Trying to keep an open mind anyway.

I'm looking forward to it. Interested to see a story directly within the OT timeframe.

I'm so hyped!

This has been interesting reading. Personally, I think archiving and consolidating is the way to go. The forums and site(s) need to be sized for the current population, and free to grow in whatever direction the community takes. The number of sites and the current organization of the forums are a product of the era and what was appropriate at that time to support of the volume of activity. At this point keeping the forums as they are needlessly keeps the different parts of the community separate. Consolidating the forums I think would help get the site closer to a critical mass. As well that would allow the site to more easily grow in the directions then will be relevant in the future. As for me. I just pop in every now and then to see what is going on and what old friends have done the same. The fact that a lot of us old guard still do that at least I think is a testament to how strong the community was back then. So I have an interest in trying to turn the site back into a growth direction, and I'm willing to invest some time in it if we can decide on the direction.

What did you have in mind?

Very sad news. The end of an incredible run. Saw a quote that summed it up well: "If you have kids, they know Christopher Lee. If you have grandparents, they know Christopher Lee too."

Ok, I'm all in now. I'm like the nerd at the high school dance who is going across the floor to ask the pretty girl to dance. I might get rejected and my emotions trampled all over at the end, but I'm going for broke. I'm expecting this to be amazing. Also, I've seen the term chrometrooper being thrown around which I like.

Do You Remember Love is probably the greatest Macross animation spectacle there is from a visual point of you. And lots of Itano Circuses that are homaged in the SW clip. Time for another Macross binge watch

I'd by that in a second.

Yeah I'm picking that up too...

TK! Great to see you!!

Love it just as much now as then.

I WILL READ NOTHING. SEE NOTHING. I WILL BE...UNSPOILED.

Static camera for the end Falcon run... (This BBCode requires its accompanying plugin to work properly.) An improvement?

Really? I thought it looked great...

I know it is, but that hasn't stopped some people from holding out hope. This was definitely a nail in the coffin. I'm still taking SW Legacy as canon though

I'm not completely sold either, but on the other hand I kind of like the idea of a European-esque two handed greatsword as something new and unique vs. the traditional katana-esque lightsaber aesthetic. I also really want to see a full shot of the stormtrooper armour. Oh, and in case anyone was wondering the post-ROTJ EU is dead.

Hell me too, and then the Falcon hits the home run ball. Is it bad that I am so stoked right now?

X-Wing and TIE Fighter, hello hello! I still have a joystick so I'm all good.

Baldur's Gate II. Go for the eyes, Boo! GO FOR THE EYES!!

I haven't jumped into this yet. Any reports?

Happy birthday my old friend. LOVE YOU LONG TIME!

Very cool work!

I've been playing around with a new indie game that has just been picked up by Steam. It is very much a spiritual successor to Ace Combat (evening including superweapons and super planes), one of my all-time favorite series. It is currently in alpha state and has some rough edges but is very stable and has lots of great features. Updates are released regularly with new aircraft being added all the time. One really nice things is it is being built with modding in mind. It comes with a mission and skirmish generator, and adding new aircraft and schemes, music, editing stats, and just about everything else is very easy. I've already done a paint pack for it. You can find more about it here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/242130/ I totally recommend it if you like those kinds of games.
