That has got to be the stupidest outfit I've ever seen.

Sorry... :)

I'll delete it so you don't see it.

I give you less than two days.

I'd give him a bit more time than that. He's unnecessarily abrasive, but hardly a troll.

 Yes, yes it is.

 I beg to differ.

Warb, are you forgetting to move?

I think the visual disconnect results from trying to make him younger. It makes little sense for someone several centuries old to look significantly different over a mere thirty years. That, and they used silicone skin versus the latex skin of the original.

Or else they applied the same goofy rationale later used to justify "fixing" the "flaws" of the original Vader helmet design for ROTS.

 But if you compare Ep. V Yoda with Ep. VI Yoda, there is a noticeable difference as well. Yoda looks pretty bad in ROTJ, so why not make him look younger in the prequels?

 Because it's like making a 90yr old human look 45 because they are a year younger.

 Maybe it's just me, but I never thought he looked that much younger in the prequels, aside from his extraordinary athletic abilities. He doesn't look as real because he's CG, but age-wise I don't think he looks that different.

I guess it's exaggerating to say that Albertan weather is like that all the time. It isn't uncommon though.

I have. Albertan weather is like that all the time (not at this time of year though).

I think this is a record for me. I'm on equal footing with you and it's over twenty turns into the game (no bragging intended). :)

 I just realized how bad of a position I'm in. Well, it looks like I'll have to choose between my goose or my flying swallow.

Gs-22

The mountain dove and mountain stag appeal to me the most, since they don't reduce the strength of the piece too much. Right now I'm leaning more towards the former.

LOL :D

HH-21

If you can't find a suitable piece replacement, then just limit the number of spaces the FS can move and don't worry about not being true to the regular moves. There are several pieces that have different moves in different Shogi games anyway, so doing the same with Ito Shogi probably wouldn't be a problem.

Hitchcock remade his own movies. 

true, and his remakes are usually better than the originals.   perhaps a loophole should be allowed for when the maker of the original does the remake?

 Unless they're like George Lucas, in which case we don't want them to remake any movies whatsoever.

Interesting. I've never heard of sonic showers before. I guess it makes sense though. I forgot about your personal canon, but I guess that makes sense too.

Or books, if they're anything like me. :) There was a time when good stories didn't come from movies and TV shows you know...

March 6:

There were lots of treaties and edicts today, but none of them seemed particularly important.

A.D. 1479: Portugal exchanges the Canary Islands with Castile for territory in West Africa.

A.D. 1965: The first non-stop helicopter crossing of North America.

A.D. 2013: Syrian rebels capture Ar-Raqqah, their first major city.

This is a dull day for history.

Nitpicking time...

Beru wants a good, long shower on a desert planet where their only source of water seems to be vaporators (which collect water vapour from the air)?

Blue milk should either be just "milk" or "eopie milk" or whatever you want to call it. There is no evidence that they drink white milk, so it seems odd that they would call it what we call it.

I'm also curious as to what kind of monotheistic religion that simply titles their deity "God" is  native to Tatooine, or where it came from if it's from elsewhere.

I think you pulled this off in a believable manner, with the sandstorm/twisters and all. It makes sense and it doesn't seem too shoehorned into the story.

Shoot, I can't believe I let you do that again. :P
