Oh FFS this takes me back to my pre-HALO fps days, playing a freeware version of Quake that just the few levels over and over...

They axed a final boss fight in Three because most fans considered the human proto-reaper battle to be tackiest video gamey part of two.

I liked it too, even though Kai Leng was a ham-fistedly written “mustache stroking” villain and all of his interaction locked into scripted scenes, I still thought it was the best of the series that effectively used what came before it. Also as a big B5 fan, I’m still perplexed that people “disappointed” by the ending…

Kind of disappointed, I was hoping they would do more story-based expansions tied a bit more explicitly to the factions.

Yeah, a couple of the RT guys playing with him were joking about their contact highs on their live stream.

Because I enjoy being a lab rat on a running wheel, The Division endgame dailies.

My favorite joke of the premiere...

According to nu-canon the Y-Wings originally looked like this during the Clone Wars. By the time of Episode IV they were getting so long in the tooth that the techs had to strip off all of the plating just to keep up with the maintenance demands of the ships.

I can’t cite specific parts of the canon on it, but logically a lot of the Clone Wars tech got tossed into galactic boneyards as the new Imperial military coalesced around a handful of “loyal” companies.

For what it’s worth, there are rumors going around that the game’s going to go pseudo Destiny, after however many levels the trailer’s ground side scenes represent, with a ship functioning as the hub for branching missions.

Meh, at this point I’d have been surprised if they actually had pulled it off.

Yeah at that point a person’s outed themselves as an ignorant virtue signaling regressive looking to appropriate the issue for their own political ends.

Except that Production I.G. seems to be involved with the production to the point that it’s actually the cast they picked not Dreamworks and Kodansha also seem to be satisfied with the production’s reverence for the source material, given the statement.

Well given that Production I.G.’s EP’s were apparently the one’s with final say on the casting, which given all the regional politics and prejudices , it’d be pretty hard for Dreamworks to make so sort of “bold stand” for diversity with “another East Asian” in the role. Rinko in particular was probably never even…

Yeah, one of the big things I can remember from them was how he said the in-universe Japanese government patterned more after parliamentary system in the UK rather than what was outlined in the Japanese constitution.

I can’t remember where I read it, but this is apparently sort of Spielberg’s own version of Cameron wanting to do his take on“Battle Angel Alita”

Can’t remember where I read it, but the native Hawaiian rights guy in the movie that Cooper and her go to visit, said that she actually looks like a fair approximation of the woman the character’s supposed to be based on.

Ironically, according to one of the other comments up above, we can all thank the two Japanese EP’s on the project for the look of the cast. Since they apparently are the one’s with final say on the casting.

Funny you should mention that last bit, given that the prologue scene for the IP’s latest animated movie featured a set of black twins with lips right out of the era of black face.

So then comrade, if Goldberg is TOO biased for you on the subject, who then would you consider unbiased? Glenn Greenwald? Max Blumenthal? Peter Beinart?
