Spiders freak me out considerably.

This is a Megaman forum after all, I'd say most of us have some sort of antagonistic relationship with an insect of one form or another.

Yeah! Stupid Hornet Man and Boomer Kuwanger!

What is this "Megaman" you keep talking about?

This is a Megaman forum after all

And here I was thinking that it was a Rockman board.

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.

Dat AGE-3.

On one hand I prefer the old design but on the other I kinda like this one because it's like ZZ and V2 had a baby.

Hang on, you rolled either a 1d20 or a mix of other dice, and now you're surprised at the average being different?

[Quickman]

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.

How am I supposed to take "these diceroll statistics are interesting" as anything other than "these diceroll statistics are odd and unexpected"? Maybe you could elaborate on what exactly it was about and what you were expecting to see?

I mean, I'm not being sarcastic and stuff here, merely bewildered.

[Quickman]

I know.   This has been complained about on Wookieepedia for quite some time.  Along with this:

[Flame]

Well there's something that was kind of unnecessary. How...? I recall him getting a nice waist reduction involving a lightsaber through the midsection. Then falling down one of those endless shafts the Star Wars series likes so much.

[Quickman]

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

[Sapphire Knight]

Dear god... They've mutated Darth Maul into a final boss... I swear they lurk in forums to snag horrible ideas from sarcastic comments made by aggravated fans.

I heard they also ditched his signature dual saber style, which was like, his defining character trait in Episode 1.

Since I'm not really of the Star Wars fanbase and don't watch the show, I really don't quite know how to react other than wondering if it was really necessary to bring back a villain who was supposed to be very dead and make him just look completely ridiculous "Just cause".

Though to be fair, he was one of the more interesting characters from the prequels, even if as a character and villain he was pretty bland (Bland characters? In the Star Wars prequels? How shocking.) if only because his design was pretty neat and the double saber thing was an interesting way to spice up the saber combat.

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

[Flame]

I only really care for the original trilogy.

[Kieran]

I've heard that it's an interesting experience to watch the films in the order IV, V, II, III, VI.  II and III serving as a flashback of Anakin Skywalker's fall.  Keep meaning to do that one of these days.

[Flame]

I just cant bear to watch the prequels again because they are just so boring due to Lucas' [parasitic bomb] camera and writing skills.

To be honest, Phantom menace is the only of the prequel 3 I actually somewhat enjoyed.

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.

Just replace a certain name with another and you got:

O Filoni-boy... The mercs, the mercs are calling... From Rim to Rim, and down through hyperspace... And when they find... You who they be searching... Tis you tis you... they'll bring to Fanboy the Hutt's place...

Nah, I didin't like the changes in the Clone Wars, I sense a huge plothole in it's future.

[Quickman]

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