And you hate Skyrim but like SFxT. I think that sways more towards you being the one with “off” tastes.
Hell no. Fuck Activision and anything under them. I can’t support anything that has the stink of Bobby Kotick under it. I don’t even drink Coke products anymore because he’s on the board of directors.
You know what depresses me? I can either go broke or bankrupt continuing to do a job that I genuinely love, or pay the bills and work a miserable job like what SoVi3t is describing.
Is this a geek trap, Weeks? It actually is a measurement of distance. but, when you think about it, it’s both the same thang man. Especially when you’re sitting in the Millennium Falcon! :tup:
No, I have that trophy on my shelf. Pray tell, who DID win again?
oh yeah, me
lol. My favourite thing to do with the bags of milk, is stab a straw into the bag, cut it short (so like only a quarter inch is sticking out), then put it under somebody’s pillow (or chair). Then when they lay on it, WHAMMMO. Milk everywhere
DaRabidDuckie. You don’t want a job this bad. This is entire levels of awful. I have had 3 different bosses in less than 6 months, the turnover is fucking insane as well. I’ve been trying to get out for awhile. This is, without a doubt, the worst job I have ever had, and it’s SOUL crushingly bad.
This is what weed/drinking/smoking/martial arts training is for. Vent that rage son. Hell, I think that’s going to be me too. Dunno for how long either/
There is a cluster of black holes in the Kessel system. Pilots can save more time by flying closer to it (thus, in a straighter line), but they also raise the risk of getting caught in one of many inescapable gravity wells. Han Solo calculated a safe course that took him closer than any other pilot or any other ship.
[details=Spoiler]Han Solo won the Falcon from fellow rogue Lando Calrissian in a hand of the card game sabacc. In A New Hope, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker charter the ship to deliver them, C-3PO, R2-D2, and the stolen Death Star plans to Alderaan. Skywalker calls the ship “a piece of junk”, but Solo counters by noting that the ship “may not look like much, but she’s got it where it counts.” When the Falcon is captured by the Death Star, the group conceal themselves in smuggling compartments built into the floor in order to avoid discovery during a search of the ship. Solo later collects his fee for delivering them to the hidden Rebel base and departs, but returns just in time to assist Luke in his attempt to destroy the Death Star.
Solo flies the Falcon, with Chewbacca, Leia, and C-3PO aboard, to elude the Imperial Starfleet in The Empire Strikes Back. They take refuge at Cloud City, where Darth Vader captures Solo and freezes him in carbonite. Lando Calrissian helps the others escape and, at the film’s end, he departs in the Falcon to track down Solo and his captor, Jabba the Hutt. Calrissian again flies the Falcon during the climax of Return of the Jedi, with friend and former smuggler Nien Nunb as co-pilot, leading the Rebels’ successful attack on the second Death Star.
The Falcon is often connected to the Kessel Run, a pathway from Kessel past the Maw Black Hole Cluster used by smugglers to transport precious Glitterstim spice. Solo, in A New Hope, brags that the Falcon made the Kessel Run in “less than twelve parsecs”. As this is a unit of distance, not time, different explanations have been provided. In the fourth draft of the script, Kenobi “reacts to Solo’s stupid attempt to impress them with obvious misinformation.” In the Expanded Universe, it refers to his ability to move the ship closer to the Maw’s black holes and therefore cut the distance traveled. On the A New Hope DVD audio commentary, Lucas comments that, in the Star Wars universe, traveling through hyperspace requires careful navigation to avoid stars, planets, asteroids, and other obstacles, and that since no long-distance journey can be made in a straight line, the “fastest” ship is the one that can plot the “most direct course”, thereby traveling the least distance. The novelization backs away and changes the line to “twelve Standard Time Units.”
Solo’s twelve-parsec Kessel Run, although seeming to contradict the previous paragraph’s statement about a card game victory, was the bet that won him the ship from Calrissian; this bet and how he modified it over time, are all depicted in the novel Rebel Dawn by A. C. Crispin. (However, the Falcon makes its debut in the previous book in the trilogy, The Hutt Gambit, as Calrissian’s personal ship.) In Dark Horse Comics’ “The Kessel Run”, Solo mentions a scam that Calrissian uses to win money back from Solo after losing the Falcon to him.[/details]
Drunk. A very uneducated attempt to save-face after this glaring inaccuracy had been pointed out. Nothing of this sort actually happened in the movie, and no amount of CGI could ever hope to add it.
Obviously more drunk now, and in true-drunk fashion attempting to save even more alcohol-reddened face, George is over-elaborating, drawing him further down into the sarlaccesque pit of just not admitting that he made a mistake.
An obvious save from Lucas’ drinking bud, A.C. Crispin. He comes over to tell The REAL story and saves George Lucas’ hide. Well, a bit. Everyone still avoids Lucas, but at least he feels okay about it. For now. :tup:
People wonder why I smoke weed all day, and get drunk all the time. Because if not, I would kill enough people to land my ass on the news. The irony, is I’m FAR less happy than I was being broke, but enjoying myself during the day.
