Anyone else looking forward to seeing Prometheus?

Moderately interested, yeah.

I'm looking forward to the next Expendables. I have a thing for mind-numbingly stupid over-the-top action movies :)

I hate to say it, but a part of me quite wants to see Snow White and Huntsman.

If it's anywhere near Brothers Grimm or King Arthur that should be quite interesting.

I really though it looked pretty good the first time I saw the trailer for it. Then I found out Kristen Stewart was the protagonist. :igitt: I'm not sure I could handle that much of her....

Kristen Stewart gets a lot of stick, but really it's Bella Swan who's crap, not the actress.

Yeah, I suppose so. I just can't stand her in general. Though I think I'd see that movie if I had the opportunity. It actually looks decent.

Grrr, looks like my computer monitor is about to become one with the Force.
Coming to think of it, can a electronic device become one with the Force, actually? (Vader doesn't count)

Anyway, ordered me a new one, 27" from Samsung. With a bit of luck this one should hold it together until the new one arrives - scheduled for Friday

Depends. Is your monitor more machine than man? ;)

This makes me wonder: What happened to Anakin's/Vader's severed limbs? Did they become one with the Force, then hang out in Force limbo for twenty years until they were reunited with their master? Did they go around haunting people?

Ever saw the Adams Family Movie? I bet that weird hand running around was Anakin's.

Right, so now my monitor finally died. Working on the notebook now, until the new one comes.

Yay, got my new 27" monitor! And guess what: It was lacking the one crucial component: hdmi-to-dvi cable! :motz:

A post on G+ by some SW fan site about the XWAUP shamed me into posting here... I miss you guys. :( Life's just become too busy for me to keep up with everything any more, but goddamn I miss XWA and the XWAUP.

I got married, bought a house about six weeks ago, and about three weeks ago we found out my wife is pregnant. :shock: In addition to working ten-twelve hours a day with a 90 minute commute (round trip) on top of that, I'm pretty damn tired most of the time. On the weekends I wind up playing Skyrim until the sun comes up and then it's like "Crap, gotta sleep." I'm not as young as I used to be. :( And then I sleep half the day away and rinse, repeat... life. I don't know how DS does it!

Anyway, just thought I'd pop in. I see some of you on Facebook, if anyone else wants to keep up just drop me a line. :)

Congrats!

Hey GEC, good to see you around and congratulations on your marriage and future fatherhood. Guess we're all slowly growing up (no matter how hard I keep struggling)

Still sucks Krogan ass though.

Destroy = most logical. Despite this it is presented as the worst choice.

IThat didn't bother me too badly.

One thing bugged me in the new end run sequence:
Spoilers ahead!






Through the whole run Harbinger keeps firing at a constant rate. Only when Shepard calls in the Normandy which then hangs right within HB's sights he/it doesn't seem to bother shooting it down..... Temporarily out of ammo?

Been lax in posting about this here, but a half sister (by my Mom) I had only heard rumors about found and contacted me and my full siblings last weekend, and we met her for the first time this morning. It went really well. :)
