I have very strong, non flattering views on Lewis, which I won't repeat here in case of offending any of his admirers. I disagree with his Narnia books and the ideas behind them, and I certainly don't agree with his works on Christian apologetics. His writing style is his saving grace though. In...

Here's the thing - the ideas that we term cliche nowadays were created by Shakespeare. 400 years ago, no one had ever created something like Romeo and Juliet - he was the first to do it. Because those ideas were so good, they were eventually copied to excess, leading to the situation we have...

The Velvet Underground and Nico - Venus in Furs.

Found a thread which talks about FF:CC. Unfortunately, it's not active at all. http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/the-crystal-bearers.html I will say no more on the matter.

Edinburgh Hogmany - the place to go to on New Year's Eve. That's if the rain doesn't cause a cancellation of course.

King's Field. Excellent game, and very different from "traditional" RPGs. If you ever get the chance, check it out. The gameplay is similar to the Oblivion series.

Morrid's Observatory. Anyone for coffee?

Sure. It's called Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers. Here's the Wiki article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Final_Fantasy_Crystal_Chronicles:_The_Crystal_Bearers And some media for you. http://uk.wii.ign.com/articles/791/791938p1.html

Sephiroth has a number because he's also one of Hojo's experiments. I think his number was "I" wasn't it? Leading onto that point - do the Black hooded subjects share the same, or nearly the same, DNA as Sephiroth? I'm sure at one point he describes them as his family, and it might explain...

That's the power of SquareEnix. Slap on an the phrase "Final Fantasy", and your quids in. Mind you, the FF title SquareEnix is working on just now for the Wii sounds interesting. Might buy it to take a look, which just goes to show how I've been sucked into that type of thinking too.

The way that you structured your post suggested that Einstein was talking about religion in the traditional sense. I pointed out this point because it was erroneous. To further explain, when Einstein used the word religion he did mean it in that religious, Romantic literary sense of the...

Look to me to be a way for Nintendo to get the casual market playing more traditional titles. The rumor that it's easier is probably true - you want to ease the new player into the Zelda world without scaring them. This might lead to more traditional gamers being put off. But I'm quite looking...

Avast? Never heard of it - is it a free anti-virus software? My advice - get a proper one, preferably Norton or MacAfee. As soon as you get a copy, scan your files. If it still doesn't unearth anything, get the latest updates for the anti-virus software. After that, if it's still there, get it...

Probably a grammatical error. Instead of "I don't know what the Black cape is!", I think it should be read as "I don't know who the people in black capes are!". Makes sense that way... I think?

That's when you don't reach her in time. He was referring to the point where you do catch up with her and the little cutscene between being in space and the Ragnorak.

Technically, it would be very difficult, impossible even. But the full potential of the DS hasn't been realized yet, so maybe. If you're looking more for capability, then the PSP would be a better option. Also, I wouldn't see the point of porting it to the DS unless you somehow incorporated the...

What always bothered me was the the Hojo experiment subject who lived in Sector Five Slums. There was no explanation for that person's presence there. Any ideas?

Wasn't taking about religion in the traditional sense I'm afraid. Was talking more in terms of how humans appreciate the universe and feel emotion. For example, I might describe the Sun scientifically as a yellow, relatively medium sized, hydrogen fueled star, emitting electromagnetic waves and...

In all honesty, I disliked the books. When I first read the series as a teenager, I thought they were excellent. Now, coming back to it a little older, the writing seems stale and contrived. My theory is that the books weren't intended to be entertainment. Sure, the plot is interesting, and...

Avatar: 8/10. Atmospheric - is that a sepia tone your using for that picture? Signature: 5/10. Nice, but nothing new or original. Good to look at though. (Didn't have a sig, so inserted one quickly. Don't really believe in them, but hey, what the hell/)
