Ay caramba, that's awkward. Make sure you've got the paperwork signed before you announce anything, Mr. Singer!

I appreciate this.

I think it honestly depends, but I will agree that a lot of anime purists prefer the Japanese voice actors simply because that they're Japanese and therefore the dialogue is closer to the original.

Really? Mexico is when the game really starts getting good, IMO.

Except people don't usually think of one site somewhere as completely open to the public. You're right that just about anyone can find it, but that's not the mindset. I know, because I've been involved in fan communities before.

It's interesting you say that, because Orson Scott Card said he specifically wrote them that way because that's how he remembered thinking/acting as a kid.

I'm still a subscriber to the NYT actually. And I'm 23.

That sounds good to me. And very much like TW2 and DX:HR.

I think Paramount just has the rights to film distribution as a licensing deal, actually. But I could be wrong.

Except that Roddenberry's dead and Paramount sold Star Trek to CBS. So they very much have everything to do with it now.

Actually he hasn't flat out said they're non-canon. He's basically just said that he doesn't pay too much attention to them. The official policy from Lucasfilm is that they're a lower level of canon but not apocyrphal - which is to say, they're like the hadiths in Islam rather than the Qur'an on one side and some…

Well, the movie did make a pretty big deal about the fact that A) Wayne was broke and didn't have access to his tech and B) the city was locked down.

I wouldn't describe myself as an exceptionally big fan of the Aliens franchise. But I liked Prometheus. If anything it made me more interested in the series, since it didn't ritualistically play tribute to the old movies.

No, the cities in Origins were pretty typical for BioWare games - low detail, filled with a few quest markers, and kind of flat, lifeless terrain. Which was actually pretty impressive in 2002, when Neverwinter Nights debuted. But it's pretty outdated today.

Yeah, I think that's a pretty good way to do it. TW2 and DX:HR both had better cities than either Bethesda's or BioWare's games.

"Star Trek is a different kettle of fish, since it has two timelines — there's the "Prime" universe, where TOS and TNG live, and there's the Abramsverse of the 2009 and 2013 movies."

I didn't say it was the worst thing ever. I just said that it was pretty horrible. Which it was. And yes, people say pretty horrible things all the time.

Good point. Probably wouldn't work then, unless they had some other kind of adaptation.

I got to admit, that's a pretty horrible thing to say. I mean really, what's the harm in the 501st helping to cheer someone up who's experienced tragedy?

Technician could mean something like a cable guy, which is close to his original incarnation IIRC.
