*waves from Hoth* Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: angry.bob on December 27, 2009, 03:52:24 PM Anything that says Phoenix is like Endor and Las Vegas is like Naboo fails on the most basic of levels.
Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Sheepherder on December 28, 2009, 02:47:38 AM Quote Oh my. -12°C, Mostly Cloudy? <Hoth> It doesn't appear to care about wind chill.

Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Sheepherder on December 28, 2009, 10:35:01 PM And it claims that London is Hoth.

Put in Tataouine, Tunisia, however and you get... Alderaan. Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather?

And yet it also identifies that distant land across the Bay, Berkeley, as Hoth. :awesome_for_real:Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather?

Post by: Teleku on December 29, 2009, 01:38:53 PM Actually, that was my bad. When I typed in Berkeley, I didn't notice that defaulted to Berkeley, UK. Berkeley, CA remains the land hairy tree huggers after all.
Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Xuri on December 29, 2009, 05:52:46 PM It claims Oslo is Hoth too, with it's -16 degrees Celsius. <Random Trivia>Incidentally, the real life location for Hoth is also in Norway - more specifically near a place called Finse. :P</Random Trivia>
Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Sheepherder on December 29, 2009, 11:40:50 PM Anything above -25* being called "Hoth" is utter bullshit. It only starts hurting to breathe around -35* or so.

Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Sheepherder on December 31, 2009, 04:25:55 AM Around that range they start to converge. -40* is almost exactly where it occurs. With that kind of temperature you immediately start to get stabbing pains in your lungs when you inhale.
Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: CmdrSlack on December 31, 2009, 02:37:26 PM All I know is that anything under about 10* F is "balls cold" as far as I'm concerned. I did a winter in the hinterlands of Minneapolis. When it's so cold that frost comes out of your heat vents when you first start your car and the radio takes approx. 30 seconds to change stations because the electronics are cold, that is clearly Hoth.
Perhaps from a nerdrage/SW lore standpoint I am wrong, but I know what feels cold as fuck. Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Margalis on December 31, 2009, 10:36:06 PM Bullshit with a chance of stupid.
Title: Re: Whats YOUR star wars weather? Post by: Sheepherder on January 01, 2010, 04:01:24 AM All I know is that anything under about 10* F is "balls cold" as far as I'm concerned. -12* C? You're not really cut out for this cold thing, are you? |
