Interesting. Is your family seperated or something? Not the Shining as you remember it Star Wars Abridged Edition (Doesn't seem to sync very well, try refreshing) Michael J Fox goes back to the future for a cure

+++ Grand Admiral Burgan finished up reading the report that had been sent from Toprawa via the ships fleeing that area. " 'Multiple fleets sighted crossing the Hydian Way. Possible flanking Maneuver. -Dorja.' Well that tears it." He muttered putting the datapad back into it's connector port on the side of his command chair. "I'm beginning to think this entire front of a feint." General Richardson as usual was close by to comment. "But what about the local fleet sightings? We have seen a fleet staging for an attack on Orb Biniir." "The threat that fleet poses is still real but their primary reason for being here is to keep us pinned. Though if they can destroy us I'm sure they’d be happy to do so." "What do we do about this?" "Nothing at the moment. One third of our reinforcements have already been redirected to the Tion. Hopefully they can hold things together long enough for us to finish up here. How go the preparations?" Asked the Admiral, changing the direction of the conversation slightly. "We've fortified the planet with several divisions along with some local starfighter squadrons and Turbolaser emplacements. I'd to have two of our older Frigates sit in orbit over each pole in case we need them to act as relays for the ground forces. Some Tie Bombers would also be handy." "We can spare the Frigates you want but I think we'll need all of the Bombers in orbit. I'm glad you found some local starfighters to augment your troops Jerej, we just cant spare any even with Lancer Frigate support." The General gave his friend a concerned look. "How many did we lose in that engagement last week?" "Three full squadrons. Mostly Interceptors but some Elites as well. Dulgan Wren is dead." "The Imperial Guard Captain? How did that happen?" Burgan sighed. "He felt that if he was going to be acting as a body guard for high ranking officers like myself he needed to know what the Vong were like to fight against." Neither spoke for a minute, instead just concentrating on the various displays around the command chair. "Well, hopefully you won't need to abandon ship anytime soon." Jerej said at last. +++ The Strike Cruiser Termagant reverted to realspace on the edges of the Saffalore system. "Here we are Major." said the ship's Captain, Groms Moreland, an officer grey with age who kept his scraggly beard just barely within Imperial regulations. "Where do you want us now? It's your show Major, we're just along for the ride." Radaf Netbers wasted little time in directing the crew to put this ship in a high orbit above the planet Saffalore. "Com, put out a tight beam transmission to com satellite OVBX-031." "We have a positive handshake signal Major." reported the junior officer. "Good." He walked over to the console. "This is Termagant hailing Binring Biomedical Product. We need to reach Doctor Edda Gast immediately. Respond." +++ "Doctor!" shouted the voice through the open com. "A Strike Cruiser just entered orbit. They're demanding to talk to you immediately." Edda Gast ignored the open com line for a moment as she used a laser scalpel to finish a cut then cauterized it. "There." She stepped out of the experimentation room and removed the safety goggles before responding. "Drufey, put them through to my main station." "On it Doctor... you're green." The Doctor punched the corresponding button on her consol. "This is Doctor Edda Gast, to whom am I speaking?" "This is Major Netbers onboard the Strike Cruiser Termagant. Your Primary operations are being relocated core ward immediately. We can no longer guarantee that this location will remain secure. We'll need a secure landing zone to load project components. You are expected to relocate to the Core as well." "What about the other projects that I'm head of? Most of them have already shown quite promising." "If we can find additional room we'll consider taking equipment of your choice aboard. Now, we need landing co-ordinates ASAP." "Understood, stay on this channel Major we should be able to give you a rough landing zone location in five minutes." "We'll be waiting." Dr.Gast hit the mute button then pulled her personal secure comlink out. "Drufey! We are Code Thirty Seven, bring in everyone with clearance you can find and get me a groundside landing dock that can handle a Strike Cruiser." "A secure one? We'll need to use one of the CSA held dock-pits." "Do what you have to. I don’t care. If we need to drop troops from orbit or something just let me know." 092 Not so long but oh well.

Oh the humanity! What horrors will you unleash upon the world next? Hopefully nothing as scarry as Tofu's picture.

Got over 900 m. The secret is to push not too hard. And the angle - 1479.63 metres I remember getting into the 3,500m range back in 2005 playing this but havent gotten past 1,500m since then. I specialize in getting diffrient sorts of records now. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Nanacaunder-achievement.jpg

Man, why is it that Lucas Arts always gives the best stuff to Nintendo? I mean, when was the lest time one of the Rogue squadron games was made available on PC? Rogue Squadron 3D Been playing some Assassin's Creed. Thought it was good, though the save citizen missions were gitting a little tiring by the end. Woman: Help! Please somone! These guards wont leave me alone! Me: *Sigh* This had better be the last person I save in the game. I have to admit that the slight boredom I started to feel at the end inspired me to greater and greater feats of swordsmanship as I tried to find faster ways of mowing down crowds of guards. http://www.britishgaming.co.uk/wp-content/screenshots/ps3_assassin/ps3_assassin.jpg Also... http://rabbids.uk.ubi.com/images/entertainment/videogames/videogame_assassin.jpg

Sorry dude but this site doesn't endorse free downloading of games. Your best bet is finding it cheap on Amazon or somewhere.

My Grandfather died this morning. He had cancer so it took awhile, but he died at home like he wanted not in the hospital. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/DennisMcGarr002-smaller.jpg I had previously commented that he looked somewhat like a particular Star Wars Character. http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/thumb/9/98/Doc-bio.jpg/250px-Doc-bio.jpg

Also, remember to blame eBaum's. Next combines attack wave to commence Monday January 21st, at 6PM EST

God that`s a huge spider.

Rented today. It was incredible. Both action packed, and hilarious. Nooooo. Really I didn't think he was that bad in that movie... for a change.

+++ General Ganmey continued to speak to the Admiral as the group rode a turbolift to one of the higher levels in the facility. "This area we're in now and the launch bay are both part of one of the outer sites. You're going to find security here to be heavy, obviously so since the Emperor occasionally spends time here." "Is it quite alright for you to be telling us all of this?" Asked Dorja at the Turbolift began to slow. The General didn't seem to be bothered by the question. "Oh of course! I'm certain that all of your security checks will come back positive, otherwise you'll just be executed later on today." The lift stopped and the doors hissed open. The General was out the door headed down another corridor before any of the three visitors could even respond to his last comment. "We're heading for a viewing platform used by security. You'll be able to see the main Palace from there while we wait to hear back on what time you'll be meeting with the Inquisitor." They had to wait through another turbolift ride before arriving in a large sprawling security office. Only a handful of officers were present in a room that seemed to be intended for upwards of forty. The outside wall was made up of a segmented transparisteel viewport that curved back to either side where they eventually met the sloped armoured wall that made up this side of the building they were in. A few paces in from the windows were a row of seats which helped divide the work areas of the office from the better viewing areas. The General waved over an officer and talked to him momentarily before turning back to the group. "If you all would be so kind as to wait here, I'll should be back within the hour." With that he headed back to the turbolift at a good clip. Two of the Stormtroopers took up guard positions at the boundary between the office area and the seating. Jag sat and looked out through the nearest viewport at a large plain with distant mountains, and spotted a rather unremarkable com tower. To it's credit it was far enough away that it had to have been more than thirty stories tall. He glanced to either side through the other viewports and failed to spot any other structures above the surface. "Is that the Emperor's resort Palace?" asked Jag somewhat sceptically, pointing to the tower. The officer that had remained behind was nearby and heard the comment. "That?" he asked pointing to the tower Jag had indicated. "That's just a Com tower. Try getting closer to the viewport." Jag looked over to the Admiral who was patiently waiting for the pilot to do as suggested. He stood up and looked straight out, standing right in front of the viewport. This time his he noticed something out of place. The distant mountain range that he thought he'd seen before was in actuality one large mountain with a sharp top and sides steeper than any normal formation. A Tie Phantom streaking past in front of the huge man made structure snapped Jag out of his near dazed state. "That must be nearly the size of the Imperial Palace in the Core Regions." The other officer nodded. "It's roughly the same height, though it's hard to tell without all of the surrounding towers like on Coruscant, er, Imperial Center." None of the three visiting officers took note of the slip however as they took in the sight of the angular tower. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Emperorspalace2.gif +++ In the rooms filling the top most sections of the tower the three guests looked upon resided the Imperial Inquisitor. Adalric Cessius Brandl sat in meditation in one of the side chambers built for that purpose. A few days ago the Emperor had sent a powerful summons through the force to all of the Inquisitors, a warning to prepare if they had not already done so. A great calamity appeared to have befallen the Empire and now it's enemies were scrambling to gut the great beast that had for so long trampled them. The Troops and the Fleet under the Inquisitor's control -such as it was- had been made ready though the Corporate Sector as a whole was far from that state. What preoccupied him now in his meditations however was alerting his son to the danger. Jaalib Brandl was one of the half dozen or so Sith studying the ancient artifacts on Yavin left over by Exar Kun and his Massassi slaves. Despite being the site of one of the more important battles of the early Rebellion the entire region was still poorly defended. The nearly imperceptible sound of the high speed turbolift coming to a halt at this level snapped Brandl out of his trance. The local staff officers were under orders to never disturb him at this hour of the day. He let Force lightning momentarily arc between his fingers in annoyance before quieting his mind and moving back towards the main chamber. Sitting down in the chair at the head of the audience chamber the Inquisitor pressed a button on the arm of the chair to signal that he has ready to the Imperial Guards outside. One of the lower ranking officers, a Lieutenant Commander, had made the trip up to see him this time. When the doors slid open the man walked quickly to the normal spot in front of the room's 'throne' and bowed down on one knee. "Rise." Commanded the Inquisitor. "My Lord, an Admiral Dorja and two of his senior officers have just arrived. They've come from outside the sector. Our Intel database places the Admiral's fleet as usually patrolling the areas just this side of Yaga Minor." "With no Hypercom it was inevitable that an Imperial fleet would be sent out at some point to update us. I find it odd that the fleet would send an Admiral from those areas and not something closer." When the Inquisitor stopped thinking out loud the officer continued on. "My Lord, General Ganmey reported that the Admiral was wearing rank insignia equivalent to High Admiral, not what was in our databank." "They must have promoted him before sending him out here then. Perhaps some of the higher ranking flag officers were killed in whatever disaster the Emperor has warned about. In either case you were correct to disturb me with this news, but see that it doesn't happen in the future." Almost as an afterthought the Inquisitor added. "Commander, please have the Admiral up to see me when he's available." "Yes my Lord, immediately!" The officer bowed then fast walked back to the turbolift. 091 Gawd! I got writers blocked on this piece no less than four times, I was just about to start slamming my head into my desk I was getting so annoyed. Then there were character names! Oh boy I get to look up whats-his-name from whatever-that-short-story-was for the who knows how many'th time. *Copy] "Uhl Eharl Khoehng " [/paste* Who's going to remember that off the top of their head? Honestly? EDIT: Wait... what? First NSO story post of 2008?!?!

Holy Crap! What will they think of next? http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20041018/brain.html Will we figure out how to create AI from this, leading to their eventual takeover?

OMGWTFBBQ! It's back!

After watching what seemed like several hours of those 5 second version flics (Until I think I saw each one on youtube) I finally staggered over to ytmnd. Clive Owen is playing with power The Shining TF2 style Strong-Bad Wars

Wow, i was going to say the complete opposite.

So a while back I was remembering this old thread and some of the things suggested in it. What/who would you have changed in the Prequels? Well I was bored at work and have since started coming up with more detailed plans. (Until this past week working on it had not affected NSO posting. ) Episode I The majority of the episode is planned out with some notes on conversation between characters for most major scenes except for those on Coruscant of involving the Jedi Counsel. Concept story boards drawn for the first 15-20% Episode II Only the most rudimentary planning done so far though I have a rough plan of the few major battles toward the end. Spoiler:Grevious Dies, Anakin loses a hand, Some of the Spartii cylinders that are sent to the Emperor's storehouse are secured End of the Clone Wars. Episode III Major events planned out but much of those in between still need to be made up. Rise of the Empire, fall of the Jedi, Anakin's final transformation into Darth Vader. Anakin never finds out Pademe is pregnant. Spoiler: Just wrote the fight in which Mace Windu dies. EDIT: Anyways, if there's anything specific that people want to happen ore show up just post here or necropost in the old thread. Can't promise it'll happen but I'll keep it in mind.

Best Movie: Bourne Ultimatum, 300 Best Console Game: Halo 3 Best PC Game:(Only bought 1 PC game that was even made in 2007, Supreme Commander. It was pritty good.) Best Music: Mostly got music from previous years. Worst... if I thought it was going to be bad I didn't even rent it.
