Because my biology paper is kicking my ass...

...I've decided to gank something from fandom_memes. :)

FANDOM CONVERSION MEME!

Post the name of one of your fandoms (TV show, movie, book series, musician, whatever). People in that fandom can respond with reasons why it's awesome. For instance, if someone (and by "someone", I mean me, obviously) posts "LOST", LOST fans can reply to that comment saying, "It has awesome characters," or "YOU SHOULD ALL WATCH IT 'COS SAWYER IS HOT". There's no limit to how many comments you can make in one thread. You can post funny screencaps, quotes, links to fic, whatever. Just give any reason why people should join the fandom.

However, if you're not in that fandom (again, we'll use LOST as an example), you can ask questions about it. "What's the Dharma Initiative?" "Doesn't that show have a hobbit in it?" "What's up with that polar bear?" Fans can respond to those questions as seriously or funny as they want to be. This is really a meme to encourage people to support their fandom and bring more fans to it. Try not to post a fandom name twice, because long threads are awesome.

As always, remember to pimp, participate, and do other things that start with a "P".

Hmmm... Yeah, I suppose that made sense. I've been thinking of making an exception and try out the SW related games - mainly because it is SW.

Trouble is that game prices in Brazil are just not appealing at all :(((

You know, I actually had thought of starting with The Force Unleashed, but then I found out I'll have to fight Vader in it. This is so silly, but...well, I'm not sure I can do that. *sighs*

That really bites. I'm sorry. *Hugs*

And I know what you mean about fighting Vader. *Hugs more*

*hugs back* Thanks :)

Seriously, with what you pay for ONE game in Brazil, you could buy three or four in the U.S. It's no cool :(

Oh... you do? I feel better, then :)

You're welcome. :)

And permission to say I love your Vader icon? Vader FTW. ^__^

Permission more than granted ;)
He looks like a god in this icon, doesn't he? :)))

I never did finish Force Unleashed. Yeah, it seems like it gets rough with Vader.
But the very first part of it lets you play Vader, and that is AWESOME. Total headrush as you (as Darth Vader) tear through Wookiee villages on Kashyyyk and kick serious Jedi butt with one Jedi Master. Vader is very powerful there.

I also love playing Anakin in the game version of Revenge of the Sith.

Yeah, a friend told me that and made me feel a lot better and re-reconsider ;) Playing as Vader sounds awesome, really! I told my friend I'd probably only play the first part of the game :D

About ROTS, I confess I'm sort of put off by the idea of having Anakin use Force Lightning :\

Re: To start off the discussion:

[identity profile] ladyhadhafang.livejournal.com 2011-05-30 04:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Sounds like a good plan. :)

And yeah, regarding ROTS...Force Lightning's pretty cool, but becomes a Harsher in Hindsight moment considering the ending scene of ROTJ. :/
(Or...Bittersweet in Hindsight? :)

For me it's considering both AOTC and the end of ROTJ, plus that I don't really see it as being his style :\

Yeah. I can imagine. *Jots down notes for Role Reversal verse* What? My mind gets busy. XD

As I understand it you have a choice to not fight Vader, but I don't know for sure and how it's supposed to work out.

I highly recommend that first part, it's totally cool as the fighting style does reflect Vader's character as seen in the movies.

*completely forgot that Force Lightning bit. I think I only played the saber styles, and totally loved beating the snot out of Mace Windu, although Dooku was hard*

I might give the games a shot... when I can afford to buy them :)
