The Xindi Paradox

[Aaron]

First season Red Dwarf was okay. the rest slowly degraded into sh*tness in my opinion.

The only season I would consider even remotely poor was Eight. And that's mostly due to Chloe Annett's portrayl of Kochanski.

Munro. i'm 13. i didnt start computer gaming until earliest 2002. probably 03-04

Ah alright. I'm only ten years older. I played games that came out when I was born because of a slightly older brother and Nintendo's long life span but nothing really before 85. Anything older than that like Galaga I've caught off free internet sites or at old restraunts. You should try some games prior to 02. Rochey mentioned Halflife and believe me some amazing mods exist. I especially love the Time Traveler one. Its all in German and poorly translated English but especially the third episode is just amazing. In one game you go to 2100, 1891, 800000, 5billion, 20billion, 1914 France, and a place without Time. Then there's They Hunger which is still the scariest and best zombie game ever despite its dated Graphics. Lot of good things in the original Half Life. Also Star Craft, Age of Empires, the C&Cs, Jedi Knight, Descent. All great games from your toddler age that just rock.

They may have become isolationists for a few hundred years and then joined the federation just before that major battle against the sphere builders with the E-J. And maybe that was an alternate timeline and now with the NX-01 changing history like that the Xindi in the 'proper' timeline never became a major power again. Having your homeworld blown up can have that effect on a species.(2 Cookies for knowing the obscure reference)

So you agree then that the reseting of the timeline would likely wipe out much of what happened...

No, I'm saying the NX-01 changed the timeline to become what we know, rather the the E-J fighting in a battle with the sphere builders. After all, with the destruction of the spheres the sphere builders wouldn't be a problem in the future.

Yet a similar situation would not occur after the Space Nazis were destroyed and the timeline "corrected itself" in Deniel's words...

"Only" almost twice his age.

And I'm over twice his age, what an odd feeling.

It's not so odd. Now we know how everyone felt talking to us as teenagers.

I'd ask if we were as bad but I already know the answer.

[Mark]

And I used to give them crap about their age too. So, I guess turnabout is fairplay.

Perhaps we should start a thread for geezers like us, where we talk about how awesome Robotron 2020 or Master Blaster were the first time we played them, and use it as a reference point for the younger members.

On a related note, I'm thinking about talking my mom into joining the forum. She remembers life before Pong!

I think the 'corrected itself' statement was refering to the damage done by the Space Nazis. Which reminds me, does anyone remember what they were called?
