I'm confused about what Bob's saying re: ancient Greek and Plato. He seems to be contrasting it with what goes later, so you *don't* need to speak the language it was originally written in to fully appreciate it? Seems odd. Heck, it'd be a bit of a stretch, but he could have used it as an...

If by that you mean "Is your PS2 Emulator still working?", then, yes. Despite making some nice investments in PS2 discs when friends were all moving on, I've never actually owned the console itself. Heh.

Heracles. Berserker version. Sweet!

Whichever is most likely to avoid the two critical weaknesses of Evil Minions/Armies/Legions: being supremely incompetent XP-fodder and turning on me, the Evil Overlady (nah, doesn't really have the right ring, does it? :p). -Zombies are generally incompetent and incapable of following...

Who is the great dragon whom the spirit will no longer call lord and god? "Thou shalt" is the name of the great dragon. But the spirit of the lion says, "I will." "Thou shalt" lies in his way, sparkling like gold, an animal covered with scales; and on every scale shines a golden "thou shalt."...

I can't decide which is worse - if they did no research whatsoever and just picked Hesiod off a Google Search for 'ancient greek dudes' or if they *did* look at the Theogony and then had to chuck everything out the window for the sake of the (and I use the term loosely) 'plot' of the movie...

BGI. And I couldn't have asked for a better introduction to gaming. We are all heroes: You and Boo and I. Hamsters and rangers everywhere! Rejoice!

Japanese (native). English, since that's where I currently live. French, semi-fluently. I can read/write Ancient Greek and Latin, but, well, speaking them isn't considered to be a teaching priority, shall we say? :D I also have a little Spanish, Italian, German, Russian and Mandarin - my...

*Grin* The DVD menu of the first movie actually questions your existence. Death and Rebirth, and End of Evangelion were seriously nuts. On the other hand, has anyone started watching the Rebuild series? A little less of the character development or screaming despair, though they're still there...

No Revolutionary Girl Utena yet? "If the egg's shell does not break, the chick will die without being born. We are the chick; the egg is the world. If the world's shell does not break, we will die without being born. Break the world's shell! For the sake of revolutionizing the world!" At...

Being bi, I guess I'll have to answer the question about dating straight/gay people. Hm. By what's largely been random co-incidence, I've never gone out with someone who hadn't at least had thoughts about both sexes. (Then again, it's not as if I'm anything like past the 'experimenting' stage of...

I'm reckoning Oxford could be interesting. Very old city, plenty of old and weird architecture (esp. museums and libraries), and even distinguishable accents (to my ears anyway). And, really, I think it has *character*. Northern Lights (aka The Golden Compass) did an excellent portrayal of this...
