And I’m not even opposed to creatures that are fanciful. The creatures that Luke milks don’t bother me, other than the fact that it was a pretty needless fan service for “blue milk”. They’re there, they’re a creature, and then they’re gone. As others have pointed out, the porgs were born of the necessity to do…

George Jefferson also bought the Banks house in the Fresh Prince finale, moving on up for the last time.

I get it, the puffins were a problem. But they could have left the birds in the distance unchanged and edited out the ones in the close distance, or left them as background CGI creations, like many other instances in Star Wars. They made a choice to bring them into the story, to highlight them for the audience. Why…

But the point about Chewbacca is that he was absolutely supposed to be a big teddy bear character that kids would love. And they did!

That’s certainly interesting and understandable, though would it have really been any more difficult to remove the puffins from the shot than to paint over them?

Fair enough. But the fact that their only role was to be cute and the basis for jokes is what I dislike about them. Say what you will about the Ewoks, but there are distinct Ewok characters who interact with the main characters in more ways than just a joke, and they play an actual role in the larger plot of the…

So, there weren’t any plush Chewie toys sold after the release of Star Wars? Are you sure of that? Yes, he’s a more fully realized character who has a significant impact on the plot and is more than just cute, but then that is precisely my point.

I get that Star Wars has always had cute stuff that was meant to appeal to kids and sell toys. Chewie was it. The Ewoks were it. That’s fine. But there’s just something about how the examples from the new films are used that rubs me the wrong way. I mean, maybe it’s just that I don’t think that the movies overall are…

Nah, that episode is tons of fun. There are way way worse episodes. Mostly Matt Smith’s entire run.

I had the same reaction.

Wow. I’ve heard of Ryan and Markiplier, but none of the rest. I’ve never felt so uncool.

I’m certainly not an expert in the emulation scene, but in the video the guy implies that the Xbox One’s security has never been breached in part because MS included dev mode. This took away the incentive for most people to try to break the console’s security because it allowed people to run emulation and homebrew. If…

The article forgot one of more interesting parts about Maximum Carnage, which is that the cartridge was red, as opposed to all of the other games, which were gray.

Completely agree. Ultimate Spider-Man is a version of Spider-Man 2 with better graphics that nobody seems to have played. It was great.

That’s a big part of it for me. I just want to play an interesting story with some friends, and maybe do side stuff like competitive multiplayer a little bit. But games like Destiny rely on trying to keep you always playing the game, always grinding to keep pace, always replaying missions over and over to try to get…

For me, the problem is the presence of other people. In any MMO, you come into a new area, get some quests, and then go out to work on them. But when you do there are clearly a bunch of other people doing the same thing, running around jumping, emoting, etc. And whatever enemies you face just respawn and respawn and…

Very much agreed. 

I just remember finishing both of the main campaigns and saying to myself, “Wait, is that it?”

As someone that doesn’t really care about gear grinding or competitive multiplayer, Destiny and Destiny 2 were games where the campaigns felt perfunctory at best. I didn’t really care about any of the characters or what was happening, I just moved forward because that was the next thing to do, and then quickly…

Short version: they were selling stolen products on eBay.
