Sharks Gameday: Shark Wars: A New Hope



 

My countdown of my 82 favorite movies continues with Star Wars: A New Hope. But today is Sunday and I'm really lazy and/or busy. If only we already had a bunch of stuff somewhere on this blog connecting Star Wars and hockey is some way! That totally seems like something we would have done around here at some point!

But I guess not. Sorry everybody.

Honestly it's sort of hard to know how much I really enjoy a movie like Star Wars, anymore. I've seen it a bunch of times, but most of those viewings happened when I was a kid. I really loved it back then, of course. I still like it a lot...I think. It's just so difficult to separate what was good and enjoyable about the first Star Wars movie and what has been horrible and crappy about most everything else related to Star Wars that has happened in my adult life.

And don't get me started on Star Wars fans. Holy balls.

Knights of the Old Republic was a really good game, though. There's no denying that.

Sharks vs. Avalanche. Bring it. Use the Force, or something.

Prediction: Hey remember how cool and evil Darth Vader seemed in the original Star Wars movie? Remember how scary he was? He was basically the greatest bad guy ever for like thirty years. Now...I don't know, man. I think he might have been totally ruined - and I've never even seen any of the prequel movies!

(Oh hey I found something).

I think this is the first time you’ve posted a game preview before FTF. With this and your massive amount of PK stats the other day, this is starting to look like a real blog. Bravo!

Do you remember April 2010, the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs? Do you remember the terrible things these very same Sharks did, all those cheap shots and douche maneuvers?

I say we do those same terrible things again and win!

I was in hysterics when I heard that call on the radio! So hilarious and unbelievable. It might have been a painful memory, though, if we had lost that series.

Okay California people – I need help – a friend’s sister was telling us about a place she saw, but can’t remember where in the State she saw it -

it was on a mountainside, about 7-9 railroad tracks and of course, a trains on them … she couldn’t recall if it was one looping thru or several or what … if it was northern, central or southern Ca … I’ve tried going to google but my search requests are too vague since I don’t have that much info to go on … anyone know what she might be referring to and where?

Knights of the Old Republic was a really good game, though. There’s no denying that.

What did you (or anybody else) think of KOTOR 2?

Anyone planning on buying TOR (release date 20 December, IIRC)?

It is that thing that I sent to you.

by whine_country on Nov 20, 2011 1:18 PM PST reply actions  

I didn't like KOTOR.

But that’s mostly because I played it for hours and hours and got to a really far level and it was awesome and then the game crashed and I couldn’t go on anymore.

I thought KOTOR 2 was an unfinished game.

Played it mulptiple times, but never really liked it. The systems were more complex than KOTOR 1 to be sure, but it just felt like it was abandoned midway through development. I’ve read some of the plots that they had written for the game, but never actually put in.

I’ve had a chance to play the beta for an extended period (not the beta weekends) and can say that the combat in the game is pretty run-of-the-mill MMO. However, the story makes it very engaging and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the ones that I’ve put some time into. Enough to pre-order the game.
