What do you think? Jenny Craig? Weightwatcher? Richard Simmons crying softly by the bedside? (Lord knows that last one would get me up and running!)

I thought this was going to be about a chocolate bar and the practice of reducing the size and then bringing out a new 'Xtra Large Bar', which is exactly the same as the original bar aside from the doubling of price, that bugs me.

..but yeah, the universe, if you believe in that sort of thing I suppose.

I thought there was considerable doubt about where the dark matter is located relative to visible matter ?

This method appears to measure only the mass of the core.

Those numbers mean nothing to me, i can't even imagine a trillion solar masses, i mean i've personally killed about maybe a million people on the Total war games, but that doesn't even come close!

The galaxy hasn't lost any weight, it's just that our finest scales (you know the one that proved a witch weighed the same as a duck) has been replaced with a more accurate model.

What's nice to know is that the galaxy has a lot less solar far and a lot more solar muscle.

heh, sadly no i mean i would like to but i run the risk of becoming addicted to it, i just about managed to hold off for a few months from it. Because i was playing for far too long, terrific game but it's one of those that requires alot of play to cover all the good parts of it. that and i've got exams at the moment.

Education is overrated. Surely you can see how playing any of the Total War games for an extended period of time is far more advantageous than studying for those silly exams. :cool:

Same. Too sickly.

Snickers/Marathons are much better.

Multiplayer sucks:(
All the good stuff is missing and there's only battle.

Good thing there are other turn based map strategy games:)

I disagree. Personally, I think there's a good element added to the game when you battle other humans, rather than the AI. The AI tends to be predictable, chooses bad troop configurations, and is easy to defeat. I enjoy the imperial campaign very much, however if I had to choose between the two I'd pick multiplayer.

Well, would you look at that? It's another Lunatic Goofballs thread! If you ask me, it's a good thing that our galaxy is less heavy than previously estimated. That way we have more room for NationStates forum threads, the other dark matter.

Damn right. If we have any trouble with the Magellanic Boys, our dad will have a little talk with their dad.
