I don't. :p I agree that MoM suffered from poor AI and show-stopping bugs, but I still enjoy it more than any other game in the genre. It's a great game.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="90" id="3268029"]Actually, I think a great movie would focus on the aftermath of destroying the Empire's power base and the factions that attempt to seize power afterwards.

When I read this thread, I thought it was about the effect of the internet on language. It pains me every time I see a respectable, journal world like "trope" treated like a hussy because of some popular website. :(

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="15" id="3264360"]With the New Jedi order it gets debatable and well after it that's a certainty. But much of the best Star Wars material period is between Episode 6 and New Jedi Order IMO, and that's not an uncommon opinion. At the least they'll need to tread very carefully if they want to make movies in that time period, not the least due to the fact that the characters from the Original trilogy are mostly still around.[/quote] My guess is tha

As the title says, Disney will purchase LucasFilm and release "Star Wars: Episode 7" in 2015. George Lucas has finally called it quits. I'll be interesting to see where the new film falls in the timeline. As a Star Wars fan, I hope that the new film will revitalize the brand in the same way that the remakes and Episodes 1-3 did. What're everyone else's thoughts on this?

[quote who="JackArbiter" reply="8" id="3262531"]I think your additions (which I will incorporate tomorrow) are going to have to do. At one point, in despair, I toyed with the idea of just pointing out the 20 or so flagrant misspellings and typos since these files are so large, and the amount of time I have has been greatly reduced due to personal/work stuff. But these are all excuses; I will have to do a better job going forward.[/quote] I don't blame you. It's reall

Fun fact: Atari doesn't own the Master of Magic trademark in the United States. It was abandoned by Microprose and registered by Nival . (I couldn't find any evidence of registration in European Union countries or as a Community Trade Mark.) Anyone who follows Nival know if they're planning a remake, like with King's Bounty?

You’re not going to like this suggestion, but you should re-edit these files. There are still a large number of errors, and I’m sure I didn’t catch them all. :( In particular, you should look for compound sentences missing commas.

[quote who="JackArbiter" reply="5" id="3255460"]Thanks, I changed the ones except for these. Every Traveler's Cloak reference I can find on google has an apostrophe, and I think the comma belongs after learning since it sets off the prepositional phrase - it seems wrong without it. But you may convince me otherwise.[/quote] You're right about the comma! (It offsets an appositive phrase and not a prepositional phrase.)

@Joeball Thanks. That makes a lot of sense. @JackArbiter No need. I'll just ignore those from now on. As for the Oxford comma, that seems reasonable. Consistency at this point is a fool's errand.
