They did indeed use such language which was a bit of a shock, but then again it IS TV-MA so its not like people can get too bent out of shape about it.

Speaking of cosmetic rewards, I have been fairly underwhelmed by the outfit options for this expansion. Most of the time when I get the "you have unlocked a new appearance" blurb I go to check it out immediately and can't even tell that something changed. I'm rocking the cloth shoulders that...

To be fair Catherine Tate is no beauty, but she is pretty damn funny and made for a nice counterpoint to the previous two companions. The pinnacle of New Who, however, has to be the Amy / Rory / River trifecta in the Matt Smith era.

I think I have maxed out what I can do as a mega-casual. I completed the "normal" tree on my artifact weapon and maxed out my artifact knowledge and there's very little motivation now for me to complete the daily content. Since the LFG tool necessary to find players for Mythic (including and...

The Rebels seriously need to invest in a translator droid. I can only imagine what Klick-Klack was actually saying. Something along the lines of "you dumb #@$@ the empire murdered my whole race for helping them build a moon-sized space station that can obliterate entire planets. I am not...

Perhaps if the fields are left fallow for a number of years the overall landscape will have recovered enough that a true new EverQuest can germinate. I certainly have more than a few ideas about how such a thing could go down.

Finally finished watching this over the weekend and I was very pleased. As someone else said, it was easier to enjoy this because it was different from the books. I like that Landis has expanded upon what Douglas Adams wrote in a way that opens up a whole world of additional weirdness. As for...

Bioware Montreal did the multiplayer part of ME3 as well as the DLC for both ME2 and ME3. Given that the multiplayer in ME3 was surprisingly good with lots of post-release updates and the quality of the DLC, especially the Citadel DLC, was high I would think they are the best option for...

Im actually hoping that part of the plotline involves the Imperial Remnant, or whatever it is calling itself these days, putting itself out there as the legitimate authority and source of stability / support in the galaxy. They could denounce the actions of the First Order and offer material...

Well it only worked because the one Star Destroyer had been fucked up with Ion torpedoes and lost all power / shields etc. At that point it was just a big chunk of metal that they shoved into the other Star Destroyer.

Chapter XII was surprisingly good. I have to wonder, though, how that chapter plays out for a character that isn't a Force User. Since I've been playing my Sith Inquisitor as a 100% Light Side aberration from the start the whole thing dovetailed perfectly into my personal storyline.

I came back to SWTOR since its the holiday break and Rogue One etc. My biggest issue anytime I come back to the game is looking at all the freaking abilities and even more the crap in my inventory and getting totally lost. I actually created a new character this time to play through the intro...

Given her preference for the staff when running around Jakku I would expect her to have a force-staff ala Darth Maul.

I meant Saw Gerrera's group. When they attack the transport in the middle of the road they open up the containers that have big kyber crystals inside and then seem to put new crystals in the containers and close them back up again.

I was worried when we hadn't heard anything about her regaining consciousness following the heart attack... R.I.P. Carrie Fisher

In terms of plot changing elements from the reshoots. I need to watch the whole battle on Jedha again more carefully because it seemed to me that they weren't just taking the Kyber crystals from the armored transport, but were actually replacing them with counterfeit crystals. Was there a...

This would imply that kyber crystals are not a true crystal in the usual sense, but rather a form of stable crystalline element that is either so high on the periodic table or such an incredibly rare stable isotope that it can only be made in a supernova explosion of a very high mass star...

I think it is interesting that we have this film as well as 'Logan' coming out soon. I think this represents a new generation or evolution of "genre" movies. Time was we'd be lucky to get any sort of space opera or super hero title, but now we have a sufficient density of offerings that...

I keep being amazed that Ryan Gosling has become as good as he has... I would not have guessed watching "Young Hercules" back in the 90s.

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.
