This thread is kind of pointless, because most of the people it's addressed to won't ever see it, but it makes me feel better or something. Basically every weapon is complained about, and said to be overpowered, so I'm going to spell out where the ba...  [Read More]

Okay, I found another wierd one. On some crates on the Core Ship on Geonosis, the writing seems to say 'Hand turns makes' or 'hand turns majes'. It is a little blurry, so it might be a little off, but I can't seem to read it in a way that makes any k...  [Read More]

Good find, BeBop. I did a quick check through the Kashyyyk multiplayer maps, and found this: http://www.geocities.com/jedi_duck_1138/symbols5.JPG) (This may be the reverse of the actual symbols, they appear both ways depending on the side of the cra...  [Read More]

I assumed it was a joke, and that they expected few if any to know what it says. That is a satisfying explanation for 'i hate computers so much' and 'talbot dot com'. But I still don't understand why they would throw something in there that doesn't m...  [Read More]

Well, I believe I learned a few years ago that most of our oil was from Venezuela and Mexico, and a quick check at the US Department of Energy website yielded the following results (as of 2003): Venezuela: 1,385,000 bbl/d; 11.3% Mexico: 1,639,000 bb...  [Read More]

If a SW remake were to use the actors from the PT, then they shouldn't make it for about 20 years. I'm not necessarily opposed to a SW remake, but I doubt I would find it to be better then the original....  [Read More]
