Did Virgil Fox play all the organ? It sounds like him. Kwantus 20:38, 2005 Apr 16 (UTC)

[edit] Intelligence women

The comment about the rich women being intelligence agents is ridiculous.

  • Even if they were all employed as spies on their mates, the likelihood that they would need weapons training is non-sensical. Remember, their domestic partners are pampered business executives, not James Bond nor Red Grant. Plenty of corporate espionage can happen without any physical violence.
  • If they were all spies with such training, why would multiple agents blow their cover at the party?

Much simpler explanations of the scene:

  • a bored and perverse society that needs violence and destruction to stay entertained (already stated in the article).
  • pleasure unit women venting out their sublimated anger over their imposed roles in this heartless society.

For either reason, the scene would have been much less effective if all of the pistol shots hit the ground. Dyl 01:21, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of non-cited items

There was a long part removed about the end of the last game. It was removed for no reference citing. Would this particular thing HAVE to be cited? How could opinions be cited? Jimmylogan0916 04:42, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe that opinions are not desired in a encyclopedic article. See WP:NOT, the section on "Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought". If you can cite (i.e. verifiable) claims to the opinion, that may be worthy of inclusion.
