I think I would care about GTAO if Rockstar added more to the map. I don’t care about the next $4,000,000 car. I want to explore. The fact that it’s now being re-released for another generation makes me somehow hate it even more.

Holy shit, that picture of the guy on the couch with the woman looking on in utter gear worship is poison. It’s maybe half a step up on the craven marketing scale from advertising smokes children.

have you ever heard the tale of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

It’s, weirdly, a good sign, because of separation of church and state. The ad department and editorial department should never influence each other.

Hera!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wedge and Hera!

Chris Rock was making a joke..Certain things need to be pitched to set that joke up. That doesn’t make it reality, it makes it funny. You’re an idiot for taking a comedian seriously, now go and hang yourself.

Jesus God. The police aren't the enemy.  What's with all the anti-establishment propaganda these days? Anarchy isn't the way.  There are bad apples in every single profession on planet earth. Anyone who thinks that defunding the police force is going to suddenly fix the world's problem of racism is a goddamn fucktard. 

because they are awesome.

I agree with your proposals but the connection between climate change and police brutality seems weak at best. It comes across as an attempt to use current events as an opportunity to write about your issue even though it's not really related.

This is some dumb shit. Give us season 4 and deploy the military to handle these violent riots. 

Yet people here make fun of Trumps daughter all day. hmmmm

Just here to say again that I am aghast at how successful Ahsoka has been, and how her character remains the exception whenever I call for existing franchises to develop new frontiers and go beyond revisiting existing locales and characters. Do we need more TNG goodness in Picard? Not really. Do I want to have another…

Constantly think: Thank God we never had kids, can you imagine being stuck with a bunch of kids?

And by “creator’s position in the company”, you’re referring to the “George Lucas’ favorite apprentice” role? If anyone still working at Disney has the right to make a decision like that, it’s Dave Filoni - he understands more about what makes Star Wars tick from a story perspective than anyone else there. I suspect…

It’s all sour grapes for me when it comes to Ahsoka. I appreciate the fan fervor, but if we can’t have Jyn Erso because she wasn’t seen or mentioned in the original trilogy, then Ahsoka should have met the same fate. It’s not fair that she gets to survive solely because of her creator’s position in the company.

I’ll do you one better:

Some people reaaaally need to stick to games

I guess that’s the nail on io9 coffin for me. That’s sad, actually, as I really enjoyed the site, on the good old Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders days (All of us old users are forevers orphans of that time). As a non’American user, I don’t really care with the editors and staff opinions on Trump or anything…
