    Favorite part of ISU campus

    That Lago courtyard in the spring is tough to beat. And I never had a class there. I also like the area between the library, Curtis, the Hub and Black. Whatever those purple flowering trees were.

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    To me, Andor is the closest to what I think about when I remember SW as a kid. I have a hard time seeing them do anything like that again, sadly.

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    I was 3 when ANH came out. 6 for ESB. To me, the biggest issues with the prequels and sequels was that even then, the droids were enough comic relief for me. I may not have understood the whole thing, but I understood enough to know that it was great. But they started inserting burp and fart...

    They could have cut that whole casino part of the movie and they would have been better for it. On top of that, they completely misused Benicio DelToro. They gave him a weird stutter instead of letting him be a Han/Lando rogue. It was right there and they blew it.

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    I agree with that. They had some really good characters and the lightsaber fights were great. The main character was the issue. First off, she wasn’t very good, second there didn’t need to be twins. The lesbian witches didn’t help. But the final straw for me was the created by the force...

    Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread

    I thought mando was really good! It probably lacked a little bit of tension and consequences just because they weren’t saving the galaxy or anything. Marvel ran into the same thing once Endgame was over. After you watch them fight over the fate of the universe, it's kinda tough to watch...

    Europe (Germany) Guided Travel Recommendations

    We went last summer. That castle wasn't high on my list, but the wife wanted to see it so we went. It was OK. Not something I'd want to see again. Munich was fun though. The big beer halls were a blast. I would not go during Oktoberfest...it was crowded enough in August when we went. My...

    I'm going maybe today. Not super excited, but it will be fun to see SW in a theater again. They really hurt that show in S3 and the Boba Fett series. Through S2 it was really good and then it kind of went off the rails. The thing is, you already have a captive audience. Just don't screw it...

    K-State Podcaster Says Ames is Worst Road trip in Big 12!

    I agree with this. The biggest problem with Ames is how it's set up. And that's because the university was separate from the city when it was first started. Duff is almost all chains. Main St is nice, but could be better. Campustown isn't great. Now we're going to build another...

    Blissfully Oblivious: Songs Many Misunderstand

    I like when people think “hey little girl is your daddy home?” from I’m On Fire is somehow pedo. Like he’s not singing about an actual child. Oh, and Stolen Car is not actually about driving a stolen car, it’s about living a lie.

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    Yes, they’d have to demo that whole thing. But honestly it needs to happen.

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    They definitely need to be wider, as that concourse is a mess on gamedays. If they sell beer, it's going to be worse.

    Cytown Update

    I agree. Honestly, the perfect business to put in there would be the Iowa Taproom. A bunch of beers on tap, still sell domestics, a good menu. They'll need rooftop seating and the ability to open up garage doors on nice days. It would be great to get the Full Court Press group in there, as...

    JTS Improvements - Want More

    If it ever happens, I think that the next big project will be to widen the concourses. Set those concessions/restrooms back about 20 feet. Part of that would be a new facade. And it would make room for a new press box. You do that and the stadium looks big time. It would also make room for...

    Cytown Update

    I don’t think that west o is big enough to pull something like that off. Plus I think to be successful in a place like this, you need a real food menu. Taprooms that sell pretzels and flatbread pizzas aren’t going to make it.
