| Pavlos has been getting all the good interviews lately, so I decided that to get back at him I would set up an interview with the Dark Lord himself. Well unfortunately Revan's agent refused to return my calls, so I had to settle with a Dark Lord -- Darth Malak.

Over at Lucasforums, I commented that if you think you’re perfect, try walking on water. Or as my ex-wife would say, if you think you’re god, try herding cats.
Why am I saying this? Originally, it was because they took a section of non-Star Wars fiction and as the Critic, I felt it was my duty to review them as well. Then I found I had made two serious blunders.
Back when I started, I didn’t think to post the comments in this column where the people in Kotorfanmedia could read it. Finally, after much wrangling, The admins over at KFM allowed that instead of posting the entire column every week, I was allowed to post the comments to the author’s comment section without hyperlinks. Well I started to do just that, but one thing led to another, you know, moving from California to Las Vegas, working at a job, trying to write and do this article every week…
Let’s say my plate was full, and it bit me on the behind this week, because three of the reviews were reprise picks that weren’t officially reviewed (At least at KFM).
The other was when I began I was going through the Author’s list from start to finish, but less than two weeks into my tenure the list went away and has never been reinstituted, so I missed some good work. One of them is mentioned this week for the first time.
Mea Maxima Culpa.
This week we have some good stuff, some that didn’t get the credit they deserved when I posted the reviews originally.
From Coruscant Entertainment Center we have Tysyacha’s non Star Wars work
Four Rogues: A Dramedy
From kotorfanmedia we have Winter Onasi’s
The Final Moments
We have the Reprise Picks of the week CodeNameTargeter’s
Return, Jedi Serenity’s
The Return of Revan, and FalnAngel9124’s
A Mismatched Set-Chapter One
But two people share this spotlight today. EmeryBoard’s
The Paths We Take and the late and really worth it addition of Amber Penglass’s
Spoken For
Signing off…

As ever: the discussion is here
The final part in our trilogy of blockbuster interviews - the site had a record seven readers - with Mr. Vince D. Weller, of indie developer Iron Tower Studio, has arrived.
If you haven't already then grab part one here and part two here.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did making it.
Yes, part three is much longer than all of the other parts. No, I can't split things up properly.

Discuss it here...
Mr. Vince D. Weller of indie developer Iron Tower Studio was kind enough to answer my pleas for an audience which resulted in this obscenely over-sized interview about their current work in progress Age of Decadence and game design in general. The whole thing is around three thousand words long. So this is part one of three. Parts two and three will be released on Wednesday and Thursday respectively.
So, obviously, major kudos goes to Mr. Weller for this.
Enjoy!

| So I was pondering the KotOR and TSL ratings today after having my customary lunch hot dog. So the games are both rated TEEN, right? Let's reflect on some lovely game moments:

Tech support training, both fun and boring. You guys came through again with some pretty good stuff.
From Coruscant Entertainment Center we have the return of Tysyacha, with a pick of the week for two of the three following stories, The Jedi, Reloaded P'yanitsa "Barfly" and [Url=http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=188300] [Episode II-III Fic] I, Vader [/url]
Why three, but only two get picked? Let’s just say I give out Whatever prizes and choose the questions. Check my column there to see who wins this one.
Mr BFA is back after a hiatus with A Broken Mind .
Then kotorfanmedia came through with Jelenedra’s
I Have a Good Feeling About This... Nivenus’s No One is Beneath Redemption
But the Winner this week is Aminta Jae’s
The Love Star
Well posting early because my new schedule has me working Friday mornings. Signing off…

One of the greatest phenomena of film-making, in my opinion, is why on Earth someone would want to translate dialogue from English only to translate it right back to English. Of course as we should all well know this causes some of the funniest English subtitles known to man.
So in honor of all the silly Japanese and Chinese folks who feel the need to translate things to their language only to add in horribly inaccurate English subtitles I'm going to mangle up some KotOR dialogue by translating it to Chinese and then back to English, courtesy of AltaVista's wondrous translation tool and the funniest quotes thread. Enjoy, and see if you can guess what these dialogues originally said!
