DANG IT!  STOP TRYING TO MAKE THIS THREAD ABOUT THE CLONE WARS: SEASON II!

Go start your own thread!

DANG IT!

I played through halo wars on the "normal" difficulty and thought it was a little too short.  I really liked it- I had just wished it was longer.  I decided I couldn't recommend people spend more than $20, but if they could find it for cheaper to jump on it.  At any rate, I started playing it on "Legendary" for the achievement and it's really kicking my trash.  It's forced me to dig much deeper and be much more strategic.  I'm about half way through and I've been winning by the skin of my teeth.  I've decided this is the way to play it- play through once semi-quickly to learn it & enjoy the story.  Play through again on the harder difficulty to get a real challenge.  And, like StarCraft, you should theoretically play 50x as much online as you do the campaign.

There were a couple times in my first playthrough that I found myself fighting the controls instead of the Covenant... but I think I'm totally past that now.

I'm also sort of playing Star Wars: Empire At War on my laptop.  I find that game to be harder to control with a mouse and keyboard than I find Halo Wars.

Anyone stoked about the Freddie pack on Rock Band tomorrow?

Here's a link. 

Also Too Human for $15.

Some good deals at Gamefly this week on used games.  Halo Wars is definitely worth $15 if you're either a Halo fan or an RTS fan.  Don't know that I would recommend it otherwise.  Some other good titles.  I've ordered used from them and they're always fast and quality.

Your girl?  So there's more to this story?

2. Yes.  Stormtroopers where everywhere.  If the rebels split up and were hiding on, oh say, levels five and six, the stormtroopers could report it in. 

 Are you suggesting that Death Star era clones may actually be a clone of a different, observationaly skilled, and considerably more handsome Prequel Character?

Man, it looks like I KILLED this thread.

On that we can agree.

I don't know... do you think the U.S. and the C.S. would have been able to affect WWI and WWII the same way?  I have an inkling that the U.S. wouldn't be here at all if the South had won the Civil War.

I wanted to do some simple branching on a DVD I was working on.  All of my google searches turned up this answer: You, xhonzi, can't do it.  Or, rather, you can for $100,000.

Um... how hard can it be?  Has someone here figured it out?

We see Luke block the lasers of the training droid.  That's not a blaster, per se, but I think it shows that the intention was more or less there all along.

But back to your question... wait... what was your question?

Zat is vhy you can't be sinkink in front of zhe camera?

I was *****ed by the Presbyterian Chruch.

Ahhh..... post-Modernism.

All your heroes suck.

"only a sith deals in absolutes"- Obi wan Kenobi

I actually don't mind this line. Makes sense that in someone's anger they might only see black and white. Of course, it would have gone better in a different context.

But it's sort of a joke.  "ONLY a Sith deals in ABSOLUTES"  Is Obi-Wan a Sith then?  (We're discussing this in the Politics thread right now!)

Let me break it down for you: If he said, "Usually, or at an overwhelming percentage, a one dealing in absolutes is a Sith, but occaisonally he is a Jedi instead." Then the line would be fine.  But since he uses the absolutist language of "Only a Sith..." he was, himself, dealing in absolutes.

He is nothing good in big elephant.

The only way Luke on a speeder bike would make sense is if he and Obi-Wan have their conversation in Ben's hut.  Then from there have him ride a speeder bike across Tatooine.  With a lot of editing, that could be an ok possibilty.

 

But I would rather have a pretty CG scene of Luke flying in and across Tatooine.  Like Obi-Wan and Grevious did on Utapau in ROTS.  That would be much easier to do and alot more realistic.

 I realize I'm too late for this... but here-a-goes:

Why can't we just see Luke fit some kind of speeder-bike leather seat to R2-D2's dome and then show R2's repulsor jets fly him to Jabba's Palace?  Surely while he was looking for a place to stash his sabre, he would have noticed the jets!

And I know what you're thinking... Luke arrives much later than the droids.  So you would have to add Luke hiding in the shadows when the droids make their approach.  Maybe have his hand covering his mouth to stifle a giggle while he is hiding.

This is supposed to sarcastic, by the way.  But still- I can't get the image of Luke using R2-D2 as a make shift speeder out of my head.  Why have an X-Wing when your astromech droid can FLY?

 

That wouldn't work - you didn't even give Luke a cowboy hat.

Sheesh.

 How would he fit a cowboy hat under his helmet?

Oh, and if someone could mock-up Luke flying on Artoo, my imagination would appreciate it.

"Blah!"?  Are you suffering from some sort of Transylvanian Vampirism?

Bowie in Space.

Get me one too!

I do?  what for?

 I'm sure it's just your faulty memory playing tricks on you again.  It's fine, don't sweat it.

So... did you want to send me a check... or what are we doing here?

It looks like a nice book.  It's been OOP at the publisher, although it does appear that you can order it from them today.  I'd love to own a copy, but it's a little out of my price range at the moment.

Are you two timing me?
