    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    Well I for one definitely felt like 6 year old me watching RotJ in the theater again. That alone made this worth it for me.

    That was a definite JJ wink at the audience moment there. I chuckled.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I thought the film pretty clearly showed that Kylo Ren thought alot more of himself than anyone else did and he was not at all the badass he tried to be. It was kind of one of the main points/twists of his character; that he WANTED to be like Vader (and the viewer expects him to be that way)...

    I felt that he let himself get wrecked to force Anakin into some sketchy decisions. Though Mace Windu was also a certified badass and a master on a level with the best of them, and had a unique fighting style that utilized the dark side? Something something something dark side.

    I felt she was kind of using it like she would use her staff, jabbing and such. She certainly didn't have a polished look about her, kind of wild swings and thrusts. And when I saw it, it was 1045 AM on Friday, and there only about a dozen people there, neckbeards who obviously skipped out...

    The thing Malkav posted on the last page lays out the relationship between Resistance, New Republic, Empire and First Order in a very nice summary. I guess that is fleshed out more in the cartoons/novels? I should have paid more attention to those.

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Ah shit. I am going to need to log back into this to fulfill my vow of taking my character who was made in the first few seconds of the game's existence all the way to Mordor. Still wondering what is going to happen after the War of the Ring - are they going to stop there, or try to take the...

    Are you talking about that play a few posts up? It looks like Norman dropped him after wrapping him up more than slamming him to the ground. Certainly a much different situation than running 5+ yards to slam your head into someone else's head.

    It's never okay to fucking run at a guy and spear him with your helmet, no matter what he has been doing. It's a rough game played by violent men who get gruesome injuries all the time, but shit like that can get someone unnecessarily paralyzed. Those refs need to get suspended right along...

    Biggest hack this year.

    You highlight why this is going to keep happening. They are looking for experts willing to take a massive pay cut for Uncle Sam, and they aren't getting any of those without seriously re-writing the books on how such experts get compensated. What they will end up with are unqualified fucktards...

    JJ told me, hehe. J.J. Abrams reveals Obi-Wan and Yoda are secretly in | EW.com "And you hear Obi-Wan at the end say, 'Rey . these are your first steps,'" Abrams says. "Here's the cool part. We asked Ewan McGregor to come in and do the line. "

    Very true, but I think Disney put a full on marketing blitz in China this time around that didn't happen with the prequels. We will see in a couple of weeks if it worked. And yep, not surprising this rewrote the most of the record books for openings. Disney on its way to making back most...

    Man, that is some sad shit. You would think that people playing SWTOR would have enough respect for the source that they wouldn't do shit like that. There are just some fucked up trolls out there.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    One thing I think that would have been a big boon to the story is some sort of Galactic Senate scene where Leia argues a bit about the First Order. Would have fleshed out the background of why there had to be a Resistance in the first place and its relationship to the Republic, and made the...

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I loved every goddamn second of it. My faith in JJ was rewarded; he delivered. It isn't going to win best picture or best actor, but as a re-start to the Star Wars franchise, I don't think you could reasonably ask for much more. This was Star Wars done right.

    Deadpool (2016)

    I think one of the best parts of all this is how much Ryan Reynolds obviously loves playing the character. He has very clearly gone all in on being Deadpool and to me, that just makes the whole thing more excellent.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    One could argue that happened in 1983 with Return of the Jedi and has plagued the franchise since, with only a handful of exceptions (Timothy Zahn's first 3 SW novels, a few other books). The hope, I think, is that this one changes the trend; I continue to have extreme confidence that this is...

    1st round of the playoffs - an RB and a flex spot for this mess: Demarco Murray, Theo Riddick, Bilal Powell, Dorial Green-Beckham, James Jones, Davante Adams, Legarette Blount, Gary Barnidge. I dominated until I lost Leveon Bell and had the rest of my team get cold a few weeks ago. Scoring...

    As an Eagles fan, I approve of their booing. We fucking booed Santa. I took part (I am ashamed to admit it, but I did) in booing kids participating in a PPK competition on the field at halftime of the last game I went to a few years back. Yep, we booed kids. Except for the one that was...

    I was in Rite Aid yesterday and saw a whole giant Star Wars make-up display. It was a very strong WTF moment, I couldn't believe it; a definite merchandising shark jump. I mean, I get it, extending the appeal to women/girls, etc, but at the end of the day the Star Wars fanbase has a bedrock of...

    I am sure there is going to be a very good explanation for the stormtrooper mace thing. I mean, this is a world where one guy with a lightsaber wrecked legions of stormtroopers and brought down an empire; I assume the remnants - including someone who has his own lightsaber - went about...

    I will be happy when they nerf the shit out of the tangled depths event chain / end boss. That zone is painful as hell, you got 15-20 minutes of doing the initial events for each lane, then an hour of sitting on your ass scrabbling to do shit events to keep your participation up, and then a...

    The strat we used with the pods was what folks are calling the circle strat: essentially, 5-8 people on each lane fight the boss, while the rest go in a giant zerg around the circle smashing the preservers and pods. It took awhile - we weren't doing a good job of keeping the spawning areas...

    Well, I got to do two great events in the last day - a guild hall claiming and a win on the event in the last zone of the expansion, Dragon's Stand. The guild hall claiming was pretty neat and a good challenge; a definite huge middle finger to small guilds, but very cool for medium large...
