I never watched that dreadful Episode II and only the last parts of Episode III. George Lucas can go fuck himself. Also, him editing the movies AGAIN is just "NOOOOoooooooo!" as Darth Vader now says.

Can't he simply release the first three movies (or "Episode IV, V and VI" if he wishes) in a version without all this shit being added to them? Mos Eisley just gets more junk added to it with every new release. And the "Greedo shoots first" scene is bullshit as well.

Eventually, he will stop.

I'm afraid he won't.

JUst purchase the version you like. I've not bought a boxed set for 15 years. When I get up to a Blu-ray player, I might buy a I-VI set.

The problem is: There isn't a single version that is worth buying. Even the VHS tapes have the "Episode IV" introductions. Which is kind of strange, because I am almost 100% sure that on TV there never was something like that before the movies, only when the new Episodes came out they changed it on TV as well.
The best version would be on Laserdics, I guess. But I don't have any way to play back a Laserdisc.

It's safe to say that Lucas only directed TWO good movies: The first Star Wars and American Graffiti. No, he did NOT direct on Star Wars - Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars - Return of the Jedi.

I think it's more sad when the gaming community says that Star Wars : The Old Republic will challenge WoW for dominance of the market. It's not got a hope, as with most MMOs.

As I'm not interested in WoW or any other MMORPG at the moment I really don't care. :P

You finding a way to get that one deposit back?

I was there when the redesign launched and I voted on stuff before the servers fell over. Why shouldn't I have gotten the full compliment of experience?

That's why you needed to stay up that night and made sure your EXP did increase. It came back at 2:30AM.

Pfft - I had to be up at 0700 to get ready for work. I'll cite precedent that they did it for Evark, so why not for loveable old Coop?

Whatever, bring her to me.

I've spoken to her - Gagsy is refusing to come out of her cave, the General Troglodyte that she is. I even tried baiting her with marshmallows.

Baaaah, I'll just see if I can poke her on MSN.

Now we both know that's not the sort of poke that you're really thinking about.

I kinda like the new design. It's not perfect and there are bugs to iron out, but there pretty much always are. Even with beta testing, you just can't catch everything.

Coop, you're the captain of a cricket team? For real? I don't know anything about other than what I've learned from Monthy Python.

Yeah, I was the vice captain last year, but the guy that was skippering us has resigned the captaincy, in favour of the Wednesday league this term. I've been dropped in the deep end.

I'm not sure it's a real life achievement - more of a poisoned chalice.

I was coerced into accepting the secretaryship of the cricket club, because the Saturday 2nd XI captain was in danger of "burn out" for running that team and being secretary. I was also continuing my role as Sunday XI vice captain, from last season and would be vice captain for the reformed Wednesday 2nd XI.

Now that our captain of the Sunday side has taken up the captaincy for Wednesdays, he has resigned the Sunday job. I think he'll still pay for us on Sundays, but we need to sort that out, when pre-season training starts in March.

Oh and on the 29th, I begin a 6 week course to train me up as an official scorer. If I succeed at Level 1, I could enroll on further courses for Level 2 and 3, which could get me trained to a high enough standard for Test Matches.

2012 is going to be hectic for me.

Surely 10k is a kiss on the cheek, 20k is a kiss on the lips, 30k is a kiss on the breast and 40k is a kiss on the..

So, I watched all Irate Gamer shows now (except for Irate Gamer Neo). I have to say, his reviews get a lot better later on, but the show still becomes worse with every episode. I just don't care about all those side stories (even though the alternate time lines for Mario's Time Machine / Mario is Missing where quite funny) and I find them distracting.

But, and that's the really sad part, Irate Gamer is one of the better reviewers on youtube. I've seen some VERY bad video game reviews (NC17 productions, for example). Next to them, Chris looks like a fucking genius.
