You're so all over the place, hahaha.

Where is the science in the Force?

All science fiction is fantasy, just some less than others.

I bet you hated Lord of the Rings.

You realize that the "perpetual motion engine" not actually being what's described on the tin could be an important plot point, right?

I would buy it if they announced a single-player mode.

If the load times are anywhere near as bad as the other Total War games you may as well not bother playing this on a HDD unless you have a book to read every time you start a battle.

Yeah, they're missing 30 fucking years. Imagine doing an exhibition of art in cinema and doing films from 1890 to 1900 then skipping to 1930 and missing a whole generation of films.

You know, if they just created porn closeups for scenes in the show and spliced them in, they'd probably make somewhere between a gazillion and infinite dollars.

Again?

He got both Terminator and Ghost in the Shell wrong... how the fuck is this guy a writer on io9?

The most famous one is the best, just make sure you have a decent popup blocker installed and dont click any ads. Rhymes with irate may.

I don't see the logic of complaining that you can't watch it when there is a perfectly viable option that exists.

Wasn't this game supposed to be voice acted?

Negating mass is "doable." Neutralize the higgs bosons, no mass. I don't know how, but there is your "mechanism."

1. There is no known mechanism for 99% of everything in science fiction.

And And those people don't have to go see the movie...

1. I am loosely using the term to mean "resisting Earth's gravity." If they used something to negate the mass of the ship they wouldn't really need a great deal of thrust to escape Earth's gravity, and thus wouldn't flatten the city underneath.

1. Antigravity doesn't necessarily induce any kind of force on the object it's repelling from. It could simply be the negation of the ship's mass coupled with a (relatively) small amount of thrust.

Only to a mortal being.
