man last week I was thinking how I haven't turned my xbox on in months because I don't have the time/energy to game

then fallout and battlefront were announced and I am for sure going to have an xbone by november

You know now that I think about it, the XBOX 360/PS3 console generation didn't really have a great Star Wars game did it? Every other generation I can think of had one. SNES had Super Star Wars, N64 had Rogue Squadron, XBOX/PS2 had Kotor, Battlefront, etc. But not this generation. Come to think of ...

You were a) a bit more sceptical last time and b) are much more learned in these things mate. What's changing your mind?

I'd use them for all the movies.

particularly liked 'glenn mcgrath out for two, just ninety-eight short of a century'

I know you guys love ST but I wonder how many people are in the same boat as me - Nimoy, Shatner etc occupy a place...

THAT IS THE EXACT PLOT OF THE LAST GAME FFS

how terrible is COD Ghosts

I feel like demanding my money back

I had forgotten about that

and then promptly quit late game when it became clear I had been pipped by gandhi and genghis I had a sustained period of unhappiness mid-game which I only emerged from when I realised you could trade luxury goods. Think it put me too far behind the others - otherwise had reasonably good position, m...
