Oh, and I had to learn this the HARD, HARD, EXTREME HARD, last-stage-of-battletoads-for-nes-HARD way. Had the same problem. In fact, if there is one thing I've learned about women is that, whatever the hell they want, it's not me. So since all of you out there are NOT me, you guys have a chance.

Star Wars becoming "mainstream" and "popular"

I too was there at the midnight show of ROTS with my club and we dressed up had fun, but the majority of the fans were Poser fans, just along for the ride, slumming it with the geeks. As soon as the credits started rolling, half the theater empties.


You've got to be kidding, this really happened? They emptied the place? Why? ROTS was not that bad...

Hey, yes it's very funny!
That's typically what I've done for years with my brother, it's such a fun thing to do.

I really love the sounds of the lightsabers in "ESB I'm not your father". Good job!


I loved the way Luke was all "woooo weee" when Vader started confronting him. "That's hot stuff!"

Oh dear, some of those symptoms sound like me. I can't for the life of me maintain eye contact for more than a few seconds in conversation, and my social skills are relatively lacking.


Yeah, but you *can* maintain eye contact for a few seconds or less. A lot of people from a lot of cultures are uncomfortable with eye contact, so that symptom alone doesn't mean you have Asperger's. As for lack of social skills, the fact that you said 'relatively' means that you have enough of an understanding of social skills to be able to measure yours against someone else's. Most Asperger's people (if not all, I would say) have such an impairment when it comes to social interaction, that they wouldn't even be able to tell, let alone compare their social skills with other people's.

I hope that reassures you a bit.


Oh! Thanks.


Exactly, now, one thing is having social dificulties, which, to be honest, most people have. And one other thing is having an authistic spectrum disorder such as Asperger's. But it dosen't mean that, you know, any of those things are negatives, I don't view myself as someone sick or someone who has a disability, no.

That sounded funny, Sean, sorry.
After reading here I was afraid I might have it, but I don't fit enough of the criteria. It could be fun to tell people, "I have Aspergers Syndrome". They'd go, "No!...What is that?" maybe.



I've come to the conclusion that it's not necessary to tell people about it. Odds are they won't know or care about it, and if you go to the trouble of explaining, they'll think you're some sort of freak. So I only tell people if asked.

Do you mean that seriously or are you just messing with me?

I've been diagnosed as having Aspergers Syndrome myself. It sucks. Did I mention I hate Aspergers Syndrome?


I am an aspie myself too. I've created a topic about it some time ago, more than an year ago I belive. It's a curse and a blessing at the same time...

LOL, Hello Kitty. Poor fellas.

there's always the chance of Senna getting back from the dead anyway. Meanwhile, Schumaker is still celebrating that night in 1994 in which he sabotaged and took away a few pieces and parts from that Williams car... 12 years later, it finally paid off to that german kid...

Yeah I'm going to hell for it I know

You are probably the first north american I've ever SEEN who even KNOWS what Formula 1 is.

How Star Wars names are translated in non-english countries...

A little off-topic, but I read in EW recently that either "Keyser" or "Soze" (I can't remember which specifically) translated to "Verbal" in Turkish. Brilliant.


Yet another plot twist ruined. Although that was one crappy flick.

And, actually... no:

"Originally, Keyser Soze was supposed to have the name Keyser Sume, named after Christopher McQuarrie's old boss. He allowed his old boss to read the script, and decided he did not want to be associated with an inherently evil villain, so requested a change be made."
