First Post!

Most of Sunday was spent sleeping, it was nice to get more than 4-5 hours after a week. But now it's back to business as usual. I imagine we'll be seeing a good amount of post-E3 news this week. Also if you didn't see Steve's post shackspace.com now has a basic tutorial about mounting your Shackspace as a drive in Windows. Movie: That's quite a kung-fu grip you've got there.















  • Star Wars Ep3 Thoughts.

    Scrolled through the comments, didn't see anybody talk about this, so I thought I'd bring it up. This really isn't much of a spoiler, since we all know Anakin goes bad, but I'll tag it anyway. The topic is basically the pyschology of Anakins fall, which I was surprised to find rather well done.

    Anakin is confused and feels isolated. The Jedi let him down by not upholding their convictions (you can clearly see this in the Mace Windu/Palpatine scene). Palpatine lets him down by being a Sith Lord. Anakin can't find a side he really likes/trusts. In the end, he snaps and chooses a side (the side that will keep Padme alive) and then he just sticks to it all the way. His reasons for going through with everything evil are because he couldn't stand the indecision of everything, and he doesn't want to do something half way. This is supported by ObiWan saying that only a Sith thinks in absolutes: ie, it's wrong to not leave any room for the possibility that you are wrong, which by the way doesn't mean that you are wrong or shouldn't believe strongly in anything.

    Not to say that is the only reason why he fell, but I think that was a huge part of it.
