I wish everyone was in costumes, and not computer animated. That would have rocked. It might not have been as flashy, but at least it would be better.

Ya, C'Boath is exactly like the Emperor, so that message should have come up when he returned.

Not for nothing, but Cloud City is freakin huge! I had no idea it towered that much over a ISD.

Has anyone ever read the series Riverworld? I was looking at it on wikipedia and it sounds interesting.

Well, we have a drive-thru near us, but it is really run down and nasty. And the next closest theatre is about 45 minutes away.

Thanks Evaders. That link did it. I just dont understand why it didn't work in the first place. I did what I always do. But I dont care. Hurrah for the Simpsons movie!!!!!!

The funny thing is that I had the game for the PC since it came out, but I never played it. Something was wrong where the game would freeze up at some point in the second or third level, and I never bothered getting it exchanged. Plus I wasn't crazy about the controls, since Im not a big fan of PC gaming, and prefer consoles...

I had a similar tradition with my parents in regards to the prequels and the Lord of the Rings trilogy. But its a hassle to get them to come out to the movies for anything else. My mom is upset that I am not willing to wait a month to see Harry Potter with her.

I highly recommend the job thing. I thought you were doing something with rafting/canoing this summer...

I like your thoughts on diplomacy. The Imperials always did generally rely more on force than diplomacy. Its a good idea to have it so that the Republic would have easy access to diplomacy and whatnot, while the Imperials relied on more direct tactics. A quick, easy to make troop regiment that would be used only as a troop place holder for subjected systems is a good idea. Make it have no attack, a low defense, and a low detection ranking and you're set. Its a good idea.

So I stopped by my EBgames store yesterday on my lunch break and snagged used copies of Rouge Squadron II: Rouge Leader and Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. I love that the Wii allows me to purchase cheap Gamecube games!

I can't see it yet. I just found out that on Wednesday morning the mall had a watermain break, and it leaked down into the movie theatres, which have been closed since. Im just hoping its all reopen by Monday.

Ive tried that! Its what I always do. I have my own Photobucket account. Edit: I just tried again, thinking the last time was a fluke. But it still doesn't work.

HAHA! Im just on crack.

I made a cool avatar, and linked it up, but now it just shows blankness. I then went and linked back to my other one, and now its blank too. HELP!!!!!!!!

Here is an article from Legacy of the Force, along with some screenshots and whatnot.

With work and all, I'll have to wait until Monday night to see Potter. Jerks.

What I find interesting is that that recording is from a site called blueharvest.net. Wasn't Blue Harvest the fake name they used when filming Return of the Jedi?

You took the words right out of my mouth J. I can't believe that the Pyramids were not on there. The Christ Redeemer definitely does not belong on there as opposed to others that were left out...

I'm guessing you can't/don't remember that. The thing is that that does not imply that this next round will be the final one. At the very end, after Roland is back to square one and he realizes he has to live it all over again, he begins to forget. Thus, within a few moments he would forget the warning, and would not do much differently. That's my thoughts.

More on the Dark Tower... Yeah, I remember him having a new artifact that he didn't start with the last time. But how do you know that because he has the horn that its gonna be the final adventure? And I seriously doubt anyone heeded King's warning. I mean, how can ANYONE read though that great series, get to the Tower, read his message, and be like "oh, I don't want to know what King intended to happen, I'll just make up my own ending"?

It sounds like a pretty neat game. Unfortunately, the only original piece of Star Wars memorabilia I own is a cheesy Chewie figure I found at a garage sale. Anything else I own was bought during the Special Edition and Prequel hype days...

While on the subject of randomness, I like Eagle's new avatar. Nicely done man.

As far as drunkenness goes, I think its just one of those stereotypes that survives to this day. Irish are drunks, French are gay, Italians are gangsters, British are stuck-up, Americans are lazy, Canadians are...weird... I can go on and on if I wanted to. It's just one of those things. As far as the Irish being hitmen, I dont know. However, I know a good portion of them immigrated to America, espicially during the Potato Famine, so I suppose that huge influx of a particular race at one specific time meant they had a hard time finding work. Perhaps some of them were forced to take hitmen-esque jobs due to having trouble finding other work. But as I said, I am just guessing, and am probably wrong...

The following is a synopsis of Stephen King's The Dark Tower. Thus, it includes mad spoilers on the final book of the great series. Read at your own risk. I, for one, was actually disappointed. I mean, I started reading the series a long time ago. The first Stephen King book I got was The Wastelands (my parents got it for me at a garage sale), so I had to go back and buy the previous books to go in order. After Wizard's Glass, there was this huge lull of years, and I had thought that King had given up on ever finishing Roland's tale. But I was so moved by the series that I gobbled up King's other works. So anyways, when Wolves of the Callah came out, I said "holy crud, he's back" and read it up. Shortly after, he released the last two. By this time I had of course re-read the entire series (in order to remember the story from oh so long ago), and I was sooo nervous reading The Dark Tower. I mean, I knew he was gonna get there. I just didn't know what was in store. I had several wild and crazy ideas. I was so excited I finished the book in 3-4 days or so. Anywho, I remember reading the chapter where he finally enters the Tower. He walks around and re-experiences his life. I was fine with that, it was cool and understandable that this oh-so-great Dark Tower would have the ability to replay his life before his eyes. Then, of course, he gets to the end, and is unceremoniously dumped outside, back to the beginning of the story. I couldn't believe that that was the ending that Roland had drawn for himself. I liked Susanna and Eddie's ending, how the three of them wound up chilling in the same dimension/reality. But I was deeply upset with Roland's lot in life. I mean, not for nothing, but this seven-story saga, spanning years and years and years in King's writing career (the first book was released in 1982- the year I was born, and the final book was just finished in 2004), ends up being a retelling of a story that has apparently happened over and over and over again, and will continue happening. So why does Roland suffer this fate? Is it because he lived such a horrible life, abusing everyone and anyone throughout his existence just to reach the Tower? Will he have to keep enduring this struggle until he wises up and realizes he has to get there without sacrificing the well-being of his friends? What do you think, Mitth?
