in your "riding" and which of the "many" parties that they're in. You put an x beside the name of the person you like and you're done. I have very little faith in people, but you'd have to be even more stupid than that to screw this kind of ballot up
In Canada a ballot consists of a list of the candidates names' and their parties. there's also a white circle beside each name. put an x in the one beside who you want to vote for and put the ballot in the box. It's extremely hard to screw that up. That and I think the ballots have a standard nation wide way of looking in order to be fair all accross the country.
I don't ever remember hearing stories of people accidentilly voting for the wrong person or any of that.
Atleast for Rise of Nations, but the Demos aren't free. $1.99
They aren't free if you pick up a demo disc from a retailer. Go to the appropriate website (for Rise of Nations I believe its part of the big mess that MS has as a website, although the "Big Huge Games" website may have it too, and it's a free download.
Alright, I may or may not be spoiling a few things in this post so if you haven't seen all of season 2 yet (or just the "season finale") and you still plan on it, stop here.
RvB works the best when there's interaction between characters or when they riff on gameplay elements
What about in the Season Finale of season 2, when Tucker finds out that both the red army and the blue army are basically the same, and that there was absolutly no point to absolutely everything they have been doing. I thought it was a great touch and it does exactly what you said is best, all the while opening up a chance to have an interesting plot going on in the up comming season(s) with room for some good jokes
After things like your pay that you take home, the cost may be lower, there's far more stuff that the government pays for up here. Which seems like something else, with the government providing more services than in the States, does that mean these companies would have to pay less for benefits?
Problem is you get taxed quite a bit more than you guys do down there.
All in all, I welcome these american jobs, I'm 3 years from graduating, and would like to be able to find a job when I'm done school.
Consumers then run said bundled app because it is the only one supplied with the OS, and don't bother to look at competing products, minimising consumer choice.
lazy consumers != consumers with no choice.
All I'm hearing with your argument is that Linux is more bloated than Windows.
You know, if this thing ever does actually get released, it should have some pretty nice reviews.
The gaming industry is all too often plauged with people expecting too much out of something. When (if) Half-Life 2 comes out it will likely be met with many a "sure it's good, but I thought it was going to be better, not worth all the hype and the wait."
This things going to come out (actually probably not, but let's just pretend here) and everyone's going to be like "well it sucks, but it's many many times better than I thought it was going to be so it gets a passing mark in my book" and all of a sudden good reviews
(All above comments made in jest, for those with a broken humour detector)
and yet if I said something like "whereas the isrealis have a tendancy to mess up when playing on hostage maps, because in their attempts to get the terrorists, they kill all the hostages first and call them terrorists" I'd get modded down for being anti-semitic even though "it's only a joke"
I would be willing to put money on the idea that in the beginning of the game that the bridges to the other parts of the city will have taken earthquake damage.
Episode 2 naming?
have you ever actually looked at the names of the original three? They're just as bad
Seriously, "Return of the Jedi" is as bad a name as "Attack of the Clones." "The Empire Strikes Back"? that's not the best name either.

shhhhh....
it's talk like this that gets other countries bombed, and quite frankly that's not something I want to see happen.
If Jay Leno ever decided to do a show on Saturday nights, the 30 year reign of Saturday Night Live would quickly grind to a halt.
well yeah... they're on the same network
Either way, the Church does not state that any of it is true, only that parts of it are *possibly* true
to be fair, technically science says that too.

You fail to realise who the current administration is. When would they ever want to invade only two
Not to mention, when you're looking for some fun, all you have to do is flick a switch to turn it on.
