Party Monster. You will all watch it. NOW!!!

Another movie I am looking forward to: Repo: The Genetic Opera

For the longest time, I was a chicken pecker. In other words, I had to look around at the keyboard to find the keys I wanted to hit. But these days I stare at the screen most of the time, but my rate of typing is rather slow most of the time. But I am getting better for not being able to use the so-called 'home row' of keys.

If you have never read the book, I Am Legend was an alright movie. For those that HAVE read the book though, the movie was an insult. Granted, Smith is an awesome actor, and this was one of his best roles by far, but I had a hard time believing him as Neville. Also, the ending was 100% different from the book, which ruined it for me entirely. And yes, the CGI 'vampires' were very corny. National Treasure: Book of Secrets was a very good movie. MUCH like the first, when you first read about it you think 'thats kinda stupid, there is no way in hell that they can do that', or 'thats the dumbest plot connection ever'. But once you watch the movie, it somehow all makes sense and leaves you wanting more. Sweeney Todd is made of 100% WIN, as there is no role in existance that Depp cannot pull off. It is also far far better than the original. Batman: Dark Knight will be an awesome movie, as both Ledger and Bale are perfect for their roles. Also, the writers drive the overall point of the joker home, he is not some idiotic semi-romantic villian who relies on henchmen. He is a loner, a sadistic killer, and far far more intelligent than any movie/cartoon to date makes him seem. Movies I am not looking forward to: John Rambo - The first movie was alright, the rest sucked. The final Rocky movie was a perfect ending to the character, but unless Rambo gets killed in this one, it just won't seem right. Indiana Jones and the whateveritis - Sorry, but I have a feeling they will be screwing this one up pretty bad. The first movies were all set in WWII, so unless they set this one during Vietnam/Korea, Ford will have a hard time pulling off Jones once more. Alien vs. Predator: Requiem - The entire point of the movie is the predators hunting the Predator/Alien hybrid born at the end of AVP in a anything goes, no holds barred, screw fighting in the shadows brawl in (I believe) Los Angeles. It shows the predators as being desperate to kill their target, which to me seems dumb. The Predators are far far to honorable to toss away the rules of the hunt like that. Also, if they were so desperate to stop it, they could just bombard the planet, as they have done so before to stop the aliens.

It saddens me greatly to hear about his passing. Paul and I talked a lot, and I considered him a good freind. We was very pleasent, and seemed to take all of his problems in stride. I will miss talking to him, as will many others. By prayers go out to his family and friends.

I always did hate the K-wing, and I always will. For how much bang it has, to me it always just seemed to be a giant moving "SHOOT ME DOWN" kinda target. You can get more bang for your buck out of an E-wing anyways.

Is God all-powerful but unable to stop evil? Then God is not omnipotent. Is God all-powerful but not willing to stop evil? Then God is malevolent. Is God all-powerful and all-good? Then whence enter evil? Is God weak and unable to stop evil? Then why call him God?

1) Its not a popular item. 2) Xbox Live comes with a Mute button for players, simple and easy to do. 3) Why hate Xbox? Its not like Sony has done anything spectacular in the past year. Except lose money hand over fist on a system that is still being outsold by the PS2. And the Wii. And the 360. Ect ect ect....

The ZX Spectrum? Never even heard of that one. I always got home to play my 2600 or the ancient Intellivision that my sister pawned several years ago for whatever reason.

Nah. Most of them are actually stored away right now. Only the 360, the PS3, and the Atari 2600 are out to be used.

A list of MMORPGs I have played: Dark Ages of Camelot Anarchy Online Eve Online Runescape Matrix online Planetside World of Warcraft (My current addicton) Guild Wars Phantasy Star Online Closed Beta testing I have done: World of Warcraft Matrix Online Wish Pirates of the Burnign Sand Conan Warhammer (this gime will kick ass) Video Game Systems I own: Xbox 360 Xbox PS3 PS2 PSX Sega Dreamcast Sega Saturn Sega Genesis Sega MAster System Gamecube N64 Super Nintendo Nintendo 8bit Atari Jaguar Atari 7600 Atari 2600 Gameboy Sega Nomad Yep, I think I classify as a gamer.

I remember the movie the secondone is from, but not hte name. A little help here?

Please don't tell me I am the only one wishing beyond all hope for a X-wing series of some sort?

Yah, its a wierd one. Working on one now thats just... bad. Edit: Here it is. I am so going to hell for this.

First off, I do not like Putin. He seems like a cretin to me. So don't get me wrong, I think he should be removed from power before he does anything stupid. However, I think it's good that Russia is willing to show the world that "Hey, we still have an military you know." Ever since the fall of their last government, the russian military had fallen into quite the state of disrepair. Their navy sat in drydock the greater majority of the time, and from what I understand, their Air Force was in pretty rough shape. Some of their bombers are still the old Prop-planes, which doesn't say much. But these days, with the spike in oil prices, Russia finally has the cash it has lacked to begin flexing what little muscle it still has left. The newest versions of the MiG fighter, while not up to taking down a F-22, is still an impressive piece of hardware. And with their current modernization of the Tu-160, their Air Force will be up to tackling quite the opponent with 5 years. (In all reality, I know little about their Navy or Army. I hear mixed reports ranging from 'laughingstock' to 'quasi-reliable' on both depending on who you ask. Someone else can talk about that.) Anyways.... I highly doubt Russia is doing any of this to make themselves look aggressive. More than likely, they are just trying to show the world that they do still have a military, and that they are still a world power. Don't look for them to pick a fight any time soon, but watch for them to flex their muscle in world events a bit more. Thats it from me. Back to lurking.

My MSN is on my profile. Has been for a long time. I see how much I am loved. /cry

While still currently playing WoW like it owns my soul, I have once again been reminded of how awesome the simpler times were. Virtua Racing on the Sega, Pitfall on my Atari. Duckhunt on my NES, and Beavis and Butthead on my SNES. Ahhhh, the purity of those games is refreshing.

Actually, I good rebellion game takes months to win. Hardest difficulty, largest galaxy, and let the computer win for a while. You can get into some nasty stalemate games doing that. My current game is on day 4109, and I am locked in a brutal fight for the Corellian sector, as planets there just get passed back and forth.

That wasn't cheating, that was exploitation. There is a difference. Either way, I can catch up to you if I want. I just prefer to remain quiet, and post when I have something to say. And with that, back to lurking.

"Corran, two from abo-" was all he heard before a cream echoed across the comm channel. Corran winced a bit as he threw his fighter into a tight upward spiral, knowing well that another member of Rogue squadron had fallen. But now was not the time to worry, now was the time to fight. He climbed for a fraction of a second, and then sent his X-wing into a steep dive. As he did so, he looked up, and saw the quickly vanishing tails of a bair of Tie-Sabres. They looked like they were gunning for a squad of A-wings, but Corran knew the A-wings could handle themselves. He had more important things to worry about now. "Lead, this is five. I'm all alone out here." he said, and for a moment all he heard was silence. But then Wedge returned his call, and corran heaved a sigh of relief. "Five, had back towards the Highwind, we are regrouping there with a few pilots from High Flight. General wants us to take a crack at that Imp Star thats being lazy." Wedge said, and Corran looked out into the thickest part of the battle. General Solos' force had jumped close to imperial space and landed on top of a small Imperial task force. They had decided to take it, but as they had enganged another pair of Vic Stars had arrived, evening out the fight. But int he back sat a Imp Star Duece, not firing its guns. Corran wondered about that, but then shook his head. "Lead, something about that one botheres me. You sure thats a good idea?" Corran asked, but before Wedge could answer a younger, huskier voice came over the comm. "Five, grow a pair would ya? Ever since Cadomai you have been acting like a scared womprat." the voice said, adn Corran gritted his teeth. Teh voice had belonged to Everith C'pan, a daredevil pilot who was quicker with his mouth than his guns. But he knew he was right. Rogue squadron had suffered at Cadomai, losing half their numbers, including Tycho. And ever since, He had ben edgy. "Shut it ten. When this is done, consider yourself relieved of duty." Wedge said, and Corran sighed. He pulled up along the rest of the squadron, and winced. Between Rogue and High Flight, there were only sixteen fighters. Meaning two full flights were gone. And by the look of it, most of the rogues were here. High Flight woudl be disbanded after this, for certain. "Lead, this is Five. I am with ya. Who else is joining us?" Corran asked, and he then saw them. A full squadron of massive K-wing bombers was also hovering near the engines of the half-crippled Escort Frigate they wear hiding next to. "Five, this is Thunder lead. You clear a path, we light'em up. That work for you?" came a voice, and Corran smiled. "Wes, its good to hear from ya. Finally upgraded from those Y-wings?" Corran asked, and he turned again to look for Wes' fighter. He had No idea really which one was Wes, but all he needed to know was that Wes was still otu there. The Rogues had lost to many as of late, and he knew that soon many older hands would be brought back in. "Yep. K-wings are slow, but they pack a whallop. Thunders, move out!" Wes yelled, and like a flash, the K-wings roared past the X-wings to make their move towards the main line. Corran watched as the X-wings moved along with them, and he goosed his own engines, quickly watching up and passing the K-wings. As one, the group of fighters rolled towards the main line of battle, and headed towards the sleeping Destoryer. **********************************************************8 "Admiral, a small group of fighters has borken off. They appear to be heading towards us." came the call from the sensor pits, and Pellaeon nodded. His flagship, the elderly Corruption had been undergoing a cold start when the battle had begun. And until now, he had been forced to stay out of the fight. But now, he thought that maybe it had been a blessing. "Hold all fire until they are well within range. Have our gunners target manually. Fire at point-blank. Lets see if we can make them hurt." he said, andhe smiled. He was beginning to enjoy this. The New Republic forces were starting to get careless. Days, of not weeks, of constant fighting was causign them to take uneeded risks to try and weaken Imperial forces. And it was costing them dearly. perhaps today woudl be one of those days. He watched carefully as the group of fighters flew between two of his own destroyers, a safe zone for them. His vessels did not dare fire there, lest they risk hitting each other. But at the same time, it forced the republic pilots to fly without room to escape. "Gunnery masters, fire at will." *********************************************************** "This is five, pull out!" Corran yelled suddenly, and Wedge immediatly yanked up on his stick. "Break break break!" Wedge echoed, and he wacthed as the battle swriled around him. But as he did so, he saw turbolaser blasts flash past his screen, and he realised what had happened. The destroyer had been lying in wait for such a manuver. And he had almsot flow right into it. He was getting careless. As he pulled about, he checked his boards. Where there had once been ten blips, there were now nine. Rogue ten was gone. "Lead, they got Ten. And the THunders took a beating." came a voice, and Wedge nodded, recognizing the voice of Myn Donos, an old hand in the Rogues. "How many did Thunder lose?" he asked, and the voice of Wes Janson came back quickly. "They got half of us Wedge. But we dumped everything we had into one of the destoryers anyways. I think we got a few through." he said, adn Wedge nodded. At least it wasn't a compelte loss. But it was still a waste overall. "Wedge, this is Five. Recommend we-" Corran started to say, but he never finsihed. Wedge looked down to the baord, and saw the light for Rogue Five wink out. Wedge lookd up slowly, and then heard a voice come back. "Wedge, Corran is EV. He took an ion hit and bailed." the voice said, but before Wedge could repsond, Han Solo came over the comm system, his voice full on not only anger, but of defeat. "All forces, pull out. Head back to the launch point." he said, adn Wedge closed his eyes. They were retreating once again. And once again, the Rogues would be leaving people behind. Tycho had crashed at Cadomai, Gavin had never made it out of that system as well. And now Corran was gone. The Rogues were losing numbers faster then ever. "Alright guys, we're done. Lets get out of here." Wedge said, and he slapped his S-foils into a cruise postion. He gunned his engines, and he saw the rest of the rouges and thunders following him. Within minutes, they were once again in hyperspace. Once again in retreat.
