Empire at War
the biggest problem with this game is that the ground combat is horrendus.... it feels more like a game of chess where you can't see the other player and are just shooting in the dark. Plus several units can shoot outside their sight range so...

Comics
well I just got Avengers TPB #2 Sentry... in the back it had about 30 pages of B villians. All are currently escapee's. Also picked up Majestic which was... intersting... it's about a guy who is build with the exact same powers as superman, except he prefers to use fear and authority and gather it around himself. it's done by dc so no copywrite infringement.

Empire at War
selkath didn't make it into the game. and you never EVER blow up sullust. It's one of the only places capable of producing capital ships.

Whatever happened to F.E.A.R ?
the main problem with the story I saw was that you had to find EVERY part of it if you wanted to understand.

Do you prefer the light side or the dark side?
Power makes paranoia. Power breeds a lust for more power. Power=bad. oh and I'm a kinda middle of the road here.

Empire at War
42... but one is an asteroid field. Each one has a DIFFERENT MAP for a ground battle. just a tidbit. and for gabs... and others... BBQ... Gungan style!

Empire at War
a little zappy beam of doom... kills most things in one shot. and yes you can build shipyards in asteroid fields.

"World of Warcraft Teaches the Wrong Things"
just going to add that WoW is seriously not solo friendly... you try to solo you spend more time getting to your corpse than you do actually playing. Wanders back to COH :D!

Bastila vs Mara Jade
Bastilla:ooohhhmmmmm (battle beditation) Mara: Huh.... stupid idiot (smacks bastilla then starts kicking her while she's down)

Bastila vs Mara Jade
EU was made before the love rules, so in NJO they redid all of the rules for the jedi order and made it so you were allowed to love and have children. and Jade was trained enough that she was on par with Luke during the Sarlacc fight. (one of the major plot points in Heir to the Empire is a dream where she snags lukes lightsaber from midair when he tries to grab it.) but the emperor didnt' train her beyond a point because he didn't want her to become a threat to his power base.

Empire at War
I'm happy it doesn't have base building and actual resourse management in ground battles. but it doesn't make for much in the way of a big fight on those puny maps.

Malak Vs. Vader
Malak is underestimated but I think some here also underestimate vader. Vader has a reputation of cruelty and malaise that one doesn't pick up by being a simple thug. Malak picked up the thug type. But vader... well vader had more finesse to his brutality (if you understand what I'm trying to say). Read the radio drama scene in A new hope where vader torchures leia... it's pure cruelty. imagine vader more like a rapier and malak like a broadsword. Revan would be more like a katana. Sidious was just a poisoned pin, and Dukoo would be more like a foil. to the lighting ruling vader, put it this way. vader's grounded... yes he'd pick up the burns but his electronics would be unharmed. If you set these two against eachother I think it would be more like a protracted seige than a battle.

Bastila vs Mara Jade
Zhan's Mara... nobody else can actually write her well enough.
-
just thinking
Ok we've seen the dialogue endings if you make certain people jedi (ie the REALLY EASY ones) but what about if they aren't jedi? do things change?
-
Who Kriea actually could be?
don't forget that one may still refer to onesself as the padawan of master X. So playing with language you could your self the constant padawan of several masters.

HK-50
if hk 50's were put in k1 and with the abilities of Hk in number one... 47 would easily outclass em. Plus if HK 47 had all of his abilites (you know.. the ones you found after repairing him, plus all the other functionality) he could easily smash all the 50's.

Empire at War
in the imperial campaign you do that six times minumum.
