I'd honestly like to see his thoughts on the first Mass Effect game, and maybe in comparison to its sequels. I'd also be interested in what he thought of the two Elite Force games, especially the first one as it was made to be kind of like a Voyager episode. I can imagine Chuck's shock at discoveri...

Gunray has the greed and ambition for Palpatine to exploit, both Haako and Dofine question his judgement and in the Clone Wars Lott Dod asserts that the Trade Federation is neutral and dismisses Gunray as an extremist. As for the Viceroy thing, the essential books describe the Trade Federation as b...

This administration will put satirists out of their jobs.
What is the point when we're already living in the world of The Onion?

That might have been Palpatine’s plan, but it makes no sense for the Trade Federation motivationwise; they don’t do it to show the Senate is bloated and/or corrupt or to help Palpatine clean up the Senate, they’re doing it to protest taxes and trade disputes.

Hell I know quite a few people who were rather upset Amaterasu was depicted as a Goa'uld, and a minor throwaway one at that...

I prefer interesting and clever stories over being afraid of who gets offended. Or in the absence of using them as any sort of antagonist, they could at least not *pander* to certain groups as they did with the "Christian" planet or the half-assed way they handled to Ori or introducing Sokar. Nobody...

On the side against Yaweh being a nasty mean evil Goal'd compared to Tokra Jesus, I'd like to remind you to take a look at Jewish theology some time. There's the whole covenant thing, and precedent for people being able to bring that up and argue with God. Not sure what your point is. Goa'uld can b...

Even assuming I found gambling to be something that should be illegal (I don't), the micro-transactions are not representative of gambling. Gambling always involves putting something of yours up on the line in order to win, and micro-transactions do not do that - they simply ask you to pay for some...
