Force Arena. It's basically a mix between an RTS and a MOBA.

Hmmm, Khajiit must make like Sherlock and investigate.

Regarding the Empire and ignoring the old EU, they feel basically like jobbers meant to be as unsympathetic and irredeemable (as an overall faction, at least) as possible so we can cheer when legions of faceless soldiers and pilots are unceremoniously killed.
At the same time, this combination of "make them as visually evil-looking as possible" and "make it so you don't feel bad when they get gunned down or blown up" resulted in an aesthetic that I've become quite fond of. The all-encompassing uniforms of their pilots and soldiers, the monochromatic interiors of their bases, and the angular designs of their capitol ships are all quite a sight to see.
On the other hand, the rebels are boring. Not just because they don't have flaws and because anything they do seems to be considered justified, but because in my opinion, their archetypical "good guy" aesthetic (aside from the designs of their iconic starfighters) is so lame.
In short, the bad guys are much cooler looking. I think this is part of the reason why the 501st Legion (the real life costuming organization) boasts about three times as many members as its good guy counterpart the Rebel Legion, despite the fact that it's generally easier and cheaper to assemble a movie-accurate Rebel/Jedi costume than an Imperial/Sith one.

Khajiit agrees with all of this. He's always liked the aesthetic of the Empire over the Rebels. It should also be pointed out that Khajiit also liked the Cobra stuff better when he was playing with GIJoes as a child, lol

QUOTE(SubRosa @ May 5 2017, 07:22 PM)  I liked Jedi Academy. I bought my copy from Gog a year or two ago. I keep meaning to try it again. But right now I am still playing Fallout 4.
Yep, Khajiit thought it was a lot of fun back on XBox. His favorite was force choking fools then force pushing them off cliffs/ledges/catwalks. That or force choking them and then shooting them with the flak gun!

QUOTE(Dark Reaper @ May 5 2017, 09:19 PM)  MY Arc-170 Starfighter I use it for Kyle Katarn for a ship of his own, also Jen Erso makes a nice Jan Ors. Khajiit is kind of surprised they would have made an action figure of Katarn. What series was it?

QUOTE(TheCheshireKhajiit @ May 6 2017, 12:42 AM)  Went ahead and got Jedi Academy and also grabbed KotOR while Khajiit was at it. Both together was like $5. Probably should've gotten KotOR2 also but this one figures it will be May 4th again by the time he could get to it anyway.
Woot! I want to get around to playing KOTOR again as well. There is a topic here about it, with links to lots of mods. Once I get done with F4. You probably won't have to wait until next May the Fourth. Gog has Star Wars games on sale all the time. This post has been edited by SubRosa: May 6 2017, 04:45 PM

Lightsaber combat in Jedi Academy is a lot harder than Khajiit remembers. Then again, he was using an Xbox controller since he was playing on that console. Taking some getting adapted to. Also, this one wishes that GOG Galaxy had a screenshot function. He'd love to show you folks his female Twi'lek Jaden! This post has been edited by TheCheshireKhajiit: May 6 2017, 05:05 PM

If this is on PC it can be done with using the Prt SC button on the keyboard, from there you can go into the paint program and paste the image then save it.
