Anyway, I'm about 10-11 hours into KOTOR II, I've been to Paragus, Nar Shaddaa, and Dantooine and I've finally gotten my lightsaber.

Now I can get rid of those crappy vibroblades and really start kicking ass.

I don't know, I haven't really ever played FFX, besides there is too much else to play and too little time off of school to play things that arent' fun.

Note: there is no exaggeration in this post

Along this same line, I hate when rebates require you to cut out the UPC code from a package and they are part of the physical packaging. Coconut's has had some great mail-in rebates on CDs lately that bring the price down to something like US$7, but I have to butcher the packaging by cutting the UPC code off it. I hate that.

Thats what I meant about it being printed on the box, luckily it was on the box flap and they only required copies: I just stuck the flap on the scanner and scanned it.

I may get alot of flak for this, but I think these last few seasons of Enterprise are a hell of a lot stronger than the whole series of Voyager...but thats my opinion.

Well, they were churning them out like crazy from 2002-2003, I couldn't keep up.

Besides, two novels have been released in the last two months, what more could you ask for?

I agree, I loved that change.

I think the music with the back-up vocals right after Vader tells Luke "if you will not turn to the darkside, perhaps she will..." from ROTJ would really work great for the new Obi-Ani duel in Ep III (even though I haven't seen it yet, they might have used that segment)

Well, the first part of the game, the "Tanker" chapter chronicles the events after Solid Snake, Otacon, and their organization, Philanthropy, obtain classified information that a new prototype of Metal Gear is being transported under cover of an oil tanker to an unknown destination. Armed, Snake infiltrates the tanker to keep it from falling into the wrong hands, but something goes wrong. Russian terrorists board the tanker while all of the marines are in the hold. Snake sneaks to the hold. He watches as the Commander of the Terrorists(Gurlukovich) tries to steal Metal Gear Ray but Revolver Ocelot(with Liquid Snake's arm) double-crosses him and steals is for "The Patriots." The tanker sinks, ocelot gets away, Snake is presumed dead.

I think I'm going to read some of the stuff that Kojima based the craziness that was MGS2 on so that I can finally understand just what the hell he was saying.

There are some definite moments when Twi-Leks start yelling, maybe the pitch could be turned up a bit and the audio sped up. It'd sound just like a gungan.

MGS 2 had the most thought provoking story in my opinion because it was just so full of postmodernism, its just a majority of American audiences didn't get it is because it wasn't supposed to make sense(in simple terms) and also because it was drawing heavily on the works of Japanese postmodernists that most of us wouldn't have read.

There is a great essay on this topic here.

I'm sure it is easy enough to rip language tracks from video games and the like, or at least its easy for PS2 games I'm not so sure about XBox.

But it is probably easier just to rip them from the PC version, I wonder what MF would think about using the KOTOR language tracks?

I think I found the show I was looking for, the things I remember weren't Jets at all, but Wing Gundams in "Bird Mode" apparently.

So Mobile Suit Gundam Wing is the show I remember, ironically, because I remember this show also having a serious tone to it and neither G-Force or Voltron have a serious tone from my research and neither did they have a jet-like vehicle.

Well call me Sherlock Holmes and loan me some opium

That has been bothering me for years.

Well, at least we didn't grow up in the 80s and wear neon striped spandex, leg warmers, chucks, or have bad hair.(No Offense to those who grew up in the 80s of course).

No, but I was just researching it while I was looking for the show I can't remember...it was supposedly one of the best cartoons in the early days of "toonami."

Well, I've noticed there is a hell of a lot more tension now that JG had betrayed someone's trust(Spoilerrific) and leaked some photos that he swore not to to his little minions.

But from what I can see, there has always been animosity between these two forums, whether it is due to JG being a "f**ktard" or what, I really haven't been around all that long to know the whole story and I don't want to pass judgment on MF.com behind their back(theoretically).

I haven't really been a fan of TF.N since I saw some of the BS and flaming over there, but I'm sure MF.com has their reasons the same as I have mine.

Edit: Sorry if this doesn't make sense, it was done very late.
