Official Star Wars VII Thread

I saw the builder's club on Facebook but didn't join. I have too many unfinished projects already, I'm not taking on any more. They said everything will be open source.

The R2 builders were at the two Celebrations I went to. Some of those guys are waaaay into it. And there's always a Death Star mouse droid running around, pretty simple to build out of an RC car.

Trailer should hit at halftime of tonight's game. I will watch it at 4 am when I get up.

I've wanted to do my own Stormtrooper armor for a long time, quality 501st approved - not just some 800 buck eBay armor. I mean, being a Jedi is kinda gay and Stormtroopers are bad ass.

Wha no trailer ... You let me down boys

Ask and ye shall receive....

So there seems to be a Darth Vader 2.0 here..... did Luke follow in his daddy's footsteps??

There's been a how-to on one of the Gawker blogs over the last couple months.

My friend's brother in law has a set but I think it's permanently attached to a mannequin or something.

Got tickets for the 7:30 show on 12-17!

Abrams has already commented on Kylo Ren. I won't spoil it here, but it shouldn't be hard to find.

Look at all the fucking posers & dumb jocks here tonight!

Star Wars? Pfft! That's too mainstream nowadays. Any dumb fuck can watch that shit.

If you want nerd cred, you gotta EARN IT! Fuck Star Wars, I'm playing Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance from 19fuckin'88! OLD SKOOL, motherfuckers!



Well, not exactly old skool... I got a few modern tweaks & third-party programs, BUT THAT ONLY ADDS TO THE NERDNESS!

Man, look at all this fucking text, with just a small window the size of a postage stamp for those fancy modern graphics.



That's how you know you're playing a proper elitist game. Fuck the dumb graphics whores, I'm a true Elitist jerk!

[Seshmeister]

Enough with your advanced shit play a proper game!

Love the "chat" text box in your screen cap... pretty much covers it all 'round these parts:

"You have entered a very unclean stable. There is evidence that a large and untidy animal had lived here".

Yes, you have an most definitely it did.

You completed Adventure in 5 minutes? Get fucked! You used a walkthrough!

I've never played it, though, so I wouldn't really know, but the word is that these old Atari games are very short when you know what you're supposed to do, but they're so cryptic that you'd get stuck until you lucked out. Things like a hidden pixel door in a wall that looks exactly like every other wall & stuff.

Or The Raiders of the Lost Ark, where you had to use the second controller to leave the first screen! No thanks, I love Monkey island & Broken Sword, but there's a limit when it comes to obtuse puzzles. Atari was/is just too cryptic for me.

Honestly, I didn't even think about that. That was just the first room I entered after I posted the first screenshot.

It took me quite a while to get what you were saying, but I did.

So true. So true.

Irony is a funny bitch & the central force behind the workings of the Universe.
