Droppin’ some Star Wars links.

A friend linked me this: The Jedi Gym. Mostly amusing towards the end.

Rumour time! LucasArts Planning Wii MotionPlus Lightsaber game? And here I am thinking they should have done a decent use of the wiimote for the upcoming The Force Unleashed. Since they didn’t, I’m going for the XBox 360 version.

Keep your snacks fresh inside this very rare R2-D2 mini fridge.

This guy built a Boba Fett armor out of LEGO pieces. I wish I had that much free time (and spare LEGO parts) in my hands.

Used to spend all your saving on tradeable card games? Guess what, not you can, but in

. Right.

I’ve been back from my vacations for a few days now and lots of stuff has happened, but I’m too lazy to write about everything and some stuff I’ll only be able to talk about later on. So I’ll just write about whatever else comes to mind.

My Kotobukiya 1/7 ARTFX Clone Trooper has finally arrived. Thanks to our crappy national smail system it took 25 days to get here, and we were already wondering if it ever would. The eBay seller, actually a nice guy who posted the thing asap (and the UK smail stamp confirms it) was ready to return our money if it didn’t get here in a month, but fortunately it got here safely and he got a very nice review on eBay. I’ve assembled it already and it’s happily overlooking my living room. I’ll take and post photos of it at some later time this week. Mister Vader and Mister Boba Fett will have to wait longer, but I’ll keep an eye out on eBay to see if I also get them at a bargain price later on.

Anyway, I found this article on morality stories in games, specifically BioWare games, and thought it was an interesting enough read.

While I’m on the subject of games, yesterday it came to my knowledge that there’s a Games + Music event coming up close by; MyGames ZON. The gaming event activities seem a bit poor in all honesty – Almost no game launch or preview events and it’s so close to the Warhammer Online game launch that I wonder why the Hell are they not having an event centered on that? You know… EA a.k.a. the owner of Mythic who’s WAR’s developer is one of the sponsors listed there. I guess it was very difficult to understand the high expectations surrounding the game. Also, The Force Unleashed is coming out next month and XBox 360, one of the consoles where the game will be available, is also in the list of sponsors. Again, too hard to bother doing a preview event of some kind? Who organizes these things? Oh wait, the name of the event is MyGames ZON. Zon, yeah I can definitely see why there are such huge and silly wholes are in the events’ programming.

I might go there anyway since it’s very unlikely we’ll ever host a decent gaming event here in Tatooine, erm– I mean Portugal. The geographically closest thing we’ll ever get is something like the Blizzard Worldwide Invitational which was in Paris this year, or if our Spanish neighbours ever host something like that. I wish I was rich just so I could happily attend the huge gaming/comics conventions we see in the US and in some European countries.

With this rant I leave you. Later!

Check out this artistic photography gallery, that centers around people dressed up as Star Wars, Star Trek and even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. All look good, but the higher thumbs up goes for the one with the Imperial Guard standing in his living room with a cat at his feet.

Japanator put together a list of the top anime/manga characters who need to diversify their diet. While I was reading the list I was wondering why they didn’t mention any Yakitate Japan! characters. Turns out they did after all.
