He was spotted and Darth Vader came after him, not a hundred meters from Palpatine and the Rebels. Galen engaged his master in a massive lightsaber duel, which ended with Galen using the force to throw columns, support beams, and anything he could find at Darth Vader. After defeating Vader and leaving him near death, Galen found himself face-to-face with Palpatine himself. Palpatine offered to make Galen his new apprentice, if he struck down Darth Vader. Kota in defiance stole Palpatine's lightsaber. Palpatine turned his attention to Kota and started to electrocute him with force lightning. Galen, seeking to protect his friend, began using the force to hurl Palpatine into the ceiling and walls. Galen came to the conclusion that it was Palpatine pulling all the strings, all along; that he ordered the death of his father, that he ordered Galen to be raised in darkness. And while confronting Palpatine about these things, Marek continued to attack Palpatine with lightning and throwing him into walls. Galen approached Palpatine, but as he did so, the Emperor told him to give into his hatred to strike him down. But with Kota's guidance, Marek didn't fall for it. As he turned to leave, Palpatine attacked Kota with lightning. Marek in response, drove in front of his friend and took the brunt of the blast. He grapped hold of Palpatine and released some lighning of his own. The two blasts of lightning went through the both of them and created a massive sphere of force energy swirling around them. While the lightning was illuminating the entire room, Galen knew what he had to do if the rebels were to escape. Galen opened his body to the Force and released everything he had within him. The result was an explosive blast that all but destroyed the Emperor's tower.

Just a heads up to the people who wanted to play Japan Game: I am probably going to schedule the first session to be within... a month or so. I am pretty sick right now, which is why I haven't started the game already, but I will probably be going with a Sunday timeslot, or a weekday, based on what I can finagle with work.

I checked with three of the people who said they wanted to play recently and they have all decided to jump ship, because they are fags, I guess, so I will probably be putting up a badass recruitment post in a little bit. I just wanted everyone to know I haven't forgotten about the game and I still want to run it, preferably with a largish party, it is just that it has been very hard to come up with stories that are compelling and meet my personal standards. I want to use this game to return to my old short episodic adventures format that carved out the Awesome System in the first place.

Oh, also, if anyone else wants to jump ship, please let me know!

( A few thoughts on those videos: )

Two philosophers were walking home from a tavern one night, and they stopped at a bridge. "Look at how happy the fish are, playing in the moonlight!" one of them said.

The second said, "You're not a fish, so you don't know whether the fish are happy."

The first replied, "You're not me, so you don't know whether I know the fish are happy."

( Some thoughts on Braid, contains spoilers )

It seems like 90% of the puzzles in Half Life 2 involve making a *sweet ramp* for Gordon Freeman to jump his bike on.

Imagine there was a traincrash that was pregnant, but the baby had to be aborted.

That baby is Dungeons and Dragons 3rd Edition.

[@Samantha] You now carry:
[@Samantha] 5x 50 HP Healing potion, cannot be used in battle
[+Frocto] wow, sweet
[@Samantha] 3x 25 HP Healing potion, can be used in battle (costs 1 AP to use in battle, free outside of battle)
[@Samantha] 2x AP potion (restores randomly 1-3 AP)
[@Samantha] 1x Speed booster (gain +2d6 speed through a whole battle)
[+Frocto] awesome :O
[@Samantha] And you got one voucher left
[+Frocto] I would like some more AP potions, I think!
[@Samantha] The guard hands you an empty box. "They are out. We are not getting many AP potions anymore, for some reason. The Marshal doesnt like that, since he loves being awesome..."
[+Frocto] :D
[+Frocto] I like this Marshal already :D

Oh, so, the wiki page for Braid has the entire story, including the ending, up, without any spoiler tags or anything. I'm PRETTY FUCKING PISSED OFF about this, and I suggest anyone else who hasn't finished the game avoid going there.

( CHAPTER 15: A HOST )

Speaking of which, does anyone actually fucking read these? I mean, I don't give a shit either way, since I've committed myself to finishing it regardless, something which is very easy, given it's just unedited train of thought most of the time, but I was just wondering.

Dark Knight Returns plot synopsis.

This has got to be the best videogame trailer ever

Hey there, friends. Georgia and I are going to the 9 o'clock screening of the new Batman movie at Reading Cinemas on Saturday. Anyone want to come along?

I need at least 9 hours of sleep to be able to concentrate completely at work. I can do my work just fine on as little as 6, but I'm accident-prone and I panic badly if I make a mistake.

That seems like way too much.

Diablo 3 art direction petition.

I'm not going to sign it because I'm not going to play the game, but other people should consider doing so.

Push Tonegawa. Receive bacon.

If you see the guy with nine faces, make sure to ask him if all the tv's are getting a signal. Or whatever his name was.

Possible idea for a drawing, if any artists want to tackle it:

Kenshiro is holding a football for Jaggy and asking him to come and kick it and Jaggy says he won't, because Ken will just make his head explode like last time. Kenshiro finally convinces him to come kick it and then makes Jaggy's head explode with a pressure point attack. Kenshiro laughs at Jaggy for being so dumb and walks off.
