Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

It's not a paradox that he managed to channel Star Wars since he has admitted several times that when he was making Star Trek he really wanted to be making Star Wars.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

I enjoyed TFA and would rank it somewhere around ROTJ. It succeeded in making me like the new generation of characters and I think that's really important for the project of, for lack of a better term, rehabilitating Star Wars. I did think that it made the Star Wars Universe seem smaller and I think...

Re: Assassin's Creed III

It's probably too early to tell but it does seem less involved in magic gimics. I don't know if that's reflected in ACIII or just in the Vita Version. Liberations also does away with the Framing story almost entirely. The conciet is that it is a commerical entertainment release of the Animus technol...

Re: Assassin's Creed III

I haven't had the opportunity to start my copy of 3 yet but I'm hoping to get to it over this weekend. What I have been doing is playing Assassin's Creed III Liberation on the Vita. There is no chance of a thread about that game going anywhere so I'm going to post some impressions here. I'm about 2 ...

Re: Star Wars: The Old Republic (The Thread)

Ok, I think I made a mistake here. I'm a level 12 Smuggler (Scoundrel) and my gf is a Level 11 Jedi Sentinel (I think sentinel, whichever one has 2 lightsabers) and we just can not beat the first flashpoint (Eselles). Do we just suck or did I pick a crap class specialization?

Hello all, A friend of mine has decided he wants a board game for Christmas. He is a fan of games like Acension and Descent, but wants something that can be played in about an hour. He's also looking for something that can be played by 2 players and will be approachable enough that his non-supergeek...

Re: SKYRIM: Let's kill some Dragons!

Interesting, the quest objective glitched for me and only gave me the marker for the mage so I went back to him the first time I tried the quest. Then I went back and reloaded because I wanted the Priestess as a follower and finished the quest with her. I did not realize choosing one side or the oth...

Re: If you were a Jumper...

Regarding abilities, we see a side character transport a doubledecker bus and the main character transport a portion of a house, 1 room I think. This is presented as being the upper limit of stuff you can take and is difficult. I don't think we ever see a distance limit presented but their jumping i...

So The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim comes out in the States tomorrow. I know of a few places that are doing midnight launches tonight. IGN has given it the expected 9.5 tongue bath but do admit that it is glitchy and the NPCs still talk like mannequins. I'm on the fence but a few of the changes from Obli...

Re: The Fruits of My Labors - Finally got a new handheld

Good call on the PSP if you are (obviously) a jrpg fan. At this point in the life cycle there are a ton of great games for the system. Aside from the Final Fantasy and Kindgom Hearts stuff you have picked up I can recommend Tactics Ogre and the 2 Disgaea ports. Both Disgaea ports added a huge amount...
