Yeah, but Im a cool geek. :cool:

You're only a geek if you wear the Star Wars outfits.
-
I dont have any outfits... but I do have a lightsaber and once made a model of an X-Wing... am I condemned? :confused:
-
That depends.. did you buy the lightsaber for yourself as an adult... or was it a present for you when you were a kid?
And... just to clarify...
By geek, everyone is reffering to star wars geeks as a particular subset to the geek family of which they too are members. Basically, you're a geek in the eyes of other geeks. ;)

At least you didn't watch the Lord of the Rings movie.

Awww man..... i love starwars, hope you have fun playing SWG, saurdauker. Knowing my luck i'll never get picked to play in the beta.:(
How about posting some screenshots....:D
-
Your only a geek if your callsign is taken from an obscure starwars character...diddly.
-
I'm jealous :D
-
Wow...I found this while looking up Thrawn's name...

I think in one way or another, we're all pretty much geeks. :D

Was invited to participate in the Star Wars Galaxies Beta.

Dont be knockin those lightsabers! They ain't cheap toys! Some run $600-800! I think they are kinda cool!
I have a model of an X-Wing too! Anyone who is into WWII combat, must appriciate the looks of an X-Wing!!
:)

Well, thats good because... eh... I dunno - but there are like 3 billion people that signed up as potential testers - to my knowledge they only picked a few hundred. I suppose since I posted on the site like 3 times in the past 18 months, they thought I was a safe bet for not violating the non-disclosure agreement. :D
The beta CD should be here on Wednesday, I dunno what Im allowed to say or post screenshot wise, but Im betting its pretty limited beyond "Its cool." At this point Im just trying to be careful to not get kicked out of the test for shooting my mouth off - the agreement was pretty strict - they threaten to kill your parents and children or something if you release unauthorized game material.
As for lightsabers - I dont know anyone who didnt ask their father to "build them one" as a kid. That Master Replica's sight is where I got mine (Anakin FX). The actual prop colleciton (the big $$$ ones) are impressive, but dont really interest me - the blade and sound of the FX saber is what I wanted... day or night, it lights up the entire room. :D
As a collectible, this product is not a toy and not suitable for children under 12 years of age. Adult supervision is recommended. This product should not be used to strike others and should never be disassembled since it operates on high voltage.
Come on now - the only people who arent Star Wars geeks are Star Trek geeks and we all know they are far, far worse... "Plot a course for the Star Wars thread and set your flames to stun!" ;)

Found some screenies I CAN post - feast your eyes on these. :eek:
Sorry for the size, I dunno how to make them smaller.

Will do - my station name is... strangely enough - Saurdaukkar (yes, 2 K's). I dont have access to the forums yet (I assume this will happen soon?) But I did get a shipping confirmation today for the CD. :D

Beta testing isn't about getting the most technically saavy users to test out the product. It's about getting a good cross-section of your expected user-base to run it through its paces from all angles that you couldn't possibly expect. Sometimes the biggest bonehead computer users have a way of picking out the obvious that techies can miss.

Star Wars? Isn't that the TV sci-fi show starring William Shatner? Didn't that go off the air back in the late '60s?

I seen a laborer on a job a few years back that bought an OSHA aproved hardhat that looked like vaders helmet. I don't know who's the bigger geek, him or the guy who made it.
