I'd recommend speed dating personally. Always worked better for me than online dating, and happens to be how I've met my Mrs to be. And we've both tried the online thing and agree we never would have clicked if we came across each other in cyberspace.

That sounds incredibly stupid.

Dating on Speed? HRM.

Totally.

It's not looking good. The corruption level is too high. When I see the police/army saying "put down your guns", all I can think of is "that's a horrible idea".

Yeah, worst thing is nobody knows what's gonna happen. :/

Anyways, one of the problems I've encountered while downloading SWTOR: dying of old age while waiting for it to download.

It took me like three days of varying sessions. Total download time without multi-tasking would be only a few hours, but when doing other things at the same time it was eternity and a half.

Just wait until it randomly has to reverify the integrity of the something or other, and it re-examines the content, only to randomly redownload something else. Oh, and if you do anything more than browse the most basic of websites, it'll freeze your PC.

I decided against replaying SWTOR. I completely forgot that Black Flag just came out.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This, combined with the comics moving from Dark Horse to Marvel, makes me expect that Legacy II will be the epilogue of the 'old EU'.

Hahaha, good.

... what does that link tell us that we didn't already know?

I mean, we just had a convo like 5 pages back about the ramifications of them having "one canon" instead of multiple layers.

I was desperately looking for the dropped bomb there; perhaps an official statement that everything post-RotJ is no longer canon. something I can post a maniacal laughter gif about.

But there was nothing. 🙁

Yeah my thoughts exactly. There's nothing new there. We have no idea what will make it to the new canon, and what won't.

My guess would be that most the post ROTJ stuff will go. TCW animation will stay. No idea about the rest. But hey whatever stays it will just be Pure Canon in the future, on par with the movies.

I thought that article would be about Disney completely dismissing the entirety of the non-movie part of the franchise. I'm both gladdened and saddened that that wasn't the case.

I'm all for cleaning shop...

The implication seems to be that though some large parts might be removed. In any case, Leeland Chee is a huge movie fanboy and has always shown disdain for EU continuity, so expect anything which doesn't jive to just be obliterated.

I'm curious how this will affect TOR.

I am so pissed right now 😄

Agreed. Might as well start fresh and try to make the universe more consistent.
