It has long been confirmed it will be in the original continuity since CBS cannot legally do anything with the JJ verse.

Bandwidth isn't the problem. Bandwidth for streaming is maybe there for most people with broadband already. But again, that isn't the issue. Latency is the issue. You can have a 100GBPS fiber connection, so you can download around ten gigabytes per second, but if your average latency is 180ms...

Guess it really depends on which version it is? Original (title Star Wars, no Episode IV, no A New Hope), post Empire/Jedi version (adds Episode IV and A New Hope to the title), Remastered (Just higher picture quality), or Special Edition (boatload full of new CGI, new music, new scenes, etc.)...

It's everything you always wanted added to the SNES Harvest moon... except the annoying fishing game. If they fix that...

#1 worst gaming sin for me since I started tabletop games back in 1982... GM/DMPCs. These aren't NPCs, these are usually super powered, cheat build characters that the DM/GM started playing in some game and then insisted on using when he started running games. Nothing in video games can even...

Single player only for most of them. The only ones I buy for the multiplayer are the Battlefield games. And even then I rarely play them. Especially when there's something like Planetside 2 that's free.

I was thinking more the stories I've heard of showers going from freezing to steam clean in seconds due to the catapult system. The story for the SCA is probably just a story, and is cold war era. About the captain actually calling for them to hold fighter practice when they were in sight of...

1: Are you happy not to have to use the showers on a steam cat flattop any more? 2: Any truth to the SCA Urban legends about SCA groups doing fighter practice on the flight deck?

Considering the term PC Master Race is much older than ZP? I've been hearing it used since the late 80s on places like Compuserve. It wasn't meant as an insult originally. Which doesn't make it a stupid term.

Haven't really looked at L5R 4e RPG much as of yet, but if they can make the metagame/plot/history make a bit more sense then that would be good. Otherwise, I've got 3eR sitting next to me as I prep for a new campaign. Haven't really cared much about CCGs since M:TG died originally in 95. Too...

Tossup between Everything You Know is Wrong and Trapped in a Closet with Vanna White. Happy Birthday would be a close second. And I'm an old fart, I first encountered Weird Al with his live performance of Another One Rides the Bus on the Dr. Demento Show in 1980 when I was a kid. And I...

Sadly Chron X doesn't have the presence it once had, being the first online CCG. You can still play it however.

Dual Spec and the reagent tab are the only good things on that list. Transmog was practically a decade late and way more than a dollar short compared to the cosmetic systems in almost every other MMO.

Hmm, what's left on my list... I got out before the FGM-148 Javelin entered service. But I qualified on M72 LAW and AT-4, so I'm probably not missing much. Could be interesting to see first hand how a SCAR-L or G36 compares to an M4 or my old M16A2. Now, on my love to own that I've fired...

Wonder how it compares to Bunnies and Burrows?
