I Don’t really see pot as a bad habit, unless it’s a problem of avoiding loved ones to do it or you can’t financially sustain it. It’s had nothing but positive benefits for me both physically and mentally. I’m more social, happier, my blood pressure is lower, my stomach is more settled. If you’re just worried about smoking (I’m not. If you buy really high quality stuff a decent puff or two at a time is really all you need and honestly what’s that going to do to you realistically. I’m talking real dank stuff) you could just vape it and basically eliminate all physical side effects.

Yah, I just use a dab pen and get very clear highs from it.

Actually haven’t been sober all weekend. And half the time at school.

I thought the old BFII had it set up so that you could play with OT or PT armies on any map (but not a mix), and you got the corresponding set of heroes depending on which era you were playing (i.e. Empire vs. Rebels on Kamino or Republic vs. Separatists on Hoth is fine, bout you couldn’t do Republic vs. Empire or Separatists vs. Rebels). Whether that’s how it used to be or not, that’s how I’d like it to be now.

You are exactly correct. Just checked out Battlefront 2 myself to make sure. Also had some good time destroying x-wings left and right in a space battle above Geonosis.

Ha!

I agree that is quite funny. It’s actually the same way I feel for a lot of Amnesiac and Kid A. There were some points when Radiohead got a little too “experimental” for my tastes.

Yeah, pretty much how I feel about those two albums, though Motion Picture Soundtrack was worth all the other weirdness. (Not that it isn’t a weird one in its own right, of course.)

Exact same mindset over here! Motion Picture Soundtrack is one of the most beautiful songs I think I have ever heard.

Someone on the Fanedit forums also mentioned the problem, and there are several places where it feels quiet. The first is Ben’s scene, where I had to crank up the volume to hear the additional music and the voices. Then it goes quiet after 3PO’s storytime, and I think it only returns as the fighters enter the superstructure.

Hmm, interesting.

Everyone should also know that the free program “Megadownloader” bypasses the 5 GB limit quite easily. Just plug the mega link into the program, choose your download location, and your on your way!

According to this, you now have to use a VPN to get around the 5gb limit, and this works with the unofficial program Megadownloader and the official app MegaSync. Is this right?

Anyway, I just finished watching this edit, and it’s quite good!
There are some audio level issues, such as when it goes quiet at around the halfway mark and returns after Vader dies. Other than that, very nice!

Didn’t know that you had to use a VPN for such a thing. I am also very curious where you saw the audio specifically goes quiet so I can take a look. I have never been able to find evidence of such an error.

It would be nice to have a <5gb or multipart file option so that Mega would work.

Shouldn’t you just be able to use winzip, winrar or 7zip to split it up into multiple files? This might help also in producing a larger video file if darthrush has the ability to produce a higher quality one (having read earlier that the quality seems a bit lacking when compared to other edits)?

I replied to that review and made it clear that I encoded Harmy’s source work straight to a high-bitrate 1080p digital copy that looks great on the tv. I compared it to popular edits and it has much better video quality than the Dan Edit, the Spence Edit’s, the Ziggy edit, and equal/slightly better than Q2’s video quality. It’s not a full blu ray copy, but it has no problems in the technical visual specs.

I’m glad to announce version 4.4 of the project will be resumed!

For the special scene that Duracell is very excited for, I have been forced to make some adjustments because of many issues.

I now in the fashion of Adywan, have built a Vision costume, purchased a Wanda doll, and will get onto filming in the next few days. Samples will be posted in the morning!

Thank you for everyone’s continued support and enthusiasm.

Where will this be when finished?

I’ve gotta still paint the vision costume, mod my hose to shoot milk, and wait for the lifesize Wanda doll to finally ship to me. The lighting is already set, along with a very steamy sound fx library for the special scene added to Version 4.4.

Anyone else totally disregard Leia being Luke's sister?

I hate to say it, but Return of the Jedi plain sucks. Not as bad as the prequels but definitely a bad movie. The entire Jabba section feels like a separate movie, the Ewoks ruin endor, everyone besides Luke has almost nothing to do of any importance. The spunky, headstrong Leia and cocky, cool headed Han are nowhere to be seen in this film. Leia is weak as hell in the movie, and Harrison couldn’t be phoning it in any more.

The main reason it sucks though is that the only thing of any importance in this film is the confrontation with Luke, the Emperor and Vader. They tie up the haning plot threads left by the Empire Strikes Back in the first section of the film, then it completely departs into a whole new section where we get the Luke and Vader stuff, which is packed side by side with a ton of pointless filler.

Normally, one will painfully bear through most of the film (which is filler) and wait for throne room scenes which are the most important when looking at this movie as the final chapter of a trilogy. And even that stuff sucks.

Remastered made ROTJ pretty good!

I only feel like fanedits can fix some of the more minor issues with ROTJ but I appreciate it! 😃

In related news, was Darth Solo’s daughter among the victims?

And warb is the one we decided to temp ban? Holy hell guys I would be pissed off now too.

Warb most definitely was treated unfairly with the ban. Alderaan not taking a ban is just disgraceful.

I’d also like to say that TM2YC’s point is what I agree with most. Not a single american should have access to any gun that has the capability to do the awful damage that was done in Las Vegas. My heart and thoughts go to the people affected in the tragedy. Watching the videos of everyone on the floor and just hoping they don’t die as they hear rounds just snipe off, is just horrific. Sometimes the evil in the world just is so painful to see. All I know is that not any other country has this issue as much as us, and something needs to be done.
