Any updates?

Found Yellow! However, no game boy color in sight - curses! Oh well, I'll use the good ol' SP. My file sucks right now, but I found a great trick to get Pikachu to like me: keep attempting to feed it potions when full health, and it likes that. Finally - 10 years later - I have Bulbasaur! Never got Pikachu to like me enough, I guess.

Same on the wii, but you can crash the system and load homebrew with it. While loading, install; and then no more do you need to crash the wii to use it, just load the homebrew channel and have your SD card in.

But, the DS doesn't have a regular SD slot whereas the DSi does. that's why I'd go for that. Much much much easier.

I may invest in the DSi merely because of it. Nintendo's only use right now is homebrew - and those shiny looking remakes of Gold & Silver.

I had this in a low-quality rm or wmv at one point... I'll look around, but I don't think I have it anymore.

WHOA! -1 learned not to double space. I jest of course. Can't wait for more news!

Well... the ads are gone.  Can it stay that way, please?

I'm not a fan of having the thumbnail images of the people's avatars before the threads, but other than that this looks like it could be a major improvement! :)

Took me awhile, but I found it! http://geek-orthodox.blogspot.com/2008/08/i-find-your-lack-of-authenticity.html

Fantastic cover!  I think it could use some more on the back, but that would take away from the picture of the box - so I'm personally conflicted. Another masterpiece from Feta!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWiTl_eAAnA - now, I know this is meant to be humorous, but that's a pretty good comparison.  I wouldn't have caught it at first.

Since when does Jay DO anything other than pop in when someone has a suggestion / he updates the site?  I haven't seen him post anywhere else in forever...

My thoughts are this: personally, I think it's great that they think Star Tours is worth updating.  I just wish they wouldn't take away the original in the process, though I can understand why.

Hopefully that was a quick pre-render just to show the expo and the ride really looks better.  That's my main concern.

That looks MUCH better to me - just a simple change of lighting for the setting makes him so much more threatening.

Nice knowin' ya Ric, hopefully this means more Frink (hey, that rhymes!)

Does it? Perhaps I am just rhymically challenged, but I don't hear it.

 

Rick -  Frink.  It's a stretch, but I heard it when I made the connection.  Not as much now.

Like the darker-looking Rancor, but don't dig the yellow eyes.  It's like giving them to Anakin: overkill.

12 days ago it was online.  Don't know what happened.

Leave it to the Moth3r to spoil the fun rather than tell Frink in private... ah well.

Nice knowin' ya Ric, hopefully this means more Frink (hey, that rhymes!)

...Which was the original plan, wasn't it?  Why not do this?

Oh well, I've got a year to ride it again.

I don't think it'll be multiple, I think it'll be a replacement.  That's more why I'm angry.  Although, if they upgraded the original ride to fit the standards of the new technology in this "destination" (ie 3D screens, etc) I'd be one happy camper.  I just really don't think they'll go to the trouble.  These are two companies infamous for creative decisions, Disney and Lucasfilm (although Disney is a bit more subtle about how they change their movies & history).

I don't think they'll keep the original destination.  It's doomed to be like the '97 SE (I would say the OOT but there's the GOUT for that).

Posted info in general start wars.

To a certain extent, yes.  I mean, Lucas flipped at almost everything - whether it was the actors making a small joke or one thing went wrong.  We all know the editing process, if left to Lucas alone, would have gone HORRIBLE.  Even the official documentaries say that his first cut was bad.

George Lucas is a poor director - he jsut got lucky and had a friend in his wife of the time in the editing room.

I believe ESB's 70mm version was used for the super 8 films, but I may be mistaken - I'm only basing this on the fact that both have differences from the more known version.

Well, they did their "filming" a couple months ago.  I figure they could at least whip up a test that looked a bit better by now.
