David Bauer, the commanding officer of the USS Oak Hill, said that Gaeta and Snell's kiss would largely be a non-event and the crew's reaction upon learning who was selected to have the first kiss was positive.

"It's going to happen and the crew's going to enjoy it. We're going to move on and it won't overshadow the great things that this crew has accomplished over the past three months," Bauer said.


You are owed nothing, but do learn the difference between propaganda and news. Do you really think the military, with its liberally-accused censoring of coffin photos and use of embedded reporters, just happened to have two attractive symbols around? It's not the ladies' fault, I'm sure they weren't in on it.

I like the captain's barely-veiled threat and the suspicious attractiveness of the, ah, participants. Don't expect to see two dudes kissing until after His Earness steals the election this coming year.

The Citizen's United ruling is the nail in the coffin for the neo-conservative corporate take-over of the American democracy.
You just watch the 2012 Presidential elections and see how big money outstrips any substantial dealing with the issues that continue to impact the country, year after year after year.

Oh Blizzard, you are dead to me. Another nail in the coffin.

Oh, let's self promote. Haven't done that in awhile.

This is a particularly juicy TDS on Palin.

May it be the nail in her political coffin.

Is that his coffin on top? also NOW WATCH ME TOTALLY STAND ON THIS HORSE!

I can see the Japanese digging on this. They have those little coffin hotels and their apartments aren't much larger than that.

Both Knights of the Old Republic games were such awesome awesome games...
But the last Star Wars Galaxies MMO was horrendously craptastic and buggy.
I'm conflicted.... can this be as good as it looks?

the last star wars mmo (SWG) was awesome for its first two years or so. then sony online entertainment (the developers) decided to remake the game entirely in the middle of it and made it the shitty game it is now. SWTOR is being produced and developed by bioware, their reputation speaks for itself

Actually, If I remember right, SOE bought the rights from the original developers, and after that made the changes. That's why it went in such a decline. They decided things like everybody can be a Jedi, and dumbed them down a bit. On paper it wass a good idea, but in reality one of the coolest things that game had to offer was getting to a certain point and becoming "Force Sensative" allowing your character to become a Jedi. Sure they were a tad OP but that's because they only had one life, and once the jedi was dead, it was dead, so you got really attached to your character.
As for the original question, as long as a game company like SOE doesn't take over, and Bioware stays in charge, I trust them.


nah, soe were the only developers. the differences between the game pre new game enhancement (NGE patch) and post nge were night and day. When swg launched and until the CU patch in 2005 it was the fastest growing mmo on the market. the cu saw a bit a decline but the final nail in the coffin was the nge and the shitstorm surrounding it. you had a unique and versatile profession based system where you could mix and match skills from 32 professions to make your "class". This was changed literally overnight with the nge, wiping the old profession system for a traditional class based system. many professions of the old game were not even represented in the new class system until about a year after the nge, namely the creature handler profession, one of the most fun and rewarding.

further adding to the controversy you had the trials of obi wan expansion that was released just two days prior to the nge, which, after the nge hit, a large portion of the player base demanded a refund on the expansion (which sony gave them eventually).

to sum it up, smedley, the president of soe, basically told the players what they want, despite massive protests that we didnt want any of that shit. today you have the ghost town of a game that swg sadly is.

i started playing shortly after launch and played through about 6 months or so after the nge. it was an amazing and unique game starting out but is garbage now. soe's lesson learned: dont fix what isnt broken


ps: permadeath was three deaths not one and that didnt last very long. after that it was xp loss. and jedi were op (pre nge anyway) primarily because of lore continuity and for the more practical reason: it took almost a year to grind one out in both the hologrind and the village grind (took me about 10 months playing everyday to unlock mine via the village grind)

in retrospect, any mmo that installs an alpha class (jedi for swg) its bound to break the game eventually but really, if you think about it, it only really breaks pvp

All hail our Zombie Overlord Jew!

You know how pathetic unimpressive easter is? If through out history, there hadn't been many cases of people who were pronounced dead and ended up waking in the morgue or in their own funerals, or their coffins being opened and found with scratches inside.

So... ressurection? yeah.. not that impressive really. Better get a new parlor trick christians.

Your God-inspired hate is a disgrace to the human race. I see a stage shared by children and openly gay men singing a song of love for outsiders and the oppressed, the black sheep of our society. You see this expression of love as disgraceful.

It's been a while since I stepped inside a church or read the Bible, but last I heard Jesus loves EVERYONE. He even asked his dad to forgive the sons of bitches who tortured and murdered him. Now you'd think if he could do that, then the LEAST you could do is just fucking tolerate gays without condemnation. But it's easier to talk about God's love than to practice it, isn't it?

Religion is slowly, inexorably dying, and it ain't just science that's killing it. Practitioners like you are driving just as many nails into its coffin as the guys in lab coats. And I guess if religion dies then it must be God's will, right?>> ^bobknight33:

Disgraceful and inappropriate. To think that this is ok. Not!

A few years back I saw a very interesting documentary on all the questions surrounded the landing. It made me cautious enough to question the validity of the facts we have. I've learned not to trust in belief based on something I've been told or what's in a book. That's why I don't believe in religion. One thing I do believe in, it's man's ability to lie.

Research on the internet reveals solid, sound proof of the landings while it also offers some very interesting questions such as theVan Allen Radiation Belt.

What I end up with is one big science-fiction story that I hope is true but have no way of actually proving for myself..

Really? Good arguments from the side that say it was a hoax?
Show me ANY GOOD arguments and I'll respect your stance, but there are NONE. NONE. Every one of their inane arguments is utter rubbish and easily, simply, painfully debunkable.

>> ^Sagemind:

OK, so here's my view:
I don't know if it's a hoax. I don't know if it's real.
I've seen good arguments from both sides.
This happened the year I was born, I was alive, but I didn't see it.
I've found I can no longer believe anything the US government or NASA feeds the public.
Not because it's implausible but because they lie so much to the people in general.
The only way I can believe in a moon landing is if they did it again.
With non-government watchdogs to testify to the authenticity.
Non-government, interests, possibly from different countries.
They did it once, technology is far more advanced now, why can't they do it again?
Edit: Now that Photoshop and other technology exists, some "Photographs" will never convince me.
