At first I thought the force choke was weird. Thinking about it though, prior to that 100% of the Mando's passengers have been in need of a force choke, so baby Yoda is probably all confused why Mando is yelling at him :emoji_smiling_imp: This kind of childhood is how you get feral yodalings ;p

If it sucks as much as Watchmen did, then I'll be very happy.

The x-wings did mention they thought the station was launching fighters at them, and that's why they attacked. Presumably they'd normally start with 'Hey guy, what's up ?' rather than shooting. A prison transport seems like the kind of thing that might have air support nearby, and the type of...

Bah, how can you not like Avasarala ? "Don't stick your dick in Holden, it's fucked enough already."

I'm pretty sure what they were going for is that him experiencing every moment at the same time means he can't actually change anything. It's sort of a given for being able to predict the future flawlessly - if you can do that, free will is impossible. Kind of a shitty life for him ;p

Well, if nothing else, 'Power of Twelve Feet' was pretty funny. This clearly needs to be in the D&D rulebook.

I assumed Monica stole it, which is why she's working for 'definitely not the NSA'.

It's annoyingly lazy. If you go by tv/movies, child abuse is the sole reason for like 99% of all mental conditions.

Call it my inner troll, but I would love to have seen the online reactions if that bounty hunter headshotted baby yoda ;p While I don't disagree with the assessment, it's a little funny that a murderous blood-soaked rampage that's killed 50+ people so far still counts as a PG rated kid's show...

Mando's attempts at being a dad are hilarious. 'Stay here ! Don't touch anything !'

Overall an excellent book, however I offer two middle fingers and a chorus of 'booo's to Sanderson for the ending. Shows it's YA'ness a lot more than Skyward did, with a plan so ludicrous that even a team made up of Leeroy Jenkins and Wile E Coyote would raise some concerns about lack of planning.

I'm pretty sure it hasn't been collected into an ebook, the author would have put a notice on the site somewhere so that people knew they could buy it.

I was pleasantly surprised at Elon Musk's ability to make fun of himself. Also, poor Netflix ;p

Oh, i didn't realise this was a serial too - looks like the amazon books are only half the series. That's convenient.

Everything in WoW is a meaningless treadmill that goes nowhere, any progress or achievement is a hollow illusion - this is an objective fact. Despite this, if you buy into the illusion you can be entertained - it's a like a magic trick - you know it's not real, but it can be entertaining. The...

SR3 is right up there with the most fun I've had playing a game. The ludicrous sense of humor was my kind of humor right from the intro - 'You're robbing a bank, disguised as... yourself ?' Heh. SR4 overall was a bit of a letdown, the whacky superpowers from SR3 were great fun, but they...

Book 4 almost made me quit reading the series, so I'd watch the show first and then skip book 4 ;p

Hey, I have no star wars nerd cred, but if there tens of thousands of them, where were they in the movies ? Tens of thousands would also have meant thousands of kids in training surely ?

As a counterpoint, very few people would disagree that shaolin monks exist in our world. There are plenty of stories about them having nonsensical abilities like being able to levitate. This doesn't mean most people believe those stories, or would not be surprised if they found a floating...

My vote is they have a full-on sex scene with him completely naked, except for his helmet. ;p

Ninth House - Leigh Bardugo Junkie high-school dropout gets made an offer she can't refuse - a clean slate as a student at Yale, cover for her actual duties of monitoring the occult activity of the nine secret societies that are based there. This was basically a nicely twisty murder mystery...

First episode was really good, second episode is better. A great start overall. The 'showdown' on top of the crawler was lol'worthy. Baby Yoda is pretty much weaponised cuteness ( 'Spit that out !' ) An invincible machine of ass-kicking, the Mandalorian is not. Heh.

He was standing next to Elliot when the van was burning.

True, having everyone who watched episode 1 arrested for child porn probably would have made the show play out quite differently. :emoji_smiling_imp:

It's pretty funny - I reckon the townspeople would prefer getting overrun by monsters to being 'rescued' by him.

The 'industrial warehouse or whatever' in T1 was the Cyberdyne systems robotics factory, and the movie ended with Sarah pregnant with John Connor, heading to Mexico. T1 was all a closed time loop where the terminator trying to kill Sarah made John exist, and Reese trying to kill the terminator...

Still the craziest bitch in anime, and it's not like anime lacks contenders for that title ;p

While I can sympathize with that perception, I did say it was the opening text - that's literally the first second of the first episode.

I liked it. That opening text though - whoever thought this was a good idea for font, color and background needs a good smack upside the head.

That argument, if accepted, has no end point - why have multiple talents when one is the best ? why have specs when one of them is the best ? Why have different classes if one of them is the best ? Why have things that are only fun or flavor ? Slippery slope sure, but Blizzard have been...

You know the 'more likely than not' threshold for at least one occurrence of a 2% chance is 35 cases right ? That takes an awful lot of handwaving about uneven distribution.

Assuming 2% is correct, I think there' something wrong with your math there, because that conclusion is batshit crazy unless you live in a cabin in the woods and have never been to school.

I don't think I can get over the level squish to be honest. Intellectually I realise that it doesn't make any practical difference, but the thing with rpgs, even MMORPGs is that the illusions matter - heroic strike can be literally exactly the same thing as 'sword attack one', but it's just...

Yeah, apple might have more money as a whole, but they weak-ass launch lineup suggests pretty strongly how seriously they are taking it. I don't think they'll be prepared to lose shitloads of money even if they can afford it.

This corrupted gear stuff is stupid bullshit.

I've liked this one so far. I wasn't expecting the speed of plot development though, was expecting 'woo-woo mystery wooo' to be strung out endlessly, was pleasantly surprised. Still, I feel bad for social services though - it's not like they get portrayed in a positive light very often in TV...

This seemed decent, although the overview listed above seems to be entirely unrelated to the first episode ?

I think it's one of the benefits of the rise in self-publishing - traditional publishing pretty much required thousands of books to be sold to be even worth bothering, meaning there was a big focus on broader appeal - kind of like movies are now. If you had a book that really appealed to a group...

It was about what I'd expected. CW style action and CW style pointless drama. Her behavior would make a lot more sense if she was 15, having a grown woman act like a pouty teenager ( I hate you dad ! ) looks kind of silly, especially given she is being unreasonable. Dad does not give you a...

This was slow, boring, cliched and patronizing. Apparently the Joker is just a sad puppy who wants to be loved, but can't trust anyone anymore. I regret watching it instead of, say, doing washing.
