    Neither would I... in fact, that would be something of a selling point.

    However, I have the feeling that what we're seeing is Mark Hamill meeting a Ventress at Star Wars Weekends. When I was there last weekend we spotted Aurra Sing, and I asked the gf if there were Ventresses as well, and she confirmed that there were.

    That is simply amazing. I am unfamiliar with The Witcher series, and I am rather behind on gaming in general, since I don't really have the money to keep on the latest and greatest.

    [face_love] I love how he can just snap into the voice at the drop of a hat. And how even James Arnold Taylor gave him a standing ovation.

    It is just a costumer, yeah, I saw Mark's tweet about it. Besides, wouldn't Ventress be like, 80+ by the time of the ST? Alien biology or not, that's still a long time.

    Also, for everyone's Marvel Movie Universe UpdateTM, Ant-Man has two new members of the production crew. Peyton Reed, the director of Yes Man, The Break Up and Bring It On, will direct it and they have Adam Mckay, the Anchorman guy, who's apparently too busy to direct it but still wants to help out, is "contributing to the film's script". Which tells me that Wright wanted to do something with it that Marvel wasn't happy with, hence his departure, and now they're changing it. Michael Douglas, who'll apparently play an aged Hank Pym, called the happenstance "very disappointing" in a recent interview. We have a teaser paragraph as well.

    Aww hell ya, big fan of the Witcher franchise. One of the few games I'm genuinely looking forward to. Love the setting, the different kingdoms, the look and feel of the different cultures, etc. Can't wait :D

    These pics of Mark, I'm starting to wonder...

    Will Hawaiian shirts be canon in the NU?

    I may cut it some slack if they are.

    The NU New Jedi Order all wear Hawaiian shirts instead of brown robes.

    And Birkenstocks instead of boots. Luke wears black knee socks with his.

    I just assumed that Mark Hamill's clothes in the promo pic with Mickey was his costume for Episode VII.

    Yeah that scene always bothered me not because of the hot chocolate but because C-3PO doesn't like Lando even though he was the only one that trusted Lando in The Empire Strikes Back. What's the deal?

    Inconceivable, its the only word that can adequately describe what Disney is doing.

    I decided to start training one of my Zoroarks tonight. Of course, that training includes lots of Amie time.

    Zoroark's face when you talk to him:

    After 2 years of it sitting on my shelf, I am finally watching my season 1 Game of Thrones BlueRays. This will be my first time actually watching GoT as well.

    I know you hate everything, but season 1 was pretty faithful.


    Aside from certain complaints I won't voice bc he's not indicated how far into the season he is.

    No news yet of when the fourth season begins here. Likely in December. I should write some of my wacky theories down when I still remember them.

    I'm more interested in hearing about the setting and who we're playing than multiplayer stuff :p

    Some Battlefront footage was shown to open EA's confrence. And guess what? More Hoth! :D They even visited the original film site to make sure that it was accurate to the film!

    EDIT: BioWare is developing a new Mass Effect game, untitled, but they did show Shepard so... who knows? Also teased a new IP, brand-new not a Star Wars tie-in, nothing about the SW game they're working on at all.

    EDIT 2: Mirror's Edge 2. FINALLY. New look for Faith, new parkour moveset, cleaned-up, simplified and sped-up combat.
