The CD version doesn't really add all that much to the experience, in my opinion. The voice acting isn't of the greatest quality, and the flying animation is just this looped video. Honestly, I preferred actually seeing the landscape turn when I changed course. (As a sidenote, does anybody know how they incorporate the "spot the sietch from the sky" bits into the flying animation?)

Whew! Three sides on one map would be awesome, but that's the next best thing. If you had to remove a side from the game altogether, it would have really been a shame.

Are you referring to the Atreides were (supposedly) descended from the Acheans? I don't really know if it'd be necessary to cite those works as "Dune-related". After all, Dune takes inspiration from many sources. If you'd like to add them, though, feel free to do so.

Nipples!

Nobody knows, except perhaps the design team. But by looking at the trailers, you can probably expect to see Master Chief (Halo), Chrono (Chrono Trigger), Bowser, Donkey Kong, Samus (Metroid), and Chun-Li (Street Fighter 2 series) after the initial four characters from the beta.

Goldar freaking looks like this. That's what Goldar does that's so cool. Also, if you go to the site, and check out the "cards" section, it'll show you all the characters they might add to the game. The Blue Deck is for main characters (heroes; villains), while the Red Deck is for general baddies (blue slime; moblin; goomba). Don't know what the Green Deck is for yet.

That's actualyl the name I was thinking of. In the case, I have no idea who the hell Harq al-Harba is. I suppose he was just a dude. Maybe it was Leto himself...

Go for it, man. That's a damned good price, for something that uncommon.

Depends what you're willing to spend on it, mate. You should be able to find it for less than that, though. I think I only spent $25 US for mine. Try Ebay.

They probably did grow their spawn in their Axolotl tanks. After all, [hide]The tanks were Tleilaxu women.[/hide]

It hasn't been printed in twenty years or so, so no. I got it on Ebay several years ago.

Well, Ghanima and Farad'n were to continue the Atreides (and, to a lesser extent, Corrino) line, and Farad'n especially was given the task of recording history, much like his aunt, Irulan.

Presumably they were different characters. Scytale may have been the "John" or "Mark" of the Tleilaxu. Or, he may have assumed the name for psychological purposes. Another option is that Scytale the Master may have been born with cells from Scytale the Face Dancer, but it does not seem likely, as the Master has no memories of his previous incarnation (which would have been the only reason they would have used the cells). Also, there is a very defined line between the Face Dancers - paeons, slaves, mules - and the Masters. Creating a Master out of a Face Dancer's genes would probably have been an unsavoury concept, even for the Tleilaxu.

As much as I hate to admit it, i think Mahdi and I had a brief, somewhat intoxicated discussion about that a few weeks ago.

I believe it was Farad'n Corrino.

I've got it. it's interesting, but there's really very little in it concerning Dune. Still a fun read, though, even if I'm not the biggest poetry connoisseur out there.

It seems not only are pigs flying, but they're carpet-bombing everything I believe in: I got a cellphone just the other day. I don't know what kind it is, nor do I particularly care. It has a camera, and is red. Oh, and it doesn't work in the store where I work, so it's essentially useless to me and I hate it. My friend bought a new phone with a new plan, so I ended up with her old one, since she can't get out of her old contract. So far it's been pretty obnoxious, since the battery only lasts like six hours, and people get to bug me when I don't want to be bugged. I've always liked not having a cellphone; when I'm not home, I'm not home. Leave me a message. Whatever. Anyway, I also resent having to carry around a second gizmo. I'm enormously happy with my Dell Axim x51V PDA, as it acts as my contact list, scheduler, unit converter, dictionary, periodic table of the elements, mp3 player, and guitar tuner. It also has SimCity 2000 and X-Com. All it's missing is a camera-phone.

OOC: Sure, why not? Fine whiskey never goes out of style. ;)

...With that attitude, I'm sure you will. I'm of the same thinking as Khan. Physical attraction is necessary, especially in the beginning of a relationship. You see a girl across the room, and you're probably not going to know if she's a Virgo, or enjoys long walks on the beach, or shares in your obsession with Yu-Gi-Oh cards. But right away, you'll probably know if she's attractive or not. Yu-Gi-Oh comes later. Actually, maybe Khan described it better.

It was more a "my roommate was a moron and walked around the apartment naked after showering despite living with two men, neither of whom she's dating, and didn't expect said roommate's drunken friends would ever decide to crash at their place, and therefore didn't think it necessary to put on some damned pants or a towel or something" job.

This is possibly one of the most inane conversations I've ever read. May I have a duchy?

Eighteen. After high school, moved out to the big city with a few friends going to university (I just wanted to work and not be in my little old hometown). That's when I first got drunk with Mahdi, and he almost saw my female roommate naked.

It's Victoria Day weekend. May Two-For. I worked today, and work Sunday. Then I'm going home to the my hometown, as I have a dental appointment on Tuesday. On the upside, it means I get Tuesday off.

No, I'm not joking. Goldar rules. Tyrael was an angel from Diablo II. Although he still served heaven, he was a bit of a renegade, meddling in the lives of mortals more than was allowed. He wears a brown hood and armour, and has these huge tentacle-like wings. Here's a cutscene from the game featuring Tyrael.
