So I looked up one little 5 min review of a Google Chromebook on Youtube because I was mildly interested. After said video I knew I did not want. Now Google chromebook reviews are infesting my Youtube recommended videos like a damn virus! Get away! Go! Shoosh I don't want you!!!
Chromebooks are good for a second computer if you don't like tablets. My Cr-48 is pretty speedy, but this new generation would be extra nice, much faster. And they have the new version of the OS, they haven't rolled that down to the 48s yet.

As someone said (don't remember who), you can conceive of part 1 as a low-budget grindhouse flick that enjoys unexpected success, leading to a higher budget and mainstream distribution for the sequel.
That was me. :) And after some thought, I could see part 2 as a critical success but financial flop, hence the (SPOILER * SPOILER * SPOILER-ish...) cliffhanger ending that will likely go unresolved.
I absolutely love thinking like this. Maybe another director, inspired by the movies his whole life, recasts the roles and makes his vision for part 3?

Do the current covers for these edits follow this alternate universe line of thinking? Don't mention "Star Wars" or that it's a fan edit, but that someone has tried to preserve these lost movies, etc.

Video Games - a general discussion thread

Been playing Halo Anniversary with the Mrs. It looks great and plays like the original, but man, the level designs are so repetitive. I know you went through the , now go through it backwards.

The big problem is that co-op doesn't have any permanent checkpoints. Once you start the level, you can't quit unless you want to start it all over again. On Legendary, that sucks.
