  1. Grain of salt, not canon, whine/moan/groan but... ...in the book Dark Lord: The Ride of Darth Vader it talks about how Palpatine treated him like trash because of how he screwed up and lost so much of his real body and so much of his power. There's a bunch of other stuff in there that paints a pretty good picture about how Vader possibly didn't use skill, power and prowess to defeat the Jedi he hunted but just overwhelmed them with Imperial forces until he could walk in and mop up. It's a short book, but not a bad read.
  2. Just watched it for the first time tonight. All the goodies in the vault were awesome, Hawkeye, what was in the case after the credits. All awesome. Definitely a great addition to the Marvel movie line.
  3. That, and he probably fed off of it.
  4. Data was the captain of the F in the (official)prequel comic for the new movie. The game follows everything set up in in the movie and the comic. Unless there's somewhere where CBS/Paramount or some other controlling source says it's not, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet unless they retcon both new movies, the "present" universe that spawned, the comics and the game, it's canon. Star Trek has never been the convoluted licensing/creative battle that Star Wars has. Likening Voyager to the Galactica doesn't really work in the nitty gritty aspect. They had replicators allowing them to make all the materials needed for repairs given they had the raw energy/materials. They had access to all kinds of alien races to get supplies from too. BSG had "real world" situations and applications where Star Trek has movie magic.
  5. I just think it's kind of silly to sit in this thread and bash on the changes that are to be because "he says so" but tell me that the EU doesn't count because because "he says so."
  6. He also says the Special Editions and the Blu Rays are going to be what Star Wars should have been. How far down the rabbit hole are we going to follow 'ole Georgy Boy? P.S. - Greedo shot first.
  7. If you guys are going to sit here and call GL a moron who doesn't know what he's doing, I can reference the books that are part of the canon EU. Sorry.
  8. Boba Fett isn't dead.
  9. I have plenty of fun in WoW and when I get too bored, I find something else to occupy my time. Regardless of what, who, how, why, when or genre an MMO is an MMO is an MMO. Personally, lore and storyline make games enjoyable for me. If I can do a quest or hundreds of quests that are linked together forming a story, the same MMO formula no longer applies. It's the reason ToR will have me at it's mercy for a long time to come; it's supposed to be incredibly story rich. All too many people play MMOs purely for the pvp or to be omgwtfawesome because they seem to forget the rest of the acronym, RPG and then complain when it's boring. Yeah, you skipped every piece of actual content in the game, including the reason why you're killing this boss or that boss just to get gear to show off your epeen or to get points to buy pvp gear. Sorry for the long winded, off topic-ness of that. mike, I do feel ya, though. <3
  10. As long as I can have all the stuff I already acquired and keep the store points I have rotting, I'm down to play again. I just couldn't afford to play this, DCUO and WoW.
  11. Kind of a "judging interest" post, and quite possibly not the place for it, but would there be one of you fine gentlemen interested in a brand new(unopened) Intel i7 2600k processor? A real life incident may be barring me from finishing my new computer at all and I may need to get rid of what components I have. Drop me a PM if you might be, if dis ain't da place, my apologies ahead of time.
  12. What were the opening scenes in that Macross Plus video from? One of the movies?
  13. If they even continue selling consumer PCs in the next few months. WebOS and Palm are just the start of HPs future weirdness.
  14. Once we were allowed to sell them again today it took all of 15 minutes to sell around 30 of them. Was crazy.
  15. Holy sh*t. 49 inches?!? Holy sh*t. $400. Holy, holy sh*t.
  16. $50 PS3 price drop announced at Gamescom. Effective immediately in the US and Europe with Japan on Thursday. Source.
  17. QFT. Edit: Didn't mean to quote the hater part too. Lol
  18. There is one prime storyline for most characters and universes whether it be DC or Marvel. That being said, DC is resetting the entire universe and every comic line they're keeping in September. I'm sure Marvel has something in the rafters waiting to see how DCs reset goes.
  19. I sometimes wonder if anyone around here read/reads the comics for any of these movies, at all, ever.
  20. I thought the same thing. I think the second Earth is going to be a back burnered kind of thing for most of the movie.
  21. Only speaking for myself here, but I never enter a thread for a movie I haven't seen or game I haven't played. Sorry you got it spoiled, Renato. =\
  22. As far as I know the Transformer Edition is only some badging here and there. The ones in the movie are based off the original concept and have changed throughout each movie and are running some pretty heavy mods.
  23. I don't know what people are complaining about. I was watching the E3 gameplay videos and the game looks great.
  24. Nah. You could get one with a router built in, but if you already have one that works well, there's no reason to replace it.
