Mos Eisley Cantina

A single cube can, at least based on the EP of TNG I saw, take out an entire fleet of Federation starships effortlessly. IMO, a Borg vessel should equate to a boss battle.

So, direct download of the original Mass Effect from Bioware is only 10 dollars. Between that and the new Mass Effect coming out I really wish I had a nice working pc instead of my mac (which I love btw). Ah well, it's something to look forward to after I graduate and get a job. (Maybe I'll have enough extra money by the time ME3 comes out and I can buy all 3 at once...)

Moo.

Agreed. And in every other thread of this guild, Star wars must be directly the topic of conversation. Here in the cantina, there is no anathema though. Otherwise, we'd have to ban the normative mode of talking.


Speaking of that, I just realized something in latin.... Yoda is freaking speaking like Cicero.

point:

Hanc rem publicam salve esse volumus. - Cicero.

Translates to "we wish the republic to be safe." However, that's not the word order. If the word order is taken literally....

"That the republic, to be safe, we wish."


Of course, when i started speaking like the little wrinkled green potato matser, my teacher laughed quite a bit. Then he told me if i ever insulted cicero again, i'd fail the assignment.

Wow in the all the time I did Latin I never realized that. That's cool.  

[Nelowulf]

Doesn't work all the time, but with cicero's linguistics, it's fairly on the spot. I think i've found the next pope.  

[Johnny Malone]

Almost makes me want to crack open my old Latin books...almost.  

[Nelowulf]

Aequum animum in rebus difficilibus serva....

A calm mind in difficult times, you must preserve.... XD  

[Darkened Angel]

Latin has a big influence on SW. Just look at the various Darth names.

Vader, Revan, and Malak, for example, are all Latin. Father, Revenge/Redemption, and Jawbone, respectively, IIRC.  

[Nelowulf]

Vader's not latin. If it was, it'd be Patri. Hence the "in nomine patri, filli, et spirito sancti" routine.

You're thinking germanics.  

[Des Voh]

Ugh, the price of these Warhammer 40k RPG Manuals are ridiculous... gonk  

[iKuumi]

Don't play, it's cheaper.

:]
