Yeah I really think it was an inspired choice to cast him in that role.  The whole movie was brilliantly cast. 

Gears 5, too (which I quite like) but yeah a terrible year from that standpoint. All of the counter-examples I thought of were from last year.

If you have GamePass, it’s on there.

“where are my friends playing?” kept me on Xbox long enough for GamePass to make Xbox the clear choice for me. I have friends that I play with basically every day, whom I’ve been playing Xbox games with since literally the day they launched Xbox Live on the OG Xbox in 2002. I linger a generation behind on PlayStation…

You know what I found really weird, is how many Battleborn characters appear in the movie Ready Player One. Every single crowd scene inside the Oasis has multiple Battleborn characters in it, where Overwatch is represented by a couple of quick Tracer appearances and that’s it.

I thought it was pretty clever to have the clerk recommend a Chinese restaurant, which are well-known for being open no matter which holiday it is. It seemed a reasonable suggestion for Thanksgiving day.

It was clever enough to distract me from putting it together, anyway...

Truth.  I’ve never gotten such consistent value for my gaming spend than from GamePass.

PSA: This game is included in GamePass for Xbox and you can pre-install it now ahead of Friday’s launch.
They just keep handing me reasons to be glad I’m a GamePass subscriber.  I’ve never gotten so much value for my gaming dollar.

He was also a fan before he got that job.  He’s a big sci-fi fan in general.  I remember a video about the voice work on Mass Effect 3 and he was geeking out over the opportunity to star in the series, since he’d played the hell out of the first two games.

And let’s don’t forget the fan petition to give the property back to Lucas when they were mad about The Last Jedi.  Apparently all is forgiven between the fanbase and George Lucas.

Class Action Park is an okay name I guess, but I would have thought they’d go with what everybody called it when I was growing up: Traction Park.

He’s really, really into ratings. He just won’t STFU about them, so this is no surprise.

It came across as much more nuanced than that. Yeah, Roseanne gets in one (1) zinger about universal healthcare, but that was also preceded by a scene where Dan comes home from the pharmacy and they have to work out how to stretch their medication to make it last in spire of declining insurance coverage meaning they…

Agreed, I watched the first two episodes and the Trump support fears are overblown. In fact, it’s mostly contained within Roseanne and Jackie needling and provoking each other, which is 100% in line with their established relationship.

It’s significantly more progressive than most people are probably expecting, but…

Well I think the important thing about the government’s backing of the Resistance was that it was limited, under-the-table, and meant to be easily disavowed, because the Republic and the First Order were not at war and were both in fact bound by a treaty.

Ha HA! Joke’s on you, it’s actually a collection of trilbies.

I commend you for the A Chorus Line reference in the article’s title. *slow clap*

I don’t think that’s Disney’s call, given it’s a Fox show. Also it’s already been renewed for a second season... I really loved Adrianne Palicki as Bobbi, but The Orville is great and she is great in it, so I’ll live I suppose.

I have been playing Starfighter Assault mode in Battlefront II obsessively. I’m having a ridiculously good time with it. It looks great, sounds great, handles great. Takes place in all three of the cinematic Star Wars eras.

If they developed Starfighter Assault into a full stand-alone game of its own, I would 100% buy…

I think she said “towel,” not “shroud,” which is actually way funnier.
