100% agree. Conference Champions should all get a spot. Even if they only open that up to the top 6 or 7 conferences, and then 1-2 ‘wild card’ kind of spots. Of course, the biggest problem UCF has had is not that they don’t get to play quality opponents, is that the bigger schools won’t schedule them. Too many…

Beautiful.

You’re asking the tough questions. Ones we often don’t have answers to. And I get that. The only thing I can say is that God is perfectly holy. And the Bible says that all sins are the same in God’s eyes, no matter how big or small. Stealing or lying would be no different than a terrorist who has murdered thousands.

Proud owner of 2 switches. We have purchased neither the Ethernet Adapter or a Pro Controller. I would hardly call them ‘essential’ accessories. YMMV I suppose on the wifi, but I have a 6-7 year old router, and rarely have trouble running both units at once to play Splatoon.

Definitely one of my favorite series. I’ve not played ALL of them, but darn close to it. My biggest problem at this point is that all the bits and pieces of the games mush together in my brain. Was that thing in X or XII? I don’t remember!

I loved, loved, loved the milk scene. And really, everything on Ach-To was such a great way of showing how Luke had turned into the grumpy old hermit, just like Yoda, with no interest in training any one else ever again. It made the payoff of him learning how to truly become a good teacher so much better. There were…

I don’t understand how you can possibly say that the characters did not develop. Luke CLEARLY changed from the beginning to the end. Poe’s change was clearly shown between the decisions he made in the first battle against the Dreadnaught vs. the last battle on Crait. Rey’s character changed from an insecure girl not…

I don’t know why, until now, I had not put together that both Luke and Rey saw themselves when they went into their respective caves. It was done so differently in TLJ, and was focused on the bigger question about Rey’s parents that it didn’t click for me. I like that they both saw themselves, but for completely…

Agreed. I was personally pulling for her to be a Kenobi, but I honestly never thought they’d take the route of her being from nobody. Still, if they retcon it with a ‘from a certain point of view’ type of approach, I don’t think I’ll mind it too much. Much like, by the time Obi-wan admitted to Luke in ROTJ that he had…

This is cool and all, but it doesn’t explain how Finn, a lowly Sanitation worker, would have knowledge of this sort of tracking system being newly available to the First Order. Like, do ALL Stormtroopers also get trained in astrophysics and high-end First Order technology? For what purpose? Honestly, that’s one of the…

This was one of the things I LOVED about TLJ. I understand that a lot of people were disappointed, because they want Luke to be the all-powerful-hero who saves the day. That’s who he WAS. But that’s not who he IS now, and I loved that Johnson was brave enough to go that route. It makes more sense from a narrative…

I think far too many people are holding on to Luke as the ‘main character’ at this point. If we remember that he’s a supporting character at this point, it makes more sense.

Agreed. I don’t understand ANY of the hate against this scene. It’s been 40 years. OF COURSE Luke taught Leia how to use her powers. But just like in the old EU materials, Leia’s heart was always in helping run the government. She clearly learned how to use some of her abilities, but she would rather be in the bunker,…

You sound a lot like my wife. :)

Wow....cool your jets man. I would much rather have honest and open articles like this, than some of the politically bent tripe that gets tossed about here some days. There’s LOTS of people who come to this page for other sci-fi fandoms besides Star Wars. I’m the die-hard crazy fanboy who grew up on Star Wars, and…

I can totally identify. Don’t have kids yet, and so I likely have more free time than what you describe here. But I can absolutely identify with the feeling that I’ve been left out as games have ‘evolved’ over time. Don’t get me wrong. I LOVE playing Destiny. But lately, I’m lucky if I get to touch it for even 2-3…

Nice. Looking forward to how the Snowball stuff works. Mayhem was a blast in D1, so that’s absolutely welcome again! On the other hand...I likely won’t have enough time to play to collect anything significant. We’ll see.

There are some legitimately great things about this deal, but I can’t help but feel that there’s a monopoly being formed here somewhere, and that the federal rules are gonna have to kick in at some point to keep Disney from having too much power. I’m typically a libertarian/small government kinda person, but even in…

Reading this, I find myself identifying with each of you in some way. Already have late Friday blocked out to watch TFA again, as we’re going with family on Saturday afternoon to see The Last Jedi. I’m resisting the urge to tear up just reading what you all wrote above. I was doing fine with the anticipation leading…
