SHUT UP LUCAS NOBODY CARES!!

How can a name that I still associate with one of my favorite games ever(Dark Forces) be such a humongous douchenozzle?

Seriously though, I woke up early on my birthday morning in 1995 and my parents had bought/installed Dark Forces and I got to play before I caught the bus. Shit was the bomb. Still remember the Lucas logo in gold sitting in my pajamas.

X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Full Throttle, Day of the Tentacle, Sam and Max ... christ, that name carried weight for a few years.

Not sure which one I played first. Tie or Dark Forces.

Maniac Mansion and Day of the Tentacle bring back great memories. I look forward to the DotT remake coming soon.

Also loved the underrated Zak McKraken.

I played X-Wing when it was still the only one, and "Rebel Assault" before that, which was a railed shooter, and which featured the first new Star Wars footage filmed since Jedi. That was a big deal back then.

Will take Avatar's place in box office records today.

Finally! Avatar being up so high was an embarrassment for this country.

Nice. I had my fingers crossed.

Go go white slavers!

Ignoring Malcolm's love of water sports, Avatar stole a LOT of the plot elements from Aliens. (That was also a Cameron film.)

I'm pretty sure something was posted about this in the Avatar thread.

Yeah I made a list of plot points, and challenged you to say if they were from one movie or the other. Answer: both.

J.J. has publicly confirmed that the shiny aluminum trooper (Phasma) was inspired by the flying silver spheres from Phantasm. Nice.

There is a fucking change.org petition to have Lucas direct Episode IX.

Fuck those people.

We should start a petition to have Tolkien direct the next Lord of the Rings movie. It'd be the same level of logic.
