It would be nice if that reviewer would mention that the entire story is being told by a Spartan warrior. Why would Dilios talk about some sea battle he wasn't a part of? Why is it unreasonable for him to glorify his countrymen and villify his enemies?
He also throws in some ridiculous shots about defending eugenics and presenting Xerxes as a homosexual (the kind of homosexual that lives in a tent full of naked women, apparently). He really sounds like he has an axe to grind.
All of the players are on the same team trying to beat the game.
It's like D&D in the sense that you have characters with stats and you roll dice to determine success in actions, yes, but otherwise, no.
I like Tactics and 7 the most. 6 and 10 are pretty good. 4, 8, 9, 12 are ok. 1, 2, X2, TacticsAdvanced I dislike.
I haven't played 3, 5, 11, Mystic Quest or Crystal Chronicles.
Andy is in anger management classes. It was shown in some deleted scenes on nbc.com, but yeah, that's something they should have mentioned on the show.
The closest star other than the sun is 4+ light years away.
The human-made object traveling the fastest at the moment is Voyager 1, which in 30 years has gone 0.002 light years. Those aliens better have faster ships because WE ARE SLOW.
Also, how disappointing would it be to finally get a probe to some other solar system and then find nothing?
