30 lives times 3 continues=90 lives.. the second nine was a typo (as slash would point out in this situation, 9 and 0 are right next to each other on the keyboard)
Facts Checked.
I will concede to Gomez that the difference between "Contra code" and "konami code" can be equated to regional street slang.
And finally.. FBDhasnocluewhathe'stalkingabout
First off.. as I told you when we FIRST had this argument...the one solid FACT of Star Wars is that the films supersede any printed errata whenever the two may conflict. I also pointed out that, at the time.. the ONLY evidence of Obi Wan being a "Master" was IN the movie, and it was quite obvious that "Master *Jediname here*" was a formal mode of address, much as Doctor for physicians and "Sir" for Knights, particularly in view of the fact that at one point in the film even Annakin was addressed as "Master jedi".. grant you, Padme corrected the mistake.. but she DIDN'T say "he's not a Jedi master" she said "he's not a Jedi". Add to that the fact that Obi Wan is identified as a Jedi Knight in the original FILMS and my original argument is still proven true. Now.. if you've come across errata released since that original argument that supports your statement, I'll be happy to concede the point.. since I haven't really read any recent Star Wars articles or releases, though we could argue that unless the statement was made by Lucas himself, the fact that the original films clearly identify him as Knight are supported by the FACT that the movies take precedence over anything else.
And Gandalf an ELF??? HAHAHAHA!!!! WRONG moron.. go read some actual Tolkien, he's neither man NOR elf, he is Istari, one of the 5 Maiar spirits sent by the Valar from Valinor to Middle Earth to guide and advise the Free peoples in countering the threat of Sauron. Gandalf is commonly believed to have been a vassal of Manwe, chief of the Valar. A DIRECT quote from the Silmarillion concerning the Istari:
"Even as the first shadows were felt in Mirkwood there appeared in the west of Middle-earth the Istari, whom Men called Wizards. None knew at the time whence they were, save Cirdan of the Havens, and only to Elrond and Galadriel did he reveal that they came over the Sea. But afterwards it was said among the Elves that they were messengers sent by the Lords of the West to contest the power of Sauron, and to move Elves and Men and all living things of good will to valiant deeds. In the likeness of Men they appeared, old but vigorous, and they changed little with the years, and aged but slowly, though great cares lay upon them; great wisdom they had, and many powers of mind and hand."
Now.. if you WANT me to continue demonstrating YOUR complete lack of knowledge, by all means.. try me, I have 20 years of research into Tolkien backing me here buddy boy.
You're workin' with a professional here. You bunch of losers!! NICE FUCKING MODEL!!!
