So it's safe to assume you think every movie ever made has to be on par with "insert favotite movie name here" ? (kind of annoyed so can't really think of a stellar movie at the moment)
Why is it so hard to believe that people who actually are intelligent like movies like this? It's simple, action filled (read hot chick and gun) nonsense that lets us kill 2 hours. Why does every movie have to be an award winner and filled with an awesome plot? Why can't it just be a movie?

So that means with those two kits anyone can make the variable. Those are identical to the two main Exo Force models we can get here. I just saw the ones neded at Wal-Mart.
That's tight.

I scored a new Shadow Alpha from Gamestop for $9.99 this weekend.
I had ordered one a while back when it first came out but it took forever to transfer from another store. So the manager transferred one from a different store. (Which was cool that it took so long, because by the time it came it was down to $39.99.)
Well I went in this weekend to buy Resident Evil 4, and the manager told me that the other one finally showed up. She still had it sitting under the counter. It rang up as $19.99 and I had a $10.00 off coupon
So I just had to buy it....
Yeah. I just bought the 4 our GS had left. They were all sitting in the clearance bin. 4 for the retail of 1. I am happy.

It isn't one of their announcements.
It's a leak.
Bet a lot of you didn't know over half of the SoE SWG staff (uncluding devs and forums administrators.) quit/fired because they wanted nothing to do with the NGE.
As far as the "general public" will be concerned SWG is the best MMO ever because of the propaganda SoELA is throwing forth into the world.. As fas as we who know, it's dead.
30k+ cancellations in less than a month...
You figure it out.

Saturday, friend of mine pops on.
Lysis - Yo!
Hikuro - What's up?
Lysis - Hey since you like SW's, you ever played SWG?
Hikuro - Ummm, oh SWG, no...I heard mixed reviews and always revamping the game.
Lysis - Yeah, but this latest update is fantastic! You can be a Jedi without going thru all the crap! Which sucks for me cause I did go thru all the crap.
Hikuro - Oh....guess that's pretty cool.
Lysis - You should join up!
Hikuro - Yeah but I gotta pay. And I'm already paying 13 for FFXI...and hardly play.
Lysis - Yeah, and its basically 15 for SWG....but its cool! And we can play together!
Hikuro -.......I'll get it Monday.....
Lysis - Just go to the SWG site and download it! 10 day trail!
Hikuro - Rather have 30 day...cause 10 ain't gonna persuade me enough.
So Monday, keepin my promise, went to Fry's cause its the closest, found the starterkit for 19.99 went home, about the second disk it starts acting up saying "Wrong Vol. in drive need SWG_SK_1" so I thought maybe I just need to put disc 1 back in. Nope, everything went to hell.
Went back to Fry's spent an hour over there, find out Discs 2 and 4 got distortion so they wont work. So I went thru 5 or 6 boxes finally found 2 and 4 that looked okay.
I go home, pop in and reinstall, same damn message appears. But this time I got SWG icon on my desktop and on my start program.
So I start her up, loads, I register, signed in, and now I'm doing a 16 hour update and I'm on freaking DSL 0_o
So him and I are thinkin its filling in the missing data and updating into the latest version.
I contacted SOE, but I wont hear anything for a while........bbbbbllllllooows if I knew this was gonna happen I'd said forget it.
Yeah. All fine and dandy to be a Jedi right out of the box. 2+ years of the game being how it was. Promises and more promises. Update after update. nerf after nerf then they rip out the entire chat/movement/combat system and put something new in in order for it to be easily playable on the next gen consoles. OH YEAH.
Oh and don't waste your money. All the servers are being shut down in Mid february.

A lot to read, maybe it's been asked...
Is it correct to have the turbines blocked while in battroid?
I thought it was still using the turbines since it didn't have a reactor yet?
Looks nice though.

You guys are AMAZING. The guys who made them, build them, paint them. ALL of you.
I wish I had a single ounce of the talent you guys show.
Truly baffling.

Honestly, my bad. I see it now. I guess my search is borked.
I didn't mean to double it up.

Gah.
Try just searching for this item #

It's there...I think. =(

Wasn't quite sure what to search for and couldn't find it. If this is the wrong forum I am sure I will be smited into compliance as well.
Enjoy.
Fixed link.

That hurt to watch but God damn was that tight. Good work.

But all was not well! I can only see part of the image. After tinkering with various settings, I've determined that my video card has no support for widescreen resolutions.
Rather than write it off as a pipe dream or wishful thinking, I've decided to replace my video card.
I was under the impression that most widescreen TVs had an inverse-letterbox mode for the proper display of 4:3 images. There a reason you can't do that instead?
first of all, don't get the cable from wal-mart. get the ar one at bestbuy and the quality is much better. trust me, it work pretty good on my dlp.It works pretty good. So would a ratty pile of 20-year-old speaker wire.
We're dealign with DIGITAL signals here. Line quality is MEANINGLESS.
Your signal is perfect or non-existant. There IS NO in-between.
EVEN if that mattered, what store the cable came from is not important, merely the brand.
second, if you video has less than 258mb of ram, don't try any resolution other than vga but i maybe wrong. i like newegg a lot, and the shipping is really fast.You are indeed wrong. It doesn't take much RAM at all to get the GUI past 640*480*8. Not even a meg.
third, if you are running window xp, you can set from display properties the use wide screen. otherwise, your only choice is 4:3.Again you're wrong. My 2k and 98 boxes BOTH have the option of non-4:3 ratios.
Hell, even before it was an OS Windows supported non-4:3 resolutions.
1280*1024 springs to mind as one that virtually everything supports.
It's got very little to do with the OS, and a whole lot to do with video chipset and drivers.
lastly, the dvi out from the video card is for moniter, you can connect it to the tv's dvi port or the 15 pins video port. hdmi can only be use to input hd signal, upconvert dvd, turner, etc.. unless you get a high end card with hd output, which i don't know of one, but i'm sure they exist. or you can just switch a mac or a unix box.Wrong AGAIN. DVI and HDMI carry EXACTLY the same digital video signals. They are ELECTRICALLY IDENTICAL for this task.
FURTHERMORE, HDMI accepts any signal of the appropriate encoding format, not just HDTV signals.
480i, while not HD in the least, is accepted through HDMI. You can even get signals GREATER THAN HD through an HDMI connector, though the odds that your specific TV is capable of dealing with them are somewhat low(possible, but not probable).
ANY video card capable of going past 1024*768 has HD output. HD just means the image has 720 or 1080 lines of resolution. Nothing special there at all.
If you have a TV with RGBHV inputs, you can buy a VGA->BNC cable and use that on ANY video card with an analog VGA connector. OR a VGA->BNC and DMI->VGA.
But most TVs don't have RGBHV. They usually have component, DVI, and/or HDMI. If you go overseas they have RGBHV, but not through the 5BNC setup I was talking about. So it's fortunate we're dealing with DVI and HDMI here.
As far as the 15-pin video port, that's a standard VGA connector. BUT DVI ALSO carries analog VGA signals on it. So AGAIN it's a matter of a small adapter.
And how in the hell would changing OSes from Windows to Linux fix the absurd hardware limitations you claim exist(which, fortunately for enthusiasts everywhere, do not)?
That is all.
I love a man who know the whole over yonder isn't his ass.
Anyway...not all cards higher than the GT are PCIe. I am currently running a 6800 ultra agp. (much) More expensive than it's PCIe counterpart but it exists.
If you're not a hardcore gamer a 6800 anything is too much. It's a waste of cash. If you just want something the supports all newer drivers and DX 9.c get a 5500 with 256 onboard. It's an inexpensive card that does everything. I think the only two games I couldn't play on it were Far Cry and BF 2. HL2 ran just fine. Quit telling him to get something he doesn't need.
And a shameless plug for me....I have above card available for $75. Lol

Yang Newman was his name although I probably spelled his name right.
Like azrael said above it was an optional configuration. Newman installed the seat so he could accompany isamu to Earth.

Now, let's look at a prime example of blatant disregard to Star Wars canon: Star Wars Galaxies. An MMORPG set in the Original Trilogy's Galactic Civil War.
Here we have the Rebels actually outnumbering the Empire on most servers. AT-ATs are seen LESS often as a solar eclipse in real life, while Droidekas & Super Battle Droids from the Prequels litter the landscape. You can see more people wearing Clone Trooper armor than wearing Stormtrooper armor or other Rebel/Empire uniforms/equipment. In a setting where Jedi are practically dead with so many hopes riding on Luke Skywalker, the game is now full of player Jedi Knights and Masters. Does all this still make it Star Wars?
About that. It was stated last year by a game developer that they are using the univerese how they wish. It isn' a blatent disregard...they are doing just like the Infinities Comics did. They are making their own story from a piece of the Star Wars Universe.
And as for me being wrong about Palpatine and his 'ruse', read the novel. He was hurting himself more to make Anakin think Windu was in the wrong. His face WAS distorted by the lightning. It wasn't make up. Direct quote from Palpatine while looking in the mirror "Ah, so the mask becomes the man." Ian was quoting what he thought was going down not what was intended to be seen.
-
Palpatine wasn't wearing makeup. He was normal. When he was Sidious he had a cloak on to hide his normal features. Mace was using his lightsaber to deflect the lighting back at Palpatine. Palaptine in turn was intensifying the lightning so he looked more desperate to Anakin. His muscles melted right off of his bones. Anakin turns like a bitch, Mace dies. The end.
-
I loved it. I think hoiw Grievous was built up and died like a biotch and how easily Anakin went over to the dark side(at least how the movie portrayed it without the help of the clone wars cartoons and comics and such) was really....underdone (if you can say that word) but other than that it was better than the first two by far and I hope Lucas gets a bug up his ass to continue sometime in the future.

Anyone notice that font used on the case is the same as the one from the Spiderman movies? Sony reusing stuff....lol

Chuey, you live in/near Modesto? We should have lunch sometime if ya do.
Thanks for the invite. Regrettably, I actually live in Sacramento. However half of the chapter of the Star Wars costume club that I lead resides in Modesto. We will support the Gallo Art Center charity with our presence (photo ops), some activities and even a set inside the theater that will be up for two months. In fact, here are some pictures of that imperial/star destroyer set at the Brenden Modesto Theater that my chapter vice president and club members have been making.
I was wondering what that was. I was there a couple of weeks ago and the only thing there was the wall. Well...I am planning on waiting in line on Sunday (if Brenden and/or the other business's permit it) so maybe if you head down for the premiere I'll see ya. My nickname is Chewie so no confusion there. My group will be the ones with 17 master replicas sabers. hehe.

Or as The Joker on the animated Batman, or as Christopher Blair from the Wing Commander series, or as Cockknocker from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, or as any number of voice-acting projects. He's a busy beaver.
Ditto. I knew he was Joker a LONG time ago.
Plus, the whole Wing Commander thing was pretty tight.

Yeah so this just in: They are having a special $250 May 13th showing here in Modesto and Mark Hammil is going to be here. Woo.
Stupid charity.
