Don't forget original taste!

Star Ocean Second Evolution for me, faithful port of the original PSX RPG. It's very good, but if you do play it, it is worth researching which two skills help you power through the game lol.

Jeez, I thought it was something less indie.

I think because of the coincidence between both Event Horizon and ships in 40k running into 'chaos' in the warp.

But as much as people keep making the parallel, it is just as likely that both drew their ideas from H.P. Lovecraft's ideas of what lies beyond what we know as spacetime in our comfortable sphere.

Well, if reported to the police, foul play or neglect was involved.

Coca cola to this day still uses 'vegetable extract'. What is the secret ingredient?

And every single Asian game and anime tends to go for skimpy or virtual softcore with it's female characters. Rarely you see a female character in full armor.

I think it was a trap should the life they seeded become space farers. When the humans arrived the engineers would have taken matters into their hands to 'reset' the world. But alas there was already an incident making most of the planet and engineers dead so one engineer was defeatable.

David went and did a 'reset' on the engineers planet. Not for revenge per se, but to remove a species that didn't serve his purpose.

All my conjecture but it seems the engineers were not too happy either to see space farers, or to realise that the space farers had produced an AI which they abhored for its inherent evil. I recall that the engineer was angered primarily by David talking to him, and David was talking about immortality for his master which was probably the final straw.

Both of them had no real personality in the whole movie, it was carried by CGI all in all.

For me it was just the sheer improbability of getting out alive. Missions to space are about precision and there's no room for error. I figure that anyone on the ISS will be on the escape module before such relatively large detectable debris even hits. The film was a bit of a dramatisation to say the least.

Hard to find a general public that'll justify the expenditure. Books on the other hand...

You're right but it all points to just how we correct everything and get better at it. Even NASA. And they lost lives in the process, even on the ground. So actually whatever happens now, the loss of lives is not an option.
