I thought they made a version of Jedi Outcast for the Wii- or am I just crazy? Didn't Rob mention picking it up and enjoying using his saber to hack stormies to bits? I know I enjoyed it when I was just using a computer mouse, especially with saber realistic combat

How many people did you have at your place, Rob? We had five, got a twenty-pound bird, and have enough leftovers to make turkey sandwiches for the next eight or nine weeks (as it should be)! We had maybe four pounds of turkey trimmed off that bird by the time the meal was over, at most! Granted, we also had tons of sides, thus...

Read again, Eagle. It's essentially a handle for your Wii remote- like a new casing for your PC mouse, it does nothing more than look pretty.

Canadian Thanksgiving was a couple of weeks ago. The US version comes late, but it still has some bloody awesome turkey in it. Mmm... Food-induced coma... *Falls asleep drooling on the keyboard*

My tactic: Ship inside a ship. Essentially make a smaller ship, such as a Carrack (sp?) look like an older wreck of a ship, such as a transport, with minimum armament. The enemy, concentrating more on destroying a convoy than on totally eliminating the ship, thinks that they have destroyed the transport, or at least disabled it. However, after coming to the best position possible, the armor blows off and your Carrack is in a perfect ambushing position. Somewhat stolen from the Red Feathers idea in Wraith Squadron, just applied to a capital ship. Another tactic I like the idea of: Taking a number of interdictor cruisers with gravity well technology to a planet with an asteroid belt/field, and use the cruisers to alter the orbit of the rock. As the enemy ships leave planetary orbit to charge, they have to either take a roundabout path or sustain some hits from the falling rock. Then- double trouble! It's on a ballistic course toward the planet, and some of those chunks might not burn up in the atmosphere! An alternative to having them hit the planet is to simply place them in orbit around the planet- then, when the defending fleet has been defeated, these asteroids can be used to launch a devastating attack on the ground forces from anywhere around the planet with the generally lightly armed Interdictors. This is, obviously, more for hitting ground installations than anything else. I have more, but I can't remember them off the top of my head, save that one that I still say is a good idea- strap a hyperdrive to a large hulk of asteroid, launch it off toward an enemy ship, and watch the fireworks as it crashes into the SD at a couple hundred klicks per second. If memory serves, though, this was voted impossible for some reason.

Awesome looking stuff, all! Jeez, Def, you have too much skill in Paint. It isn't designed to be used to make good looking stuff, it's designed to make crap-tastic children's drawings!

That first one is hilarious! Well, crude as hell, obviously, but still funny! The second one is pretty amazing; I'm not positive that I believe 'em all, but they're still pretty amazing!

I've only ever seen parts of the first and third- the second was rather good, though.

Finished that bloody mission- it turns out that you don't have to destroy the stupid convoy- Doh! I was going by what the fish-head told me to do, not the objectives, for far too long... I've since transgressed to better missions, but unfortunately I died during that tour of duty and lost my rank of lieutenant... I liked seeing the bumps on my guy's uniform's shoulders... As for FoC: Yeah, huge dissapointment, there. Waste of money on my part, and no video game store will take used PC games any more... Grr...

... So I rediscovered X-wing for the second time today, partly because I remembered Mad telling me how splendid he thought it was. I do indeed love it- my new player is a Lieutenant with six missions under his belt and a medal or two for it- so far just Tour of Duty I. Did anyone ever manage to beat that annoying Tour of Duty IV mission where you're in a Y-wing and you have to identify and dissable to transports bearing slaves, destroy the rest of the convoy before it can jump/rendevous with a capital ship, and keep TIE Interceptors/fighters off the backs of the two rescue shuttles, all without any supporting fighters? It's maddening!

A) It should be "whose," just felt the strong urge to point that out and B) I get the feeling that you would be "released" from your new job rather quickly after the strikers came back. On the upside, however, you now have something pretty nice to tack onto your resume provided your a bit bland in description- I worked as a scriptwriter for Gray's Anatomy... For two weeks before the real writers came back.

Oh no, how horrible! ... *Runs off to muscle into the writing buisness while the networks all want new, undiscovered writers, hoping to get a position writing for something like Supernatural*

And now, a satire: Proposal to end the problems of: 1) Global warming 2) the energy crisis 3) overpopulation 4) illegal immigrants 5) obesity How often do you find yourself driving along, minding your own business in your Buick when, out of the black smoggy air, a band of morbidly obese illegal immigrants jump out in front of your car and force you to stop, during rush hour traffic in one hundred and twenty degree weather? The time has come for this to end, and now it can, with the all-new hybrid. “What?â€

Haha... I still have five long years before my hair all falls out and I get to be middle aged really quickly...

In Soviet Russia, Second Law of Thermodynamics violates you! ... Sorry, part of a very long argument involving whether or not the sun exists.... By the way: Have I mentioned that you royally creep me out on occasion, Rob? Like when you're dressed as Mario? Just thought you ought to know that. I've ranked it as one of the top ten scariest things I've ever seen.

... Right after post number 1500...

I love that last one, Def!

A) That sentence ought to have ended in a question mark. B) I don't have the spare time, and I don't care tremendously for the demos I find. I wish it would just give me an owner's manual that I could read through, or else some more advanced in-program tutorials! I learned how to play Rebellion off of just the manual, I ought to be able to learn to use 3DSMax if it would just provide me with one!

Proud to say that I've never touched a MMORPG that I had to pay money for. I wasted some time on Runescape (ugh) some time ago, but since then I wised up. The closest I will ever come again to a MMORPG is to play Elder Scrolls games.

Very nice stuff, guys. As Rob has said and I shall reiterate: I feel like an imbecile for not being able to do this.

I finally saw the trailer for Iron Man: Looks awesome, though I must say, he sounds distinctly like a Dalek (sp?) toward the end when he gives his name. The teaser for Dark Knight has me rather excited as well. Then there's this new miniseries that's coming out, the critically acclaimed Road Trip from Hell. Work has commenced on the actual miniseries; seven full episodes have been written, and all of the raw footage for the first episode has been shot. I originally planned to get everything filmed in advance and edited, then upload it in once-a-week increments once I'd finished, but the other two actors want it up as soon as possible, thus you may have to wait longer for some episodes than others- namely the final episode, which ought to require a lot of work. I'll upload the brand-spanking-new and far-funnier episode one that hurt me rather a lot during filming. Took us about eighty minutes worth of camera-time to film it, counting us screwing up.

I liked Vader in love! JH, your link refused to load for me. It might just be my internet being testy, though; it likes to not load sites some days...

Holy ****! That's impressive, Def!

Exactly. The pirates are divine in the eyes of the almighty FSM. Pastafarianism FTW! I voted for Pirates, seeing as I joined the Facebook Pirates vs. Ninjas fight as a pirate. I've had my head handed to me a few times by better ninjas than I am a pirate, but I still have semi-decent skills. Pirates have their own international day in which we all immitate them. Why? So that they can be sneaky and get the ninjas. Do ninjas have international pretend-to-be-a-ninja day? No. Ninjas do not have a day when they can slaughter as they please. I rest my case. The only known combination of pirates and ninjas.

Just got back from a HalloWiin party. Quite fun; DDR, Wii, Guitar Hero II, MarioCart... It was great. And to top it off- actually went trick-or-treating for the hell of it with some friends and got, like, five full-size candy bars. Score!
