Online dating is a real hit or miss type thing and it largely comes down to luck and location. It’s also basically useless if you don’t live near a big city, unless you get really lucky

It’s probably a lot less hit and a lot more miss when you have social anxiety and rely on someone messaging you first to break the ice.

Yeah I would imagine so. You don’t know these people so what do you have to lose messaging them first? All they can do is not respond.

I know the feeling, my friend…

I knew there was something with you two.

In all seriousness I know the feeling as well. It’s rough. You need to tell her how you feel, exactly, and if she doesn’t feel the same then you need to break away. A tortured existence isn’t any good for anybody.

I can’t really think of any video game that really made me feel like I’m having a lot of fun that wasn’t on a Nintendo system. I feel like the whole “Video Games Are Art” thing has kind of put fun to the wayside, and that’s not really what I want from games.

+1. I only bother with Nintendo. The only time I ever play games for other systems are if they are a continuation of a series started on a Nintendo system. (E.g. Mega man)

If Lucas had been given as much control over the ST as he had over TESB, I would’ve been completely fine with that.

He had more than that for the PT and look how that turned out.

I read Duracells post as having taken that into account. As in if he had precisely that amount and no more. Something I agree with. I think Lucas is a great idea man and a great story teller. The prequels suck but it isn’t because of the big picture. If Lucas could have been involved but not been in charge of directing the actors or writing the actual script I think the sequels might be a step better. The way I view it the prequels are beautifully designed. The story is great I think. The actual plot had flaws but that could have been fixed without huge changes, which ties in to my next point… They were poorly executed. In edited form I enjoy them a great deal but the fact is the theatricals weren’t meant to be a rough cut so you can’t grade them by that. Not the sequels are the opposite. They aren’t designed as well (IMHO) and their overall story isn’t as great. (Not to mention rotj ends the “saga” perfectly, even if it isn’t a perfect film. Now I do think these stories deserve to exist and I like them, but they shouldn’t be episodes 7,8, and 9. They are a new story. They should just be a new series.) however it is still good I think and the characters are great. And the execution is quite well done. So while I think the prequels have a better story overall Lucas botched the execution so badly. If he could have added that flair to the sequels but had this team executing it I think it could have been completely spellbinding. As it is the sequels are still far better films in a vacuum than the prequels, but it’s a shame they don’t have the same artistic flair.
