People are claiming psychological damage.  Now, if there were actually people being 302ed because of the ending and their distress was documented, then I can see a reason to file something, as they would have clear evidence that the ending caused psychological damage.  Otherwise, it's merely he-said-she-said and the case would fall to pieces immediately.

I went to a political rally this evening out of sheer lack of anything better to do.

While taking a shower, I found a tick on my head.  It was attached and I pulled it off and it had a bit of skin still stuck to its mandibles.  So, I tossed the tick down the drain and continued showering.

Spring is in the air and ticks are in my hair.

Knew about it from this on TheForce.Net, and thus added my thoughts there.

I have yet to break the bad news to my brother.

Hoo boy...  First, the Retake ME3 movement is mentioned on CNN, now this.  While I understand their feelings as...

...the ending blew chunks and was in no way a tribute to a very good sci-fi gaming trilogy...

...and I support the Retake ME3 movement, as really, the fans deserve better than...

...the ten-minute existential avant-garde schlock-fest...

...to file a class-action suit is a bit much.  Demand a better conclusion, yes.  But, don't take legal action.

Exactly that.  Bullshit.  Until we get an official, official, official statement, we're not dropping that onto Wookieepedia.

Baloni is screwing canon right, left, and center.  Half of our articles now have a "TCW conflicts with canon" tag on them.  Before the series is all said and done (we have a fifth season to look forward to), all of Wookieepedia will be wearing that damn tag.

Anywho, reposted repost of old repost.



When the Vatican acknowledged the possibility of alien life... it all suddenly makes sense...

Well, first, we were given ersatz Maul in the form of his brother, Savage Opress, who was revealed to merely be a fan-wankery placeholder for Maul.  Basically, Dave Filoni likes certain characters and he wants his author-insert Ahsoka to meet all of his favorite characters.  After all, Ahsoka was discovered by Plo Koon, whom Filoni absolutely loves.  Then came Gha Nackt, who was a stand-in for when Filoni got around to scripting in his other love, Bossk.

Then, Filoni said that Han couldn't understand Chewie.  No, only Ahsoka could understand Chewie.  Way to take a [parasitic bomb] on the OT, douchebag.

That's even better!  I'll suggest it to Jang.  He came up with "Failoni."

Heh, indeed.  There's a long-running (and starting to get old) gag on the Wook where we refer to the man as "Failoni."

Things like this are why I stick to 5ABY onward.

Ah, an EU fan, I see.  Yeah, I've mostly stuck to the books, haven't really gotten into any Prequel EU (unless it was fringe stuff, like Coruscant Nights).  Even what I've read was already screwed over by TCW.  Even Piell was killed off in TCW prior to his already-established death in Coruscant Nights.  And Leland Chee had absolutely no retcon to explain that away and backpedaled so fast that he left a rut.

Then, there was Greedo appearing in Sphere of Influence, which took a big, steaming [parasitic bomb] on A Hunter's Fate.  Now, Dengar, complete with headdress (apparently some cultural thing), appearing in TCW.  Bossk was bad enough, but his appearance could be forgiven as Bossk is long-lived and has been around that long.

Everything that hasn't been screwed over yet is still ripe for the picking in Filoni's canon-sodomizing siege.

It's called Dave Filoni needs to be 302ed because he is clearly a danger to himself and others.

Obviously, you have misread the post as I clearly stated that the results were interesting.  The theory was originally just talked about with my brother, and I only recently put it to the test.

Plotted a d20 bell curve (2d8 + 1d6 - 2) a while back out of boredom.  Over a series of sixty rolls, in three sets of twenty, I plotted the values from 1 to 20, and got some interesting results.  The average roll for the d20 bell curve was 10.45, whereas the average roll for the d20 was all over the place, and one has a higher probability of rolling a number between 5 and 15 with the d20 bell curve.

Behold my insanity.

Indeed.  I can get comfortable here and set out roots.  I can live here for as long as I wish.

Blah, I'm still living at home... -.-;;

HOWEVER

My grandma's funding for me to attend classes this quarter, and there's a possible job offer coming my way.

And just think, with that job you'll be able to join the ranks of us independent adults and live on your own!  You'll get to pay bills and worry about how much money is left in your savings at the end of the month!  You'll have a place to call your own and to clean and to maintain!  You'll get to scrub your own toilet, contemplate whether you wanna spend the money to get your own washer and dryer or continue to drop quarters at the laundromat, how much food is in your cupboards and if you absolutely need to make that blue milk run, and all the mail you get will be bills!  It's awesome!

Haha, that's good to hear. The only thing I don't like is how much I have to spend in order to live on my own, but it's expected, huh? Wish the gas prices lowered at least, but oh well.

A plus for me is I don't have a car!   But, it's also a downside, as I either have to walk, bike, or bum rides everywhere.

I'm also in a supportive housing program, so I get a discounted rent.  I have to live where the program sends me, but that's okay.  As long as it's cheap and it's mine.

That pissed-off Double is cute.

And I suggest getting yourself a sketchbook and don't be afraid to draw things at a larger scale.  Sketchbook paper is far more forgiving to pencils and inks than notebook paper.

Things are good.  Still getting furniture and moving stuff in, but dammit, I have my own apartment to call my every own.  I grew quite tired of shuffling around from place to place every couple of years, living in temporary locales (dorms, group homes, respite apartments, parents' house) and not having some place to truly call my own, some place to settle down and get comfortable. 

Now, I finally can settle down and get comfortable.

And accumulate stuff.

Lots of household items, including:

-Trash can
-Coat hangers
-Dish towel
-Door mat
-Lampshades
-Lightbulbs
-Assorted groceries...

That's not counting the dishes, pots and pans, and silverware that I had to buy prior to the move.  Nor the furniture that I'm still acquiring.  Or the deposits for the utilities that I had to pay for.
