Go back and re-watch A New Hope, the star destroyers in Episode IV are pretty freaking white. It's only in ESB and Jedi that the Star Destroyers have a grey cast to them.

Spoiler for the nerd-gasm aspects that played to the deep fans. Things that jumped out Items that cameo shots and nods for more normal fans blatant items There were a few occasions where I wish they had backed away from the tie-ins and just allowed the movie to stand on its own as it is...

The uncanny valley is something that, hopefully, they can revisit in a few years time and sharpen up. There are only a couple places where it was particularly noticeable and I feel some of that may be due to time restrictions in getting out a final edit. I've certainly seen some rendering that...

Just got back. Without any spoilers I will say I liked it, not as much as Force Awakens, but more so than the prequels. Elements of fan service given to the DEEP fans was pretty impressive, the gratuitous fan service that more normal people can recognize was a bit heavy handed at times.

I'm not at all surprised by the legendary item changes. They are a cool idea to inject some added "oompf" factor and obviously borrowed a lot from both Diablo and Destiny in their implementation. The failure was two-fold: 1) They were too rare and so it was less a matter of choosing which 1...

I find Mistweaver to be a very pleasant "casual" healer alt to play simply because a giant portion of the healing is in the form of channeled Soothing Mist. That steady stream of baseline healing is enough to keep most tanks healthy and is easily augmented with insta-cast HOTs. Then again I...

It was mentioned before that the writers of AoS were big Overwatch fans. I was reminded of this with Ada's light weave gauntlets which seemed very Symmetra in nature and function.

The sheer number of sidequests and such in Chapter 3 made the complete lack of such things in Altissa a complete letdown. It seems silly to have gone to the trouble to design this whole big city with the gondola paths and all that and have virtually no content in the damn thing. When the dude...

I accidentally finished the game last night... I then immediately went to the web to try and understand what the hell was going on since it was still pretty vague. I know that certain elements would be a Frankenstein mess given the 10 year development cycle for the thing, but good lord that...

Yay!

What... the.... fuck....

The narrative seems very uneven and more similar to an MMO than a single player RPG. You go from fetch quests to find cactuar action figures and taking pictures of bridges to using the powers of a god to obliterate huge tracts of countryside. I am still not entirely sure when I went from...

When I first got the game and was screwing around near Hammerhead I "camped" for the second night at the RV camper in Hammerhead and I swear that Ignis cooked dinner. I distinctly remember a shot of him just inside the camper window turning on the stove and setting about to cook... Am I...

I find myself listening more to the Final Fantasy XIII music than I do any other while tooling around in the car. Which is odd since, at the time, I didn't think of the music in XIII as being all that memorable. I also had to go get a new controller because my R2 button was no longer up to...

"I found the book right there.... or wait... was it in the cellar...." I nearly lost my shit at that.

Republic Clonetroopers = elite military force Imperial Stormtroopers = bumbling idiots FirstOrder Stormtroopers = reasonably competent

A good portion of the soundtrack was made by Lin-Manuel Miranda AKA nascent poet laureate of the USA. He has a way of crafting songs that just creep in and get stuck in your head. I saw this and thought the music was decent but not Frozen-worthy; then in the last few days I've found myself...

Annnnnd now I need a 4K TV and a PS Pro...

Hmmm I knew this was a multi-company partnership, but I did not realize that HBO in the U.S. was going to be the absolutely last place this show premiered.

I still remember this time last year seeing the advertisements for this and thinking "oh lawd that looks dumb". I have never been more happy to be completely wrong in recent memory.

Yes Netflix Original Content. I think it might be their first specifically for Brazil?

They added Doug Jones (Abe Sapien from Hellboy) to play a science officer of a new alien species. They also announced Anthony Rapp (Mark Cohen from RENT) will be another science officer (wait... more than one person can do science on a starship?!?!) who is an astromycologist aka...

Started watching this over the holiday this past weekend. Granted that it is another entry in the "Hunger Games"/dystopian-society genre, but this is far more psychological than action oriented. It seems to have been done on a very low budget, it is mostly filmed in one office building and a...

3% Genre: Drama, Sci-Fi & Fantasy First Aired: 2016-11-25 Overview: A thriller set in a world sharply divided between progress and devastation, where people are given the chance to make it to the "better side" but only 3% of the candidates succeed.

I am looking forward to the next iterative progression for MMORPGs that moves away from positioning-based content. Having a constant run-n-gun gameplay with a system that mandates being stationary to actually do anything makes my head hurt. Well that and "dont stand in fire / dragon breath"...

Not too surprising since people who enjoy PVP gaming have lots more / better options these days.

It would have been interesting to put Supergirl on Earth, but then they would have had to eliminate Superman or just macguffin him away for events like this. They could at least toss Mon El onto the Legends or something.

Not seen a hitch here either and similarly using a launch day PS4. Game certainly has an Entourage feel to it, but adapting the Warriors of Light motif to a world with CD players and smart phones I suppose that is natural. Not overly wild about the magic system as it feels weird making magic...

I sort of knew it would be lame like this since, as others pointed out, she's on a different Earth. It might have worked out better had the Dominators been a recurring issue in Supergirl so far this season, but that doesn't seem to be the case. In the spirit of things I watched the episode...

If I had to guess (based on the original Invasion! plotline) everything is centered on Flash/Central City since that is the epicenter of metahumans in the DCTV universe. The reason for the invasion in the first place seems to be consistent with the original plot: metahumans from Earth are a...

Managed to get a second legendary on my Monk, who doesn't have that unlocked so good timing of the 5k order resources weekly quest. I'm also amused that the "Lavish Suramar Feast" is a ham and some sausages sitting on a few rocks next to a dismembered foot.

It has been months and I still find myself hitting "blink" and then "blazing speed" on my Arcane Mage despite "blazing speed" no longer existing. I had to make sure that key was set to something innocuous to avoid getting into trouble while zipping around an area.

I swear if they are trying to pull a 'Judas Contract' I will smack a bitch. Then again they have used every other main plot line from Wolfman/Perez era Teen Titans so why not.

Was still very cool to canonize the ship type. They have always been pretty good about internally consistent continuity, so I keep expecting the first wave of their newly built B-Wings to show up. Would also be good to have an in-show reason why they have A and B-wings in Rebels but no sign of...

I can honestly say I have no interest whatsoever in the "sheep" hidden artifact for Arcane Mages. Hopefully if, down the road, they decide to make another round of hidden appearances they do one for Arcane that isn't just a joke.

Saw this and it was quite good, definitely did a lot of world-building of 1920s Wizarding in the USA. Worth noting that it did so in a way that was very clear to one of my moviegoing compatriots who had never before seen a Harry Potter movie nor read the books. In addition we will now be...

This is a game you have to be in the right mood for / prepared to read a ton because there is a LOT of story and world-building going on. Thankfully they give you highlighted key terms that you can mouse over to get enclopedia entries of to help keep track of who is who. I always seem to get...

He should be Turtle Boy for fucks sake!

I would have thought with the recent surge of Gilneas stuff since Legion launched that we might get a nice Mastiff with or without demonic green glow.

This is different from the Doctor Who stuff as those are Fathom Events / special individual screenings vs. putting something in cinemas for a solid 2-week run. The best analog I can think of is the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century pilot "movie" which was shown in cinemas in March of 1979 several...
