A lot of people seem to have an issue with that scene... while I don't get what their problem is. Quoted from my response...

After looking at jedi fighting techinques, I have concluded I could kick their ass. Only that your fighting techniques wouldn't matter much when lightsabers cut through just about anything. Unless you happen to have one of your own, of course. Sidious dispatches the 3 jedi and then suddenly slows d...

Nice colors, clean, sparkly. 8.5/10 for both avatar and sig. No avatar as far as I can see, banner's neat though pretty dark and hard to make out the shapes of. 7/10 for the banner. EDIT: Grah, it just didn't load the avatar for the first time. Okay colors but nothing really interesting - 5/10 for ...

This might sound daft, but why is it a passport no longer stands as proof of identity? I went to the bank a while back wanting to open an account, I had my passport, 7 bills in my name, a buspass with my name and picture on it and a railcard. That wasn't enough. Too easy to forge, perhaps? Though I...

John Titor was right, there's gonna be an American civil war soon!
