I want to see a website where you type in your occupation and then it appends "friends", "mom", "society" etc., takes the 1st google images search result, and pops that into the image. :)

That's a great idea, Steve. Do eet!

Although despite my thinking about the future, I just spent half an hour loading and reviewing reports from 10/27/2010 instead of today, so maybe I should also think about the present.

Looks photoshop to me. I can see the pixels from here. :D

AJ, no, it's legit. My staff has tools that we can use to check these things. We looked into it. There are a lot of fake photos on the Internet but this one is real.

Hmmm. I swear there was pixel that was off on this one. Well, ok then. If you say so. I TRUST YOU.

I remember being so excited. We bought the full soundtrack and all that. It was alright, but yeah, it didn't recreate youthful experiences. I still love the score though.

I liked parts, didn't like others. On balance, I didn't hate them, but am in no rush to watch them again. I felt like the whole thing lingered on stuff I wasn't interested in, and glossed over the stuff that I was.

I knew from the very start with the behind-the-scenes website stuff that this was the Star Wars of my nephews, not mine. Take away the nostalgia and the hype and in my opinion Episode 4-6 aren't great cinematic masterpieces when compared to the full catalogue of films ever made, but they are hyper-cult.

i didn't care for how most of the prequels looked like computer games. EP3 was possibly the worst, which is strange.

I was indifferent. Although I thought Darth Maul was cool. That little boy is annoying though.

If it wasn't for the kid I could stomach episode I.. I'm still trying to decide if I can get past him to see the movie in 3d.
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
I enjoyed Ep3, but I really disliked both Ep1 and Ep2 -- mostly due to Jar Jar, Jake Lloyd, odd pacing (such as the overlong pod racing), poor acting, general buffoonery, midi chlorians, and a bunch of other stuff. Of course, I loved Ep4 and Ep5 as a kid, but I really didn't like Ep6. And when I rewatched Ep4 a few years ago, I didn't really think it held up that well. But I still prefer 4-6 by a mile over 1-3. It's really hard to overcome the nostalgia bias I have for them.
- Stephen Mack
I enjoyed Amidala too, but probably for different reasons than Derrick... Actually I liked her in the first 2 movies where she was an ass kicker, in the third one she got all timid an weird.
- Joe "Brrzzzzzzt" Pierce
Thank you. I really love the Star Wars sequels, mostly because those were the first ones I saw, and Anakin/Vader is my favorite.
- Colette
I liked them. I'm wasn't a huge Star Wars fan going in so I didn't have many preconceived notions about how things should be or how those films should tie into the previous ones. I just enjoyed them as movies in general. They were amazing visually, sounded incredible and had great music. The acting was just okay but the same could be said for the originals. I enjoyed them.

I'm not a fan, but I don't hate them.

Any cutsie-poo characters in Star Wars annoy me.
- Mo Kargas
Of the prequels, I liked Phantom Menace, but the didn't like Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith. Of course you're claim doesn't hold for me, I saw the first trilogy during the 20th anniversary remastered theatrical releases, and then the rest in theaters between the ages of 7 and 15. The sequels are still better. I <3 Jar Jar.

My biggest issue is they started looking way way over processed, which sucks. The environments and effects just started feeling sterile.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
That's the thing, Joe. Lucas and Speilberg have been pushing for 3D tech for a while. If you look at Episode 1, 2, 3 and 4 (all the films Lucas directed) they have elements in them set for 3D, be it tie fighters, trench runs, pod racing, Geonosis battle etc. Empire and Return don't have that many 'coming at ya' elements in them. Lucas talked about 3D back in 1996 (3 years before Menance).

My favorite part is this: "... will also impact Android mobile phone users, who are required to log in to Google accounts when they activate their phones."
I say this as an iPhone user, of course.

Yeah, because Apple doesn't require you to sign in for their services. iTunes, iCloud, etc. ;)

Thankfully, Google Apps users can still use their admin dashboard to disable Google Profile support. I suspect that they'll disable that someday and shove it down our throats as well.

"I'm just going to assume these are real because 1) they match the official promo pics Lego has been releasing recently for their upcoming LotR sets, and 2) they look fucking fantastic. God, the amount of unique personality they've packed into each little Hobbit is amazing. You know, it's just dawned on me that in the very near future I'll be able to purchase a Christopher Lee as Saruman Lego figure. ... ...please excuse me, as I need to go change my underpants.

"Sea monsters. People are continually fascinated by them. You've got those who believe fervently that there are still undiscovered monsters of the deep, and then you have those who wonder what the monsters we've already sighted...really are. Did someone really see Nessie? Or did they really see something else? And if they saw something else, what is it likely that they saw? Well, how about a whale. And his penis."

"The authors note that the sailors in question were actually acquainted with whales, and could identify most of them on sight. Whether they were blinded by the...glory...and it confused their identification, or whether the animal sighted really IS some sort of new sea monster with a long and phallic appendage in unclear. After all, this is a sort-of scientific analysis of an eyewitness...

That's about the right thing for a game. You can see this progression from Ultima 4 to Ultima 7, which all took place in the same world, Britannia. In Ultima 4 the towns were 1 block and the distance between towns could be 50 blocks. In Ultima 6 the towns got larger and the relative distance between towns got smaller. In Ultima 7 the towns took up over a third of the map.
- Amit Patel
Games should (IMO) exaggerate the interesting parts and compress the uninteresting parts. Towns in Ultima and Skyrim are small — tens of buildings, not thousands — and wilderness is compressed even more.
- Amit Patel
Transport Tycoon is similar — a train can be as long as a town, and distances between towns can be 2-3 town widths instead of hundreds of town widths. It's far more interesting, but less realistic, to play this way.
- Amit Patel
I'm convinced it's larger than Oblivion but a friend of mine thinks that it's smaller. I remember walking from Whiterun to all the way up to that monastery at the top of the mountain and it felt like I was walking forever.
- Akiva
It feels bigger than Oblivion to me because I can't see across the map. There are mountains in the middle. In Oblivion I could see the main city from almost everywhere.
- Amit Patel
Amit, my friend made that exact point today. The roads are more circuitous so it feels bigger because you can't just walk directly across the map. You have to go around things.
