The Battle Bar, Our Wretched Hive of Scum and Villainy

I'm not as optimistic. The concessions given to the pro gay crowd will make them want more. Religious officials will stand there group. There will be pressure from both sides (more from the left). It's going to be interesting.

I'd like to say that this is the most interesting KMC has been in years.

Good thing I discovered that other forum. Legend is making me look hardcore liberal at this point.

My respect and understanding for Legend just plummeted dramatically.

My respect for Selenial got raised quite a bit though, so not a complete loss.

would it have been there in the first place if his devotion was instead placed towards the movie era instead of SWTOR?

I imagine so, yes. If you must know, I was once quite viciously opposed to Legend's Swtor-based arguments even after playing the game and rating the characters highly and I still don't support most of what he says. I just don't go into massive arguments like I did a year or two ago because I realised it's kind of pointless to argue with him and he's intensely frustrating during them. I recall how insane he drove me when he started claiming Darth Skotia or Decimus were Dooku-tier.

There's also a personal thing I don't want to get into.

are you guys intimate?

No.

Regardless of that, IMO Legend having differing opinions about something like Star Wars just isn't enough to justify intentionally trying to hurt his feelings and not to respect him as a person. Whether someone thinks TOR or PT characters are teh bestest is a ridiculous thing to base someones worth on. I don't think any less than you because you think some fictional character beats someone and I disagree, and any indications of such are purely in the spirit of competition/fun.

But the things he said today were abhorrent, on top of being ludicrously idiotic.

Obviously if it were fanfiction he wouldn't have mentioned it. But yeah, the Sun Crusher is probably up there as far as superweapons go. It's small, as maneuverable as a starship, nearly indestructible (Turbolaser fire couldn't scratch it, it was destroyed by being thrown into a black hole iirc) and has the power to fire torpedoes that causes stars to go nova.

It also took a shot from the prototype death star iirc.

Don't waste your breath lol, this guy is infamous around here.

I know who he is.

Anyone know of a good youtube playthrough of TOR? Planning on getting back into TOR, and need to refresh my memory of the story, but I can't be bothered to start from the beginning again and want to continue with my existing characters. Ideally I'd like one that has just the cutscenes for all 8 class storylines, and a seperate, general walkthrough for the planetary missions. Only need it up to Coruscant/Dromund Kass.

Can't really help you with the planetary missions but the prologue planets don't really have big planetary quests so you're not missing much.

So Legend is a bigot, disappointing but not surprising.

Hey, Zam did my PM get through?

Just got it, yep. Thanks for the clarification!

On another note, I love when discussions on other forums (without Gideon's legacy) mention Sidious and so we get gems like this:

At least, if Palpatine's any indication.


Palpatine may have survived by minimizing his high-intensity use of his Dark Side powers once his take-over was complete; he had the Imperial state apparatus to do most of his dirty work for him after that. Even before that his strategy relied much more on manipulation than personal combat power (and it's interesting to note that two of the three times in the films we do see him directly fight a handful of other Force users he didn't do so well; one time he ended up pushing himself sufficiently hard as to permanently scar him and possibly almost lost and only survived by being saved by somebody else, and the other time he ended up getting thrown down one of the Death Star's bottomless pits).[/quote]

That's hysterical.

Ok, good.

That's a promising fic, tho.
