New Testingstan

That sucks man. I know the feeling.

On that note, apparently the school that fucked up my visa shut down. Haven't gotten the details out of the other foreign teacher yet

The thing that gets me is that while I'm leaning pretty strongly toward Hillary, Trump is the only candidate who has shown any sign that he would treat the War on Drugs like the national priority it deserves to be. Taking on that Mexican drug lord who came after him on Twitter counts for a lot in my...

Good thing that stuff about him picking Joe Arpaio as his running mate was a hoax. That probably would have clenched the win for Trump.

I maintain that America is doomed every day Mike Huckabee isn't in the White House.

I've played almost to the end of the Android port of Final Fantasy IV DS and it's quite nice and of good quality. This is in stark contrast to what I've seen and heard of other SquareEnix mobile ports. Chrono Trigger looks like -crap- on my phone and tablet, as does Dragon Quest VI. For Dragon Quest...

adr doesn't live in Utah?

Oh I remember that, I just thought Shep leaving happened well afterward

Last time I remember him being racist was that weird thing about broken glass in Testing, but I'm pretty sure he left awhile after that and he never suffered any consequences for it.

Which one? I don't remember anything in particular going on at the time.

Yeah, he is (I have at least one mutual friend so I occasionally see Wong posts), but I thought the admins couldn't undo that. With that being the reason why it was a favorite way of locking oneself out to make sure you didn't go back.

Huh. I thought Shep scrambled his Email address and password to lock his account?

Someone did another audio book of one of my fanfics.

That's nice.

I mean, like Kylo Ren shows the idea could have worked with a younger Jacen. And a "Jacen goes overboard in his studies and goes all Dark Side bugnuts" plot could have worked too, though it would be a disappointing after the way the NJO ended. So yeah, Karen Traviss is a bad writer. Not ve...

I think it was you who said something like that? It's been awhile. I could be remembering wrong.

I was teasing Stofsk or someone who said she was singled out because of that. As opposed to publicly talking about ripping her critics tracheas out.

I mean, I don't think it was literally called the Department of Republic Homeland Security (especially since the New Republic was no longer an existing state/government at this point), but that's pretty much what it was described as.

Crazedwraith wrote:Are you being serious there... or not?

About which part? Because that all happened and it was what switched me from neutral on Traviss to actively disliking her.

But yeah, it was totally the fact that Karen Traviss is a woman that set off so much hate for her.

First of all, let me offer my sincerest condolences to you for slogging through LotF. I only read a few of them and summaries of the rest. I still hadn't really formed an opinion on Karen Traviss back then, because SD.net hates everything EU and is pretty biased, but when I got to the part where Ha...

They are the surviving members of the Council, but the argument could be made that they are fallen Jedi. Their decision to train Luke was to give him the ability to kill Vader and Palpatine. Their concern was less in preparing him to resurrect the Jedi and more to turn him into a weapon so they cou...

Being Evil is not heretitary and that reason boils down to bad parenting and emoness. It can be when we're talking about magic. Anakin wasn't born evil, but his Force powers gave him a whole lot more opportunity to be that way, and made things that would have been minor for regular people (fear, an...

And then there's Darth Han-and-Leia's Son. Now I never actually read LotJ because fuck that shit, but just what I skimmed from Wookieepedia was enough and I know a lot of people say they ripped off Anakin Skywalker but worse (lol) and I kind of agree. I mean why does he have a daughter conceived in...

But that's not really an organized Church, that's a voice in his head and a weirdo in the woods.... Sure they are. They're literally the surviving Jedi Council. I scoffed at people whinging about the gone Eu but honestly thats how i feel more than anything. Tfa has the same tropes pele were tired o...

Luke could read and interpret the Bible Force himself, ... In a sense, he is the common man relying on his own faith, even if it is extraordinary among the common folks, rather than the chosen elite relying on his organized church authority. ... Like kinda like exceptional individuals can make a di...

Yeah, I think you're really reading way too much into it. Very basically: the space wizards have literally no effect on the outcome on the grand battle. No man, Palpatine was totally using Jedi/Sith Battle Meditation to guide the Imperials the entire time. They're useless without it. That was one of...
