It’s disappointing that Off-Topic is essentially devoid of his personality now. The computer act doesn’t irritate me at all though.

I wish this whole business of throwing imperialscum under the bus had never started. I still am really annoyed by the guys conceit and arrogance, and wish he didn’t post here, but it makes it hard to place Darth ID in the wrong for insulting people.
I agree. I feel bad for bashing him.
Then again, in this canon he’ll leave his palace just to chat with a rogue smuggler. 😉
I’ll let you know when I watch it. I like the sounds of your description.
As long as they aren’t obsessed with a non-descript “true vision” that should prevent the existence of the unaltered films, I’m fine with them. I will say that I don’t see why they would want to frequent this forum instead of TFN.
I’m just glad the internet wasn’t a thing when I was a kid. The most high tech thing bullies could exploit was a telephone.
As we saw in the 1996 film Scream, cell phones led to some intense bullying.
In all seriousness, I’m glad I didn’t go through middle school with the internet too. Even telephones could be shut down pretty quick since a parent would usually overhear, or even answer the phone.
I hate exodus
You know, the reading of the law in the latter chapters is tedious, but the plagues on Egypt and the subsequent escape of the Israelites is pretty interesting. I’d say it’s worth it for that alone. I agree that it’s not as good as Genesis though.
😉
I think it should be noted that a lot of the newbies actually have been friendly enough, maybe a little strange, but there’s just a vocal few that were reminiscent of a Youtube comment section to say the least. I still kind of consider myself a newbie!
I really hate Snoke’s name.
As do I. That’s why I like to call him “Snokey”.
It’s better than Klagnon Morgooffu, or any other name from the prequels.
Why everybody gotta be related?
Not necessarily, but they all have to be best friends.
Has the influx of new assholes kinda petered out yet?
I haven’t been here long by any means, but I’ve noticed that things started getting frustrating once people started joining purely to “debate” TFA.
Kids don’t have the same ability of adults to cope with it though.
It doesn’t help that usually kids aren’t being harassed by the random Darth Dumbass who has no information on who they are, but rather people they actually know personally.
The audience also can’t leave until the tape has been rewound.
Why did you go from thinking that TDK was the best movie ever to being the worst motion picture ever?
Were you referring to me?
Yea, hath God said?
I was being hipster. I’ve changed my mind after re-watching it last night. I now give it an 8. But I never referred to it as a bad film. I gave it 6.
That’s fair. I hear six and I just picture a 60%. A D- at best.
It’s successors, Quantum of Solace and Skyfall, just tacked on the original style gunbarrel to the end of the movie, which was rather pointless.
Don’t even get me started on that.
When I saw the trailer for TFA where Rey pulled back that small curtain at the beginning, I thought that perhaps that could be the beginning of the movie. The crawl finished and the star field turned out to not be a field of stars at all. I do prefer what we ended up with to that idea though, as the opening Jakku village scene was perhaps the best part of the whole movie.
I don’t think, especially given how they’re running the ST so far, that they’ll ever stray away from the series’ traditions.
what he’s dead?
No, but here’s a quote on why he left:
"Now, I was dreaming when I wrote this, so forgive me if it goes astray, but when I woke up this morning I could’ve sworn that it was judgement day. The sky was all purple; there were people running everywhere. They were trying to run from the destruction, and you know I just didn’t even care. I say, 2000 zero zero, party over, oops, out of time. So, tonight I’m going to party like it’s 1999.
Again, I was dreaming when I wrote this, so sue me if I go to fast, but life was just and party and parties weren’t meant to last. The war was all around us, my mind said prepare to fight. So if I have to die, I’m going to listen to my body tonight."
Make of that what you will. I personally didn’t quite understand it, but I guess it makes sense.
They should just screen a VHS pan & scan copy of the Faces set.

I used to have a website in which I reviewed every single Roger Ebert rating.
Good point. Haha, I play all old video games on a tube TV. I play the Doom games and Duke 3d on my old desktop too.
Hopefully they’ll have all the time they need to make it great though. I’d take delays over a launch like Rome II: Total War in which everything is broken.
Very neat! I tracked down a texture pack for either Duke Nukem 3d or Doom quite some time ago. It was very similar. I tend to play the original graphics though, being the nostalgic old fool that I am. As much as I love seeing updated graphics, I love playing the old ones; I did this with the Halo Combat Evolved and Halo 2 remasters, as well as even Mario All Stars, which was awesome but just didn’t quite beat the originals. Again, this is all purely motivated out of nostalgia for me.
I find it kind of ridiculous that Jabba would launch the pod races and watch them live. Maybe if it were some kind of galactic championship, but not some random boring race. Also, why sit in the stands and watch it live? I don’t recall there being any big-screens stationed in view of the audience. I guess you just sit there and watch them come around three times.
Sometimes if an old comment has gotten divisive for no reason I’ll just put it on mute so that Youtube stops notifying me. It is interesting how argumentative SE fans on Youtube are. They’re very militant.
