AgentBirdnest: As long as you put ***MASSIVE SPOILER TAGS*** around it, I'm okay with it. (I haven't played it yet... in my backlog ;-))
Can I spoil it?

Well, Vader is his father, Vader is actually Jesus, as he was a miraculous conception, Luke has an inappropriate kiss with his sister. But in his defence, he did not know she was his sister, but she knew he was her brother, I know, a bit sick, right? Oh and there was this character called Jar Jar, and everyone hates tim. I think that sums it up. Lucas writing at it's best. :-)

I have to take issue with one part of that statement.

That's not American writing. That's Lucas writing. His ineptitude is not indicative of the country's ability as a whole. -laughs-

ddickinson: There is due to be some story weather here as well, at least for my part of England. Hopefully it will be nothing too bad.

The LA bundle is a lot of fun. If Grim Fandango had been the original I might have picked it up, but as it is I am not planning on buying any of the Double Fine games anytime soon. But I hope you enjoy the game, and all the movies. :-)
I'm looking forward to playing those games over the summer! I have so much to catch up on. And yes, I can understand your position on the Double Fine games. And thank you! :)

Ixamyakxim: Hello! Ooooh Jade Empire talk! It is a great game, and I don't think it gets enough love. Sure it was a bit of a departure from Bioware's other stuff, but between the wonderful, whimsical setting and visuals and entertaining action RPG mechanics I had a blast the whole way through.

Does anyone mind if I mention a spoiler?
I've played it already, so you can't spoil me. ;) If you don't want to mention it here you can always PM me if you want to talk about Jade Empire. It's one of my favourite games as well. I love the setting, and I think the game looks very beautiful.

Good point, my mistake. (But Lucas is American, so that is guilt by association.) :-)

LeoLR: Maybe we should join forces. I can gladly donate my code to you if you decide to hold a giveaway later.
avatar
FearfulSymmetry: Yep, we could definitely do that. I'm sure there will be some takers then. :)

avatar
CarrionCrow: -laughs- That's funny, the front door almost got destroyed bringing a couch in.
The only reason why it fit was that the top and sides have a small degree of puffiness, so I was able to shove the couch in hard enough to make the puffy bits go flat, giving us the inch of space we needed to keep from destroying the doorway.
avatar
FearfulSymmetry: Haha yes, we had a problem getting the couch out of the house again. We had to twist it, get it halfway through the door, then twist it the other way to make it fit. Took a good ten minutes, and two of the people handling the couch didn't speak Dutch and barely any English, so that complicated matters even further. :P

EDIT: You're probably right about Jade Empire. The giveaway might be the best idea. I've held a giveaway for it before and there were plenty of participants then. :)
Ah, I know what you mean. The obnoxious standard method, always a pain.
The language barrier made it that much more enjoyable, I'm sure.

In my case, it was a roommate and myself wrestling it off of a truckbed, barely squeezing it between the railing, getting it lined up with the door since it was too large for the twist method you used, then finding that at a glance it still wasn't going to go in.

At this point, I was more than a tad frustrated (probably because my hand had already been smashed a bit), so I just hit one side of it really hard. That was when we figured out that the cushioning was adjustable if you slammed into it...

I'd try to argue that, but it's a sad truth. Star Wars will always be remembered by the observant as either having a hack writing it or someone who just wanted to add in a retrospectively intensely creepy incest vibe.

So while popular, it'll never be seen as a great example of writing by any means.

I think people hold it to a too high standard. It's a movie, nothing more. There are many Hollywood movies that have worse writing. I think much of it came from him writing things as he went along, rather than having a solid story to begin with. At least I hope so, or that whole Luke Leia kiss thing is even more creepy. Overall it is what it is, a simple movie that is meant to entertain, and it does that wonderfully, just look at the fan base.

Although, the original three movies were practically Shakespeare when compared to the writing in Episodes 1-3. :-)
You know what? Screw it,unlocked my CC and gonna buy my games here.
Have 500 bucks to spend anyway.

AgentBirdnest: Hey, careful! I haven't seen the new Bible movie yet! :-p

He dies at the end? *spoiler alert* He comes back! ;) (Yes I know that's not how it actually ends - well, maybe the movie does I don't know. I mean the actual Bible).
Aloha all, survived another day at my grueling 4 hour job. :-)
Hope all are well, no way I can catch up at this point.
Anything amazing, cataclysmic, etc. happen while I was gone?

GoG put up a free 10 minute Bundle called "FUz B3Th" that contained Fallout, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics. Other than that, nothing good.
