Swiftdraw

Back in high school the plan was always to use the "special education" students (read: the mentally challanged) in the school as meat shields in case of any violent uprisings. My friends and I figured throwing cookies it the right direction would get them into postion....

You're 6' 3''? I still have 2 & 3/4 inches on you... Or 6.985 centimeter in metric. Chloroform cost to much... Just use a bat, I'm sure his head will take it. J/King fosh

Weee!!! I got to the latest page and finished it!!! My eyes are burning and I'm tired... I'm gonna crash soon... Weeeeee

Started it this morning, I like it it. My only compliant is that the profile shots of the head (you know, looking at it from the side) don't seem quite right. The nose and plament of the eyes and mouth are kind of off.

Or maybe, when we usually see them, they're against a hero important to the plot and thus stand no chance. Remember the assault on the blockade runner in Ep. IV? They kick much butt if I re-call right. I'm sure they're the best standard troops in the galaxy, but when they go against a important plot figure they're going to be nothing more than fodder.

Its been said in interviews hero's are going to be harder than heck to kill out right, so we'll see.

Don't you mean Regular units < Bounty Hunters < Heros < Regular troops? Looks like it will work. I dunno... I was never to big on having to focus on hero units. Guess that is why I didn't like WCIII

I use to be a Flyers fan (which makes me un-popular here in Red Wings country), then came the strike... I kinda quit following hockey after that. I swear, you Canadians and your hockey. When I was in Toronto I my dad and I couldn't find a un-filled bar anywhere because the leafs were playing. About like American footbal I suppose... I'm going o laugh my (edited) "rear" off when another southern team like the Lightning win the Stanley Cup again.

My eyes will be blood red by the end of the weekend...

OK, vertically challenged then...

I watch the X-games on ESPN and thats about it. The crashes are entertaining. Ooooo... Has anyone here had the dis-pleasure of running into a rabid NASCAR fan? My twitch reaction is to beat them with a baseball bat untill the screaming stops, but the law frowns on such things.

You basiclly want a Rouge Squadron for PC then... Fun, but not too in depth.

Gah... Worst archive dig I did was reading all of 8-bit theater's. That took me two days. I'll check this out I suppose.

Thats what I thought to unless Britain is slowly moving away from Europe and closer to the west It's all a part of their nefarious plan to re-conquer North America... BUT I'M ON TO YOU SNEAKY BRITS!!! You'll never get away with it! Ha! You're all midgets. I'm 6' 5'' 3/4 as of last July when I went in for a doctors appointment.

Sad... So sad... Was he dropped on his head when he was little? Or exsposed to large amounts of un-refined lead? I tend to use swiftdraw when I can... But... Swiftdraw: lost count, most commonly used name. Swiftlydead: UT2k4 and occasional CS:Source SN. I use this because I die really quickly in these games. Identitystolen: When swiftdraw is already taken. Used on two forums and Battlefield 2 3\/1| @[)|\/|1|\|: When I play on a local game center's CS;Source server, for I'm an admin there.

Meh... The Hapans did their own thing which happened to work with the New Republic and I believe the Mandalorian's only real sin was trying to wipe out the Jedi. I agree with Garbageben that the Black Sun, Ssi Ruk, and Vong should really be their own side. You know, a clone wars era republic vs. the Empire could be intresting since all of the Empire's military was based off of that era.

Long post tend to relay more info, if people bother to read them.

Eragon... Never heard of it.

You were saying the whole totalaterian thing worked for the Taliban, Iraq, and the Suadi's. I think the reason was, they knew how to play the sides and make themselves useful, and at times, needed. Hence the world was (and in some cases still is) willing to turn a blind eye towards them. Once the stop being useful and are precived to be a threat, bad things happen to them.

Stay on topic you say? This thread was about the connection (or lack of) violence and video games, and you're talking about Black & White 2.

Why not just make a EU mod with everything throwen in together? Just like EU, it doesn't have to make sense, it just has to have all the cool characters and equipment in it blowing things up in various fashions. Heck, just say the characters that have been dead for hundreds of years have been cloned or ressurected through the force and all of the oudated equipment that shows up is from some long forgotten stash hidden away by the Old Republic/Jedi/Sith/Empire/Rebel Allaince.

That and the new design had smaller exhaust all through out the DS instead of the one big one on a pole (which was so prone to force guide torps), so it had to be re-size to accomadate all of that. Also the main weapon got a make-over, and all the new power conduits, targeting systems, and beam guides had to be accounted for in the size... There were tons of upgrades that needed to crammed somewhere, so the size natuarlly balooned.

Gah, I hope EaW doesn't do that. The gameplay gets so very bland with to equivelant sides. Not to mention all the Imp lovers would complain forever and a day if Reb units could go toe-to-toe with Imperial units.

If I want an SSD, I'd go for a Soveriegn of Eclipse. Probably the Eclipse because it comes with a throne room from which I can command from. Great... A boat load of Fosh's. Just what I would want... JKing Fosh

Thats my main complaint right there. For it's size, the Executor class has very few guns. Yes, it numerically has more than your cut and dry ISD but they cover less of an area and can't concentrate their firepower as well. Though it's armor and shielding is fitting of a battleship, it's armermants are fitting for a battlecruiser. It may seem to have tons of fighters, but considering that the movie scaling shows that it's hanger bay can fit an entire ISD with ease it really doesn't hold that many (2 or 3 wings last I read, which is about 231 fighters.) Yeah, it also holds ground assault troops and two pre-con bases, but again its not that much considering the sheer size of the thing. They were primarly designed for fleet command and commincation, not a battlewagon. I'd hold more fear for the escorting fleet than the actual Executor class SSD. I much rather have the cost of 1 Executor divided up into multiple ISDs, its far more effective and efficient. In game, unless you get some nice little bonus for having one in a fleet, I will not be wasting my time or resources for a gaint ship with an equal large "SHOOT ME!!!" sign on it. The best outcome I can think of for a bonus-less Executor is that it would make for a very exspensive distraction for the enemy fleet while my actual fleet rips into them.
