    Yeah, I really like birds of prey too. I went through a real "birds of prey fan" phase as a kid.

    I like animals and have always been very interested in them, but particularly in cats and birds of prey.

    Its listed on the OP of the episode thread and in the spoiler policy thread.

    (7) New TCW episodes air 9:30pm EST on Teletoon on Canada. After that folks will begin discussing their reviews and thoughts which will likely include spoilers. To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid new episode threads until you have had your chance to view the episode.

    Well the article you linked got me really excited given its title of "New Republic: Obsidian Actively Pitching New Star Wars" I thought it would be set 11ABY - 19ABY. Now I'm sad. :(

    There needs to be more New Republic games. The only ones I can think of are Jedi Academy, Jedi Outcast, and one level of Rogue Squadron set during Operation Shadow Hand.

    Thanks for your concern. It's been snowing for the past few hours. Nothing too bad. School closed at 4 and though it'll reopen tomorrow, Saturday classes are cancelled. I figure if I made it through Sandy unscathed, little Nemo will be a piece of cake. My folks near Boston say it's about the same there, for now at least.

    Nice new avatar :D.
    EDIT
    Sonny (9 minus a few days) wants to start p&p RPGing. Star Wars, of course. He wants to play a Padawan during the Clone Wars, I'm to GM. What is he doing to prepare himself for the feat? He's reading the DK book 'Mysteries of the Jedi' over and over again :D.

    Blackman jumped ship halfway through Force Unleashed 2, he left before the Disney deal probably started.

    Yeah, he jumped ship BECAUSE of Force Unleashed 2. I somehow doubt that he was up for what became of that project.

    Well when your pet project is going to be run into the ground with development time slashed and the sequel canned before you've even finished the second game, I'd leave too.

    Just saw the new episode of Spartacus and overall, I'd say that it was a lot better than the previous episode. While it was disappointing that Crassus and Caesar were absent, I understand that they simply weren't vital to the episode's plot line. The entire episode dealt with two things: food and shades of grey. The character that highlight these shades of grey would be Crixus, who made two Roman prisoners of the city fight over a loaf of bread, gladiator-style. The characters that highlight the issue of food would be the Cilician pirates that appear a quarter through the episode. The pirates can smuggle food for the city in exchange for coin. With them, we are shone that Spartacus is willing to consort with thieves and murderers to get what he wants and thus, the lines between good and evil blur even more.

    I also liked how there was more focus on Gannicus and Tiberius this time around. Gannicus, like Spartacus, is shone to be more level-headed and, in way, more compassionate. He chose not to **** that brunette, who as he said was merely a "child" and you could tell at the end of the episode that he didn't believe in Naevia's story that his friend was conspiring against them. Its a pity that he had his friend was needlessly killed by Naevia. It should be interesting to watch the ramifications of his death.

    As for Tiberius, I couldn't help but root for him. I mean, yeah, he's a cocky little ****head but at the same time, its that he's trying so hard and yet failing equally as hard. Overall, its kind of depressing that at the end of the day, he's just an insecure boy trying to impress his father. He gets talked down by Caesar in front of everyone(although he did show some backbone in shutting him up) and then fails in killing Spartacus as he's making a deal with the Cilician pirates in a preemptive attack. Speaking of the attack, he might have stood a chance if the pirates hadn't started shooting balls of fire at them. I'm guessing the pirates will work as Spartacus's navy from now on. What I liked about the battle is that it showed Tiberius as a pretty good fighter and one that is courageous; even after he had suffered a side-wound, he still wanted to fight the ex-slaves and had to be dragged away by his friend. At least he's got balls.

    Overall, a great episode and I have so far found this season up to par with the first two seasons, though maybe I'm overrating it by doing that.

    Kids, don't use non OEM chargers on your PC laptops, M'kay? Let me tell you a story about a sad student who blew his motherboard up last night. Fortunately I recovered the HDD and gave him everything on it and loaned him an old mothballed laptop I got. However the laptop which is an older Gateway and has a crap ton of screws to remove is probably going to be a total lost. I'm having a hard time finding the motherboard at reasonable cost.

    Shouldn't the moral of the story be "don't use gateway computers?" :p

    Thanks to eBay, there's really no reason not to use OEM chargers these days..

    Really its just as bad to take any consumer laptop apart unless its Dell or HP who do provide good assembly guides and its gotten worse since many don't have access panels on the bottom anymore.

    It felt good to get called a hero by a stranger in the end although it sucked to have this dropped in my lap on Friday night. One of the biggest Universities in Florida is next to where I work and the guy heard from my friend at work I fix computers (I've never said that! I just happen to know some stuff). He and my buddy met me at my car in the parking lot when I was leaving with a laptop in his hand and pleaded with me to get his stuff back. Poor guy. This is also a good place to remind people to back up their stuff. Fortunately the harddrive is in good shape. I put it in a enclosure and took him a loaner.

    Spent the day doing manual labour... Destroying old bed, tidying room, building new bed, re-arranging room. Exhausting. Pretty sure that's more work than I've done in many years.

    What is a spoiler?
    (1) All LFL, Cartoon Network, theforce.net official released information/images, trailers, and clips are not considered spoiler material.​

    (2) A spoiler will be considered future material not from official sources listed. Speculation does not equal a spoiler.​
    (3) A spoiler is serious plot details or a character death. Those must always be spoilered or edited out.​

    (2) Discussion in the actual episode thread will be limited to that specific episode, NOT future episodes, past episodes may be referenced.​

    (3) New TCW episodes air 9:30pm EST on Teletoon in Canada. After that folks will begin discussing their reviews and thoughts which will likely include spoilers. To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid the thread until you have had your chance to view.​

    (4) Spoilers like character deaths, appearances, and major plot details must be spoiler tagged in the new episode thread prior to the episode airing.​

    (5) Do not post any preview video clips from the individual episode in the episode threads.​

    (6) Official episode commentary may be posted in the episode thread.​

    (7) New TCW episodes air 9:30pm EST on Teletoon on Canada. After that folks will begin discussing their reviews and thoughts which will likely include spoilers. To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid new episode threads until you have had your chance to view the episode.​


    Official "The Clone Wars" Series Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed) - rules
    (1) The TCW General Discussion Thread (spoilers) will be open to any "official" information discussion. Posting trailers, preview/episode clips for new individual episodes (i.e., things like IGN where they give us a 2:00 minute part of the show, often spoiling key scenes); is permitted in the TCW General Thread.​

    (2) Heavy plot related spoilers and stuff like character deaths for future episodes should be spoilered out in the TCW general thread.​
    (3) If you intend to be spoiler free this thread should be avoided.​

    (2) Spoiler tags are not required in this thread and everything is far game.​

    (3) if you don't want to be spoiled, stay out!​

    (2) Discussion of new episodes not allowed in these threads.​


    TCW Image Caption Thread (spoiler images!) - and game threads - spoiler rules
    (1) The caption thread is allowed to contain screen caps from future episodes.​

    (2) Use common sense with game threads.​


    Spoiler/ non spoiler guidelines for new threads
    (1) When creating a new thread with intention to talk about a character or plot where the future may be a concern. Be sure to specify spoiler or non spoiler in the thread title.​

    (2) if spoiler is not specified in the title then no spoilers are allowed and tags must be used. Posts that do no have tags will be edited.​

    (3) If spoilers are specified then tags will not be required in that thread and everything is fair game.​

    I remember getting thanked on my wall by one of you. I do my best to enforce it as I can.

    However I am only human and bad with spoilers. I am the main mod always available to handle things and I'm just not going to see everything all the time and I'm going to make mistakes. I wish I were more perfect, but heh, I'm as far from perfect as any human being has ever been and for now you are stuck with me most of the time guys.

    I thought this was what the masses wanted when we created it but apparently not so much. Why don't I pick a committee of members who would like to draft a member created spoiler policy we can all agree on. Can I select five of you? PM me. I'll double post this in the disco.
