I love that people are maintaining getting hit in the head repeatedly couldn’t POSSIBLY cause brain damage. After all, look at all those healthy, stable boxers with absolutely no brain damage at all!

If you’re going to whine and cry about Star Wars being a rip-off, at least refer to the movie it’s a remake of.

I’ve been playing Puzzle Forge II a lot lately (shut up, it’s a good game) and the “crafting” is hilarious. Two staff parts and one plate makes... a shovel! And you will have clients that want gems and enchantment on their shovels!

Oh, I didn’t say LA would pick up the tab. I just guarantee you there will be “YOU WOULDN’T WANT A HALF FINISHED STADIUM, WOULD YOU?”

Yeesh, that sucks. :-/

The “private” financing will run out about halfway through the job.

What rings my alarm bells is she got deported and the baby didn’t. There’s more to this, I suspect a LOT more, that will turn up once we learn who the dad is.

“Let’s put her in front of a Congressional committee! SHE’S NEVER DEALT WITH THAT BEFORE!”

“No new donation requests went out from Clinton’s camp, but money came pouring in anyway—and plenty of the donations were from people who had never contributed to her campaign before.”

eSports are growing, yes, but part of the issue is that everybody wants it to be football. It’s not football. Arguably it shouldn’t be football.

Return of the Jedi is pretty good. It’s also the least of the trilogy and has the most problems.

Well, really they’re both jerks here. Of course Clark is going to be pissed Diana interrogated the people they’re trying to rescue at lassopoint, and of course Diana’s going to be pissed Clark essentially tells her “I trust literally everyone else in my life more than you, even my former boss who hates my guts now.”…

Man, good on William Prosser for trying to make a boring topic fun.

I used to half-seriously insist that the only AC games worth playing had boats. I’m still waiting for Ubisoft to put out that pirate game spinoff they keep threatening instead of the crappy mobile one.

In the sense that I wanted to light that part of the movie SLIGHTLY less on fire, I suppose I agree with you.

I took a few issues to warm to Vader because Gillen really started it off typically, but after the heist as the plot began to unwind I warmed to it quickly. Lando was also quite good, and I enjoyed the Leia series even if it suffered compared to what Dark Horse was doing right before the license was yanked. Chewie…

Oh “The Road To Jakku” books are entirely to stripmine nerd wallets, let’s not pretend otherwise. This is Disney “synergy” all the way.

Exacerbating the problem? A lot of the SW books where Marvel doesn’t have to hit some studio memo’s plot points are much better. Darth Vader in particular. Space opera and noir work together: Who knew?

A tip I wish I’d heard: Have one person call in and request pricing for an “event” and then you call in and ask for pricing on a “wedding.” Anybody who quotes a higher price, cut them. Would have saved my wife and myself a TON of trouble.

If it helps any, I’ve seen online people solve this by picking one surname for the middle and one surname for the last.
