I know how to castrate farm animals, thanks to being in the Future Farmers of America in high school.
My school sucked.

Entertainment / Re: RPM's Star Wars Thread - Episode I
« on: June 11, 2009, 07:58:10 AM »
Lifelong Star Wars fan and Wookieepedia contributor.
My favourite is Episode IV. The Original Trilogy is just superior to the Prequals in terms of effects, in my opinion, as they weren't so CG-heavy. The acting was also better. The Prequals by themselves were good, I went to the premieres and own them on DVD and VHS. But Jake Lloyd's complete and utter lack of acting is almost painful, and the usage of CG Yoda. I mean, I can see using CG for Yoda's fight scenes and possibly some walking scenes, but all the time? The puppet looked better as the puppet was real. Intangible CG is not. The puppet blended in better as well, too.
Lessee, games, games... I played Star Wars Arcade for the 32X, Rebel Assault, X-Wing: Rogue Squadron, TIE Fighter, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, Battlefront, Battlefront 2, Republic Commando, and even The Gungan Frontier. When in Baltimore, I had a chance to play the old vector graphic Star Wars arcade game. I prefer the flight-sim shoot-'em-up style to the FPS. It just has that SW feel more with the insane dogfights than with sniping clone troopers from my post on Kamino. Though, that's still alotta fun. I dunno how many times the CIS had taken over the galaxy.
Ah, the books... The universally-agreed-upon starting point of the EU... I've read quite my fair share of books. From the anthology series, such as Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, Tales of the Bounty Hunters, Tales from Jabba's Palace, to the individual novels and series. Truce at Bakura, Shadows of the Empire, The Bounty Hunter Wars series, The Jedi Academy series, Thrawn trilogy, Coruscant Nights series, Outbound Flight... I'm currently half-way through Allegiance. My bookshelf is dominated by SW books and comics.
I have a box of SW action figures, as well. So yeah, I'm a bit obsessed.
Lessee... Vader, Palpatine's a deformed old coot, Malak lost his jaw to a lightsaber strike from Revan... That's all that I can think of off-hand of horribly-deformed Sith. Bane, Revan, Maul, Desolus, and Plagueis, from a quick skim over their articles to refresh my memory, are not requiring cybernetic limbs or jaws. It's more of that Vader, Palpatine, and Malak just have some rotten luck. But such are the risks of turning to the Dark Side...
Oddly enough, I don't think I've come across many disabled Fanon Sith Lords. How strange.

Also, is it just me, or are there really lots of heavily inured Sith out there? It's almost as if you have to be crippled or malformed to become a Sith. Is it the people's wish to be as badass as Vader? The original lung-cancer-victim?

My day wasn't really very notable. Just another day. We had some strong storms roll through the area, some of 'em setting off tornado warnings. The thunder scared my dog, so he hid. Then afterward, I went into town to pick up a few things. Then I came back. Yeah. Nothing really worthy of any note.
Tomorrow will most likely be the same, minus the storms.

Meeting Scott McNiel and getting my Wily signed. Spending a weekend in New York with PB. Watchmen movie. Going to the premiere of several SW movies (I was too young to see even RotJ, so I needed to wait for the SE and Prequels).
That's all I can think of at the moment.

I learned that tarmac radiates heat like a stove. And no amount of shading yourself with a parasol will protect you from... *weird big announcer voice* TARMAC HEATSTROKE.

Got it at the WWII airshow today. They were almost sold out, so I got to the stand just in time. I got the shirt at the airshow, too. Tomorrow I'll post the front of it.

I'm not gonna bother to search for Quickman. We all know what comes up with that. 
Doing a search using another of my screennames pulls up some of my art and some stuff from my SW.com profile.
