Since there was really no place to talk solely about comics, I decided to make my own thread.

First of all, which story arc or series is your favorite?

I think that is what we are all getting at: its not a game with a great new concept that no one has ever done before, its a game with a flawlessly executed concept.

I just bought the second one, but I haven't had time to read it yet.

I thought the first one was pretty good, since its co-written by Michael Reaves there are some returning characters that you would never expect to ever see again from his earlier Darth Maul novel. I thought that was pretty cool since I enjoyed his Darth Maul stories (which more or less concentrated on unknown characters than the main characters which appeared on the covers: Darth Maul and Bariss Offee).

That said, if you only want to know about the main characters, wait for Jedi Trial or that Yoda novel coming out later this year. But if you don't mind hearing about characters that have never been seen before, you're in for a pretty good read that gives us some insight into what it was like on the frontline of the Clone Wars and the morality questions that were raised during that time.

I hate:
Bad voice acting.
Flat soda.
Stale Bread.
Old men leaving their outside porch lights across the street on so that it feels like daytime in my bedroom.
Pleather.

Speaking of San Andreas, I really enjoy it. The Playstation 2 is starting to show its age, but since graphics don't really matter to me, I still cherish it and my games.

The gameplay is really good (took a while to get used to the controls after playing VC for so long), and I love the voice acting (Samuel L. Jackson anyone?), but the missions to unlock the bridges to the new areas are incredibly frustrating and repetitive at times, but thats always been the main complaint of everyone since way back in 2001 and GTAIII.

To an earlier post: I am also looking forward to MGS3 and see how Kojima's wackyness and love for "shocking" plot turns plays out.

By the way, has anyone played that Katamari Damacy game for the PS2 yet? I've heard some great things about it.

I totally agree. He is still the same visionary he was 30 years ago, and he still has the same vision. IMHO he is just not very adept at the aspect of the job he is trying to do now (writing, directing), I think he took on too much of a burden. Hopefully he lived and learned and will finally be at his peak for Episode III.

Edit: Poor grammar

Its not that you don't know what is going on in the films if you haven't watched the EEs, its that you don't know why its going on.

I'd take special editions like this with added scenes over the theatrical releases anyday...uh...just for LOTR

Seriously, I felt that they added tremendously to the story (Treebeard's Entmoot and March of the Ents still doesn't make sense though, how did they all just appear?). I especially love the end of TTT when Merry and Pippin found Saruman's stash: classic.

...probably not many, and if you are only referring to the campaign when you say it is overrated then you are completely missing out on what people loved about it in the first place, slick multiplayer with a plethora of options.

Listen, if you want a good star wars game along the lines of Battlefront, buy Battlefield 1942 and then get the Galactic Conquest mod (www.galactic-conquest.net). It was also made by Pandemic studios and may not be as polished as Battlefront seems to be, it is still pretty fun.

I think if you use Nero 6.0 you can convert any video file (maybe not .mov) by just going to the VCD or SVCD option, but it takes a really long time to convert. Thats the only way a computer n00b like me knows how to do it.

Exactly, I said something to that effect a couple of pages ago. The Outbound Flight storyline is getting really, really old. Survivor's Quest was all I really wanted or needed to know about the OFP.

SFBC may have hardcover, but they really don't have the high quality that the reg publisher does(the paper is really weird and thin feeling too). I would just go with getting the "like new" or "new" copies on Amazon.com(I got most of my harcovers, including TUF, SQ, VP, and DW brand new for less than $40, much cheaper than SFBC). But if you just buy the ones that aren't released as hardcovers(the paperback exclusive ones like the force heretic trilogy)by the reg publisher, then I would get them from SFBC. As a matter of fact, I did just get the ones not released by Del Rey as hardcovers from SFBC.
