You make a very good point about hyperdrives in Rebel starfighters. My only thought is that it giving the Rebel fighters a hyperdrive in the game would make the Rebels too powerful. You wouldn't have to make capital ships as much, just build a ton of fighters and send them off. It would put the Imperials at a very high disadvantage.

I had all four of my wisdom teeth out when I was still in high school. I opted to get knocked out for it. It was my first and only time "going under", and it was strange. They put the mask on you with the gas, and then inject you also. I remember just laying there and laughing for no reason, and all of a sudden I woke back up and was delirious. Moral of the story: if you have the option to go under, do it. I dont need to be awake as they yank and chip away at my teeth. For the record, it didnt hurt too much. I missed one day of work, and was back the next day. My mouth didnt really hurt, but you cant eat solid food for awhile. It wasnt too bad, so dont worry about it. Now back to movie talk. My friend is coming up to visit on Sunday, and we shall see Dark Knight then. All I know is that I am highly anticipating this movie, probably more than I did Iron Man and Hulk. I dont think Im going to be disappointed at all.

I was thinking of that, about the game being connected to the animated series. But they are already making the games for the animated series. I really wouldn't want Battlefront based around that...I like using my Stormies in the great battles from the OT.

That looks really neat. I didnt realize it was gonna delve into the beginnings of the Rebellion. I am really excited for this game.

HAHAHA!!! That is so true. Theres been battles where I would send a guy into the midst of a huge firefight, die within seconds, and respawn just to do it again! Some health you can carry around and use at will would be a great addition.

Like I said, Im not going for the gambling, but to visit some family. Both the misses sisters moved out there over the years. Ones husband works IT security or something to that affect at one of the casinos, and the other sister is going to school out there. But Im sure Im gonna have to check it out at least once. But Im not much of a gambling man, so I dont think I'll go overboard.

Thats a good point Tofu. I would like the ability to pick up weapons as you go. Though it makes the use of classes somewhat less significant. I guess maybe they would have other abilities other than weapons, maybe faster, more health, or some other environmental impact (maybe some kind of stealth ability or something). It would be cool to play as a Noghri commando for the Empire, and have him sneaking around with a knife or something.

That is quite a bit over the top. It reminds me of when I was at Sunday school, the year I was going for Communion. The priest came to each of the classes about two weeks before the ceremony and he showed us the wafers, so we knew what they were and how the ritual went. Then, because he made too many, some kids had to go up again and have a second, and do the ritual again, because he couldnt leave the room with the wafers after he blessed them (which he did in front of us). Catholics are big on the significance of the Eucharist.

I think he means the "vacation" holiday. As for me, we're not doing anything this year. We just moved, so its a bit tight right now. Sometime next year (during my spring break) we're planning on going to Las Vegas to visit the misses family.

Yeah, Ive always wanted to have a huge final battle over the Rebel base, but am always disappointed when I arrive to find nothing defending it.

So what do you think Battlefront III can do to distinguish it from the others? II added the idea of playing as "heroes" at certain times and what not, as well as new levels. What new levels could they possibly add? As for me, I have no ideas at the moment.

I prefer the console to PC.

Its been announced on amazon.com!!! See it here

I have to agree with SOCL as to the dangers of a local community college. They do not prepare you at all for college-related work. My three years at the community college (I got two degrees out of it) were all like 13th grade. Its horrible. I was in for a real shock my first semester at Oneonta, but I survived.

That is correct. Thats where I originally got it from.

I kind of felt the same way about us spamming this up. But we are staying on topic and whatnot. Alternative energy is a really good field to go into right now. The age of oil is over, and we should be making way for something else. So yeah, if I were you, I would inquire about that kind of course work when you take a tour of the campuses. I dont know much about Engineering and whatnot, but maybe some schools offer at least a course or two on researching and developing alternative fuels that would help you when you hit the job market after graduation.

Thats a very good idea. My first college experience was at the local community college, so I stayed home for quite some time before going away. What is your major again? Was it robotics or engineering?

I was pretty sure I had posted that phrase on here previously, and Tofu had known right off the bat what it was. Anywho, it is Trandoshan, taken from something that Bossk utters when onboard the Executer in ESB. I could not find the translation, but while searching for it I stumbled across this interesting site.

Just asking since its so far from your home. Also, it gets mighty cold in upstate NY.

Hmmm...one of the most important things probably is to inquire about your subject field. Maybe ask to talk to a student or professor from that department and make sure that their department will be suitable for you. For example, lets say went to college expecting to study Russian history. I'd want to talk to someone from there and make sure there is in fact an emphasis at the school on Russian history. Maybe talk to or e-mail a professor for a course syllabus for the more advanced courses. To me, thats one of the most important things. I mean, depending on your situation, tuition and location could also be a factor. When I decided to go back to school for history, I had three schools lined up. One ended up being way out of my price range. With the second one, I did not like their department as much. Their history program was very limited. The school I ended up going to had an awesome history department. There are professors there who major in Russian, Middle Eastern, African, Latin American, Ancient Empires and whatnot. The head of the department specialized in Canadian and British history. So yeah, to me the most important thing is to talk to someone and get a feel for what the program you're interested in is offering, and if you feel that it will be the best for you. Edit: Did you mean the Rochester Institute of Tech, which is located in NY???

I loved Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. I just got Snake Eater, but haven't gotten around to playing it yet.

Oh, it is the right galaxy. I think Tofu recalls which language that is.

I went to see the band Rush last night. I was very impressed with their performance. Ive been to at least 40 large-venue concerts so far, and this is the first band Ive seen live that started the performance on time, did not have an opening band, and played for 2 1/2 hours with only a 15 minute intermission. Mind you, this band is pretty old, so they are no spring chickens. I was just blown away at the energy and commitment they had to themselves and their fans. It was truly an awesome experience.

The only time I watch the Olympics is the winter ones, to watch ice hockey. Thats when the players from the NHL play for their respective teams. Its funny, because the U.S. team is horrible since there are not many good players who hail from here.
