He didn't have a hat.

Probably a bad idea to say it, then. =P

I'm not fighting either! There is no fight!

No blasters!

Again, I don't fault you for your choice, but I disagree with it in the strongest sense of the word.

Thanks to this thread, I now see that all faked accents in movies are racial stereotypes with intent to offend.

I take back all previous posts to the contrary, and I will now proceed to be pissed at Christian Bale for his obviously offensive portrayal of Americans in nearly all of his films.

PC is where it's at for gaming. Console controls (especially for FPS) are generally sub-par (though they are better in certain cases), not to mention that you can build yourself a bleeding-edge computer for around a thousand bucks (if you know what you're doing), and it'll out-perform a console, as well as be able to do just about anything else you need to do.

I just have this weird feeling that, as consoles get closer and closer to PCs that, eventually, it'll just be that the new Xbox or Playstation or Nintendo is just an over-priced, mid-range PC that does fewer things and the only reason they exist is to sell "exclusive" games.

Oh. Wait.

FACE.

Pretty well-known fact that Dell ... suck.

I'm in a room with four laptops now ... the other three are Dell and they're all at least five years old (two of them are ten) and they all work pretty damn well considering their age, and none of them were babied.

Wut.

It's weird. I know.

There was a time when every off-topic thread was in some way about Bond.

It sucked then, and it sucks now.

I think everyone in the world - women included - would rather see more boobs than balls.

Pie is far superior.

Just sayin'.

Happy birthday, then! Woo!

Weird. ASUS is really the best laptop on the market today, and Acer is always a pile of crap. Gateway, too, since Acer makes Gateway laptops.

Shoulda bought ASUS laptops.

Haha! My room mate had one of those pieces of shit! I wasn't impressed. 

Sure you don't mean Acer?

The Asian accents the Nemoidians have (one of the many controversial aspects) I actually dig, they remind me of the AIP dubs for the Godzilla movies.

I always found that outrage funny/sad. So I guess everyone in a diverse, alien-filled space population has to talk with a straight, no-accent American English voice? Everyone has to sound the same or it's racism? Is that what they want? Bland non-diversity?

I don't remember seeing any British outrage when all the members of the evil Empire spoke with their accent.

Some of these folks need to find a hobby like stamp collecting or something so they're not bothering the rest of us with their bullshit. =P

...I would agree in so far as that giving aliens Earthly accents is, well, extremely *silly*.

Having everyone talking English is one thing - it's a way to better connect with the audience and just forget about the whole inconvenient diversity thing.

These two things don't seem to make sense together!

Of course, if you want to go full-OT, ANH has Greedo, and the kubaz, and Ponda, and a few others who didn't speak English. Even Jabba was dubbed.

Maybe he's just guessing?

I'm in a room with four laptops now, one's an HP and the other three are Dell and they're all at least five years old (two of them are ten) and they all work pretty damn well considering their age, and none of them were babied. Apart from the fact that they're old and not so fast anymore.

I dunno what you were doin' to yours, man...

Anyway, in the end I don't really care and was only joking. If it works for you, go for it. That's how I see it.

Only costs about five times more!

Plus their contract was ending anyway. =P

And with TOR coming out...
