Interesting. I am playing a Juggernaut, actually. I get the dichotomy in the light side and dark side choices in terms of game mechanics. I guess I'm being pedantic. Those are both dark side choices to me. They're only light side in game terms.

Ha. That's hilariously appropriate. I still have great difficulty playing an evil character. I know these are all lights on a screen, and no one is real, but it just feels so morally repugnant nevertheless. What's more, the game itself seems to be pushing light side sith. Most of the dark side...

None yet. The surgery was laparoscopic, and they only made 5 small holes, Externally, she's fine. In fact, she's 2 weeks ahead of schedule on physical therapy, they say.

I have been driving stick for my entire adult life. Today I did something I never did before, and oh so fortunately it turned out just about as good as it could have. I parked and somehow left it out of gear. I may have snagged the shifter with my lunch bag. Anyway, I looked out the window and...

I had a dream that a small planetoid was slowly approaching Earth, and we were all going to die. As it got closer, everyone was terrified of the Wave--a weather phenomenon that happened every 24 hours when your area of the planet passed closest to the approaching planetoid. We would watch the...

I finished the Consular and Smuggler class stories. I found the Consular's story much more interesting than the Smuggler's. It was pretty easy to build influence with the Consular's companions, but half the Smuggler's companions seemed more evil than roguish. I did like Guss, though. Risha was...

After watching too many "oh no I'm stuck in an MMO" animes, I decided to try SWTOR again. It seems like they've made leveling faster yet again. I tried an imperial for the first time really. A) there are so many more people playing on the imperial side. Wonder what that says about people. B) My...

Ever notice how the go-to reference sites for halloween props are appropriately ancient? They're slices of the WWW from the late 90s/early 2000s Yet they're still traded around as the authoritative sources

My wife joined an adult soccer league for the first time in about 10 years, now that our kids are older and we're starting to get our time back. Keep in mind my wife is in great shape. She exercises a lot, doing bootcamp and running. First game: complete rupture of the ACL, and a torn meniscus...

Ah okay, nevermind. It's addressed during the Dark Tournament. He is the merger of both.

I just thought of something random. I'm sure it has been discussed at length by anime nerds, but when Yoko Kurama possessed the real Shuichi in Yuyu Hakusho, did he effectively kill the real Shuichi? Or is the current Kurama supposed to be a merger of the two?

If I'm honest, I just feel like a lot of the acting in DS9 is goofy and hamfisted. Plus, like every character is super judgy. It's Mean Girls in space.

I never made it past season 1 of DS9 when it originally aired because i found a lot of the characters rather annoying and static. Dax and Odo in particular annoyed me, but especially Dax. I think I'll give it a second chance after seeing that.

Yeah that's where I saw it. Companies have caught on to cable cutting, and there are a lot of good OTA channels these days. Also a fan of Comet (sci-fi) and MeTV (oldies).

I just watched the DS9 episode "Far Beyond the Stars", and wow, this blew me away. Avery Brooks directed this metafiction episode where Sisko dreams he is a sci-fi writer in the 1950s, beset by civil rights issues. His performance is visceral, and honestly some of the best acting I've seen in...

This is mostly to satisfy my own curiosity, but I want to find the designs for the original "Larson Scanner", the name dubbed by Evil Mad Scientist for the scanning lights found in a number of Glen A. Larson's TV shows, including the front of KITT and the Cylon's eyes. There are a bazillion LED...

Yeah, but your argument applies to most of the crew of the TNG Enterprise, too, when it comes down to it. No one wants to watch Kirk put in a solid, competent 8 hours and get promoted the old-fashioned way.

I'm trying to watch Log Horizon, but I'm having trouble getting over the pedo level love interests. Both Shiroe and Nyanta. It's bad enough that Akatsuki is 24 but looks 10. You've also got an actual kid in love with him, and he never says hey, you're a kid, it ain't happening. Yeah, yeah. I...
