Ohhhh, so you're a Trek fan, eh? That's it, as a Star Wars fan, I simply cannot allow this thread to go on without a little Reference War thrown in there. If I let it slide...''it just wouldn't be logical. ''

So how old is Kes? By escaping the island, she must’ve evaded the military drafts, so good for her.

Hmm. So they can choose from either A.) Slow, painstaking travel in spaceships, or B.) Highly dangerous but instantaneous travel through portals. If it were me in charge, I’d set up the portals on the two colonized moons, to keep them away from the people on the Homeworld. What if one of them melts down, or something comes through into their world? I’d like to think that isolating the portals on the moons and Mars would be safer, except I’ve played the Doom games, and I know exactly how well that worked out for those poor suckers xD

Dishonored is a testament to what video games can accomplish. Pushing the Unreal Engine to its limits, this first-person stealth-horror game challenges the players to use their wits and a wide variety of powers and equipment to outsmart and evade their enemies, who are always one step away from annihilating the player. It’s got to be my favorite game.

In one of the levels, you break into a mansion that’s hosting a party for the nobles. The mansion is comprised of multicolored rooms, and the party-goers are wearing color-coordinated outfits. You have to assassinate the host. It’s heavily based on Masque of the Red Death, the player being the Red Death, of course. It’s pretty rad.

As far as it's historical basis, some folks say it's supposed to be set in Victorian England, but I heavily disagree. I think it's completely fictional.
