    WALL OF TEXT INBOUND! (Hey at least I warned you this time) I have all the movies. I wonder what will happen with the new trilogy coming out. I'm honestly a bit skeptical considering Disney's takeover. Though it might be just me, though, I mean, Disney's capable of doing non-kiddie movies. But I guess we'll see. As for games, I've got Battlefront II, a couple small GBA games and both Force Unleashed games. I love both Battlefront and Force Unleashed. You know after looking back, you're kind of surprised at how much work and content Lucasarts put into the game, especially by today's standards. It's got good graphics for back in the day, lots o' maps, surprisingly smart bots, 16v16 team support (I think), a creative story mode that uses only multiplayer maps in a nonlinear fashion, Galactic Conquest which turns the game from a straight-up TPS to sort of a strategy game mixed with TPS battles, space battles (that weren't in the first game), being able to play as hero's or villians, the list just goes on. Surprisingly, the only thing in content it's lacking are gamemodes. There are 4 gamemodes, Conquest which is just straight-up death match until one team's reinforcement count drops to 0, your average CTF mode (either 2Flag or Neutral Flag depending on map), "Hunt" mode on only certain maps where the indigenous aliens either kill each other or tussle with one of the normal factions, then for space battles there's Assault, first to x # of points wins, can be achieved through either destroying enemy fighters, or damaging certain parts of the enemy ship like the engines or communications array. There's also a special mode exclusive to the Mos Eisley map called Hero Assault where it's heroes vs villians. This mode became so popular, that the devs made two DLCs. One was free to download and all it did was add Hero Assault to Kashyyk, the other cost $5, and it added Kit Fisto to the heroes roster and Assaj Ventress to the villians. It also added a few more maps all with Hero Assault playable. Awesome game with lots of replay ability. The Force Unleashed games are awesome, and it really does unleash the force with all the combos and force powers you can do. And I was pleasantly surprised when the guy that was the main character's voice and face also plays as the vampire in Being Human. Though there are a few little things that bug me. One, is that the platforming can be TERRIBLE at times, it can be really difficult to judge if you're on the platform or not and you just slide off. Secondly, one VERY annoying thing is that certain enemies have attacks that knock you off your feet, and don't fire again until you get up, this is all fine and dandy, but the devs made it so the next attack was like perfectly timed with your recovery animation, knocking you back down, this led to chains of being knocked down, trying to get up, then getting knocked down again with little to no reaction time to avoid it. It was annoying. Finally, it has many game-breaking glitches, like blotching through walls and falling to your death, certain cut scenes sometimes freeze your game,bosses glitching out when going to the next "phase" of the battle, thus you couldn't continue. A lot of these were fixed in the sequel, enemies actually waited until you recovered and MOVING before firing again, platforms became less slippery, and there's not as many game breaking bugs. Overall though, they're great games, and I love em. I've also got a small collection of toys that I still have when I was younger, though it's NOTHING compared to what I've seen from other Star Wars fans. Trust me.

    Well I Know Where I'm Never Going

    Inb4 SyFy makes a cheesy horror movie based on Dracula ants. With all the awful special effects, terrible acting, and obligatory sex scene included.
  8. Socially, I'm sort of with the liberals. Economically, I'm with conservatives. I mean don't get me wrong, liberals want everything to be "fair". For social policies, it usually works out. Economically, however, the whole fairness system falls flat on its face. Multiple countries tried to take that route and looked what happened to them. By human nature, people are lazy, and if I get paid the same amount working hard sweating as the guy who's just sitting on his ass, what's the point of working and innovating? It just kills economies and halts activity basically, thus why I agree with Republicans on a lot of economic issues.

    Stock, Luger, and Basher, mostly. On offense sometimes I switch to Bonk! + Sandman. Scout is one of my least played classes so I don't experiment much.

    Heh, yes, probably, like the TFC Engineer is all overweight and has robot legs right? So, he probably won't recognize him, so the TF2 Engie will think he killed his father. "I'll never join you, you killed my father." "No Dell, I AM your father." "NNNOOOOOO!!!!"

    Oh wow. They are actually forcing people to use them or they will be deleted. Valve's getting desperate for money. At least the recipe is WAY more reasonable.
  20. Ah, how a I missed you Nostalgia theme. so ugh, what are we gonna do with all the joke threads we made?

    Apparently, the Schadenfreude taunt now randomly activates instead of the normal taunt. Probably just for today, I'm assuming. Also on an update related note: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=244861309 Thanks Valve.

    TF2 is updating for me right now, I hope it's not an April Fools joke. If so, that's just downright cruel Volvo.
