Welcome in, newbie BD'ers. Now get Band of Brothers, Wall-E, KungFu Panda, and Iron Man stat!
-
Someone should start an MW club. I already used my club creation for another forum but would join an MW club.
-
Download the Home theme is the most common. Next, merge your PSN and PSU accounts.

I have a beater I can do for things like that. And a nice car for daily driving.

When it's open, it will get WAY better. There were already game and vendor areas and alot more clothing that was available. That was removed so they could do the load testing, etc. Potential is nigh unlimited. They obviously hope to make money with microtransactions. Want to wear branded/licensed gear, for example, you'll need to pay $1.25 or something for that Nike hat or Air Jordans or a Lakers shirt. etc etc.

Anyone else get their Home invite?
-
Still haven't managed to catch an ep of this yet.

Are trekkies that old? I figured there would be more (or at least as many) of the 20-30 somethings who liked TNG or DS9 or voyager and maybe a smallish enterprise clique? None of them I would imagine care as much? Except for making their stuff look primitive.

Been awhile since I've bought any 360 games. Mostly all over the PS3 these days....
-
Supposedly lots of $10 Blu-ray gonna be out there. Time to catch up on some of the titles I've skipped!
-
Took me 3 months to even plug my 360 in after moving... is there any point in me getting the connection up for the NXE when I have no intention of going beyond my silver membership?
-
I'd have been happy if Sony never put one in there. Neither they nor MSFT will ever be able to match the prices from NewEgg, Mwave, Frys, and the like...

Yo, big H, I apparently got deep under your skin and didn't really intend that. Might not mean anything, but I apologize if I inadvertently yanked your chain too hard... never had any intentions of acrimony. I submit to your wisdom on all things SW and that Lucas is horrible at scripts, writing, and everything else outside of his mastery at cinematography and SFX. Peace, Thalion. Yup, you got it. That's apparently the main reason for most of the changes, most likely: so they look cool. The iBridge still looks more like a cell phone/gadget store in Akihabara or Chinatown or than any sort of starship command center (a "realistic" reboot ala BSG would make it more like a submarine, if anything. Get that cramped utilitarian feel where every bit of space is used and volume should be just as valuable as mass and power (think of all the wasted air in that space above their heads on the bridge that needs to be oxygenated and heated and that they could be using for storage, piping, etc).

Anakin's modified is definitely one of the best fighters out there. I remember I had drifted from all the toys and EU in general when the Clone Wars line was coming out. Mostly SW'ed out in the post AOTC period... but saw that toy on the back of the cards of one of the figures and knew it would be cool. Probably the best product out of that line along with the super articulated clone. The Delta 2 looks interesting. More logical than just having an R2 head mounted to the ship like the Delta 7. Where's the Delta 2 supposed to go with the Delta 7 in development? Number wise, it would seem to be before... but shows elements of both the Delta 7 and ROTS fighter, and it's real life chronology would indicate it came between AOTC and ROTS?

Stripped every single one of them bitches when I put in the 160GB. Used needle nose pliers to break them loose. Used my own screws so the upgrade to 320GB was easy.

I've been to 3 separate Targets and all have empty $4.99 pegs. :mad:

You don't read too well these days, do you? I despise all reboots as unncessary and posted to that effect already. Didn't like it in BSG. Didn't particularly like it Batman, even (Batman Begins doesn't necessarily have to invalidate the other movies, either, Even the Dark Knight doesn't). Mostly, reboots are the results of lazy writers and producers who don't have the imagination to do an original concept but want to parasite a brand name for the marketing goons and bean counters. I'm not particularly fond of retcons but find them preferable to a reboot for a variety of reasons (most of which I already listed). Your problem with SW has never been retcons as much as your self-described raped childhood. This isn't going anywhere, though, so there's no point in continuing a point by point. You should probably tone down the defensive vitriol, though... it's unbecoming to someone claiming the name of the son of the House of Hador. Well maybe a whiner like Turin. Is Bana gonna be the only one? The tattoos have to be more defying than the odd forehead widget, so maybe they'll retcon Balance of Terror with a scene like "THAAAAT'S what that guy was!!11!one!1" He doesn't have the "V" brow that TNG and beyond? gave the Romulans? Did Enterprise do that to them, too? The only thing in TOS that made the Romulans different from Vulcans was the Roman-inspired uniforms, no? Looks to me that since the corporate line is 'no reboot' then they're going to with some time travel adjustments (and possibly their undoing). new TOS series? No way they'd get half of the ensemble cast to do a TV show. Maybe a movie sequel or three clause in the contract depending on box office take...
-
Yeah, I downloaded that, too. Better persective on the iBridge. What are those microphone / lava lamp looking things? They're red on the ship with Kirk and Sylar... but clear on the one with the corporate guy from iRobot in command. Maybe that's the red alert indicator?
-
It's not ironic, it's a little something called consistency, though I can't expect those of you with the traumatic raped childhoods to know better. Trek has always consistently mangled and continuity was never it's strong suit, unlike Lucasfilm which always enforced it's orthodoxy to its canon on it's authors, though they've always held a certain point of view clause. Of course, your ilk have always had their head in the sand and Empire turned out the way it was DESPITE the efforts of Lucas. You can thank the unlikely coalition of Marsha, Kasdan, Kirchner. Lucas wanted Empire as campy as New Hope and Phantom Menace... he just had to make some compromises to get that done. He doesn't have to make compromises anymore and hasn't for some time. Best source on this was the "Secret History of Star Wars" but it's author apparently is trying to publish it or some such as it doesn't appear to be available to download anymore. Your perfect world will fortunately never exist, however. Meanwhile Lucas will always be laughing his way to the bank. Anyhoo, remains to be seen if this is indeed a reboot or not. If it's typical Trek, everything will be undone at the end and everything will be the way it was. Or not. Trek had already done this storyline supposedly (I think in Voyager?)...
-
Duke and Baroness? Wtf. That's not necessary... -
Given all the reviews and my ambivalence about the increasing prevalence of James Bourne, I'll be waiting on the Blu-ray.
-
TOS (real TOS not this reboot rubbish) > DS9 war stuff > all the rest of the trek drek.
-
LIked the way the space fights look but the iBridge still looks like more like a mobile phone shop than the command center of a starship.
-
Ah, never knew that scene was there so threw in the Blu-ray again. I would have preferred the Governator as Nick Fury about 10 years ago when it was first rumored.
-
Eh, I'll just hang onto the DVD of the EE's and get them on Blu-ray when they're out.
