I think it will certainly help, as you say, a little. But not much more than that. It'll still be a tough Christmas for everyone. Jobs are still going to be lost, and people are going struggle for quite a while longer it seems. I think it's just a d...  [Read More]

Fortunately, there isn't enough known about this period, so they can't screw up anything while doing it... For example, Captain Panaka became an Imperial Moff - never made much sense to me why, but it's unfortunately official canon now....  [Read More]

It's a good start. I'd recommend experimenting with some colour - it might bring it to life a bit better than the monochromatic scheme it has. There's nothing wrong with black and white, but it can sometimes make things look a little bland....  [Read More]

Okay, part 2. Part 2 “Let ‘em go?” it seemed that even after saying those three words four times, it was still difficult to understand. McLaine took to pacing the Judge’s office, his boots banging loudly as he went back and...  [Read More]

Thanks for kind words, folks. As I guessed, the writing is positively flowing now that i've made a start. A second part should be up sometime later today. Just what will McLaine do with those two criminals? :) @JAvatar80 - i'm not witty enough for a...  [Read More]

Pretty interesting, but why does Morgan and Sons have such a central location? As you said, no one really wants to have to go there and thus I imagine that most twonspeople would be more comfortable if it was more on the outskirts. What can I say? T...  [Read More]

As some of you may know, I have a great interest in the Old West, and have many books, DVDs and even props from the era (replica pistols, etc). So i'm thinking about turning that interest towards art and fiction. So here's something i've been workin...  [Read More]

At the risk of sounding like a parrot, I'll agree with Litofsky and LordOfTheFish. I like the descriptions of their actions--very nice and clear. How old is Gundar, btw? I can't really say much more as it's pretty brief, but I'll be keeping an eye on...  [Read More]

I don't care that they want to win, I do care when they don't play by the rules. What rules? Someone didn't do something they said they would. That happens a lot, you know. The point is that he entered into a contract, and then it's extremely likel...  [Read More]

It's an election. The guys in it want to win (i'm assuming). Ergo, they'll do everything they can to win. Just because McCain chose to limit his funds doesn't mean that Obama had to. As to his 'breaking his word' - get over it. Obama saw that he wou...  [Read More]

Yeah, but "I'm going to talk to you to death The Video Game" is a very uninteresting Star Wars game. It's even in the name - Star Wars. A Star Wars game without some combat isn't going to go very far. It's built on lightsaber duels and spa...  [Read More]
