Talk:The Old Man in the Cave

message: There is an attempt at analysis of this episode, that it revolves around faith. Faith in what? Goldsmith? The Computer. The Soldiers?
What starts out as a good treatise against the thuggery of Statism, the soldiers pushing people around and asserting their authority simply because they can. But then there's the other authority, Mr. Goldsmith. Is this what we're supposed to believe in? His say so? Because that's what the townspeople have been given. And he failed. 
Why the "Old Man in the Cave" hoodwinking? Goldsmith must have known it was a computer, he knew how to open the door. Why the injection of Faith by him? Why not simply allow the townspeople to know that it is a computer, one equipped to detect lethal levels of radioactivity? Wouldn't everyone been better served to know the truth and the reality without shenanigans? That seems to be the lesson.
Yet the episode winds up bolstering blind faith in "betters" and go with it, 'cuz they're right. That's the worst moral lesson of all. There are two types of States of the 20th centuries, or a blending of both, those that physically coerce and those that brainwash. French was the former, Goldsmith the latter. It was French AND Goldsmith together that killed those people. Goldsmith knew the truth and played games with these people. He set himself as the IMPORTANT one, the intermediary between the great unwashed and THE TRUTH. He held a monopoly on where the information was coming from, and treated everyone else like sheep. Goldsmith was greedy too, greedy for bureaucratic power. Once he was revealed to be a liar of sorts, the people revolted. Instead of an informed mass making decisions with all the known data, they were kept intentionally ignorant. That's what you get from the State, fictions and half truths to lull you into complacency. And if that doesn't work, you get the jackboot. And in typical fashion, the failed bureaucrat is left pondering where everyone else went wrong. 
But who would have expected any different lesson than the one tossed out by this episode? The whole series exudes Liberal Statism.--12.28.101.34 15:45, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: The rifle that Asuka uses is a standard NERV "Positron rifle".  The one Rei uses is different; is it the same as the Super Positron Rifle used in episode 6, or just another sniper rifle?--Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 16:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

message: It's been a while since I've watched the series, so my memory's fuzzy: In the scene when Asuka's talking about not wanting to be near anything that Shinji or Misato have used, does she say the stuff about everyone she hates there?

The whole series was recently uploaded onto Youtube so that's what I'm going off of (search around you'll find it...note that I'm not specifically saying where to keep everything street-legal).--->Of course, that's not even getting into the fact that the Platinum DVD's that had Deleted Scenes (21 through 26) apparently re-recorded ALL of the dialogue, not just the deleted scenes; probably because if they couldn't get the Gendo voice-actor back they didn't want him to have one voice in the deleted scenes and one voice in the rest.  In any event, I only recently noticed (i.e. Ritsuko's "that bitch!" line) that the script itself has been altered in pre-existing scenes.  Well, that's another task to get to eventually...btw, the "Deleted scenes" are from the Platinum DVD, right? I assumed they were...  --Vi Veri Veniversum Vivus Vici 21:38, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Grand Theft Auto IV

message: Overall, a work of WP:SYNTH. It does not seem undue to merge this article to the controversies section, or perhaps also the article about Jack Thompson. A great deal of it revolves around anti-video-game hysteria fomented by a few people, and none of it had any quantifiable effect on the game's popularity or sales. While the main article should certainly have a section concerning responses from public figures, there's no indication it merits a separate article and removing tangential references to the game will trim it down massively.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:30, 21 April 2023 (UTC)

This article mentions that the motion capture was done first, and then michael hollick went to a studio to do facial animations and voice. So it's possible that when, in the gamasutra interview, the image metrics guys were talking about how they "improved" the process with headcams, they weren't talking about gta 4,since in the only surviving image of the motion capture (in the art of gta 4 book) they wore no head cams, but they definutely wore them in the first red dead, and were shaped like a "duckbill" Hayytham (talk) 15:09, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

However, Wikipedia is not a travel guide and should not serve as a booking portal for trips to Sylt. So that link might be appropriate on Wikitravel but not here.

This category is merely a case of "People from Foo" but Foo has not yet been identified.  All of the tags for "People from Foo" where Foo has been identified are on the article page.  
Please do not refer me to the CfD.  The discussion ignores the "People from Foo" issue and also ignores what occasionally happens when a place of birth is learned — not only is a category added to the article for Place of birth but also for all the places the person worked, in many cases there is a category for each of the countries and each of the cities within each country.
