Did you finish BioShock before dumping it?  I really liked that game and would be surprised if you didn't find it compelling.

Also, I have to recommend Halo Wars again.  I really dug that game... though I understand it's not for everyone.

<long answer about how much I love BioShock>

...

Or, short answer: Yeah, I beat it before dumping it. It is a good game.

 Oh yeah, how soon I forgets.

I wonder if ImpFighter and I can page forwards and back now?

Yeah, I'm hoping to soon be old enough to not remember that song.

Judge,

In my first post here, I linked to several other discussions (current and otherwise) concerning rewrites of the prequels or original thoughts as to what they would be.  You will probably find a lot of like minded people/thoughts there...

Based on the level of support above, I'm happy to recommend to Jay that he should add the new forum. All we need now is an agreed title and description for the new section.

 Thanks, Moth3r!

How long, do you suppose, does it take the Millennium Falcon to get to Alderaan from Tatooine?  Is it hours/days/or week(s)?

I always kind of assumed hours, but I'm also wondering how long Princess Leia is on the Death Star...  She's captured the same day that the droids rocket down to Tatooine.  Luke buys them the next day, and it's the day after that that he meets Ben.  Maybe a day for them to get to Mos Eisley and hire Han.  Depending on how long it takes them to get to the Death Star and rescue Leia... she's been there for a couple days?  I always felt like she was there longer than a week, but I guess I could buy 3 days.

Script Writing And Re-Writing gets my vote.

The Ric Olie Memorial Forum. does not.

It's not your thread, necessarily... but it does seem to be your forum.  The illegal aliens even hang out at the corner of Frink and xhonzi.

Why can't it be both gross and awesome?

Black Dynamite.

Okay, I didn't actually watch this movie... but I did watch the trailer several times and laughed and laughed and laughed.

So this guy gets to play videogames all day while everybody else pays his way and takes care of him?  Do you realize, EyeShotFirst, that this guy is like a god to me?

that may be what happens in Frink's threads, but not here.

 I thought this was Frink's thread?

For the L4D fan.  Or perhaps the girlfriends, wives, or kids of the L4D fan.

But then I grew up with the 1982 CED/Videodisc release recorded to a VHS in LP mode. Where's my release?! ;-)

 I thought you were remaking this version?  http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/A-New-Hope-ReVHSed-Pan-Scan-of-Adywans-Revisited/topic/11434/

Also, in regards to the letter a week campaign:
I'm with you, too! </luke>

If you were an 11 year old boy in 1983 and got cast in Return of the Jedi, wouldn't you want to visit as many sets as you were allowed to?

 As many sets as you could... especially the ones where Princess Leia is in a brass bikini and hugs you?

Got it.

I don't fast-forward any of it... but I did enjoy your jokes about FF'ing the prequels.  I just 'skip' them altogether.

^Agree.

This is one of my favourite subjects, therefore I have started and otherwise participated in several threads on the subject.  It may be in your best interest to try to track those down.  I can dig some up, if you'd like.

Anyways, I know at least one other forum member here (whom I won't out, but he is free to identify himself) has a rather serious SW fan for a wife...

That's me. I wouldn't say my wife is "rather serious",

Oh yeah?  I offer the following as proof!

she was watching "Empire of Dreams" on her iBook and we quote Star Wars to each other (mostly TPM because its so awful).

A lot of fans haven't watched Empire of Dreams.  Don't kid yourself, if she was watching it and there wasn't a guy there making her do it, then she's 'rather serious'.  For a girl, anyways.

I guess none and I had different understandings of what was meant by "Invasion of Naboo".

I at least think I got the events (mostly?) in order, though I'm sure my times are mostly way off.  I don't think I would have done as well (?) as I did, except that I did watch RLM's review several times in recent months.  I haven't seen TPM since 2005 when I "forced" myself to watch it before RotS.

To be clear: both Moth3r and Jay said they were mostly fine with this idea... (loosely quoted) they just wanted to make sure other people had an interest before wasting their time creating a new forum (also losely quoted).

In absense of a new episode last night, I started writing my Pilot Episode to submit to ABC for a Lost spinoff show entitled:

<spoiler space>

Vincent Alpo: Agent of DHARMA.  It's animated Saturday morning show basically about the dog who doesn't age (Vincent Alpo) and his undercover life as an Agent of DHARMA.  He goes to the island to accomplish hidden DHARMA objectives, and runs into his old colleague EZRA JAMES SHARKINGTON.  Ezra and Vincent used to both be Agents of DHARMA, but DHARMA tried to burn Ezra and he turned his back on the agency and everything it stood for.  Now he tries to foil their plans and turn Vincent to his side to fight against DHARMA.

Hopefully airing this fall on ABC.

Did you finish BioShock before dumping it?  I really liked that game and would be surprised if you didn't find it compelling.

Isn't it?  ;)

In this cicrumstance, you're right... a phone call would help and it is very low risk.  I was mostly thinking of more direct ways of helping people- I pass people on the side of the road all of the time wondering if they probably need help.  I stop from time to time and some people are thankful because they need help, some people are thankful though they don't need help, and some people are annoyed because they don't need help.
