Was looking for a good re-read universe that wouldn't take much time. I should have done this months ago.

I think they are pushing BF4 before the next wave of console releases. I haven't played 3 much since the armored core (tank one) DLC but I avoided running simply because of the size of the maps, but there was cover if you wanted it.

I do all my reading on my smartphone. Galaxy 3. I download a shit ton of books and transfer them with dropbox. Depending on the format dictates which app I read it with and the only format I have to convert to something else is .lit(s). I use kindle for .mobi and Aldiko for everything else. When...

If you itemize it's a great idea to keep receipts for charitable donations. The institution you used to get rid of the stuff should've given you a record of it. If you're still using the standard deduction and weren't prepared for the huge increase of income then you'll bite the bullet this...

Since you don't have the details you personally need to file I recommend you call the IRS and request the income documents that were reported for your tax identification number(SSN). They can either be faxed to you or mailed to your address of record. You should file the returns with that...

6 to 8 weeks for a paper return. This includes mail time.

Cool. I'm glad it worked out.

Without knowing exactly what you filed I can only speculate. I recommend you calling 1-800-829-1040. If there is a math error (a letter will be generated) then you can authorize a fix over the phone. If nothing is wrong they'll tell you exactly what date your refund will hit. Don't call on a Monday.

Is he really bankrolling this? He can make all the Fast and the Furious he wants to push this one out right. I even enjoyed the video games based on this universe. From where Chronicles left off I half expected him to go into the under-verse himself and get Kara. I think I'm remembering the...

Luke is pulling off physical force tricks in his mid 50s that he couldn't have done at 18, and his 16 yr old son watching/thinking "wow". Just like anything else, no 2 Jedi are explained the same even if they are human. If they ever do talk about it they 'll probably just say something like a...

Agreed. At first I actually hated John Carter because I'd read up about the story. My wife talked me around to almost liking it. It's been on TV a lot lately and we've watched the back half of it numerous times.

It's not about how old they really are. I suppose I could've worded this idea better. How old would a Jedi Master be looking like Hamil does now?

The question is which direction do they take it? Introduce more kids or even grand-kids, or hell based on how old the original cast is now they could pull off great-grand-kids. I find this very likely.As much as they we bitch about everything involved most of us will watch it in theater opening...

It's easier to explain it by saying "Taxable income", just throwing out those numbers people think of that as gross. Here's a link to the chart we use.http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040tt.pdf. It's also 14 pages long. I've worked for the IRS for 5 years doing all 1040 stuff until a medical...

I go back and watch Gundam Wing: The Endless Waltz a few times a year. Some army buddies turned me onto it way back in High School.

In the Plagueis book it shows that Palpatine's Master was alive up until he's appointed chancellor. Maul and Plagueis die nearly at the same time. Maul was never nothing more than a gofer whom was fluffed up quite a bit. He wasn't included in the planning, but he did put a few things together...

I go back to it every now and again. All the buddies I've played with are on different services for it though. On ps3/ 360 / pc I think I ranked the highest on the ps3 since they had gotten a few of the addons first. Was good to get away from the pc for a little while and forget mmo's for a bit.

Oh I get it. Putting the guy quietly out of his misery was just a let down for me. I wanted to see some spite I guess? Hard to describe what I was expecting, but this shouldn't be taken as a complaint either I actually enjoy being wrong with shit like this.

I could've gotten on my state coverage when I aged out of my parents insurance but I saw the limitations and freaked. I ended up paying cobra for 2 years before the real job benefits kicked in. (Insulin dependent diabetic). Both the wife and I each have family plans and we pick and choose which...

Unless that is a recent change everything we've been talking about concerning the Legacy era was approved by Lucas before it was even written. Half a dozen authors worked on this from a pre-approved outline was my understanding. The books that have been printed since the sale are still coming...

With a ZZ Top theme song?

eh, I've read about more situations where these guys more can't wait to get back into movies for the vacation. There is a lot more time invested in a 20 episode show than a 3 hour movie. Rather silly the pay doesn't reflect that.

After the first meeting where Underwood tells the drunk we'll be in touch they have an aside to where he admits to us he can't abide weaknesses. I was surprised he strung the guy out as long as he did. I think Francis has everything plotted way past being the actual VP. That man has serious...

It seems most of the new technology that does get introduced is based or found from a very old artifact or lost tech. Like Centerpoint Station. This universe always focused on the lore and politics instead of the technology side of things. There are upgrades but those are usually mentioned in...

I always enjoyed three the most because it's his home turf, his life is in the shitter, and he just wants to be sent home. The only movie where he officially has the right to do something, and he has to warm up to the idea.

Seems like a neat idea in the least.

hah, no surprise. It makes me wonder though how many different outlines Sanderson has written for his lore and where he wants it to go. I find it easier to process this as a plan than as a spur of the moment wow-ness.

Yea. At one point he said a Master shouldn't get involved in some things after a certain point of their mastery. Giving the example as to why Yoda didn't. (I'm being vague intentionally)

Shit I bet Rothfuss agrees with you.

If I buy a book I'll finish it, just to bitch about it on the author's blog if it pisses me off. I read pretty fast and rarely juggle more than 2 at a time. I admit to getting more and more free books(yes, some pirated) on my kindle app (galaxy 3) because it's 15 miles to the nearest bookstore.

Yea, I guess 55 would be the minimum. Luke doesn't do anything too impressive compared to what you would expect from the Master of the Jedi Order in this series, the series after this one though there were a lot of cool moments. (Another 3 years or so into the future) It also makes him seem...

Lol, complaining about nerds in a Star Wars thread gave me the giggles.

This.

Not to nit pick, but Luke isn't 60-70 in this series. I'm pretty sure Luke's son Ben is only 13. The mandalorian stuff can't be thrown out with any finesse either, the hole would be too big. This series would get a lot of flak from popular media, but the story itself is much better than episode...

Sigh. They deleted 3 or 4 characters outright. Merged the role of at least 2, or three if you want to stretch it. Merged the ending of Books 1 and 2 without any of the dozen plot-lines that explain and add depth to anything Not to mention shorten the time line by over a year. I wouldn't put...

She's done as much stuff with The Piano Guys as she has with a dubstep theme from what I've seen. Honestly if she does more stuff like her Phantom of the Opera remix I'll keep her subscribed and will be pleased if she uploads something decent every 6 months. Her dancing is pretty similar...

The wife saw this trailer for the first time in January and proceeded to make me read all 4 books with her. Better than twilight's universe by far, but by the 4th book they do something that's borderline time travel. (I don't want to spoil the specifics) That always felt like lazy writing to me...

Worth to watch for free. Glad I didn't have to pay. Not enough throw backs, a few more one liners could've made all the difference.

Yep. Most of the people I refer books to don't give two shits about DnD or games period. They just like good reads on a stable time line. Lately we haven't even gotten that here ;-/

Even if you grew up with the books anyone who hasn't paid attention to the universe in the last 2-3 years will be completely lost with everything that's changed. I used to love recommending this universe to new fantasy readers but until the current timeline is settled and makes more sense I've...
