So has anybody here played Mario & Luigi: Superstar Sage for the GBA (I hope I didn't ask this a month ago, but I don't think I did)? It's not an incredibly hard RPG, but it's just so much fun! Honestly, it's the closest I've come to watching a continuation of the old TV series, where the Mario Bros. work as a team. And back in the NES days, when game narratives were limited, it was really the old DiC cartoons that shaped my image of the Mario universe.

Aw, crap! I knew it was coming up, but I missed your 10,000th post! Well, congratulations, and hopefully I won't be too far behind in taking your place on the Jedi Council! ^_~

No, we mean chopped up music recordings from the earlier PT movies being reused in the later movies.

Well, I was actually referring to both. Clones only seemed to use some tracked music from Phantom, but Sith went totally crazy and had big recognizable chunks from both the OT and previous PT. I was never quite sure if I should feel nostalgic and happy or cheapened and cheated.

EDIT: Upon re-reading it, I need to clarify/change. I'm not talking about reusing the same themes, because, as a leitmotif soundtrack, Star Wars has always rearranged the same basic themes (like Luke's theme, Leia's them, and especially Ben's/Force theme). I complain about wholesale cut and paste of previously used arrangements, like a big chunk of the Luke/Vader ESB duel during Sith.

To RRS, I agree about your opinion of the Empire being white male only, and I wish they would keep it that way. But it isn't the first time EU has had females in the Empire. All the way back to Zahn, Mara Jade was the Emperor's Hand. Rogue Squadraon had Kasaan Moor (or however the hell you spell her name) as the leader of an Interceptor Squadron, so it's not exactly unheard of.

Yeah, I always forget about aquaman. He's that superhero nobody cares about. But he is DC not Marvel. Anybody see the robot chicken sketch where they had a super hero big brother reality show? Everyone kept picking on aquaman because he didn't have any real super powers. It was pretty funny.

I like the episode of South Park called "The Super Best Friends" better, with the hero called Sea-Man that all the other heroes call Semen. LOL...that ep ruled. It's the one with the Blaine-tologists.

And don't forget Sea-Man's aquatic sidekick Swallow! Heh, that was an awesome episode!

I rather like that idea about Christopher Pike. As a guy who has recently wondered what Star Trek as a whole would have ended up being like if Jeffrey Hunter had agreed to come back after the pilot (especially considering he passed on only a few years later), it makes me particularly interested in what they could do with that character (or even his entire original crew) in a new movie.

We can rebuild him. We can make him better than he was.

...Or we can just ignore him because we really don't care.

Wow, that was some pretty cool stuff, although the fight seemed rather random and dreamlike. Maybe it feels more natural in context of the film. Or maybe it is a dream!

You know, the first few times I read that, I could have sworn you wrote "Koreans" instead of "Korans," and I was wondering what that had to do with this conversation and why you were encouraging more of us to have free Koreans sent to our doors.

Yeah, I was semi-quoting you. I looked back and read that and realized it kinda sounded like my reasons were rather... oddly ambiguous for desperately wanting a black female on these boards, so I just wanted to clarify.

Yeah, that one bamboozled me, too. I think it'd be great if there was a black female here (because it means that someone outside the "white nerdy male" demographic frequents our boards), so if you really do exist, please make your presence known. ^_^

Yeah, exact ports of arcade games (especially of a nature like that) seem to lose some of their challenge in the home console world simply because you don't have to pump in quarters. I remember the arcade ports on the MegaMan Anniversary Collection. There was no way to lose because you just press start and continue the fight exactly where you left off.

Heh, good stuff, although [geek] his line "Every single person in that building is an enemy of the Republic," doesn't make sense because the body of government is very clearly an Empire by this point. [/geek]

I think that's probably what Samrogers was referring to. At least, that's what I assumed.
