He probably met Roffles when he was growing up.

Oh and only having to deal 10 damage then last to turn 9 on mage is super cheap. If they can't kill me fast I win mid-game. The ceiling to Masters does exist. You need like ~75% win rate if you get capped and stuck like it sounds you are. Win Streaks give more points, I'm just unsure as to how many. | ||

They may not really hate them but they convince themselves they're the enemy. Hatred and calm can go together. | ||

The spirituality of the Force is far closer to various forms of Asian philosophy. There's a reason Vader was made to look like a big bad evil space samurai and the jedi act like monks a lot of the time. | ||

Everything makes sense then. | ||

It makes me sad, but I did participate since parents/family friends wanted iPads, and dragged me along with (also Macys for kitchenware <_>). I was just content to order my new laptop and be done with it. The value on the 800 dollar one doe, urgh. Sure it's Lenovo, but 4th gen i7-4700, nividia 755m, hybrid drive, and pretty hi-def resolution for a 14'. | ||

Thought you meant something else. Derp. Still, it's about as much as you can expect for a laptop with those specs (most will run a few hundred over). Retailers sell shit online cheap, but the manufacturer can sell it cheaper (usually, since no middle-man retailer). Deals last another 19hrs tho. On a side note, I did end up picking up a copious amount of Flannel at AE, so being dragged to Macys/Walmart was werth to a degree. | ||

Stumbled upon the SW wiki because of darth&droids yesterday, managed to only spend 40 minutes on it, came out with 3 things: - funny how every "good guy" (or protagonist, when it's a bad guy) is always a natural, gifted and stuff, and when it's a bad guy he's usually full of himself and greedy or racist even when he's not incompetent. - World Destroyers have such a corny design, wtf. - no Sith died of "natural causes", and it's known that "the dark side" eats at them, making them megalomaniac, paranoid, physically frail over time. Also Inherently evil. And yet there are still always people to adopt it, not for philosophic reasons but because of power trips, how does that make sense if you know you'll only get moderately powerful (more than the standard goons, but there are always a bunch of Force-users spread out in the galaxy anyway) for a time then decay physically and mentally and not even be the person who initially joined anymore? | ||
