    Plan means keikaku.
  2. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    I think we can all agree, though, that the longer the beard, the better the wizard. Strangely enough, this also works for dwarves, the most unmagical of all fantasy races. Science has yet to find an answer as to why.

    I don't even know what my original avatar was.
  4. Amateur Game Making Night

    As someone who implemented all of that and more at one point... GOOD LUCK!!!!

    Laser swords cut through anything, though (except other laser swords Because Logic??). Ergo...
  6. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    It's a whip made of lasers though. What's the problem, exactly?
  7. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    Why can't a whip be used for cutting?
  8. I Had A Random Thought...

    This is a disaster.

    You're getting it all wrong. The justification for laser swords is that they're cool. That's it. That's what star wars is about. The justification for everything else is that it's even cooler. Also who are you to say the hilt doesn't have its own containment field? You said no tech needs explanation as long as it's consistent. But this is about more than technology. This is also about magic. Space magic. There's a large amount of magic shit that would make anything work.

    *nod* yes yes hmm yes
  11. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Hahaha that was driving me crazy too. I was halfway through before I realized "hey wait those words aren't... damnit"
  12. I Had A Random Thought...

    I sorta feel like changing my avatar. I just changed it twice. nyehehehehe U,:
  13. "Ethics and Journalistic Integrity"

    Oh no. ): I hadn't bought it yet either but it was definitely on my list.
  14. Didactic Thumbs (Pedantry Corner)

    I think it's just something people say when they misspell "peek". Like "for all intensive purposes", except "peak" at least sounds the same.
  15. I Had A Random Thought...

    I will change my avatar whenever and however I feel! Plus this one's rad.
  16. Life

    I fucking hate cars. I get by in Dallas without one, but I definitely should have one because I can't really do anything else. Number one reason I loved San Francisco was I didn't need a car to hang out with friends on weekends. I don't have that luxury now. Ugh I really fucking hate cars.

    Of course you realize these two lines are incredibly contradictory. The former is exactly why the latter SHOULD happen.Bunch o' nerds ruining the potential of star wars grumble grumble
  18. All I said was TP is really good. I never said it was perfect!
  19. Life

    Why is that weird? It's a shorter way of saying "a cup of coffee". I don't understand the problem. "A toast" is similarly "a slice of toast".

    According to SAM's explanation, they only have to use force to add "weight" to (or at least, to provide the user the, whatever, the skill to use) the lasers during a fight. Either way, having to use the force to make it, but not to use it, means that requiring the force to make it is essentially meaningless. Who cares how it's made? We're watch laser sword fights in space. I'm only interested in what's used to justify how the swords are used, and whether or not the swords are malleable, because if they are, then suddenly they're a whole lot more open to Rad Shit within the awkward lore.
  21. Nobody expects the Dragon Age Inquisition

    And if you keep talking to her throughout the game she becomes a million times more understandable? I dunno man if you want to hate her, go ahead, but she's not just "a cartoonish sociopath", just like Leliana isn't just "an innocent believer in Andraste" just like Sten isn't just "a gruff warrior" just like Oghren isn't just "a drunk dwarf" (actually Oghren is pretty much just a drunk dwarf and that's why he's the worst, OR the best).
  22. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    Because instead of a cool magic explanation it has a boring science explanation?
  23. I Had A Random Thought...

    I can vouch for this!
  24. Star Wars VII - Open spoilers

    That's way worse than what I imagined. I hate the lore even more now.
