Thats what made it good >_<

I think it got up its own ass by the end of the third season. It totally lost its balance of good comedy and clever meta humor.

But what I'm saying is that Dan Harmon is basically the only person who could pull that off. So hopefully with the fourth season, they won't even try and we'll get a good solid comedy instead of an awkward imitation.

COMMUNITY IS COMING BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!

In february >_<

The Community that the network pushed back because they had no faith in it? Yay! I'm sure it won't be terrible!

 

[Ningo]

So the first of the 3 games I bought from "Video Ezy" just arrived, Dishonored, from Kowloon Hong Kong.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

So, star wars Disney hey. That is weird and exciting.

 

[codswallop]

You think Disney could somehow make Star Wars worse?

 

[Omikron]

That image doesn't work for me at work, feel free to describe.

[reptilescorpio]

Why don't people like Disney? Aside from topmen.jpg of course.

Not shocked. Assumed as much going by all the evidence.

Plus the fact my order hasn't arrived yet, even when I will probably have my 2nd Mighty Ape order in that timespan arrive tomorrow.

Actually, reminds me I am still waiting on a Harvey Norman order! Fuck, I wonder if I was meant to pick it up?

 

[Fredescu]

Yeah they should really let the guys responsible for that scene have another shot at it. They showed potential.

 

[hamchan]

Disney taking over Star Wars is possibly one of the best things to happen to this franchise because Lucas sure wasn't putting out quality works.

Yea not a bad thing, UK copy. It is just basic airmail though so it could take a while.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Disney's first SW movie will be called 'Pirates of Tatooine' staring Johnny Depp. It's inevitable.

 

[jambo]

But guys, don't you remember what happened when Disney took over Pixar and Marvel? We got horrible films like Ratatouille, WALL-E, Up, Toy Story 3 and The Avengers!

They'll never match the greatness that was Attack of the Clones.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

But guys, don't you remember what happened when Disney took over Pixar and Marvel? We got horrible films like Toy Story 3!

You got that part right.

SW is such a big name that Disney can not be expected to make a film for the fans, rather a michael bay tranformers debacle.

 

[midonnay]

I like John Carter >_>

 

[reptilescorpio]

People didn't like Toy Story 3?!?

 

[Jintor]

My head hurts.

 

[jambo]

Confirmation bias all up in this bitch.

People didn't like Toy Story 3?!?

Also yeah, what the fuck is with that?

 

[FallbackPants]

I like John Carter >_>

Same. It was a big dumb sci fi action flick. I don't get the hate.

More importantly will someone announce they've signed Prince. I'm stressing out here.

 

[Omikron]

Toy Story 3 was amazing, but, people told me I would cry, I didn't.

I thought it was a super positive ending!

 

[reptilescorpio]

Felt like a coming of age type ending. Tears in eyes but still fist pump of whispered, "fuck yesssssss". Masterful storytelling as usual.

 

[jambo]

Also, afaik Lucasfilm is going to be run as a separate entity, so it will pretty much be business as usual, just with a new Star Wars film in production.

There won't be Disney producers and execs constantly telling them what to make. Everyone always points to Cars 2, but that push mainly came from John Lasseter within Pixar.

 

[Fogz]

People didn't like Toy Story 3?!?

Armond White

 

[endlessflood]

Disney taking over Star Wars is possibly one of the best things to happen to this franchise because Lucas sure wasn't putting out quality works.

The one positive I can see: we might finally get a high definition release of the original trilogy, remastered (i.e. the prints cleaned up), but without all of the ridiculous shit that Lucas added later.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Armond White

He hasn't hung himself out of despair at this topsy turvy world yet? Shocked.

 

[Fogz]

He hasn't hung himself out of despair at this topsy turvy world yet? Shocked.

In his mind it IS his world

 

[FallbackPants]

He's back. Holy shit I'm so phyched for the 2013 season now.

 

[Mr_Appleby]

So I have a 3 day pax pass also, must've got one of the last lot.

If you're technically inclined (and I'll assume you are since you bought a Nexus S), you may want to look into doing the occasional 'adb pull /sdcard/ Chonebackup' which will backup everything on the phone's internal memory. Easy to restore with an 'adb push Chonebackup /sdcard/' if you need to. You will need the Android SDK installed to achieve this.

damn that's great, i have sdk installed already. i'll keep it in mind for once it's repaired. The power button died first and then it stopped turning on at all the night i was planning to back it up manually.

 

[Jintor]

I'll never understand sports. I barely understand fighting game competitiveness.

 

[Ningo]

We're screwed, GWS and Gold Coast twice.

 

[reptilescorpio]

We're screwed, we aren't playing against senior citizens.

Fixed

:/

 

[Ningo]

Although as much as I like Matty Primus as a top bloke,

I have more faith in this man

 

[jambo]

[Jintor]

Sure, if all of humankind was my home team.

 

[Raxum]

I agree with Jintor on this, I don't even understand rivalry of support with e-sports teams. I just like seeing awesomely skilled players pitted against each other making awesome plays. It makes for a really interesting watch.

 

[Rezbit]

I'll never understand sports. I barely understand fighting game competitiveness.

Why do you enjoy games? Why do you like reading books? It's a form of escapism, people enjoy watching other people with elite fitness and endurance doing skillful displays. When your team wins it makes you feel damn good. Do you not have a competitive streak at all?

Also, Disney buying Star Wars is huge, but I guess really it means nothing, the movies will be like the prequels.

 

[Jintor]

No... I think sports fandom is closer to something like a community than it is to escapism.

 

[user_nat]

He's back. Holy shit I'm so phyched for the 2013 season now.

I have the opposite feeling.

 

[jambo]

No... I think sports fandom is closer to something like a community than it is to escapism.

So what the fuck would you call this forum then? =P

 

[Fredescu]

That might be how it looks from the outside because the parochial elements are the loudest and most colourful, but enjoyment of the actual gameplay is paramount. Personally I love watching the English Premier League even though I don't support any particular team. Likes and dislikes for teams just develop naturally as a result of human nature, but you don't get there without enjoying the tension and suspense of the game.

 

[Jintor]

So what the fuck would you call this forum then? =P

Madness.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Go Green Team!

 

[Fredescu]

I have the opposite feeling.

Prior to this signing you guys were locks for the bottom four.

 

[jambo]

Go Green Team!

Team Green is the best!

 

[FallbackPants]

I have the opposite feeling.

Really? How is he not a massive upgrade on Norman?

 

[reptilescorpio]

?

 

[user_nat]

I guess I just don't like Prince very much.

It would be hard to not be an upgrade on Norman though, so its good in that sense. Not a very good signing for our long term though. I wanted to see a Wallace/Hunt combo given some time.

 

[FallbackPants]

I don't know about that. Battling for the last positions in the eight would have been my projection.

Agreed it's not a long term solution, but it should let Norman/Hunt develop in other positions without the pressure or in the Q Cup. Actually I'd imagine Hunt would stick around backing up Macca.

Or this from Zane Bojack of ABC Radio

Me thinks Corey Norman to fullback and Hoffman to the wing in 2013 at Broncos with Prince and Wallace in the halves #NRLFavourites2013?

 

[Planet_JASE]

You just need to believe in The Force.

I'll put my money on the team with a Norse God... and

Hulk smash puny Jedi.

that too.

Regarding Star Warisney films: no one will make a film that will please the fans. Lack of original cast, the inclusion of original cast, adhering to the EU novels, straying from the EU novels, too dark, too lighthearted, etc, etc. I don't think they can really please the big fan. Not anymore. Too much time has passed, hype and expectations have been formed that all work against the franchise.

The odds are that no one will ever be happy about any other Star Wars films. The odds are that Disney will make a shitload of money from people forming those opinions by handing over walletsfull of money.

 

[Rezbit]

Oh yeah I'll be there day one and I'll loathe myself for it.
