    It's an MMO; KotOR is single player. There is no comparison. Having spent 6 years in WoW (on and off), I can definitely refute Eugimon's take of "it's like WoW with lightsabers;" it's not at all like WoW. It feels familiar when compared to all MMO's that have come out in the last decade--what I find to be a comfortable familiarity. Though it's clearly not "different" in the sense that EVE Online is different, playing it just gives you a whole different feel; SWTOR has a different style of presentation than WoW does.

    So, come on new testers, what do you guys think?

    WTF, Panthro's arms?!?!?
  4. Duke Togo
    This has been an ongoing problem since the word go.

    Movie that didn't deserve a sequel. I'll probably check it out on Netflix just for the nostalgia factor.

    The NDA has been lifted.

    Technically speaking, that's the Sith Empire opening cinematic.

    Rick is the Galactica; Shane is the Pegasus. How'd that turn out?

    There are certain quirks to the beta client that I think most people miss because they aren't checkin all the relevant info on the forums. (For instance, older ATI drivers can cause an extended black screen upon launch). Also, they were staggering logins as they ramped up the servers.

    The download is actually more like 30GB.

    Flooding, flooding, flooding.

    My bad, dawg.

    Buying a HDD right now is a big mistake. Prices are way up due to the situation in Taiwan.

    Not to be an ass, but did you actually read the email?

    Gah, thought this was a Gurren Lagann topic!

    Personally, I'd put Casino Royale behind only Goldfinger (which will be hard to ever surpass--its pitch perfect) in the franchise's history. There isn't much after Thunderball that I actually enjoy watching. On Her Majesty's Secret Service is grossly underrated, though it would have benefited from a better Bond; the only Moore Bond I can stomach is The Spy Who Loved Me; Dalton's Bond is generally under appreciated, and likely suffered following in the footsteps of the fat old buffoon; and I find the Brosnan movies to be largely unwatchable (though, not because he failed in the role). Craig works really well for me as Bond, as long as they keep him out of Jason Bourne territory (I'm looking at you, QoS). And I'm still waiting for my theory as to what Dench's "M's" real name is to be proven correct (as teased in Casino Royale). My money is on "Moneypenny."

    Should be noted that this is a "stand alone" Bond film, and not a sequel/continuation like QoS was.

    Director Sam Mendes is quoted as saying filming will begin today (11/03/11). Starring: Daniel Craig, Ralph Fiennes, Javier Bardem, Albert Finney, Judi Dench

    Unless she was in 13, I've never seen her in any other FF game.

    Bad mecha designs are still bad. Love the idea, but it's a sticking point for me.

    I'm not sure this exactly fits into the scope of this thread, but Yoji Yamada's "Twilight Samurai" is simply brilliant. All three of the films in Yoji Yamada's samurai trilogy are excellent, but Twilight Samurai stands head and shoulders above the other two. It's a crime that it's not available on Blu-ray in the US. What is perhaps more fitting for this thread is Miike's 13 Assassins. I thought the praise for it was a bit overblown (this doesn't compare to Seven Samurai), but it's a good movie nonetheless.

    Um, no, not at all. I'm not even going to bother to respond to the rest of your post. If you have more to say, please PM me. Again, I'll say that I am going to give the show a chance. We're what, 7 episodes in to season 1? Had I given up on Fullmetal Alchemist 7 episodes in (which I almost did), I would have missed out on a series I ended up enjoying a lot. I have issues with the new Thundercats series, but it has enough going for it that I think it can be a good show. If we get to the end of the first season and it just isn't doing it for me, you won't see me discussing it again.

    Kind of hard to have a discussion if everyone blindly loves the subject, no? What did I mean? I mean they're following the same formulaic format the original show did. At first I thought it was just a nod to the original series, but it's starting to feel like that's the actual format of the show. Personally, I'm going to finish out the first season and give the show a fair chance. If I end up feeling indifferent at the end of it, I'll stop watching.
  24. Duke Togo
    Well, it's how the original series was; conflict of the week with strange creatures that seem like they came out of nowhere and exist nowhere else.
  25. Duke Togo
    I'll finish out this first season, but the show isn't impressing me enough to be interested in it anymore. The nostalgia factor wore off really quickly in the new episode. If I was 11 again I'd probably really enjoy it; I just happen to be 35 now.
