Of Wikis, Comics, Battlefront II, and TZ
So, what did you all do today? I fought a war on Wookieepedia. I so won though. :P And that guy... it must suck to be filled with so much hate. If I'm ever like that, shoot me.

Uh, don't shoot me if my hate is directed towards haters though, because that happens far too often. ]:)

Let me tell you though, I am starting to get disillusioned with the whole Wiki concept. We'll have to see how it goes.

Anyways... I got new SW comics today! Star Wars Tales Volume 6, which contains the Republic Commando story 'Honor Bound'. (It's very very wrong to write "honor" and not "honour", but it is a title...) It's a much bigger TPB than I was expecting, so that's nice. :) I look forward to reading it. I also got 'The Rite of Passage', and that rounds out all the Clone Wars era comics I was intending to get. (That are out in TPB so far, at least.) Now I need to decide if it's worth getting the super-old Knights of the Old Republic era ones. (Not the new Kotor comic series, the old "Tales of the Jedi" ones. I already know all the stories from the Essential Chronologies, but still.) Any opinions? What other non-Clone Wars comics are worth reading?

I should probably report on my latest gaming endeavours. I played Battlefront II again a couple days ago... the first time in months. (I stopped playing because the plot was peeving me off from a continuity standpoint. Then I decided that the plot isn't gonna be part of my personal canon, so that makes it better. :)) I'm on the 'Attack the Jedi Temple' level, still. I tried in 4 times, and, despite being MUCH better at FPS games than I was (I've been playing so much Battlefield 2 lately, it's awesome), I could not win. The stupid Jedi Masters would just run up to me and slice me into pieces. No way around it. And when I was Anakin, the controls were so flakey that I couldn't be good at owning people with the saber. Why couldn't the controls be like Jedi Knight II? I was at least ok at that. But in Battlefront II, everything seems so random; the feel is so different. Sigh. So yeah, I don't know when I'll try playing that again. Maybe I'll try out multiplayer, but when I'm frustrated by a game's controls I don't think it'd make a difference. Oh well, First Strike will be out eventually. And I really need to play Empire At War again. So many games, so little time.

In other news... well, there is no other news, really. Other than the fact that I want to read Triple Zero again. But I lent it out. Woe. Ah well. I've been following the inventory at the nearest Chapters (online), and they've sold 6 copies (of originally 29) since the book came out. I guess that's good! I want a sequel, darnit.

S'pose that's it, out.
