@Dr Rotwang!: God did I love that game. Taught me a LOT about how you build a convincing fantasy world. It actually was TOO foreign in a lot of ways, and the insistence on half the book being in an alien tongue was frustrating sometimes - but it had flavour out the yang, and i still think the Shantha were some of the…

What the hell is that "AUX" port on the back for? Anyone know?

"But can it live up to the epic book series?"

Giz, you have the wackiest sense of timing. I read the above post about 20 minutes after I read this [gizmodo.com] and NOW you want me to scuba?!

@Ninja Nemo: And the reverse? X number of people lose jobs in america, chinese government uses it as propaganda to illustrate the failure of corrupt capitalism.

@ex_nihilo: How 'bout a dinner event? I'll bring the six-pack, you bring the potato.

@Castef: Getting Mark Hamill to be part of any SW event is like getting Ahmadinejad to go to a Bar Mitzvah. Don't hold your breath.

@A.Jaswal: TLDR. Seriously.
