The hostility was almost entirely a personal thing with Perlmutter, who’s out now. It might not, but just the fact creatives are speaking it aloud speaks volumes, honestly.

I dunno. The Russo’s just openly mentioned wanting to see if they can grab Wolverine for the Avenger’s, Tim Miller mentioned wanting to see if they can bring in Spidey. Public figures keep mentioning it, so at this point it’s entirely possible they’re talking, if nothing else.

I’m glad Pitchford offered help. My guess is he’s pretty familiar how to handle wrecks after releasing Colonial Marines.

(Literally only making this joke because nobody was hurt, but come on, it’s right there).

“I can almost guarantee”

Funny, if you had actually reached out to him directly instead of the comment section of an article on a video game website you could skip the almost part and get a more direct answer. Too bad.

But whatever helps you sleep at night, you poor unsung martyr of the creative process.

It was one of their montage/homage episodes, where they homage the whole ‘crapton of alien space-ships perform a laser barrage.’ They straight up use the Zentradi invasion theme (in all it’s goofy, synthy glory). I want to say it was the final season, or near it?

Yeah, buddy, it must be humanity’s fault. The fault definitely couldn’t be on your approach, the forum you chose to handle it, or the fact you come off as condescending and picking on . Everyone else has the problem.

If only someone could have given you a little constructive criticism before you decided to shoot your…

Constructive criticism is rarely unsolicited before you go off spouting about all the errors.

Particularly to third-parties in the comment section of an article about some random guy messing around in the fan project and learning a little bit about game dev in the process.

“So maybe Harmony Gold gets a little creative with the soundtrack to each episode. Maybe they repeat a couple of pieces here and there, by which I mean they use a small selection of music almost constantly,”

...But the Zentradi theme still plays in my head whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed by something, god-damn it.

Also…

I dunno, some of them look good (The Corellian Corvette comes to mind... of course, it’s a repurposed model that was originally going to be the ship that’s now the Falcon, so maybe that’s why it’s sporting a unique look).

That’s an interesting point though. I suspect it has a lot to do with having a lot of real-world…

For what it’s worth, Rebellion does not hold up to multiple play sessions particularly well—games tend to get samey pretty quick. And you have to really like the particular alchemy of 4x/Hide-and-Go-Seek with Star Wars themeing. It’s actually more obtuse in some ways than Twilight Imperium (mostly because so many…

X-wing tends to have the most lively community, so if you’re looking to play with strangers, that’s where I’d start.

He did take out an entire fleet of ships though as a small child in a ship that he’d never flown before. So I feel like somehow arguing that he didn’t have some special gifts is a little silly.

It has nothing to do with the screens and everything to do with the boom arm, which is moving you up and down while often pulling you to the side or backwards. So you’re moving in multiple weird directions, all of which your brain is telling you shouldn’t be happening, so you must be sick. If you’re at all prone to…

You know what was fascinating about Death of Superman? Being in a comic book shop shortly after the Death of Superman.

It’s hard to overstate the impact the comic had in the comic book world, and it was frankly bizarre at the time. I remember as a kid being at the local comic shop in a small town going from ‘the same…

It took Rob a while to catch onto the trend, but eventually he got the point.

“Jones’ character was originally described as a Rebel soldier, so the whole list of her crimes is slightly weird.”

Listening to the audio side by side with random clips of Mendelson makes me almost positive it’s him doing the questioning, so this is very likely a clip from an interrogation with him.

Bonus points because the theory is Blizzard is losing subs because it’s conspiring against it’s own market and not, you know, because it’s a fucking 12 year old game.

For context, there’s about 11 years separating the NES and the Playstation.

In a TV show, which we’re swearing up and down doesn’t count. That works both ways.

Probably the most amazing footnote to ‘Horse Armor’ is that cosmetic now tends to be the most generally accepted ‘harmless’ DLC, and $2.50 for a skin isn’t considered even remotely unreasonable.

(Oh god, yes I know it’s more of a multiplayer thing, and yes I get the original context of the revolt against it. I’m just…
