Yes, if The Card Game goes pvp, I'm done with it. Now would be a great time to hear more about X-wing!

LEGO is not pluralised. It is Lord of the RIngs Lego and Star Wars Lego. Lego bricks, lego men, lego kits, but not Legos. Lego is 1) a brand name and 2) a collective term. A pile of lego bricks is a "pile of lego", not a "pile of legos".

Sorry, completely random aside, and incredibly pedantic, but it is one of my pet peeves (every time I hear it it grates in my ears slightly). That and people trying to claim Hitler was elected to power.

Anyway, it's FFG. They make random announcements that something is coming, and then you hear nothing for two years, presume it has been dropped and suddenly a new expansion is released. No news is normal news.

I also find it amusing that people here are going "If the LCG is going PvP I will play this more", even though this is a PvP game. Not that I am criticising, as I am in a similar mold, it just might seem like a contradictory attitude to others. I would rather the card game was cooperative, but I still like the idea of a competative miniatures game.

Well if we're going to get nit-picky, then LEGO is always, always CAPITALIZED. Show me one official instance where LEGO is not capitalized. You can't! And if LEGO can't be plural, then you can't put it at the end of something. You can't have Star Wars LEGO, it's LEGO Star Wars. Check the site out for yourself at www.lego.com. Now that you've pointed it out, though, I see that there are no places where LEGO is pluralized on the website. By that I mean it is never used plural. It's not like Pokémon where pokémon is both plural and single. LEGO just can't be plural. You want plural LEGO Lord of the Rings? It has to be LEGO Lord of the Rings sets, or bricks or some other appended plural noun modified by the LEGO product title. Am I being hostile? Maybe. But that's what you get when you attack my twin brother!

 I owe you an apology, borithan. I read your reply and let my emotions cloud the way I read it. I can see now that you were trying to be diplomatic in the way you were stating your opinions.

How can you be 'amused' by peoples' opinions and then say that you feel the same way?

Anyway, I feel that X-wing should be PvP. It only makes sense. But I was excited about a co-op Star Wars card game (after all, a co-op miniatures game would be lousy).

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go eat my spaghettis! 

LEGOs. LEGOs LEGOs LEGOs. I love LEGOs. I love me some LEGOs.

Okay, laying down my pride, I admit that you are absolutely 100% correct. In fact, I have read it before in several places that LEGO is a brand name and cannot be pluralized. The plural of LEGO is "LEGO bricks" or what have you. However, I have read in those same locations that, "Nobody really cares, so we all say LEGOs anyway."

I'm truly sorry it bothers you. I didn't mean to offend, but I'm just gonna keep saying it my way, and you can say it your way.

What's important is that we both love X-wing...er...at least we both want to love X-wing. It's hard to like it if we don't know much about it.

 Card game pushed out to 3rd quarter 2012, I'm thinking I won't have X-wing in my hands until 2013...

Where does it say that? I just checked the "Upcoming" page and it still says 2nd quarter 2012.

 Oh. You said card game. I totally missed that and assumed you were talking about x-wing. My mistake.

I can be amused by something I think as well... I often find my little foibles amuse me when I think about them more rationally.

Oh, not going to be offended by people using legos. If someone knows it to be technically incorrect and continues to use it that's fine, just I have seen/heard it so many times I think people may think it is correct. Now, it personally grates (I don't actually like the sound of it), but if it is just the way you choose to refer to it thats your business, as long as you know it's incorrect ;) It seems to be an American thing, as everyone I know (in the UK) refers to it as lego (and this is without the Lego legal department telling us to). It never even occurred to me to refer to it as "legos" until I saw it online, and have since heard it on various tv shows, and (again even without being told it was wrong) it just grated from the first time I saw it.

I don't think the announcement about the card game will have any impact directly on X-Wing. They said they didn't feel that the card game was up to scratch, so they rebooted it. There is no reason to expect that, as long as they don't come to the same decision for X-wing, that will lead to a completely unrelated (aside from subject matter) game being delayed. It will just mean that rather than them both being released at about the same time there will instead be a big gap between them.

Of couse this FFG, and who knows what will happen.

 I had not read a single review of anyone who played the demo at Gencon that thought it was up to scratch so possibly they decided to retool it as well (let's hope anyway.)

Are you referring to the card game or X-Wing?

I was referring to X-Wing.

 BLAST! I was sure today we'd see an update. Maybe tomorrow . . .
