What tv show memories pop in your head from childhood while playing with your star wars toys
Time

I never really played with toys in front of a tv. I liked to make up my own stories and do crazy things with action figures. Oh the many things I did to that poor Tamtel Skreej Lando and Emperor Palpatine...that's probably where my random Palpy quotations stem from.

The question now becomes what to do with your SW toy collection...and yes sometimes one simply must pick up more...still looking for that bloody electronic POTFII snowspeeder...and there's a brand new Target exclusive one that is sooo tempting...

Because two full sized electronic toy Millennium Falcons are not enough! ;)

Just finished Beatles: Rock Band and was pleasantly surprised how much I actually enjoyed it. Slightly different timing scheme than RB2 though. Grrr.

Did you calibrate both of them?  Or did you mean something else?

It's calibrated properly, but I just noticed a slight difference between games. This probably carried over to RB3.

captainsolo's various LD conversion questions....
Time

Thanks for the help and suggestions guys.

FF-was this the player you used for your original Criterion Bond transfers?

My actual player is a CLD-D702, but it's back home and I didn't want to risk damaging it by shipping it several states. (and paying at least $30 in shipping)

The D504 was the best one I could get that actually worked. It's borrowed from someone who doesn't use it that much so I can't really do any modification work to it. I've started capturing with the analog enabled for a test. The analog and digital sound virtually the same going through RCA anyway.

My test disc is the 1989 series LBX You Only Live Twice.

Godfather time:
