My strategy varies depending on which side I am. If I'm the Rebels I tend to build long probe Y-wings as soon as possible in my headquarters system and send them out to check all of the planets. I any of them are Imperial I'll immediately move to a new system and start making that one my headquarters. Sometimes I even head back to Yavin since the Imps almost never show up there. Go figure. I don't worry about fleets for very long and put most of my resources into building construction yards, mines, and refineries. Once I have plenty of maintenance points, I choose a planet with a large number of build spaces (Ten or more) and begin to build ships- mostly Dreadnoughts, Corvettes, and Carracks. Then I'll invade a lesser system, such as Sluis or Correlian. If I'm the Imps I immediately build up my squads of commandos to sabotage the Rebel ships that are sure to come. Palpy goes on recruiting missions, Vader goes up to my Coruscant fleet to act as admiral, and my shipyards start cranking out Carracks. I generally steer clear of TIEs, but I suppose that could just be because I love the X-wing books, where everyone gets six or more kills per fight and such. Generally it's just that first battle in the Sesswenna sector that I have to worry about. The winning fleet becomes my Coruscant fleet, which I supplement with newer ship models as they come out. Then I head off for the Correllian sector with my newer, nicer fleet.

Eh, three out of four- you'll do. Granted, when the game came out about a decade ago I didn't have the most basic of clues on how to play it, so I've only been an addict for about two years now (I've been on the forums for two years and two days, now! Woo!) and can't make the claims of returning to the game a decade later and still loving it. Welcome, Laz, we hope to see you about the forums.!

Where does Luke threaten people? I only recall he and Jacen drawing their lightsabers on a very few occassions. Granted, the books do next to nothing for the overall plot, but then again, how much did the Dark Tide duology or the Enemy Lines duology do for the overall plot? Not too much, in the end.

Granted: Disney aquires it almost instantly and turns it into a giant Little Mermaid-based themepark, giving you no rights, and suing you for the land rather than paying for it. I wish I had an angel for one moment of love. I wish I had your angel, your Virgin Mary Undone. (Those who know the song should be laughing right now. The rest of you should be going "WTF?")

Granted, but you ask for it with dyslexia, and so are given a Long Island Iced Eat. I wish we were in a time vortex where giant ants rule the world and ride on gigantic armadillos.

Granted- but you can't speed it back up again. I wish I controlled time!

Hey- I resent the use of the word "healthy." It implies that other people should be doing this and robbing me of my title.... Damn- I missed my two year anniversary... Do I at least get a cake for two years of posts? Edit:

So far I've played one quick skirmish battle with LOTOR II: The Witch King, and the first level of the campaign. This is a very fun RTS, indeed! I'm enjoying the new hero units, and very much enjoying being able to build your own heros, though I kind of wish you could just make one super-dooper-bad-ass hero that was all but immortal, and just cost enough to make you go bankrupt. So far the units I've messed around with are: Goblins and Dwarves from the demo in skirmish mode. They were a fair bit of fun, though the demo limited the maps you could use, and naval combat was almost nill on the ones I tried out. Elves: These guys can kick so serious arse if you tell 'em to! With the one ring Galadial(No clue if that's anywhere near correct spelling) is powerful, though not nerely as powerful as I'd have expected- I'd thought there would be new abilities for her, but alas, none arose. The units are still fun to use, though, and the computer's habit of sending enemy units at you in small numbers that can't do too much helps- set up two or four units of archers to catch enemies in a crossfire and then throw in a tower- you're golden for the choke points, and can level up as necessary. The Witch King Faction: So far I've only used the limited play provided by the first level of the campaign for this fella, so I'll reserve judgement. What I've gotten from it so far with the limited use of units is a sense that this can be a very powerful faction if used properly. Snow trolls can mow down enemy defenses, and the rest can take severe punishment before you have to worry about them dying. Siege weapons appear to be very helpful (At least against infantry, cavalry, and siege units) and so this should be fun, especially now that I've finished with Empire at War for a while.

Granted, but he just becomes sxyzophrenic, so that only the Tofu personality suffers, while the new Tophu personality, the dominant one, is just fine and lives a happy, fulfilling life. I wish Budious was obsessed with flowers, aspects of nature, and tiny things that can't hurt anyone and are considered "cute."

To your review I merely say this: Dark Journey. Oh, yes, and Star by Star (Blaster Bolts!) Truth be told, it is the weakest one in the trilogy, but I assume fans wrote them yelling at innacuracies and the like, which resulted in the next one being better and correcting some issues, and the third one being their best.

Granted, but now he's wished you were in horrible agony every moment of your life. I wish LOTRII would install faster and play even better.

It strikes me that, since we have a thread for books and for creative writing, we should probably have a general thread for mind-rot, IE Video Games. Well, that and I just got Rome: Total War from my friend as well as The Battle for Middle Earth II as well as Rise of the Witch King expansion. I haven't played either yet, and kind of wanted a place to discuss them both when I do. But this thread isn't strictly for those video games- feel free to discuss any other good ones you have on any console... Except the Wii. Yes, Rob, I just made that condition to tick you off. Feel free to break it.

Wow. I (helped) make a huge Space Shuttle at Kennedy Space Center for their Visitor's Center when I was, like, eight, and there were over a hundred members of the Lego Club there to help! That's mad awesome, that thing is! The only things that beat it are at Legoland in California.

Granted, it happens all over again, except that this time it doesn't involve you at all (I'm far too lazy to check your old posts.) I wish chicken tasted like beef.

I seriously laughed for a good two minutes after reading that! That's great! I'm officially posting it on facebook!

I took it off of Wookiepedia's article on- erm, the pertinent person (Don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't read anything yet). I think it's from the sketch pad of one of the fellows who illustrates the encyclopedias and some of the comic books.

Granted, but the money is all taken by taxes to the point where you only make one hundred dollars. I wish that this wish wouldn't be corrupted. (Just try to corrupt that one!)

That's great- the Force Heretic Trilogy is, as I've said before, rather well written. Not the best written, but still rather well done. I personally would not have rated Destiny's Way as high as you did (too many continuity errors. They annoy me far more than they should, which just creates cyclical annoyance at my being annoyed for being annoyed), but to each his own. Let me know when you finish through to Sacrifice- I'm trying to secure a copy of that book presently, and really hope that it'll be out in paperback before/when Inferno is released. Otherwise I'll be quite annoyed, since I'm collecting the whole series and really don't feel like wasting extra cash on the hardback version with less content in it (Paperback will include Boba Fett: A Practical Man according to wookiepedia)

The next episode... It still has yet to be filmed, and won't be filmed for a while since one of the actors has to spend some time in another part of Florida with his biological mother, but feel free to drop off your comments, and when it's finished feel free to point other people on the internet toward it. Road Trip From Hell Money C.P. (Voiceover): Okay, so before we begin, quick recap: This is car, Adam, Other Chris, and me. Adam beat the crap out of LaLa, thinking that he was TinkyWinky, the Teletuby who killed his father. Other Chris joined in and killed the poor guy. So now we have the body in the trunk, only one guy with any cash, and a roadtrip to California going so that we can dump the body on the other side of the continent. Got all that? Good. Time to move on. (Throughout the speech clips were shown from the first shooting corresponding to all of this) Show car pulling into a parking space outside of a 7/11. Show the sign to indicate that this is definitely a 7/11. Switch to interior shot of C.P. C.P: Okay, we have a good-news, bad-news situation, here. C.F. (Offscreen): Well, what’s the good news? C.P: Good news is that we’re in the perfect place for this emergency to occur. Bad news is that we’re out of both gas and money. A: Don’t you have emergency money? In fact, I know you have emergency money. You specifically told me that I wasn’t allowed to spend it. C.P: Yeah, well, I sort of wanted to make sure I was in an emergency situation before I spent it. Switch to view of A. A: No gas, no other money, and a dire need to get across something like twelve more states to dump a body in the ocean- I’d say that’s an emergency. Switch back to view of C.P. C.P: Sigh Yeah, I know, but time isn’t that important right now, is it? Can’t we just, like, get jobs for a day or something? Switch to view of C.F. C.F: snaps fingers I’ve got it- a much quicker solution! We beat up a hobo, steal his money, and use it to pay for gas! Switch to view from the back seat looking between the front seats C.P. and A. both twist to look back through the gap in unison. C.P. & A. (Together): Are you retarded? Switch back to view of C.F. C.F: Oh, yeah- they don’t carry their wallets with them. They’re wily ones, those hobos. We’ll have to track one back to its lair and kill It there. Then we’ll trek through the tombs of ancient kings to find untold treasures and- The sound of two car doors slamming can be heard. C.F. talks even as they are slamming. C.F. (Continued): The lurking dragon to confront. After slaying it we can choose to drink its blood and become hobos ourselves or sell it to Harry Potter for large amounts of gold. Then- The scene changes to C.P. and A. leaning against car. C.F. can still be heard faintly talking nonsense through the voiceover system. C.P: Okay, so now that we’re clear of the stupidity, any ideas on getting to money to pay for gas? A: Stupid as Chris’s ideas were, they did give me an idea- C.P: God help us all. A: Ha-ha. –for what to do. C.P: And that idea is? A: We bum the cash off of folks. Grab a piece of cardboard, make a sign, and beg for money. C.P: Okay, there is no way I’m going to- The scene switches to C.P. and A. slouched against the wall of 7/11, with C.P. holding a sign asking for gas money. C.P. (As though continuing the earlier statement): I hate you. A: Yeah. I know. It’s mutual. Different scenes show a passage of time, with C.P. &A. in various degrees of boredom. At one point only the piece of cardboard is shown, with the words “Got bored with this. Doing something fun right now.â€

Haha! Great ones, Def! I especially like that last one! Warning: Don not click on the following link unless you've read X-Wing: Iron Fist by Aaron Allston. In fact, if you haven't read it, run off and read the whole X-wing series. It's like liquid awesome, only in book form. You've been warned.

Now there's an interesting thought- though by the same token, Voldy might have just wanted to kill Harry himself, seeing as Harry is something of his arch nemesis. I think Lupin and Wormtail (AKA Peter) are both going to die, thus uniting James Potter and his friends in death in the end. I agree that Snape may well be good, but I think there might be some redemption for other Death Eaters as well. Lots of them were just scared into being by Voldy's side- though others, like Bellatrix, were there willingly. I still think that Harry might be a horcrux- Voldemort had something of Slytherin's (Two things, if you count he himself), something of Hufflepuffs, wanted something from Ravenclaw, and Harry is probably a descendant of Gryffindor. That lends itself to his being a horcrox. Another detail that I don't know if anyone noticed- Godric's Hollow- Godric Gryffindor. Rowling has confirmed a connection. Significant? It's anybody's guess.

Haha- nice one, Jahled!

Granted, but he tells his wrestling buddies about you and they all think that you're disrespecting him, so they show up and beat the crap out of you. (I only know who that guy is because my friend, who is way too into RAW (I still don't know what that stands for) had a news bulletin on about his having died.) I wish my shoulder didn't hurt so bad.

Granted, but you're trapped in space, doomed to drift forever without ever contacting anything. I wish we had some cooler banners on this site.
