St. Jimmy Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 @ HerbieZ: you have no idea... @ Jae: Yeah, and his voice.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Just purchased this! XD And I rented this \o/
Jeff Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Why they don't use the theatrical movie posters for the box art on SW dvds, I will never know.
Mav Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Commander, how much did the DVDs cost you all together, I need to go pick them up
Emperor Devon Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I don't know who exactly this Ming fellow is, but he looks like a cool dictator.
RedHawke Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 I don't know who exactly this Ming fellow is, but he looks like a cool dictator. He was a bad mo-fo before it became trendy!
The Sith'ari Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 What exactly is a mo-fo? And I wanna know who this is too, he looks a bit Chinese in those pics. Can RH please explain?
HerbieZ Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Uhh it's a tad sweary go to wikipedia.com and type it in. Answers to the world there my friend.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Commander, how much did the DVDs cost you all together, I need to go pick them up I few cents under $80 individually. Though, I do suggest you purchase them on Best Buy this week since they are about quite cheap. And I comes with a tin. Otherwise, it will cost you a bit more if you go to the stores. Though, I hear Best Buy has a good deal on them this week.
RedHawke Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Just purchased this! XD Same here! Got them tonight... at Toys-R-Us for $19.99 each and I got a $5.00 TRU gift card for each one ($15 total), so that means I payed around $45 for all 3! And I wanna know who this is too' date=' he looks a bit Chinese in those pics. Can RH please explain?[/quote'] Here is a couple links with some info about the 1980 Flash Gordon movie, Ming the Merciless is the Villan in that movie and the whole of the the Flash Gordon series. And some specifics about Ming The Merciless... on wikipedia, and another site.
Mav Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Same here! Got them tonight... at Toys-R-Us for $19.99 each and I got a $5.00 TRU gift card for each one ($15 total), so that means I payed around $45 for all 3! Bah I got my copies at Wal-Mart tonight, I paid about $16 each, except I had a Wal-Mart gift card so all three were about $36 total I think
RedHawke Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 Bah I got my copies at Wal-Mart tonight, I paid about $16 each, except I had a Wal-Mart gift card so all three were about $36 total I think To go into a Wal-Mart where I live takes you down two steps... Physically and Socially! They were supposed to build a new, larger, and nicer, Wal-Mart here but the people turned it down because of the neighbors N.I.M.B.Y. fears...
Mav Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 They were supposed to build a new, larger, and nicer, Wal-Mart here but the people turned it down because of the neighbors N.I.M.B.Y. fears... NIMBY... *goes to Wikipedia* oh I get it now... lol, Wal-Mart is pretty rediculous, where I am in AZ, there are two within 5-10 minutes of where I live, and they are going to add another one about 20 minutes away, well 10 minutes if I drive... ridiculous, back on-topic, my roommate also bought this from Wal-Mart, so I might steal it and give it a try: I dunno should I?
Astrotoy7 Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 What exactly is a mo-fo? Can RH please explain? LMAO Ming The Merciless is a character from a very old space adventure show called Flash Gordon. Star Wars itself owes alot of its inpiration to Flash Gordon. Before George Lucas actually ended up with "The Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Skywalker" he called the project "my Flash Gordon movie" for quite a few years He stole the opening scroll idea from FG mtfbwya
Commander Obi-Wan Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 Damn. I just just return them and re-buy them at Toys R US. But, then again I may just wait to see what is happening with the 30th anniversary set, too.
Jae Onasi Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 He was a bad mo-fo before it became trendy! What exactly is a mo-fo? LMAO Never use acronyms that you don't want to have to explain to those who don't speak Slanglish. But it is the internet... Search Engine anyone? -RH
Emperor Devon Posted September 15, 2006 Posted September 15, 2006 I dunno should I? It can't compare with a good RPG, but it's worth a play. I didn't like the maps as much as the ones in the first game, but everything else is better.
Astrotoy7 Posted September 16, 2006 Author Posted September 16, 2006 I havent got one of these yet, as they havent been released(due very soon), but am drooling to get one. The Asus r2h mini tablet pc.... sporting full xp(tablet edition), wifi, satnav, digital tv tuner, 1.3mp cam/webcam, can also make sandwiches It also has the very sci-fi fingerprint recognition security feature. it would be ideal for uni, and as a long time pda and (intermittment)tablet pc user i love the stylus handwriting interface of xp tablet/windows mobile At under 800g. it is half the weight of my blasted laptop. mmmm.....tablets rest assured, I will be back to show mine off when I do get it mtfbwya
HerbieZ Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I model make so i thought id veer off my NX-01 for the moment and make a phaser because i only have two TNG ones so i wanted a Kirky phaser. Can't wait to paint it. Gloss black with matte black handle and brushed metal parts, yum.
Astrotoy7 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Nice work Herbie I can barely put snap kits together mtfbwya
CSI Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Well, I'm a graphic designer, but not a hardcore gamer, plus, I have 3 computers: Computer 1: Pentium D 3.4G Dual Core 2G Memory nVidia Quadro FX 1400 (Or is it 1500?) 128M (Don't underestiminate it, it's truly amazing!) ATI Radeon X1300, 256M (It works, but I never use it, just put it in my computer) 2 19" LCD Flat Panel Display: 1 Dell and 1 ViewSonic 600G Hard Drive: 1 400G, 1 200G All-in-1 Multi-media Card Reader Wireless Keyboard and Wireless Laser Mouse, My favorite 1 DVD-RW Drive (Not Lightscribe, but my another computer does) Computer 2: (It is my worst one) Intel Pentium 4 3.0 G 512M Memory 400G Hard Drive Intergrated Graphic Card 128M (Believe me, you don't want to hear it) 17" LCD Flat Panel Lightscribe DVD-RW (I never use it, simply didn't got a chance) Computer 3: A laptop. Intel Centrino Duo, 2.8G 512M Memory nVidia Gforce Go 7400 (128M)(A good card) 60G HDD 13.3"LCD Flat Panel Intergrated Cam Fingerprint Detector DVD-RW (Dual Layer, but it didn't say it's lightscribe, so I don't think it is)
RedHawke Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 My favorite style of Trek Phaser right there.
HerbieZ Posted September 20, 2006 Posted September 20, 2006 Il post another picture when i have put it together and painted it.
Astrotoy7 Posted September 20, 2006 Author Posted September 20, 2006 Well, I'm a graphic designer, but not a hardcore gamer, *nVidia Quadro FX 1400 (Or is it 1500?) 128M (Don't underestiminate it, it's truly amazing!) *ATI Radeon X1300, 256M (It works, but I never use it, just put it in my computer) *nVidia Gforce Go 7400 (128M)(A good card) John, this thread is mainly to talk about cool new stuff you've bought/acquired or would like... as for your graphics cards... *A Quadro card.... ONLY a graphics designer would rate the quadro fx card as worth the pcb its printed on hehehe I've met CGI artists who rabbit on about them with nothing but reverence. Of course, they are of no use to a gamer or anyone else ! *GeForce FX "GO" (mobile) come with utterly rubbish driver support. Some GPUs nevere even get updated !!!! The ATI card you listed is the only one I would use if you gave it to me for free I'll stick to my 7950 GX2... I may go quad sli eventually but really there are no games that will push the gx2 at the rez I play at(1360x768 - due to my larger monitor size ) but enough gfx talk.... back to the "cool stuff" !! mtfbwya
