I'll disagree with you on the part about the characters in SG-1 being perfect.
Granted, more often then not they take Jack's imperfection out to the extreme, but not everyone talks like they have PhD's.:)

Yeah, there's a crapload of sports games coming out on the XBox, but look at who they push it on
The mainstream
...ie, the same people that watch overpaid weightlifters play toss with a pigskin, while groping each other, or the ones that watch cars driving in circles for a few hours, etc etc.
There's about a half dozen games out _right now_, most of them in the bargain bin, where you can be a Jedi, all sticking (for the most part) to canon as approved by Lucasarts.
Note there that I said Lucasarts, and not Lucas himself, since he would known canon if it shot him in the face. Ba dum bum.
But anyway, there's a shitload of Jedi games out there. On EB Games I found three:
Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi OutcastStar Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi AcademyStar Wars: Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
And that's just searching for 'Jedi' on ebgames.com.
Yes, I'm one of those 'fanboys' that thinks Jedi have no place in SWG as it stands now, considering the timeframe. I'm sure they could rake money in hand over fist if they just took all the resources from SWG, hired a few dozen codemonkeies to redo some of the graphics, and released SWG:The Clone Wars, for those that must have Jedis.
Well, from what I remember with the X-Men cartoon (didn't see alot of it cause I didn't get Fox where I lived at the time), they didn't quite shoot themselves in the foot. I liked how they killed off Morph in the first episode, then brought him back under the thumb of Mister Sinister.
Of course, the introduction of the Technocracy & Warlock, along with the Phalanx, sucked balls. The Phalanx Covenant was probably my favorite crossover, cause it introduced Gen-X, my favorite team (if you can't tell from my nickname).
Ever see those PSA-like things Cartoon Network ran for awhile like a year or two ago?
They'd just have various old school characters kvetching about something...
Fred was whining about how Daphne never returned his phonecalls and stuff, basically stalking her, which was funny, and the guy from the Wonder Twins (Jace, I think) was bitching about his craptastic ability to turn into water.
C'mon, it'd be the ultimate way to get away with sex in public! Throw up an invisible wall, bow chicka chicka bow bow, and then hope no one slips in it.
Of course, that reminds me of that Superman/Wonderwoman joke, too.
What If? wasn't so much crossover, but taking existing storylines in a different direction...
A couple of issues that come to mind are 'What If..... Gwen Stacy didn't die?' and 'What If.... Rogue got the Mjolnir?'
There were a bunch of interesting ones, and if my old collection of comic books hasn't been tossed already, I still have some.
Of course, if Marvel hadn't killed decent comics with shitty writers, then took those same ideas and just redid existing characters to be 'hip', 'with it' and 'teen angsty', I'd prolly still be buying Marvel comics.
Of course, once they started doing one huge crossover a summer, where you had to buy every issue of their lineup (like 16 different books) for several months on end, that might have helped too.
I'm far too lazy to search imdb, but I know that there was another animated series in the mid- to late-90s, that I enjoyed. Ran like three seasons, I think, and if I remember correctly, ran back to back with a sorta-okay Iron Man animated show.
The decision "stands in marked contrast to existing law and prior decisions that have determined that Congress was well within its constitutional authority to adopt legislation that prevented trafficking in copies of unauthorized recordings of live performances," said Jonathan Lamy, a spokesman for the RIAA.
Moments after giving that quote, one of Mister Lamy's aids rushed up to him, reminding him to put the Senator puppet back on his hand before he starts speaking for Congress.
"Mister Gates, when did you realize that you were creating a monopoly?"
"Monopoly is a fucking game, Senator, I'm trying to take over the world. First we had Information Technology, 'IT'. Next is Total Information Technology. 'TIT'. Cause when you are sucking on my TIT, I've got you by the motherboard."
I think it was in an EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) a few months back that they had an article about it. Supposedly the game goes into more of what happens before the movie (before Mr Incredible turned into a fatass), than the movie itself.
It's my understanding that if an artist (artist in the sense of one who uses paint and a canvas to create) goes back to seriously alters his work, skewing it into something it completely wasn't, the community of art-loving people would consider said artist FUCKING CRAZY and the rest of the world would agree.
Aside from the fscking boatload of money Lucas has raked in, what makes him any different?
You sound like never having the Star Wars Holiday Special released on DVD would be a bad thing.
That thing is used for torture in some countries. The ones that ignore the Geneva Conventions for the fair treatment of POWs.
I get a 'Game Not Found' thing from VU. What game are you talking about? Leisure Suit Larry? Starcraft Ghost? Umm... *tries to think what else VU had a E3 this year*

Frighteningly enough, you just described the watching habits of every idiot with a Neilson box. :)

Hey, I didn't put that stuff in on my original submission, don't blame me. :P

Oh god, it hurts from trying not to laugh my head off while still at work. :)

Darkwatch, too, which is another game I need to get.

And I for one welcome our new Transhuman Overlords!!!
..wait for it, here's the funny part...
...Microsoft then cancelled it.
I think it was a MMORPG, even. True Fantasy, I think it was called. Research time!

Robin Williams rocks.

That's all I can remember, though.
Why not "Lucas raped the hack movies!" or "Childhood raped my Lucas!"
I think "Lucas owns the hack movies!" fits nicely here.
Aside from the fscking boatload of money Lucas has raked in, what makes him any different?
I'd even be willing to pay for the shipping and handling to get them there!
You'd be hard pressed to find a Star Wars fanboy crazy enough to come up with that midichlorian tripe.
You sound like never having the Star Wars Holiday Special released on DVD would be a bad thing. That thing is used for torture in some countries. The ones that ignore the Geneva Conventions for the fair treatment of POWs.
That, and if I remember correctly, I read somewhere that Lucas was disowning the Holiday special.
I mean, not that I do anything wierd like that... really.. umm.. I'll just be over THERE! *runs*
