BASICALLY WE NEED A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE PT ENTERING THE FORUM UNTIL OUR FORUMS LEADERS CAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON
Clarify.
SHIT I WAS GOING TO POST THAT
I HATE YOU FRINK
Georgie is no stranger to retreads. It’s hilarious how some people are now retroactively considering the other Star Wars movies “original,” prequels especially.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a Lucas made Episode VII was just as much a SW “rip-off” as TFA. TPM already kind of was.
Read this and was like “Oh boy, here we go again.”
I’m a couple months behind on comics. I’ve been pretty broke lately so they’ve been piling up in my box. Anyone read the Poe Dameron one yet?
Yeah, it’s pretty good, mostly because Snap Wexley is in it. 😃
Kinda reminds me of the old Rogue Squadron series. I like it.
I don’t watch or know anything about GoT so I’m completely oblivious.
Yeah, there will definitely be more heroes. Still odd that they’d be chosen.
I’m still not sure why people noticed the title being “wrong” while not realizing that it’s the same as Empire. If you’re inspecting the crawls that closely, wouldn’t you have at least thought about the idea that one other film might also have used that font?
Personally, I prefer the Empire font. I don’t think I’d want Jedi to have it though; all the crawls being slightly different like that gives each film more character.
Agree.
I know a lot about avatars on OT.com and let me tell you, this avatar is gonna be yuge. We’re gonna have the best avatars.
Darth Ass hasn’t logged in in two days. Is it too soon to hope that he’s taken another extended leave?
This made me allol
The comics have been seeming to get better as they go in my experience. I think they’re starting to find their footing now.
That’s disappointing to hear, but not at all surprising. I guess all the money went to the sights and sounds.
Yeah, I was reticent because I’m kinda past the point where I can get down with super-screamy/growly metal, but Ghost was really nice. A little more Opeth (especially their Heritage album). You should check it out.
Also, if you decide to skip Anthrax, at least check out their remix of Public Enemy’s “Bring the Noise”
The Jango vs Obi-Wan fight was a tad bit entertaining. Probably because Obi-Wan got separated from his saber.
It’s one of my favourite fights from the PT.
And that’s a bit sad considering the quality of said scene. Now the chase in the asteroid field was garbage.
Yep.
I dunno, I do love muh gunz.
FONTS ARE OVERRATED
System 4 lyfe
Still a better font than Calibri.
I’d heard a lot about Ghost from friends who are into metal, so I decided to check them out.
Man, they’re good.
Haven’t remembered any in a few days. Score!

He trusted the Geek Squad.
To be fair, I’ve been gone so long I didn’t know he was gone. Either way, welcome back!
I don’t remember anyone calling for me to be welcomed back!

You’re excused. <- This is a joke.

Can you imagine how hard it would be to not laugh at a Gungan funeral with a Gungan trying to give a stirring eulogy?
I think people are over-sensitive about cyber bullying. Everytime I watch some presentation about it, I see things that happen to me on the internet 5 times a day.
Someone on the internet calls you a “*************************” because you disagree with his opinion on the new Generic Shooter 16: Nuke Edition =/= Cyberbullying
That’s not to say it doesn’t exists, but those teachers, parents, whoever is making those anti-cyber bullying campaigns are targeting a completely wrong thing.
I think that’s the issue we face with any issue that arises due to technological advancement: there’s a period where we’re not sure how to handle it or what aspects of the issue to focus on.
People don’t take cyberbullying seriously often times because they think of someone flaming them for liking brie instead of Camembert which happens to basically everyone who becomes involved in any online community at some point in their online career (like I said in the Random Thought or Bitching thread, the anger is strong even on this tiny slice of the internet). Stuff like consistent emotional abuse or death threats or doxxing or brigading and SWATing or any of that stuff is pretty harmful. But efforts against online bullying aren’t focused enough just yet for it to be taken seriously as an actual issue (much like mental health in general).
The thing we old guard (and I’m not even old yet) may not realize, is that the filthy Millennials these days all grew up in a post-smartphone world, where being connected is just something that is. The majority of us here all grew up playing outside without our heads down staring at all of the data in the entire world in our hands. It’s easier for us to say “Hey just turn it off and go outside”, because we’re relics of a time when disconnecting was easy because we weren’t connected in the first place. Shit, even I find that hard to do sometimes.
A lot of kids these days get a Facebook account in middle school, and kids are shitty to one another. I mean at least people our age in school (I was homeschooled, but I can extrapolate) could go home and watch Voltron or some shit and not worry about bullies until the next day, but now kids are bullied at school and then go home to watch whatever goofy anime on their computer and the bullies are shooting them nasty messages on Facebook or something, and this is doubly worse for introverted people (like myself) who tend to find comfort online - when your comfort zone becomes hostile, where do you go then? War has changed, and disconnecting never occurs to them because they’ve always been hooked up to something, and god knows their parents (people our age) often have a tough time putting down the phone or the computer or whatever so they don’t learn to, either.
So it’s never really as easy as “stop people from bullying” or “make a safe space where people with dissenting opinions are banned” or “parent better” or even “just toughen up.” It’s kinda an amalgam of all of those things. Except the safe space one. That’s a ridiculous notion because the world can be a mean place and hiding from it does not serve you.

I want to go home*.

Is there an armadillo? Or good country music from Amarillo and Aberdeen?
