How come there was never a Han Solo-centric game? Or was there one but I never heard of it @_@

The only great season, too.
Click to expand...

I liked season one a lot, but it was good a bit after that. I had the same issue with it as I do with a lot of sci-fi shows. They setup an interesting world and introduce you to the characters over a season or two where there are new and different things happening every week held together with a thread that gets teased out over the season. By season 4 or so the entire show is about that one thing which is usually some conspiracy thing that falls apart when pushed onto the center stage and I lost all interest.

The only Star Trek movies I liked were the Picard ones. Kirk was too smug :p The one where they time-travel to save a whale was good though.
I only ever watched the first season of Fringe but didn't finish it. It was just not to my liking.
Lost actually sounds interesting. I should start watching it sometime. I should also start watching Game of Thrones I think -_-'
How funny, the only Star Wars I ever cared for was Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast!

Well, Picard is the best captain for a reason. And I agree about Kirk :p

I liked the later seasons of Fringe more than the first one, but mostly because I liked the characters and all the craziness.

I should really start watching Game of Thrones as well. I even have the first 3 seasons on Blu Ray (there was an offer...).

I never completed Jedi Outcast. I tried to play a few Star Wars games after completing KotOR2, but I always ended up being disappointed that they weren't another RPG (yeah, I'm pretty silly sometimes) :p

Lost is .... filler the series, I actually watched all series in a week when all this uproar because of ending was happening, I was curious. How I managed that in a week? Simply, by fast forwarding filler: repeats, repeats of flashbacks, repeats of repeats, something is in a jungle scenes, that's like 80% of series. I'm not even kidding

I liked Startrek a lot, btw, more or less all of it, although I like original series and new generation more than all later parts.

That sounds horrible about Lost. I hate fillers.

And about Star Trek, I love pretty much everything as well, although I find it more difficult to watch the original series :/

I think you are wrong on this one, Star Wars are probably no less popular in ROW. At least I don't see what's "american" about it.

Are you actually saying that Star Wars is as hyped in Europe as in USA? Forget about the actual rest of the world. I don't believe that. To be more precise. I was in many big cities in Europe and lots of people - young and old - either didn't know about Star Wars or cared very less. I also didn't see as much hype during movie starts as in USA. Sure there were many parties, events and overnight campers but to no extent as USA.
I didn't say Star Wars is very american but it is more popular in USA.

But I want to fight you. Because that's a ridiculous thing to say.

At first I thought my love for the first season is only because there was so much promise and mystery, because I didn't know yet how bad the main story would eventually be (and some of the characters too) but I watched the first season again later on and it was still the best season, by a fair margin.

Even so, I'm going to watch the whole series once more one of these days thanks to a cheap Blu-ray box I bought last year. Really hoping I can find more positive things to say about the later seasons.

Maybe your own disinterest makes you misjudge how big SW is literally everywhere.

Fringe was goddamn famtastic.
The first season and all others were great.
I love it. So much.

I lived in Europe all my life, in several countries, I don't remember ever meeting a person not knowing what Star Wars is, I met those not knowing StarTrek for example, what's really strange, but never Star Wars ignorant. Not that I talked about SW with everybody, but you get my drift.
Well, we can't measure popularity, so I won't argue about it.

Endless Legend and Dungeon of the Endless (from what little I've played of that one) are fantastic by the way. Endless Space is alright too. Don't miss this opportunity to pick them up if you're interested at all.

Picard is the best captain, there is no denying that, but overall cast of original still is unmatched.
And talking about original, have you tried watching remastered version?

As for GoT, I still think that series are short spoilers of books and prefer books myself.

you actually just convinced me to get back to watching Fringe, I dropped after second season because I don't like series continuing after they have proper ending. (><)

Because both David Prowse and Peter Mayhew are from around here, we had the highest percentage of Jedi's in both 2001 and 2011 censuses.

Anyway my low tech GTA V experience was going great until I hit Blaine County and Trevor. I don't think a framerate in the teens is something I can stomach for long.

And Hexcells too.
Is Super Cars based on the old computer games (Amiga/Atari ST)
Click to expand...

It's Crazy Cars. Which was an old series as well. But no.

And by no I mean yes after actually checking out the store page.

The cult racing series created in 1988 by Titus Interactive is back with a brand new version faster than ever before! Rediscover the sheer thrill of arcade gaming with this amazing racing game, taking bends at max speed or massive jumps that can go hundreds of meters high.

How do I not own Hexcells yet? I thought I did. Maybe I'm just remembering that STEAM thread where every other post was about it.

That's a fantastic selection of featured games there. Perhaps you could get something like Cladun X2 or Lumines since it seems they're never going on sale again.
