Why were we watching Barbara Walters? It had to do with Star Wars or something. Must have been a 25th anniversary special or something.

There was a period, in the nineties, where I tried to catch everything Harrison Ford was in.  I had an art professor at USC, who went to high school with Ford.  His name was Harry and they both shared a teacher who got the both of them confused and would call him Harry Ford.

The Barbara Walters special interviewed Ford because it was when the special editions came out in theaters.  1997, I think.

[asked if he would ever play Han Solo again]" No, because I have outgrown that character."

Well so much for that. LOL

*Tonight the part of Iga_Bobovic will be played by Robio*

Well you just discredited your entire arguement. You present an interview where you've clearly pointed out that Harrison Ford lied about what he said, and then expect me to believe the other half of it? Nope, sorry not buying it. The man has no credibility for me to take him at his word. Therefore my original statement stands and wins.

It's all kind of silly to argue about anyway, because as we all know.... Han Solo is a bitch.

Aw, I was curious as to what my old professor has been up toSad :

Harry Hansen taught at the University of South Carolina for 33 years, from 1970 to 2003. He worked his way up to Professor of Art and Associate Head of the Art Department. USC was his life, where he loved teaching students about the basics of art. He also taught Encaustic Painting and Watercolor, two fields in which he excelled. Many of his students have gone on to successful careers in diverse fields of art: art teachers, painters, graphic designers, and even an award winning editorial cartoonist.

Harry’s own artwork is in public and private collections throughout the southeast. His paintings, shown nationally and regionally, have won numerous awards. He often traveled around the state to teach painting workshops and to jury art exhibits for South Carolina’s many art groups. In 2006 McKissick Museum, USC, hosted a retrospective exhibition, The Essence of Nature: Works by Harry Hansen. Comments collected during the exhibition, especially from former students, are heartwarming in their regard to Harry as a teacher and as a person who cared for each student’s future.In Harry’s late 50’s he began showing signs of confusion and stopped making any art. No one knew what was happening to him, as he went from doctor to doctor. He began to withdraw from friends and stopped playing squash, a sport he’d played and enjoyed for years. Finally an official diagnosis of Vascular Dementia, akin to Alzheimer’s Disease, was given in 2005, when he was 63. Harry continued to sink more and more into his own world, which became smaller and smaller. That he doesn’t know what is wrong with him, is the blessing of his disease. The difficulty has been for family and friends to watch him slowly slip away. He now lives in the moment and is content. Amazingly, Harry still recognizes his own artworks and still enjoys the activity of drawing.

J.J. Abrams will kill Han. Han's soul will then travel through time and space to a magical island in a galaxy far far away as a puff of black smoke. He will then meet up with some weird people who survives a plane crash on a planet ruled by super intelligent bald men. Han will then team up with Yoda, Obi Wan and Darth Vader's spirits via the Force, and teach those weird people who survived the plane crash to become a new race of Jedi Knights that'll travel back and forth from an an alternate universe which is exactly like theirs only slightly more advanced and take down those evil bald oppressors by destroying their supreme super computer which is only a partially built yet fully functional battle station!

For anyone that cares to know: Fire Emblem is some of Nintendo's finest work to date! It's just one of those games that EVERYTHING is done soooo well, it's next to impossible to find any faults with it. The difficulty is absolutely PERFECT; it is COMPLETELY your own fault if you fail or succeed. I am surprised at the DLC so far. The majority of it is battles against teams of previous Fire Emblem heroes. If you beat that battle, you can add the hero commander to your own army. Very handy... and the battles are NOT easy. There are 3 of those so far. The latest DLC is a battle where you kill undead enemies purely for the sake of earning gold to buy better equipment. In the normal game, it is tough to earn a lot of gold on your own, so effectively you have to pay to earn gold. Sounds like a cheap ploy by Nintendo to make money... but the battle is actually a LOT of fun! Not something you would normally expect from them, but it's done in a way, you don't mind it in the least!

The relationship building, pairing of allies and eventual union of team mates and their off-springs... so simple, yet so compelling. Intelligent Systems has topped themselves with this one, and with their past track record, that's saying A. LOT!

Leo that makes it sound like a good time for me to get into Fire Emblem when it gets released in Europe.  I loved the GBA ones a lot but skipped the NGC, Wii and DS ones (even though perhaps I shouldn't have).  Feels like the 3DS one is really great.

Guys, those of you playing Ni No Kuni (Archie and possibly Robio?), have you been able to make a familiar of the green banana guy in the desert?  I need to do that to complete a side quest but he never seems to "fall in love" even if I make the battle last very long.  It's pissing me off.

Last Guardian a PS4 game now?  Grrrrrreat!

I'm still not buying another console before I can get my hands on the damn thing.  I bought a ps3 for The Last Guardian and I bought a psp after the promise of a Fumito Ueda portable game.  Not saying I regretted either of those, but the days when I would buy hardware in anticipation of a game are long gone

Sorry, I opted to go old school with my Level 5 game this month and bought Rogue Galaxy instead.

By the way Bugs did you end up getting Anarchy Reigns? If so.... I'm very sorry. If you're not a collector, sell the damned thing now. The multiplayer is really the only good part of it, but the online community for it is so small it's too hard to get into a really good battle.
