A Alien

MathUser said:

There’s actually a scene where Darth Vader hires some alien bounty hunters. With Emperor’s powers you don’t think he could rise above humans and rule them?

He… does rule? He rules the galaxy. It’s why he’s called “The Emperor”.

That’s way better and also funny!

EMPEROR

The Emperor didn’t seem too concerned about the battle itself, in fact I thought he tricked the Rebellion into attacking just so he could get to Luke.

Exactly.

It’s private so I can’t see it.

There’s a Gauntlet II announcer compilation on YouTube that’s pretty great!

lol that’s from the university in my hometown.

How small this world is.

Honestly, by the time I saw Dooku use the lightning I wasn’t at all fazed because I’d used it myself in however many video games. If you need someone to blame for lightning not being unique to the Emperor, blame Kyle Katarn.

EDIT: Holy shit, there’s five pages of this?! Sorry if this is no longer relevant, it was on the page where I clicked “reply”.

No, you’re definitely correct. Force lightning was devalued by video games long before AOTC… but the more I think about it, the more it annoys me that the Emperor uses what had come to be regarded as a pretty basic Sith ability.

I just had a thought.

Is it just me, or does Luke contribute very little to the battle of Endor after he gets captured? Like, I can’t imagine the battle going too differently regardless of what happened between him, Vader, and the Emperor.

He’s important to the set up for the fight (I’d hardly see shuttle Tydirium getting through without him), yes, but the Death star II would have been destroyed after he got captured no matter what, it seems.

Yeah, the old EU tried to retcon this by saying the Emperor was using “battle meditation” to direct the Imperial fleet and once he died it all fell apart, but battle meditation has always felt like one of the dumbest concepts in the old EU.

I like when he pops up to tell other people how they’re wrong.

Considering we’ve not all burned to death since the 1980s I’d say it’s safe to assume it’s still there.

They don’t let you use question marks in filenames.

Dude, driver update is always the first stop on the troubleshooting tour!

I thought it was “Throw out your MAC and buy a RC.”

That’s always the very first step, but I assumed he was at least past that because he was actually running the game to begin with.

Much like Jimmy Buffett’s “Boats, Beaches, Bars & Ballads”

So this is big news.

This along with the Xbox announcements from Microsoft at E3 earlier this year are going to lead to some very interesting things down the line in terms of the “line” between PC and console gaming.

I’d like to see a Mac top this.

Just need to telnet to that address in Terminal for the Mac. Not that hard, pretty much every internet connected machine on this Earth can do that.

Yeah but PCs are affordable.

Just that the ones you’ll get will be terrible to use.

Yeah, much better to pay twice as much for the same parts so you can use a question mark in your filenames.

IT’S NOT JUST ABOUT THE FILENAMES!

And they’re not the same parts. I’ve used a lot of what people say the “affordable” PCs that use the “same parts” and they’re absolutely abhorrent to use.

OK, very tempting to call you a little whippersnapper right now. A computer is a tool, at least it is to those of us who make a living using them. Windows has its place, OS X has its place, Linux has its place, BSD has its place, Unix has its place. But it is lame/wrong to think one of these is perfect for all uses.

If only I knew how to use markdown I could get my point across better!

Some things are better designed than others. It’s not all opinion in everything, there is an amount of objectiveness.

(bringing this into the off-topic crap-fest where it belongs)

dude, you are not only wrong, but you are annoying while doing it. what do you even use computers for that you think your opinions matter in the slightest to others? In other words, why do i care that you love a mac and hate windows? if its just because you like the shiny, then please stop talking.

its a tool. tools are designed for a purpose.

if you are building a house, you probably have like, at least four different ways of hammering a nail into wood. pneumatic nail-gun, framing hammer, pneumatic finishing nail-gun, soft-face hammer. Probably more. don’t tell me about other hammers i forgot, take that to the “different types of hammers” thread that you are suddenly and compulsively tempted to create. The point is, if i ever met someone who said they built houses, but went on and on about how their soft-face hammer is the best because it never marks up the wood, i would know that they are not really building houses. they just like holding hammers.

if you are still reading, sorry for how harsh i am in this post (that is why this is off-topic right?) but i feel like you deserve it for creating this thread.

JEDIT: ok you didn’t create this thread my bad, but you did bring it back to life for some reason.

Good post!

Yeah, I’ve heard it before.

I like the part where the guys says they’re obviously related because they both stab with lightsabers once. MYTH CONFIRMED.

Nice. Always neat to try new things.

Do tell?

It includes the team of my United State, Arizona!

Sick president bro.
