It actually makes me miss the old Jar Jar by Darth Chaltab

A few things I noticed on my second viewing of Balance....
One: A digital man's subtitles are MUCH better than MagFan's, so I reccomend using them. They are on track one, so it makes it easy for you.

The biggest probelm is that reading the subtitles causes the visuals to suffer, and the mouths don't lip-sync properly. The talking of the Nemoidians in many cases is obvioulsy a dialogue reel being played backwards, and it is really agrivating. It just seems shoddy. Further more, Jar Jar losses all his personality, and all his best lines are replaced by generic things. (Only in ADM's subtitles. In MagFan's, Jar Jar comes across like a selfish prick)

The biggest problem is that a lot of conversations now make little to no sense, with important words and sentenses removed. This is most blatant when quigon rescues from 'Governer' Nass....Jar Jar.
Jar Jar says "I saved you," and mentions nothing of the Gungans' gods--and in the next scene immediately, Jinn says he saved Jar Jar--and It seems like Jinn just makes the 'gods' up from thin air. It doesn't work.

I did, however like some of the reinserted footage, so it balances the score a little.

Verdict
TMP=7/10
BotF with Magfan's subs=5/10
BotF with ADMs subtitles=6/10

Nope.

And about the EpIII game: Why does grievous only have two arms in that screen?

Sounds pretty... entertaining.

I picked up Prime 2 earlier today. I haven't dived into the single player game yet, but me and my bro played a few rounds of Multiplayer.

The verdict: It won't be replacing anyone's Halo2 LAN party, but it is still pretty fun.

The Halo's and Kotors alone should be worth the cost of them + an Xbox.

Well. It is definitely worth it if you know which books to get.

Anything written by Tim Zahn is excellent, as is most of the New Jedi Order.

But if you've been out of it for a while, definitely start with Zahn's Heir to the Empire, as it introduces some of the most important EU characters, such as Mara Jade, Talon Karde, and Borsk Fey'lya.

I saw a few episodes. I did see the one with Grievous.

Opinion: I thought in that cartoon, grievous looked like an idiot. The whole way he moved was just lame and silly looking. So I hope that he is different in the movie.

That is the link I posted at the beginning of this thread.

The Trailer at Gamespot is the long version, and I've only seen the shortened version on TV.
