I don't know where to begin.

My favourite episode was  "The Close Talker". I do that to my mum to freak her out and make her laugh.

I had to show her the episode on YouTube so she could see what I was on about.

 

To stay on topic - my name is from a short story I read as a kid and my gamertag  "RanetheViking" is because I have a Norse heritage.

 

My avatar is of my favoutite ME2 character.

I'm sure novels could be written about what's wrong with the prequels, Mister Plinkett sums it up nicely.  I'll just say that the three biggest missed opportunities were character development for Maul, Doku, and Windu.

 

Maul:  Not a single spoken line.  What was he fighting for?  Did he have a slave family, wife and kids, who were promised freedom if he aided Palpatine?  We never know.

 

Doku:  He used to be a Jedi, and was said that murder was "not in his nature" for it.  So basically a light-sided Sith Lord, a precursor to Darth Vader in a sense.  What went on inside HIS head?  Why was HE aiding Palpatine?  We never know.

 

Windu:  An emotional, anger-filled Jedi.  A walking contradiction, who walks a very thin line.  Could have been the single most badass character in the entire trilogy.

Well you should try the star wars books then, the character development is done pretty well in them and most of them are accepted as canon.  For example Windu is never angry but is instead able to channel his inner bloodlust through his unique form of fighting style, he's not at all emotional either and is one of the most stringent observers of the Jedi code etc etc.

 

As for Dooku,he's kind of an aristocrat and a politician who is tired of the Jedi hippie bullshit and he is the apprentice of palpatine who is the true Sith lord. He's also not too worried about killing anyone but prefers to not get his hands dirty doing it.

 

As for Maul,he was taken as an apprentice of palpatine before Dooku and was basically raised to be a Sith assassin. Besides sith doesn't have family anyway,too hardcore for that stuff. As I said a lot of the background lore comes from the books,so try it if you're interested in the lore.

The works of Jane Austen - or whatever this stuff is - must surely be off topic in Combat Strategy, right? I mean, did you ever see Jane Austen set off a biotic explosion?

Some people (don't ask me why) get upset when there's too much booty.

If you want to be Kreia, you could always use her other names. Either Arren Kae (her name as Jedi) or Darth Traya (her Sith name).


WHAT? Kreia/Darth Traya is actually Arren Kae, mother of the Handmaiden?

I chose this name because no one has out scored me. I also have Femshep because men are the root of all evil in human history.

Another great ep. If you had to put a gun to my head, I still wouldn't be able to pick one.

 

I did get a chance to use a Seinfeld joke at work last week, and it made my day. A colleague bought pretzels for the whole team, and I responded with "These pretzels are making me thirsty!!!". Obviously no one got the joke :(, and I had to send youtube clips out to explain it.

Where does is say that? Couldn´t find any clue for that. Even KOTOR 2 doesn´t give any proof for this.

 

I like Saki Kaskas´ music in the old Need for Speed parts, like Knossos or Gore, very much, too. :)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kreia

http://starwars.wiki.../wiki/Arren_Kae

 

There was an ongoing dispute concerning the true identity of Kreia. One theory held that the Jedi Arren Kae and Kreia were the same person. While available material, cut or not, indicates that it may indeed have been Obsidian Entertainment's original intent, there is no conclusive evidence that could either prove or disprove this theory within Star Wars canon. The main source cited is that at one point in the game Mical the Disciple said that Arren Kae was the first and also the last of Revan's many trainers, and at another point Kreia said she was the first and last trainer of Revan. When asked about the relationship between Kreia and Kae, Chris Avellone ambiguously responded "Can’t comment, but good catch. Sorry."

According to the game, Arren Kae is the mother of the Echani Handmaiden Brianna. Traya only mentions her to the male Exile who chooses to romance Brianna. While Brianna herself never knew Kae, Traya seemed to know much about her, but disapproved of speaking of this to Brianna, for the same reason Jedi separate children from their parents: because "family exerts a powerful influence on one's development." Brianna and Traya share the same views on conflict and its effects, and while Brianna fought long to prove that she, unlike her parents, would not betray her oath, she eventually did when she asked Surik to train her in the Jedi ways.

Forgot to mention "Powerstream"

Those who played megaman legends 1 for the original PlayStation then you might remember what Powerstream is. Its the final and most powerful upgrade he gets for his buster gun before facing off against the final boss, megaman Juno

All right!! But hear me, and hear me well. The day will come, oh yes, mark my words Tabouleh your day of reckoning is coming, when an evil wind will blow through your little play world and wipe that smug smile off your face. And I'll be there in all my glory, watching, watching as it all comes crumbling down.

 

For reference...
