Hundreds of video games get released every year, and there’s not enough time to play them all. How are you supposed to know which games are worth your time? Video game news and reviews sites are a good way to keep up with what’s happening in the gaming world and see if the latest releases are worth buying.

We’ve picked out the best game review sites and video game news sites on the internet to help with this. Whether you want to check on a game’s quality before buying it, or just want to browse the latest gaming headlines, one of these great game websites will serve you well.

A Word on Mainstream Gaming Sites

Video games journalism has gone through a lot of problems in the past decade. We’ll spare specific details here, but suffice it to say that several well-known video game websites have suffered major breaches of ethics: collusion, undisclosed financial ties, and cronyism, among other behaviors.

Additionally, for many gaming sites, the focus has shifted away from reviewing games based primarily on their gameplay and quality. Now, some sites emphasize social and political issues above all else, or even have authors who treat some articles like their personal blog. Other gaming sites have branched out to cover other forms of entertainment (like movies, TV, and music) to the detriment of their gaming coverage.

We encourage you to research these issues and draw your own conclusions about whether you want to follow such mainstream gaming sites. Whatever sites you do choose to read, it’s important that you pay attention to the writers you’re reading, not just the site. There really isn’t a “best game review site” for everyone, since quality differs among the authors at various sites.

1. Destructoid

Destructoid is a great all-around gaming site with a bit of everything. It publishes articles regularly, with lots of news posts, reviews, and features appearing each week. This includes updates on certain games, previews of upcoming games, and opinion pieces.

It’s not just a gaming news site, though. Destructoid publishes reviews of console and PC games, as well as mobile titles and even DLC. Its reviews are straightforward, and you can read Destructoid’s scoring system to understand how it rates games.

Top off this coverage with video content and community forums, and you’ve got a solid video game website anyone can enjoy.

2. GamesRadar+

Another gaming news site that offers a healthy balance of content, GamesRadar+ provides news, reviews, features, hands-on looks at new games, and more. You can view reviews and guides for games on your favorite system, or check out the latest news and reviews.

GamesRadar+ doesn’t review the volume of games many other sites do. At the time of writing, the site’s latest batch of reviews includes a few big-name games, but are mostly hardware reviews. This shows that the staff takes their time and doesn’t rush out reviews.

In the reviews, clear Pros/Cons lists and a summary of the verdict make them easy to skim. Overall, GamesRadar+ provides lots of content to check out, as well as quick stories for staying abreast of gaming news.

3. Game Informer

Game Informer is a long-running video game magazine that also has a website. Unlike other gaming websites that also feature content for movies and TV, this one is all about games (occasionally covering movies and TV based on games). You’ll find news, previews of upcoming games, reviews, and features.

It’s an old-school take on a game website in the overcomplicated modern age, which is welcome. Many of the staff are longtime game players, and the site has a professional feel to it. It summarizes its reviews with a number, which not all gaming sites do nowadays.

Overall, Game Informer is a website run by people who love video games, built for players. The site doesn’t review every little game, but what’s here is excellent and there’s no political nonsense to worry about.

4. Metacritic

If you don’t feel like wading through detailed reviews and just want a quick score to see if a game is worth playing, Metacritic is for you. It’s not a review website in itself, but instead aggregates scores from various game review websites (like Rotten Tomatoes and similar websites do for movies).

Search for a game, and you’ll see a weighted score from 1-100. You can click through to read individual reviews, or compare what the critics thought to user reviews.

A lot of the time, it’s hard to sum up a game’s quality in a single number. Thus, many people have issues with the weight placed on Metacritic, but it’s a fine place to start your research on a game. Just remember that a numbered score isn’t everything.

5. Nintendo Life

As its name suggests, this is one of the best gaming websites for Nintendo enthusiasts. Nintendo Life specializes in covering the Nintendo Switch, 3DS, eShop, and similar topics. You’ll find reviews, news, features, and even original videos.

The guides stand out here. They provide help for major games, such as type weaknesses in Pokémon or how to spot fake paintings in Animal Crossing. The site reviews downloadable eShop titles as well as mainstream releases, so there’s a lot of coverage.

With a pleasant community in the forums and comment sections, this is a must-visit for all Nintendo fans.

6. GameSpot

GameSpot is a well-known gaming site that’s worth a visit. You’ll find popular and recent news on its homepage, along with lists of upcoming games and recent reviews.

The site reviews games, both popular and small, on every platform. For something a little different, you can also check out its video shows and forums to connect with other gamers.

There are some occasional quirks with its reviews, like the writer mentioning that they didn’t play through the entire game. Because of this, it is nice to see a summary of what the reviewer played at the bottom of the article. But overall, it’s a quality resource.

7. Christ Centered Gamer

With the above discussion of bias in games, you might think a site with an obvious predisposition is an odd choice to include. But Christ Centered Gamer has received praise for its clear reviews from people concerned about the ethics of mainstream game sites.

Unlike sites that let author biases influence their ranking of a game’s quality, this site separates its reviews into two scores. One scores the game technically on its gameplay, controls, and other qualities. The other scores the morality of the game, based on factors like language, sexual content, and similar.

If you’re a person of faith, or want more information about video games for your children beyond the basic game age rating, you can take the morality score into account. But if you don’t care about that, you can skip right past it and still enjoy a quality review of the game on its own merits.

This page isn’t as well-known as some other game review sites, but it’s up-front about its biases and hasn’t had concerning breaches of ethics. You may find that refreshing.

Websites for User-Written Game Reviews

The above sites are all professional publications for game news and reviews. However, don’t forget that there are tons of resources online to read user-created reviews too. Since opinions on games are subjective, you might prefer to read several reviews from everyday players in addition to, or instead of, professional articles.

YouTube

Anyone with an opinion and a YouTube channel can make a video reviewing a game. If you prefer to watch gameplay for a game instead of just reading about it, this is a great option. Chances are that you’ll be able to find someone talking about the game you’re interested in. Have a look at the best YouTube game review channels to start.

GameFAQS

In addition to being one of the best places for game walkthroughs, GameFAQs is a useful resource for user reviews of games too. Search for a game and check its Reviews tab to see what others thought about it.

These reviews don’t follow any particular pattern, so it’s up to each person to discuss what they feel is important and structure the review accordingly.

Steam

Steam has a handy review system that makes it easy to see what a lot of other players thought about the game. Just scroll down on any game’s page on Steam to take a look. You can filter by positive or negative reviews, how long the reviewer played the game, and other criteria. It’s even possible to see a graph of reviews over time.

A lot of games feature “funny” reviews, which aren’t that useful, but you can filter some of those out with Steam’s tools. Others can give awards for reviews, and the most helpful ones rise to the top. Even if you don’t play on PC, checking Steam reviews for any game that you’re interested in is a helpful resource.

The Top Video Game Websites Worth Your Time

The best video game websites aren’t necessarily the ones you hear about often. Many game websites have major drawbacks—whether it’s a lack of ethics, poorly justified review scores, or a radical bias. But these sites are great places to get your video game reviews, as well as some news.

In addition to these options, it’s a good idea to find some Twitch streamers that you enjoy. Game websites employ dozens of people, which makes it difficult to find a consistent voice. With a single streamer, you can understand their preferences and better see if a game is right for you. Plus, seeing a game in real-time for yourself always helps.

Do you want to download videos from the internet? If you see a video you like on Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, or other leading video sites, you might want to create a copy to keep it forever.

Thankfully, downloading videos off the internet is surprisingly easy, and we’ll look at the best ways to do it for free.

In this article, we cover video downloaders for specific social media sites, flexible all-in-one downloaders, and screen recorders so you can be sure to get any video you want online.

1. Y2Mate

Y2Mate is one of the best YouTube video downloaders. Just copy the URL of the YouTube video you want to download, paste it into the Y2Mate’s URL field, and press Enter. On the next page, click the green Download Video button.

Then, choose from five download resolutions (144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p, and 1080p) in MP4 or WebM format. The estimated file size is also shown. Click the Download button next to your preferred resolution to start downloading the YouTube video for offline viewing.

You can also use Y2Mate to download the MP3 audio of YouTube videos.

2. SSSTik

SSSTik is a popular TikTok video downloader. This tool stands out because it lets you download TikTok videos without the watermark.

Like Y2Mate, the download steps are essentially the same. Just copy the TikTok video’s URL, paste it to SSSTik’s URL field, and click Download. Then, click the Without Watermark button to download the TikTok video.

You can also use SSSTik to download the MP3 audio used in the TikTok video.

3. DownloadTwitterVideo

Twitter doesn’t have as many video posts as TikTok or Facebook, but if there’s any video you want to download from there, Download Twitter Videos does the job.

Copy the tweet’s URL containing the video you want, then paste it to Download Twitter Videos. You can select whether you want to save it as MP4 or MP4 HD.

4. iGram

Instagram initially forged its reputation as a photo-sharing service, but it has since also positioned itself as a video platform. iGram helps you download Instagram reels and videos as MP4 files.

Besides videos, you can also use iGram to download Instagram photos. You can choose three different resolutions, but any photo you download will only be available as a JPEG.

5. FDown

FDown is a tool for downloading public videos or reels off Facebook. Just copy the Facebook URL and paste it to FDown to download it. You can choose to download the Facebook video in normal or HD quality.

Take note that FDown may sometimes provide an inaccurate video duration estimate. For example, the site may detect that your 3-minute video is 180 hours. You can simply ignore this. Rest assured that your downloaded file will have the correct duration.

FDown also has a Chrome extension called Video Downloader Plus. With the extension, you don’t need to leave the social network’s homepage if you find something you want to save. However, the extension will only let you download videos in HD quality, and thus the file size will be larger.

In the past, FDown also served as a private Facebook video downloader. Although the service has been disabled since 2019, there are still alternative methods to download private Facebook videos.

6. Pokopin

Pokopin is a Pinterest video downloader. If you’re browsing your topic of interest and come across a good video tutorial, you don’t have to find its original YouTube or TikTok source to download it. With Pokopin, you can download the video directly from Pinterest.

In Pinterest, tap the video pin to open it on a new webpage. Then, copy its URL and paste it into Pokopin’s URL field. Click the red Download button. Pokopin will generate a link to download the Pinterest video in MP4 format.

7. Freemake Video Downloader

Freemake Video Downloader is a desktop app that lets you download videos from over 10,000 sites. The list includes YouTube, Facebook, Vimeo, Dailymotion, and more. The app is available for both Windows and Mac.

You can use Freemake to save videos, playlists, and channels in formats such as MP4, MP3, AVI, WMV, MPEG, 3GP, and FLV. All you need to do is launch Freemake, copy the video URL from your web browser, paste it into the app, and pick your preferred format.

Overall, Freemake is a top all-in-one app. However, note that it does not support downloading videos from YouTube Music or any other copyright-protected video.

8. ClipConverter

If you don’t want to go out of your way to install a video downloader app on your computer, you can head to your web browser and try out ClipConverter.

With ClipConverter, you can easily download any video from popular sites like YouTube and Vimeo. Other supported platforms include (but are not limited to) Reddit, Tumblr, MySpace, and Twitch.

You can opt to download your video in MP4, 3GP, AVI, MOV, and MKV formats. If you just want the audio, you can download that in MP3, M4A, or AAC format. The developers also offer a browser add-on for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari.

9. Online Video Converter

OnlineVideoConverter is an alternative video downloader you can check out too. Besides common platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, and Instagram, OnlineVideoConverter also lets you download videos from sites like TED, 9GAG, and Veojam.

After pasting the video URL, change the format dropdown to MP4 and select your preferred video quality. Click Start for OnlineVideoConverter to generate your video download link.

10. VLC Media Player

VLC Media Player is one of the best free media players. The beauty of using VLC is that it’s a program many users already have installed on their machines and negates the need for third-party apps.

If you already have this desktop app, you can download online videos for free right away. The first step is to copy the web URL of your video. Next, in VLC, go to Media > Open Network Stream. Paste the URL in the empty field under Please enter a network URL and click Play.

Your video should start playing in VLC. Then, go to Tools > Media Information. Copy everything in the Location field, paste that into a new web page, and you’ll see the video in your browser. Click the ellipsis icon and select Download to get the video in MP4.

Unfortunately, VLC can’t download YouTube videos. However, you can still use it for other sites, such as Vimeo and Dailymotion.

11. OBS Studio

We’re closing out our list with one final tip and software recommendation. When you have exhausted all other download possibilities, you can instead play the video, set it to full screen, then screen record your device. Make sure you also enable system sound recording to record the video’s audio.

OBS Studio is one of the best free screen recorder apps on the web. It’s available on Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it also includes a powerful editing tool. There are other similar free screen recorders for Windows and Mac, but you should start with OBS Studio as it’s one of the better options.

Alternatively, simply check if your device has a built-in screen recorder, so you don’t need to install third-party ones. You can screen record on your Windows PC using the default Xbox Game Bar. There are also a couple of methods to record your screen on a Mac.

Downloading Videos From the Internet? A Word of Warning…

Please remember that all the tools listed in this article are for creating recordings of free online videos for personal use. They should not be used to save and distribute copyrighted material. Doing so could get you in serious trouble with the law.

Downloading videos is also against some sites’ terms of service. Your account could be suspended or permanently banned. Keep this in mind when you’re thinking of downloading any video from the internet.

What Do the Check Marks in Telegram Mean? https://lifeyet.com/what-do-the-check-marks-in-telegram-mean/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=what-do-the-check-marks-in-telegram-mean https://lifeyet.com/what-do-the-check-marks-in-telegram-mean/#respond Tue, 28 Mar 2023 16:08:48 +0000 https://www.lifeyet.com/?p=29177 Telegram offers free unlimited messaging, handy features for chatting via text, voice, and video, and apps for every device.

Telegram offers free unlimited messaging, handy features for chatting via text, voice, and video, and apps for every device. There’s definitely a lot to love about the service, but not everyone has mastered using it. In fact, one common confusing aspect of Telegram is what its check marks mean.

When you send a message on Telegram, one or two check marks will appear below it depending on its status. These check marks communicate useful information, so if you’re not sure what these symbols mean in Telegram, read on to find out.

What Do the Check Marks Mean in Telegram?

Telegram’s ticks let you know if a message has been successfully sent or read by the other party. In Telegram, you’ll see a clock icon underneath a message while the app is sending it. If that process is successful, this icon turns into a single check mark to signify that your message was successfully sent to the server.

Finally, two check marks on Telegram mean that the other person opened your conversation and saw the new message.

Unlike WhatsApp, Telegram doesn’t have a delivered status. This is due to the ability to use your Telegram account on multiple devices at once, compared to WhatsApp only allowing you to connect a single primary phone to your account.

Because of this, there’s no way for the Telegram service to know if your message made it to a particular device. A delivered status wouldn’t make any sense, since the recipient can read the message on any device they use to sign into Telegram.

For more important info on how these services protect your messages, see our explanation of end-to-end encryption in major messaging services.

In Telegram group chats, a single tick still means that your message was sent to the server. A double-check in a group chat means that at least one person read your message; to see who’s read it so far, long-press or right-click the message.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to disable read receipts in Telegram. This means that everyone will always know if their Telegram message was read. It’s a small downside that might lead you to stop using Telegram.

Why Didn’t They Read My Telegram Message Yet?

Wondering why the other person hasn’t seen your Telegram message yet? When you don’t see the double ticks, there are a variety of possible explanations:

  • If the other person blocked you, you won’t see whether they read your message. In case you suspect this, check if you can see the other person’s profile picture and “last online” status. If you see their initials for the profile picture and last seen a long time ago for their online status, you’re likely blocked.
  • The other person’s phone may be shut off, in airplane mode, or suffering from a poor network connection.
  • Of course, they may also simply have not opened the message yet because they’re busy.

There’s also a chance that the other person has used a trick to read your message in secret without sending a read receipt. For example, they might have gone into airplane mode to read the message without triggering the “read” status. Most phones also let you preview a message from the notification bubble, which doesn’t trigger the receipt either.

If they have done something like this, there’s little you can do about it aside from plainly asking them if they saw your message.

Telegram Check Marks Explained

Now you know how to find out if the other person read your message on Telegram. Most of the time, this feature is handy and lets you confirm that the other person saw what you sent without asking for confirmation in a follow-up message.

If you enjoyed learning about this Telegram function, there’s a lot more to dive into to become a Telegram power user.

You can make marketing films that astonish your viewers with a little forethought and a dash of ingenuity. Consider the following data if you’re still not convinced about the relevance of video for your business.


Video marketing can be more expressive than any other form of marketing. Multiply that by a thousand for a video. That is the core of video marketing, a powerful type of marketing that successfully engages your audience in the overall marketing strategy.
The use of videos to advertise and enlighten people about a product or service is known as video marketing. It boosts interaction on your digital and social media platforms, educates your audience, and gives you a new way to reach out to them.


If you work in marketing for a small firm, you probably wear a lot of different hats. Some of them are most likely not even selling hats. It’s all on you, from product marketing to content development, social media postings to event presence, and even sales. So why would you want to go ahead and add video marketing to the mix? The reality is that video marketing has several advantages for small organizations.

Know Your Audience

If you try to reach everyone through marketing, it may not yield the best result. This is particularly true in the case of video marketing. While a viral video that everyone likes is wonderful social proof, your video marketing approach and the films you make should assist you in reaching one or more of your business or marketing objectives. You may make your videos more effective if you start with your target client/s in mind. You must do research and have a good grasp of the requirements and preferences of your target audience. Similarly, you can use an online video editor application for online video editing your videos.
For this, you have to determine:


What video platforms do they employ?

What language do they use, and how does it express your message?

What problems do they have for which you can offer a solution
Engage with them aptly if you know their language and their reasons. By making a video to meet your audience’s needs, your company can benefit, and also the audience can find it valuable.

Rank Higher in Search

Google is the most renowned search engine, while YouTube is the second most popular. Adding video to your website may greatly improve your Google search rankings.
The reality is that including a video on your website improves your chances of getting discovered on the first page of Google search results. It’s certainly worth the effort, especially considering that 75% of visitors never get past the first page!

Increase the Understanding of Your Product

Products may be complicated, and your target market must comprehend yours before making a purchase. Visitors to your website are 64 to 85 percent more likely to purchase after seeing a product video, which is fortunate for you.
An explainer video allows you to demonstrate to potential consumers what you’re giving and how it solves an issue, rather than just telling them. It’s at the top of our list of videos to produce initially for small company video marketing.

Optimize Your Video Thumbnail with a Smile

The video thumbnail is the most critical factor in determining whether or not a visitor will watch your video. Since people judge books by their covers, you should dress up your movie for the occasion by creating a fascinating, play-worthy thumbnail picture.
Using a picture of a happy individual establishing direct eye contact is the most effective approach to ensure that people watch your video. Why? People form connections with one another. Reading a book with a front cover full of boring contents or one with an image of Prince William smiling – which is preferable? Of course, The latter is more appealing, and video thumbnails follow the same logic.

Run a Video Campaign on Facebook or Twitter

Giving your film up for free is a great approach to attract others to see it. The best place to do this is on social media, where people will gladly share and spread the word about your offer, resulting in more people visiting your landing page and viewing your video.

Link to the Video Landing Pages in the Email Signatures

It feels funny to write this suggestion since it’s so basic and apparent, yet it’s one that many marketers neglect. It won’t cost you a dollar to include a clear link to a website in your email signature, and the impact on increasing views might be considerable, depending on how many people are dealing with leads and customers. Every day, most sales, marketing, and support teams have a lot of discussions, and you should use these opportunities to promote your video content.

Have a Simple Video SEO Strategy

SEO is important for more than just your blog entries and website. YouTube has surpassed Google as the second most used search engine on the internet. People utilize this network to discover individual movies and search for general information, much like they would on Google.com. You can also take steps to make it easier for people to find your videos on YouTube. Here are a few crucial points to remember when it comes to video SEO.
The greatest approach to getting people’s attention is to use titles. Keep it brief and informative. On YouTube videos, the first 60 characters or less will appear. Also, as with any blog post, make sure you plan your keywords. To locate appropriate keywords, utilize the SEO Ranking keyword recommendation tool or the YouTube keyword tool. In your video description, provide keywords and a link to your website. On YouTube, keep it to 70 characters or less to assist viewers in comprehending what your video is about.

The Bottom Line

Creating high-performing videos requires time and effort. However, with the correct video content strategy and a little imagination, you can use it to convey inspirational stories and urge people to watch and act.

How to quit cable for online streaming video

Most people in America are streaming whether through on-demand streaming services such as Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu, etc., or live TV streaming services such as ESPN+, Sling TV, and YouTube TV, etc. It must be hard for the users of cable TV to accept the fact that the era of cable TV services is almost dead and with the amazing streaming platforms, you can save some bucks and can have a better entertainment experience. We don’t ask you to rush into it without doing your research at your end but once you will do it, you will surely find out that the streaming services are better and you should’ve one already.

Many households in the US have already switched to streaming services, however, it’s true that there are still many people who are not ready to switch to streaming services and it’s okay if you are one of them. It’s not easy to switch to something you have never had experience with. But how will you find out if streaming is better or not till you give it a shot? You will only find the pros and cons of streaming services when you’ll use the services. If we do a comparison between streaming services and cable TV services, streaming services would be the inevitable winner.

Everything has changed and things are not like the way they used to be and we should adapt to the changes to make the best out of them. It’s not just the entertainment industry that has changed.

Before you cancel your cable services, there are a few things that you need to take care of. Follow the below steps and then cancel the cable TV services.

Get a reliable internet connection

The internet has played a great role in our lives till this day and we should take benefit of it for sure. Isn’t the whole purpose of new technology to give you comfort and ease? When people are taking advantage of the internet in different ways, why shouldn’t you save some bucks and get better services? To have live streaming services, you need to make sure that you get an internet connection that offers you amazing download and upload speeds. You can only stream videos if your internet works fine. Make sure you get a high-speed internet connection. Companies like Spectrum offer multiple plans. You can check out Spectrum deals and see if there is any plan that suits your budget and needs.

If you are planning to stream on multiple devices simultaneously then a basic internet plan won’t work for you but if there are only 1-2 users who are going to stream then even a basic internet plan will be okay.

Get an HD antenna

The next step is to get an HD antenna before you cancel your cable subscription. Find out what’s available to you after installing the HD antenna. People who live in cities and urban areas will probably get access to all four major networks (CBS, NBC, FOX, and ABC) and there will be some other networks as well like CW, PBS, etc. and you can stream all channels in HD without any charges. You can buy an HD antenna from Amazon or any online store.

Get a smart device

You should have a smart device to do online streaming. A smart device can be a smart TV, smartphone, tablet, or even a laptop that will work. If you are planning to do proper streaming then you should get a smart TV. However, if you want to have the best streaming experience then you should get a smart streaming device like Amazon Fire TV Cube or Roku Streaming Stick+, etc.

Round up your video streaming services

Once you have everything, the next step is to get your video streaming services. There are many streaming platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu, etc. through which you can stream amazing content. You can get services through as many streaming platforms as you want. You just need to install the app on your smart device and after signing in, you will get access to excellent video content.

Benefits of streaming service:

There are many benefits of streaming services. We are going to discuss a few benefits here:

Cost-effective

While getting any service or product, one of the most important things you have in your mind and that should be on your mind is your budget. While we get hundreds of channels with the cable TV service, there are many channels that we do not even want or watch but we pay for them and that’s nothing but stupidity. Why should we pay for something, which we do not even want? That does not make any sense.

Apart from the channels, there are many extra charges that we pay to the cable companies every month. You also pay extra for the cable box to get the services every month on top of the services charges. Then, there are charges like broadcast fees and other taxes.

When we talk about streaming services, there are no such charges. There will be just a streaming service charge and you can watch your favorite show, anywhere, anytime. You don’t need a cable box to get the streaming service. You just need to download the app and login into your account and you will get access to all the TV shows and movies.

Convenience

When it comes to convenience and flexibility, streaming service offers you more convenience and more flexibility than the cable TV service. If you have a streaming service, you do not need to sit in front of your TV to watch your favorite movie or show, you can watch your favorite show and movies anywhere, anytime. If you are at your friend’s place or even if you are in a different city for some work, you can still watch your favorite TV show anytime. There will be no restriction.

If you are going to a different city or at a place where you know that you will be facing an internet connectivity issue but you want to watch a movie at night after work, you can just download the movie and can watch the movie later offline.

Don’t act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you. In my experience, there is no such thing as luck. Partially, but it also obeys your commands. I want to come with you to Alderaan. There’s nothing for me here now. I want to learn the ways of the Force and be a Jedi, like my father before me. The more you tighten your grip, Tarkin, the more star systems will slip through your fingers.

Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? What!? I don’t know what you’re talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan– What good is a reward if you ain’t around to use it? Besides, attacking that battle station ain’t my idea of courage. It’s more like…suicide.

You don’t believe in the Force, do you? Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. I call it luck. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going. What?! The Force is strong with this one. I have you now.

We hire people who want to make the best things in the world. -Steve Jobs

She must have hidden the plans in the escape pod. Send a detachment down to retrieve them, and see to it personally, Commander. [highlight color=”yellow”]There’ll be no one to stop us this time![/highlight] You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! Partially, but it also obeys your commands.

  • Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.
  • He is here.
  • Don’t underestimate the Force.

I care. So, what do you think of her, Han? A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master. [highlight color=”blue”]But with the blast shield down,[/highlight] I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? Obi-Wan is here. The Force is with him. But with the blast shield down, I can’t even see! How am I supposed to fight? You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away!

  1. I care. So, what do you think of her, Han?
  2. You mean it controls your actions?

  4. I’m trying not to, kid.

Revenge of the Sith

post-imageI can’t get involved! I’ve got work to do! It’s not that I like the Empire, I hate it, but there’s nothing I can do about it right now. It’s such a long way from here. Leave that to me. Send a distress signal, and inform the Senate that all on board were killed. I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly…

Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them. He is here. What?! Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid. I’m trying not to, kid.

I’m trying not to, kid. I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base. He is here. You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! Take her away! Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine.

Still, she’s got a lot of spirit. I don’t know, what do you think? What!? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. Kid, I’ve flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I’ve seen a lot of strange stuff, but I’ve never seen anything to make me believe there’s one all-powerful Force controlling everything. There’s no mystical energy field that controls my destiny. It’s all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense. Remember, a Jedi can feel the Force flowing through him. He is here. Ye-ha! I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.

Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? Look, I ain’t in this for your revolution, and I’m not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I’m in it for the money. A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master.

All right. Well, take care of yourself, Han. [highlight color=”orange”]I guess that’s what you’re best at,[/highlight] ain’t it? Alderaan? I’m not going to Alderaan. I’ve got to go home. It’s late, I’m in for it as it is. The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.

WOW, Nice photo !
WOW, Nice photo !

I need your help, Luke. She needs your help. I’m getting too old for this sort of thing. Oh God, my uncle. How am I ever gonna explain this? Hey, Luke! May the Force be with you. No! Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons. You can’t possibly… As you wish. Look, I can take you as far as Anchorhead. You can get a transport there to Mos Eisley or wherever you’re going.

I suggest you try it again, Luke. This time, let go your conscious self and act on instinct. Dantooine. They’re on Dantooine. You’re all clear, kid. Let’s blow this thing and go home! I’m surprised you had the courage to take the responsibility yourself. I’m trying not to, kid.
