At first it felt like the two halves didnt mesh together very well. Then I realized why this trailer was interesting: The trailer goes out of its way to highlight how far Lucas has fallen as a storyteller. You can see how a few words from Sir Alec painted a wonderful tapestry to hang his tale on.

Well, I finally broke down and purchased this monstrosity. I noticed it at a local Borders, found a 20% off coupon online, and then went back and bought it. Was it worth it?
Art: The art in this is very well done. However a lot of it is recycled. Some pieces are good, a few are bad. For example, the picture for the Eldar makes his arms look all stubby.

This being only the second college I have ever really attended its interesting to compare and contrast them. For starters UT-Dallas has more students currently attending than people who live in Platteville. People here consider this a "small" college. This affects a lot of different things. First, my classes even at the graduate level are huge. 80ish students. They tend toDoneshnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996056.post-1096908056964009842004-10-04T09:37:00.000-07:002004-10-04T09:40:56.963-07:00So, lets say someone is wearing a kilt, however instead of being made out of Tartan its pure black.
Is that still a kilt?
Does it change your mind if the person wore the rest of the Scottish getup at the same time, or just a T-Shirt?
Now, lets say this person has only been seen wearing this kilt. He is also the same person who tried to organize a "pron" night for the anime club.

Giant Robo is an anime. Giant Robo also doesnt have a crappy ending. How is this possible? Simple! Giant Robo isnt the end of the written series! It was a chunk in the center and thus it avoids the need to end in a poor fashion.
Now if it did have an ending it would probably be Doneshnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996056.post-1096255383668530922004-09-26T20:07:00.000-07:002004-09-26T20:23:03.666-07:00I knew moving down to Texas would take some getting used to. Something I expected, something I didn't. Somethings I really should have expected running into.
For example there is Richardson's laws on alcohol. Richardson is dry. This means that I cant buy anything to drink at the local grocery store, and that Bars are few and far between. In fact, there is no bar within walking distance of Doneshnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996056.post-1095966050044533612004-09-23T13:00:00.000-07:002004-09-23T12:00:50.043-07:00Stolen from the SPAMM forum:
s Dyre requested here is my take on Giant Robo. Now, Giant Robo is probably my favorite anime, so there may be a little bias to this review. However, even I realize that it’s not perfect, just close to it. Now, on with the review:
Story: The story in GR is incredible. It plays out more like a Wagnerian Opera than the standard cut and paste story that is common in Doneshnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996056.post-1094271834548412392004-09-03T21:23:00.000-07:002004-09-03T21:23:54.550-07:00Now I am a big fan of both Disgaea and La Pucelle so I picked up the next Nippon Ichi game: Phantom Brave. Now I know I have heard rumblings about long boring reviews on the spamm forum in the past so I will break it up into concise points.
Good:
--This game has even better 2d animation and storyline
--Same style music
--A nice dark Storyline so far
--A lot of flexibility and customization is Doneshnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996056.post-1093401732938844412004-08-24T19:16:00.000-07:002004-08-24T19:42:12.936-07:00I meant to write about the different culture about drinking in alcohol in Texas, but this last weekend something really caught my eye. It is "National Stop on Red" week. This I find funny because I have yet to ever hear about said week outside Texas.
But I think in Texas it may very well be needed. Now, I used to think Wisconsins neighbors to the south were bad drivers.

I originally started this when I returned from Japan, but I quickly realized blogs about nothing tended to be boring or pointless. Now, I know there will still be a few posts along the lines of Today I did this, then I did this, blah, blah , blah. However, I would much rather post about cultural differences I notice in Texas, my thoughts on recent political Doneshnoreply@blogger.com1
