Re: Imperium of Man Vs Galactic Empire [Mass combat, Elites conflit, Space supremacy]
Well, Rogue, he also doesn't give the Imps a single Emperor , Oberon, or Armageddon-class while stacking the Empire's deck with virtually all Star Destroyers. As if he's trying to make the Imperium lose. And, where are all the commissars? They do have a single battleship at least, the Retribution c...

That site is horrible. The comments hidden underneath layers of comments and further down just makes it down right terrible to try and read.

Re: Sudden layoff

Re: Where can I find better anime?
I've really liked the Gundam Iron Blooded orphans as well. Never was a big Gundam fan but it seems to have the mix of action to everything else just about right. It's not entirely over the top in it's mecha designs either. Decent mecha show to check out if you're into it would be Full Metal Panic. I...

Re: Something I've Always Wondered—
I don't think it would have any effect. The planet of Kamino is technically an extra-galatic system located in the Rishi maze, a dwarf galaxy outside the main Star Wars galaxy.
Several Jedi travelled there and seemed to have suffered no ill effects or sudden increase in powers.

Re: Where can I find better anime?
"Lupin the Third: The Italian Adventure" was probably my favourite watch of the last year or so. Damn fine art style and decent story that has a good mix of seriousness and humour. It's Lupin, so it's pretty much been a staple of anime since the late 60's/early 70's. " Gintama "...

That's the problem with most multiplayer-centric games these days. They want to you buy the season pass, which costs as much as the damn game.

I believe that, to a degree, Vader's suit was made deliberately crude by Palpatine's Orders specifically to keep him in check. Zor Pretty sure that came up in "Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader", http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Lord:_The_Rise_of_Darth_Vader. If I recall correctly, I ...

Re: Terrorisim Attacks in Europe
As a UK citizen I'm disturbed to see how the majority of those pre-millennium casualties are British. Were there no terror attacks in 1993? :? Can't comment on 1993, but I suspect if you broke down 'British' by English, Irish and so forth, you'd see that the majority were Irish. I could be wrong ab...

Which kind of sucks, cause I liked Talespin myself.

What would you consider the standard armament of an Imperial Knight to be? I've seen great variation and had considered that armament was entirely up to the operator.

Wasn't the base at Yavin IV subsequently invaded and destroyed in rather short order anyways?
It wasn't instant but it didn't take long for the Empire to respond with overwhelming force.
