Backlogged: King of Igniters Edition

Cool, thanks for the recommendations. It seems my list is fated to grow ever longer.

Just when I think I’m out, they pull me back in. But thanks for the recommendation; guess I’ll be completing the trilogy after all.

Turns out most of your ‘90s brawler recommendations are already on my list, so it’s encouraging to know that the genre has more to offer than the Golden Axe franchise would suggest (the only one I’ve played so far was Final Fight, and I recall enjoying it).

Backlogged: Spelunking on SR388 Edition

Yeah, the chapter structure really allowed them to gradually introduce details about the world and its characters, and the villain ends up being quite a tragic figure in the end. It helps that the final boss battle is quite memorable too, thanks to the gradual, startling evolution into his final form.

Backlogged: NecroSayonara Edition

I’d say AM&TW positioned Jimmy Woo fairly well for his own origin story, if Marvel actually want to follow up on it. Just make it so that the original 1950s Jimmy Woo is present-day Jimmy’s grandfather, and that he’s been trying but failing to live up to his family legacy. Then his grandfather’s old team of (top…

I’ve yet to play Three Houses (I tend to lag behind a bit on new releases), but if the social mechanics interest you, I would highly recommend Awakening and Fates as well. And I’m also delighted to see Tropical Freeze getting some love. Though they tend to be incredibly charming and creative, Nintendo platformers…

Hmm, still no progress to report on my retro gaming list (still plugging away at the Dark Souls remaster), so perhaps a Nintendo-exclusive top ten in the meantime?

Well, I *did* check Wookieepedia for the exact dates, but I know off the top of my head that:

Not to be a massive nerd, but this show takes place in 11 ABY and Rey is born in 15 ABY, so no dice.

Backlogged: How Do I Format These Posts Again? Edition

They probably were closer together in Lucas’ mind, but it’s clear that at least some time has passed between them, enough that Luke could have begun to train and master his abilities in the mean time. The same can not be said for Rey, which just adds to the problem people have with her immediate mastery over all…

Yeah, but the one free lesson that Obi-Wan gives Luke in ANH is the exact one he needs to destroy the Death Star. Obi-Wan makes him wear a helmet with the blast shield down so that he can’t see and must rely on the Force to guide his reflexes. He grumbles, struggles, but ultimately succeeds.

I mean, by the time ESB opens the Rebel Alliance are about to abandon a base they didn’t even have during ANH. I don’t know if the film gives any clear indication of how much time has passed, but there’s clearly been a considerable interim. Meanwhile, literally no time passes between the ending of TFA and some of the…

It was actually three years between ANH and ESB, so he had even more time to train on his own.

It was announced by Feige, came with a Marvel Studios-branded logo, and he specifically mentioned that she would transition to the films, so we’re good to go.

Well shit, that’d work.

I mean, they make it pretty clear that the Jedi think having children (or significant others) leads to attachment, which leads to fear of loss, which yada yada, Dark Side. Evidently they decided it was better to have lower numbers that were more easily trained/controlled than a whole bunch of Anakin-types running…
