I don't recall ever being captured by bandits and being given a blood transfusion by force as a means of execution in Minecraft. =P

True story by the way, luckily it just so happened that I was compatible with the blood and survived. They were very disappointed and ended up leaving with all of my stuff and spared me. That was in the first 20 minutes of ever having played.

Well yeah. But that requires running into other people. Which we deliberately tried to do last night and failed completely. The main game is staying alive, which isn't the game I want to play. I need goals.

But my wife and friends like it, so I'll keep playing with them.

Has anyone else played DayZ? My wife and our friends seem to enjoy it. I still can't get past it being all the things I don't like about Minecraft.

We ask that you own the release the edit is mainly sourced from. In this case, the Blu-rays. Alternatively, the digital copy that comes out Friday will do the trick.

Oh, you're asking if you need to own the Prequels. Not for the original trilogy edits, no.

If you can fix any of those "plot holes" and still make the movie make sense, then you go right ahead.

To me, there is very big news here. They are including Episode IV which is supposed to be owned by Fox. This means they worked out a deal with them to be able to distribute the complete set. This means we might actually see the originals released and the fact that Fox owns a portion won't be a show stopper.

Fox doesn't own Star Wars, they're just the only ones who can distribute this. However, you are correct in that it does show that Disney/LFL has worked something out.

This being pushed out this week gives me hope. Digital copies of the existing Blu's are no big deal, and Disney/LFL apparently knows this. So if they were going to announce something at Celebration, it won't be a giant countdown to who cares, because it's already out.

I do try to keep the Wordpress up to date.

There will be several official versions released:

Blu-Ray 720p BD-25
DL DVD PAL
DL DVD NTSC
720p mkv
Special features DVD-5 (only needed for mkv & DVD version as all these will feature on the Blu-Ray)

Personally, I bought an external Blu-Ray burner for $80 at Best Buy, which means I'm sure you could get one cheaper.

I think #1 works great. I also like the idea of his voice modulator being broken at first. Like that stupid Techno Union guy from Ep2.

These SW comics are my first foray into actually having a subscription to comics on Comixology. Man, are these schedules crazy. Vader #4 comes out Wednesday, Vader #3 was like two weeks ago, and Ongoing is nowhere to be seen.

Apparently this is a thing everyone deals with in comics. It's just weird to me.

Sorry, what I stated regarding Ghostbusters and the sequel is verifiable fact.

I've looked into your theories and have done a large amount of research myself and It all checks out-
Ghostbusters 2 was a disappointing piece of crap in 1989 and it smells even worse now.

This has gone too far without the definitive proofs of GB2's badness:

Our Very Own GafferTape's dissection

We Hate Movies' revelations

My friend went to a Q&A with Paul Feig the other day, he said his Ghostbusters is a reboot because Sony tried to get him to do a sequel for about a year, but all the scripts were about the GBs having fallen on hard times, which he thought was stupid since they'd be heroes. Which means that Paul Feig understands more than the original writers did when they wrote Ghostbusters 2 a handful of years after the original.

Shadows of the Empire was in the bottom 3 EU books I read. None of it sat right with me. That may have been the moment when I finally was like "If this had just happened, they'd have still been talking about it in the next movie!"

He definition-ed 1 Vader, he didn't definition 3 and especially not definition 2.

1. be deprived of (a close relative or friend) through their death or as a result of the breaking off of a relationship.
2. become unable to find (something or someone).
3. fail to win (a game or contest).

I didn't know "originatrilogy" = "nothingbuttheoriginaltrilogy". ;-(

I know what you're saying, but I will always think is strange when people come here and ask if most of us would prefer a character from the original trilogy or something I've never heard of.

That "shooting Greedo" could be a running gag, randomly when Han shoots at something off screen through the entire trilogy, just cut back to Greedo exploding.

Your rental place didn't check it first? That's pretty shitty. I love my Family Video.

I wasn't sure Blu-rays could get scratched. I imagine that the peanut butter thing would still work to fill in the gap. Couldn't make it worse.

I'm lucky enough to have a functioning video rental store in my town with a disc resurfacer. As far as I can tell, they don't use different machines for Blu's, so you should be fine with whatever remedy you go with.

1. You can't know he actually owns the domain without proof.
2. If you put anything in that domain, Disney will more than likely blast it out of existence and take the domain by force.

So, no, it's not.

Wait, is Bruce Wayne in that thing like Iron Man? I don't see how someone the same size or smaller than Superman would be able to bend any of those joints in the suit.

Looks like they're clearly labelled as Director's Edition and not.
