I'm amazed that my school hasn't managed to collapse in on itself with stupidity and egos as large as they are. Heck, we just had a branch of Fox News at our school because we'd apparently been nominated as a "Cool School." I thought for sure that the increased levels of stupidity brought about by Fox in cahoots with some of the idiots who attend would be enough to bring about a government order to nuke the sight for the greater good, but somehow it wasn't. Er, right- Star Wars Tactics Here's a tactic for use in X-wing: The next time we have super-dooper important plans, let's stick a Mon Cal Cruiser or two on guard duty along with something north of three starfighters? Huh? Maybe? Just a thought, guys.

All that I know about the Borg is this: Their speaker's name is a participle in Latin. Participles are evil. Therefor the Borg are evil... and they suck, because participles are a bitch to remember, and I keep getting the present and active cases mixed up, as well as the present, imperfect, and perfect tenses.

I watched Citizen Kane today. It wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. Rather, I was struck with similar feelings to those I experienced while reading Romeo and Juliet; the plot contains great ideas and great potential, but the execution just doesn't work for me, and I'm left feeling this great ability for the work, followed by a letdown when I see how the producers didn't do it the way I would have... Or when a really old movie like Citizen Kane has sound quality so poor you can't hear the people speaking unless you pump the volume up to ludicrous level. It also probably doesn't help that I knew what Rosebud was thanks to it being one of the top one hundred most memorable movie quotes.

The all-time low so far this December has been: 68 degrees. Welcome to Florida, ladies and gentlemen; the coldest I think we ever got was down to the forties (Farenheit. Normally I'm a proponent of the metric system, but I can't be bothered to perform the conversions right now.)

Sounds similar to the Aleph from Legacy of the Force.

Do the DVDs compromise or comprise the next season? There's something of a massive difference between the two.

What is it with you and quantum physics, J? That super suit is rather impressive- though I must say, I'm amazed that there isn't any mention of the Japanese beating us to it. Then again, they might just be busy building Star Destroyers right now, that's why they don't have super-powered infantry. (Joke. I'm not making racial stereotypes about the Japanese, don't worry) Edit: Some of the most Badass 3D work you ever saw This guy doesn't just give Mad and Krytos a run for their money; I think he actually wins!

I'm almost finished with the Classic X-Wing missions; I'm on the first mission to the surface of the Death Star, but I haven't managed to get the dang thing to work without contracting a bad case of what I like to call the "Herky-jerkies" on the old Windows 95 I've been playing on. Curse you, old nineties technology! I'm a Captain, though, and it looks like I'll get to keep the rank now that whenever I blow up I'm recovered. I'll actually try that first DS mission today, I guess... Any tips for blowing everything up?

Wait, it was on? When was this?! Gah! I missed it?! [Whiny-Vader[/i] N()()()()()()()()000000000OOOOOOOoooooo![/Whiny-Vader]

Episode two ought to cure that!

My all time favorite tactic ever is Operation Emperor's Spear from the second Enemy Lines book. I knew it was coming from the Wookiepedia article I'd read (I ruined the NJO for myself, and hated myself for it.) but the first time I saw what Wedge had done, I found myself yelling, "Oh my God! They killed the Lusankya! You bastards!" A brilliant strategy, though I don't see why more fighter resources weren't devoted to keeping the Skips off of the tails of all of those pilots, and there are the slight issues of how a series of manually controlled voids from Dovin Basals might have dragged it off course/absorbed its mass into a singularity, but then, Yuuzhan Vong black holes don't follow normal black hole rules, now do they?

http://tubularnets.ytmnd.com/ I usually don't check this thread, so forgive me if it's a repost- my connection is too slow to click as many links as pop up on a daily basis and still have time to do things like eat and do homework.

Yes, rather than go the "normal" or "easy" route of posting this in the Randomness thread, or claiming that it's art and sticking it in "You and Me and Art and Stuff," I've gone and created my own thread strictly for a video. Why? Because this thread isn't strictly for a video. It's for multiple videos; seven, in fact, in the series Road Trip from Hell, starring myself and some friends. You may remember an earlier incarnation of this; we had to get a new actor for one role due to time (and his awful acting) issues. Thus, you now have the new-and-improved Road Trip from Hell, with better acting, a full script, puns that work for almost everything, and a whole new, never-before-seen recurring character! I give you: (That's not really the name, but I thought it ought to be. Please comment and rate it so that we can all feel like we're having an impact on the internet.) Episodes two through seven will follow at irregular intervals, and no, the old episode two that I posted back in the Random Creative Writings thread will not be an episode in this new series of Road Trip- it was actually too random. That and Seven Eleven doesn't like us very much...

Or you can just claim that the TIE cockpits have been getting steadily larger over the years to accomodate better weaponry. Besides, why would you want to fly a DIE-Wing?

Cheap knock off of the John Williams soundtrack, anyone? Planning meeting for Star Crash "We need to rip off Star Wars, but we also need something they don't have." "Hmm... Breasts?" "Brilliant!"

*Whistles innocently* I may or may not have saved Jahled's gif of Maul with a santa hat on from a previous year... *Whistles some more*

I've yet to see that one. @Tofu: The only smoking I do is the stuff I can blow in people's faces in public while only being subject to a fine as mandated by a city ordinance. 'Twas a joke, mate.

If I ever developed the mad 3D skillz of Krytos and Mad, I'd totally make the X-wing novels into a 3D series, though I must admit, I'd have a hard time providing all of the voices, particularly the female ones... Lucas really should look to the EU for his cue, and just take the most popular novels (Bantam and Del Rey, respectively) and create the TV series. Granted, some stuff would have to be changed (We can't have Anakin shrieking "Blaster Bolts!" right before he dies, for instance) but it could still turn out rather well, I think.

Most impressive, Mister Krytos! Most folks don't manage to remain above average upon entering the University level- a C is the average for real now, and you can no longer coast to get an A (As my older siblings enjoy telling me with each passing year bringing me closer to the grim fate myself). Getting three highly distinguished grades and one distinguished ought to count as just that for you: Distinguished. My hat is off to you, sir! Here's hoping we'll see your name in the credits of one of the next animated movies to come out (Insist that they toss in a "Krytos" so that we can recognize you when we watch it. )

... AI, are you smoking something not even Mad would approve of, right now?

The same actor is in both of 'em- Wesley in Princess Bride, Robin of Loxley in Men in Tights. The song in there is recycled from History of the World Part I. Eerily enough, I saw that film the night before my World History exam in ninth grade and could finally remember that De Monet was the father of some form of French art. The irony in that it's so inaccurate had me chuckling as I took the exam. (It helped that the only difference between exam and test was that one counted for a grade and the other didn't). Anybody ever heard of a chick-flick called Where the Heart Lies about a pregnant team who gets abandoned at a Walmart and has her child there after three weeks of secretly living in the store? Very, very, very odd movie that's supposedly based on a true story. Stars Natalie Portman and a generic Women's Entertainment abusive father of the child.

I'm very excited about this! I've loved Futurama since, like, the first episode! Bender and Fry have to be some of the greatest cartoon comedians ever!

I vaguely want to see it after I've read the book, just to laugh at it. Sort of like the Demi Moore version of The Scarlet Letter...

*You'll be disappointed when you finish with it* KOTOR II had so much promise- moral issues that made you think, massive storylines, huge changes to them as you chose light or dark, with dozens of different ways for everything to play out- and then a crap-tastic ending on par with the end of The Sopranos. Tisk, tisk, tisk. On the upside, however, Team Gizka (The restoration project team) is down to just five bugs! They've decreased that number from five times that about... six months ago. Slowly but surely they are grinding toward the finish line!

The only issue with the thermo-nuke plan is that the enemy needs a reason to come close enough to it to allow damage to be done, and needs to have a very good reason not to blow it up, or the tactic won't work. Think Iron Fist tactics with the fuel tanker Kell and Donos blow up.
