And by hundreds you mean, what, forty? If you count the interlude where Bast freaks out, and the making of his cloak, and talking to the Cthaeh, and the pages where he discusses the stories and other information he picked up.

I mean, sure, if you count her being surprised at his lack of sexual experience as “blowing her away.” Though he does almost literally do so before he decides killing her would make the world a worse place. It’s more like he’s an inexperienced expert, even according to himself.

As a note, that’s not how the Animus works in game. The bleeding effect causes you to retain the skills and memories of your ancestors. It’s pretty much the plot of the second game, where they make Desmond explore as Ezio in order to train him more quickly than, you know, actual training. The Templar equivalent was…

So I just picked up Persona 4 about two months ago, after years of only being vaguely aware of the existence of the series. And hey, look at that, I really enjoyed it. So I dug up the animation and watched that, and now I’m playing through Persona 3 FES. So I have a few questions that I could theoretically resolve…

I disagree. Many of the things done to prove you are the Nerevarine could be replicated, but you’re literally the only person to be cured of Corprus (everyone else dies), the ghosts of the failed incarnations in the Cavern of the Incarnate acknowledge you as being the reincarnation of Nerevar, you’re capable of…

I’ve never tried it with just two people, but I did DM for a three player group once. A rakshasa paladin raised in a monastery of Tyr (I removed most of her natural abilities to even things out, saying she had no idea how to use them), an alcoholic druid obsessed with the idea of becoming a bear god, and a Hadozee…

Honestly, all of that sounds pretty reasonable to me. I mean, hey, if I had infinite godlike power I would probably just sit in my invisible god castle at the peak of Mount Everest and use my limitless power to have the internet, movies, and books. I mean, sure, I could use my omnipotence to lay waste to anyone who…

You should check out the Darth Bane trilogy by Drew Karpyshyn.
It covers his time as an apprentice, his elimination of all of the other Sith, and his decision to build up a secret power base to eventually undermine the Jedi, which he openly acknowledges will take centuries if not millennia.

To get the full experience you really need to watch the trailer, which is pretty much amazing.

I think the idea behind it was based on a kind of.... forced evolution, I guess? You have a Sith Lord, and the Sith Lord takes an apprentice, with it fully known to both of them how their relationship works. Eventually (in theory) the apprentice becomes strong enough to kill their master, and then they take their own…

Well, willpower definitely not, but I wouldn’t say avarice and compassion aren’t emotions. I mean, maybe you want to say pity/sorrow or.... desire, I guess, comes to mind as close to greed or avarice. But it’s not quite the same. 

I know, right? Pretty much the only way they could be a challenge to the Jedi would be if they were to use subtlety and deception to, I don’t know, work themselves into a position of major political power from which they could enact laws and raise armies to crush the Jedi. Thought they would probably need to do…

No.

I liked the Tim Burton version. It seemed like the only reasonable portrayal of a man who enslaves midget tribesmen (seriously, he pays them in beans) in order to build a candy monopoly and... teach moral lessons to greedy children through the power of song?

While this is interesting, it’s also not in any way shocking. Beavers are rodents, and Europeans ate them in sufficient numbers that in the 1600s the Catholic Church declared they were fish so that people could still eat them on Friday. Rabbits were also considered rodents until the early 1900s (or late 1800s, I can’t…

Yes, although they also sometimes used solid shot, a type of artillery projectile containing no explosive at all. Basically just a big metal sphere meant to crush anything in its way.

In the second Keaton movie, he even uses the Batmobile to burn someone alive. That always struck me as overkill.

I read 201 books last year, simply because I wanted to. That’s not a score each month, and I’m only at 93 this year (though I just started rereading the Ciaphas Cain books, which should give me a boost), but I’m also only one person, and reading these in my spare time, not as part of work. I suspect a couple of people…

The ability to eat anything is more horrifying than lame. Sure, it’s not that difficult to avoid, if we’re assuming that’s all they can do, but if they can actually eat anything, well, a lot of stuff kind of falls under that category. Buildings. Continents. Planets. Even other superpowered people. I’m pretty sure…

Isn’t there a fairly popular subculture comprised of young women with heavily styled and colored hair? Starts with a g, maybe? I can’t remember the name right now.
