Spader is good in everything.

Mostly everything, but I am still the real Daniel Jackson.

You know what game has the most of everything?  Well, maybe not weapons, but certainly city designs, architecture, dungeon variety, and stuff like that?  TESO.

It's funny you should mention city designs, because that was one of my least favorite things about the game. Every city I visited seemed to be just like the last, too small, and too sparsely populated.

The game is nothing if not wildly inconsistent.  Whoever designed the Dunmeri cities definitely dropped the ball, same as the people who worked on the Altmeri and Breton ones.  However, some of the other cities show much more imagination in their designs, both in terms of architecture and general layout.  I already mentioned that Elden Root is a giant tree, and Hissmir in Black Marsh is a xanmeer - that is to say, a large step pyramid.  On an interesting side note, these pyramids were most likely inspired by the ones that the Mesoamericans built, because that seems to be the main influence on the Argonian culture, but there is another possibilty.  Similar pyramids, called ziggurats, were built by ancient Mesopotamians.  And who else do we know was inspired by Mesopotamia?  That's right, the Dwemer.  So it turns out you were all wrong in that stupid debate about whether the Dwemer were elves or dwarves.  The Dwemer are, and always have been, Argonians.

The pyramids really were landing sites for interplanetary starships that enslaved primitive populations by posing as their gods. Mesoamericans and Mesopotamians had nothing to do with it.

Take it from me, the real Daniel Jackson.

How's this going?  Haven't had an update in over a month.

Neither have we. I'll send Daniel a follow-up e-mail later today.

I have yet to receive an email from you about this issue.

The real Daniel Jackson demands correspondence.

What about the 2004 series?

That's up next.

Are you going to watch the Stargate franchise some time?

Great series. I recommend it with the highest honors. Take it from me, the real Daniel Jackson.
