I think almost everything about this series is better. I don't think it's going to be a cop out like the last one. No more of the "It's not magic, it's science. IT'S NOT MAGIC, IT'S SCIENCE. IT'S NOT FUCKING MAGIC, IT'S SCIENCE....... Oh wait, it's magic." bullshit. I mean, the first series was awesome, it's just the way they ended things was a total bummer. I think it'll be completely different in this series. I'm around episode 35. How far are you into it?

I really need to get into these series. What little I've seen I loved. Anybody have any links to watch this online?

I'm not sure if you care about it only have subtitles or not, if you want english dubbed versions, just tell me and I'll try to find them. But I'm pretty sure the first series is on there with english dubs.

I've only watched the ones they've aired on adultswim. I am just going to watch them as they air it that way. I've already seen the first one so I'm not trying to rush and see all the new ones yet. I liked the way they built up the story in the last one. This one is much faster paced, which could be good considering they'll probably do everything towards the end way differently. The ending they put in conqueror of shamballa was okay. It pissed me off kind of, but I was alright with it. Also, they didn't show it on adultswim yet, but my cousins girlfriend said that scar teams up with ed an al. I want to see that.

Been eating up the Eldrazi cards since the pre release, got six packs that day, plus the Emrakul, and then today I got an under the table on 4 of the 5 intro packs. Hittin that fat pack on Friday! Dammmnnnnnn there are some powerful cards in this mess. The Eldrazi creatures although good seem to be few and far between, and the big sleeper for me is the totem armor. SO GOOD!!! That and the levelers... but I mean those were always cool. Get down with it!

I pulled some sweet shit in the prerelease. I got a kozilek in the first pack I opened. I also got linvala. I put kozilek and emrakul in my mono green edh deck and played three games with it and elvish pipered one of them out each game by turn 5. it was weird but awesome. for me at least. and totem armor is like false demise but with an actual benefit other than keeping something alive. Snake umbra is great because it gives green card draw. Also, White got some card draw this time too, which is weird, but great.

A lot of things are different about this one. A few events that happened during the past change. After like the 12th or 13th episode, it becomes COMPLETELY different from the first one. I liked the first one a lot, too. But I think this series blows the old one out of the water. But yeah, Scar ends up teaming up with everyone in this series. He's a lot different of a person than he was in the first one, though. A lot of the events of his past has change. But I'll stop ruining it for you. All I have to say is one more thing...

Roy Mustang is pretty badass. I heard about the things you were just talking about from my cousin's girlfriend already, so you didn't ruin it. also, i just keep watching the fuhrer now because of the end of the last one. it's like i'm waiting for him to slip up and get caught or something. do you watch neon genesis evangelion?

100% why I built my PC. And you're 100% right about that statement too. WoW can suck my lightsaber hilt-size boner when that game comes out.

AaronBondroff wrote:Star Wars: The Old Republic is going make World of Warcraft look like Runescape. Anyone else agree?

Eh, i was this excited about this game when i heard of the first press release a year and a half ago. I've played galaxies and know any other mmo would be better than galaxies (especially after the SOE take over.) The game looks good, but how they have been releasing information has been terrible. They portray it in one way, then show new footage that is completely different and has no relevance to their previous info release. There isn't much of what the game is exactly going to be like yet and the only thing they really emphasize is that "it's the first fully voiced mmo." All the time and money spent into the voice recording and character/npc creation for this could have been put toward making the game better and releasing sooner. Have they even started the beta or alpha test yet?
ffxiv, get into it.

There's a combat video. The way they have been releasing info does kind of suck, but I completely disagree with " All the time and money spent into the voice recording and character/npc creation for this could have been put toward making the game better and releasing sooner.". They're trying to make a game that's on a different level than anything else ever made. They're going to take their time, do it right and not rush anything. I mean, sometimes I wish they would, but I just think it'll be better this way. The release date is supposed to be next spring, though.

And nothing will ever compare to FF7 or FF10. Best console games ever created except the Ocarina of Time.

They shouldn't of started releasing info until this summer in my opinion. They put out their beta invites wayyy before FFXIV did and ffxiv is already in closed alpha stage. No one is truly going to appreciate the mmo being fully voiced. I've watched the combat video, but it still doesn't show how it coagulates and actually works within the regular play. They've showed combat clips, and clips that make the game look like just another SWKTOR game but with your friends.
online. there isn't any certainty on how the game is actually going to be like.
