Question Time...

[Avatar Roku]

I can answer anything about Oblivion or Scrubs




If you can tell me why you don't love me

Because you smell.

Why don't my parents love me?

Because you also smell.

Damnit I knew I should have posted this thread first, I considered doing it a few months ago.

Anyway:

Spoiler: Mass Effect 2

In Tali's loyalty mission she gets her name changed and says "That's as good as declaring me exiled already", why does she not get to have her name changed back if you stop her being exiled? Obviously she may choose not to, but I'd have thought the suggestion would have been made by the admirals.

It seemed strange to me.

Spoiler: Gears of War (series_

Does anyone else realise that it actually has quite a deep story, one which simply isn't shown in the game-play?

Also that the characters are not simply macho-men who try and act badass, but are merely covering up the fact they are psychologically damaged due to everything they have gone through?

Speaking of Lost... I quite around the end of Season 3. Does it ever make any actual sense?

Yes, but it's a hell of a lot different from how it started, it gets a little supernatural.

EDIT:

If anyone wants to ask about the following series I can probably help:

Lost
Gears of War
Bioshock

The thing that I don't undestand in Bioshock is that why are you the only guy who has all the powers and the splicers just use guns? And also when you kill Andrew Ryan in his office there's a vita chamber there, why didn't he come back to life just like the protagonist?

And a question about Gears of War 2, what was the point of going to that creepy lab where you confront the sires? Was it a lab that tried to make humans into locusts?

It's very heavily hinted that that lab was for turning humans into locust, and, in fact, that that is where the locust came from in the first place.

So, if anyone has questions about Avatar: The Last Airbender, I'm the guy to ask.

Well, no one knows that, it was left ambiguous on purpose. My own theory is that she's living peacefully somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, but she could really be anywhere.

I have a quetion here about Gears of War. I've just been on the Gears wiki and it seems that Marcus joined the COG when he was about 18, as he was born 21 years prior to E-Day yet also took part in the battle for Aspho Fields, three years before E-Day. That would make him 35 in the first game and 36 in Gears 2. Likewise, Dom was 16 when he joined, as he's recorded as being two years younger than Marcus and so would be 33/34 in the games. This fits their descriptions, as in the games they do both look somewhat in their early/mid-thirties.

Looking at Anya then, she seems to also be late-twenties/early-thirties, since she does look quite young. In the books she was also a soldier in the battle at Aspho Fields, so if we take 16 as the required age to join the military on Sera, this would make her 33/34 at the youngest over the course of the games. Again, fair enough.

However, my question is, does it ever mention in any of the games or additional material what age soldiers must be to join the COG? It's just something that's been bugging me a little, and it doesn't say anywhere on the Gears wiki, so I figured I'd ask here.

I do not believe it is ever mentioned about the minimum age. Im unsure if there is any at all as any "able bodied" person was either conscripted or less likely joined by choice. If we look at the typical definition of able bodied this would include all but the elderly and the very youngest of children up to the age of about 16.

Though im not 100% sure on this it seems like a reasonable explanation

Why does Odin from Final Fantasy XIII turn into a horse..and the Shiva sisters a motorcycle? @__@

On the Odin point, he was closely associated in Norse myth with his steed, Sleipnir. Interestingly, Sleipnir may be related to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, since this translates as Ygg's Steed. Ygg, meaning terrible, was another name for Odin.

Nice answer, that's the closest I've been able to find too. Interestingly enough, the Final Fantasy games are littered with refernces to all sorts of stuff, from mythology and gods to pop culture and so on. There are almost always two characters called Biggs and Wedge in each game, not to mention the constant mythology references in the monster names, an there are even monsters in some named after the Jabberwock and Bandersnatch from Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem...
