I think the Outer Rim support ended up not really existing though since no one showed up (thought for sure we’d get a Lando going “yee-haw” kind of moment from it).

(I think EA’s practice is here is extremely shitty and predatory trend, but it’s also kind of incredible that of all the awful shit that’s ever made its way onto Reddit, this is what achieves the perfect confluence to be most downvoted.)

Think of the lack of revenue a four day late review of the newest Star Wars will cause! Four days of THE LAST JEDI ads covering The AV Club, but not one single review to tell people whether the movie they bought tickets for months in advance is actually worth watching or not!

I found that super creepy too. It’s not even like they graduated. They’re in the first half of their junior year of high school.

My favorite thing about this show is how I started out thinking Steve was a douche and during this ep I’m just shaking my head and thinking, “Girl what are you doing? Steve is amazing.”

One of the nice things about last season is that it felt like they had the typical 80s bully antagonist in Steven and then undercut it in the best way. Not sure why they wrote Billy to just double down on what they seemed to be smarter than.

Gizmo was definitely a reference, but there was a part of me that was hoping they’d go further with it and endear us to Dart a little more before making him a monster.

The least interesting aspect of it is the “why” for the Upside Down / Eleven / etc and more about this well-written, well-acted characters confronting “stranger things.” Trying to go all LOST with the mythology feels like a real bad idea.

When the first scene of the season finished, I thought, “Huh. I hope that’s just like a nod at other stories out there and not a Chekov’s gun, cause that kind of widening feels like it’d really fuck things up.” Then along came episode 7 to prove it’d fuck it up harder than I could’ve guessed.

I like the idea of it a lot—and think they should have been doing something like it more throughout the season—but thought the episode itself largely sucked because the performances of the gang were just too broad and awful while the look of it veered far too towards atmosphereless Schumacher.

You forgot R2o-D2o there to the left.

There’s a dark irony that everyone’s complaining about the lack of single-player in Battlefront (which I’m sure will be fine and serviceable in II) is part of what ultimately fucked over this single-player game, and causing all the hand-wringing over the death of single-player experiences.

Press X to “Who were your guys?”

What does he beat out though? You didn’t say.

And awhile back there was also a pitch by Uber (maybe they were testing it? I can’t remember), about a version of Uber that carried multiple people along set routes, and the car would just travel that route all day, making its predetermined stops.

Lot of people who can’t seem to believe that their friends would dick them around a bit.

Yeah, I wasn’t allowed to play with them as a kid because my parents viewed it as a satanic device. I feel like this really caught on during the satanic panic of the 90s.

It’s just an axonomtric view looking straight on (used in arch drawing a lot)
