Also never saw district 9.

Aw man, it has the most badass "mech suit" scene ever in filmmaking history.

And that's not even why the movie was awesome!

Best Sci-Fi of the year. Oscars wasted on Avatar.

D-9 was incredible! Bought it on Itunes a week ago, after seeing it via Red box. So, think District 10 will be next?

Calculatrice doesn't care... Posts waaaay too much to care.

Was trying to not say that 

Well, that's how it is.

Grunt: Was it good for you?
Miranda:

You guys know how I hate everything....

Thought it was good enough to see it twice in the theatres. Neat 3D, plot could have been better. Sigourney Weaver was a plus.

Looks like we've gone from the engine room to the cargo hold, eh?

it was okay.

I was happy to see Weaver as well, its been a while. But i was amazed she died, she NEVER dies

And if at all, it has to be because a chestbuster just ripped out of her chest cavity.

Rah!

Playing ME1 and i just got Tali. When you invite her to your crew, she say, "Thanks, you won't regret this."

I CAN'T AGREE MORE!!!!!

I'm no biologist, but it seems to me that the game somewhat exagerates the consequences of eating food of the opposite chirality. 

Wouldn't it only be an issue when trying to eat protein rich food? Since the amino-acids that make up the protein would be of the opposite chirality, and the quarians/turians wouldn't be able to properly break it down?

Actual biologist/biochemist has spoken on this issue. Noted table sugar is dextro chirality. Encouraged femsheps to injest. Would taste sweet. However. Mass Effect also errs on side of Levo compatibility. Still possible for different digestive issues to occur. Vultures & Humans come from earth. Both are Levo. Humans cannot eat carrion as old as vultures. Some terrestrial animals have immunity to poisons that would kill humans. Many complications possible. However, Mass Effect treats issue of cross species food as Levo/Dextro issue. Simpler. Easier to track.

I found this post on another message board. I don't know how accurate it is, but the guy seems to know what he's talking about.

----------------

Most of the proteins you consume are oriented the same direction. Their molecules have interacted with each other and enzymes in a controlled manner over such a long period on Earth that their 'mirrored' variants no longer occur naturally. Hence we are made up of and function mostly on levo-amino acids, 'levo' meaning 'left'.

'Dextro'(meaning 'right')-amino acids refers to the mirrored variants of all chiral proteins abundant in life. Its as equally possible that dextro-amino acids could constitute the greater portion for life on other planets as levo-amino compounds.

Its the same proteins, the same life, just 'backwards' at the molecular level. A lifeform based on dextro-amino acids could be an exact duplicate of an earth creature, including humans, visually, except that their DNA would actually turn the other direction.

The toxicity interpretations are speculative at best, but consuming specific dextro proteins could cause malfunctions in a levo-based creature's lowest level digestion mechanisms, producing at best the wrong and at worst deadly compounds, but for the most part the enzymes associated with a protein are biased to only that protein like a glove. There are some dextro-amino acids identified that would be toxic to a levo-based creature, but these are high-complexity with no naturally occurring levo variants anyway.

Most 'sweet' tasting things, sugars, are actually dextro variants.

Spearmint leaves actually contain both levo and dextro variants of their amino acids.

For the most part, incompatible amino acids would simply be ignored, and actually tasteless.

If you try to turn her down, Udina forces you to take her with you.
The only thing he EVER did that didn't make me want to punch him in the face.

Yeah, that makes sense.

So, which do you like better, 1 or 2? Two for me... One got a bit tiresome . Like it couldn't decide if it was going to do KotOR style chat-up-the-chief-to-gain-access-to-the-insert-dungeon-here, or go Gears and just go shooter. ME2 blended the two better, if you ask me. Assault on the citadel was awesome, though... Scaling the tower, with Sovriegn's gigantic tentacles hovering ominously over you.

Avatar is good movie. Great popcorn sci-fi. Enjoyed immensely. However. Does not deserve critical praise of Oscars/Academy Awards. District 9 better overall film.
