[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9242941, member: 4534"] Bingo. I don't really need to know how faster than light travel works unless it has something to do with the plot. For a work of fiction like A Knight's Tale, something one of my professors would have referred to as historical fantasy, I'm pretty much fine with the anachronisms. So in a game like [I]Pendragon, [/I]it bothers me not that the campaign might start with people wearing chain armed with spears and kite shields but by the end we're wearing full plate and there are cannons on the battlefield. Sometimes it's the little things that throw me off though. [I]Pearl Harbor [/I](2001) - Nevermind that an active duty U.S. airman was fighting at the Battle of Britain, but you mean to tell me that in the year 1942 on an American Naval base not a single person in the control tower was smoking? No? Not a single person? [I]The Patriot [/I](2000) - If you were to learn about the Revolutionary War from this movie you'd walk away with the impression that the British were poopy heads and that'd be the least of it's crimes. There's a scene where a British officer shows up to Mel Gibson's "plantation" and offers all the black "workers" their freedom if they come to the Crown's side. One of the black workers says something like, "We're free men." Okay. This plantation in South Carolina pays its black workers a wage? Uh, huh. Here's my other leg, go ahead and pull it. [/QUOTE]
