Apropos of nothing, Steve Blum is the fuckin’ man.

I honestly thought Ana was supposed to be Sombra when they announced her, and Sombra was like some pre-production codename for her or whatever or Ana’s codename from her Overwatch days or something. But then she wasn’t.

The side-quests you speak of are still there, they’re just turned off by default because the game is now streamlined to let you level properly by only doing your class missions and planet story missions. You can turn them back on by checking a box on the map window. It will make you rather overlevelled rather quickly,…

I still believe Jade Empire was our first look at the world of Dragon Age. The Empire just exists on the other side of the world from Thedas. They fit together so well; the method for Golem creation is essentially the same, the Water Dragon, spirits of the Celestial Bureaucracy and demons are just from a different…

I remember even the Prima Strategy Guide for Jade Empire’s strategy for all the game’s later fights boil down to “Use Jade Golem.”

All this drama about NMS on Reddit...and I’m just over here quietly exploring my five-planet second system because FIVE PLANETS (and one of them is completely habitable!).

Counterpoint; FMA:B’s English outtakes. They’re not, like, Berserk-outtakes good (Berserk is the gold standard for funny anime outtakes as far as I’m concerned), but still pretty funny.

So, fun story about Cowboy Bebop; my brother owned the DVDs and we watched the show, and of course the ending is fucking brutal, but Blue, the song that plays over the credits of the final episode, is beautiful, so I downloaded it into my music library.

A few years later, I’m by myself in the house because my…

“Anime-wise, I like Gundam Wing. I come from that era.” Jesus, you and me both, buddy.

For a second there, I read this as “Kevin James beat a guy to a bloody pulp” and thought that sounded like a much weirder story.

Force Awakens and then Rebels have re-canonized Malachor, and a long-dead female Sith Lord who I really, really, really hope turns out to be Darth Traya. Given that Rebels is also reintroducing Grand Admiral Thrawn to the canon, I have high hopes that HK-47 will too.

I’ve been making more of a concentrated effort to get in on the ground floor of this new Star Wars official EU. I bought Tarkin, I have a few volumes of the Darth Vader and mainline Star Wars Marvel comics, the first Aftermath book, as well as Lost Stars, Lords of the Sith, Legacy of the Force, and the Battlefront…

Littlefinger has more class.

As far as I can tell, there was a single Minimate of him, and that was it.

There was one toy in the Marvel Legends line of the fake Mandarin/Trevor Slattery. As far as Killian goes, I found exactly ONE piece of toy-like merchandise that involved him; it was a Minimate, it was part of a set, and I think it was a Comic-Con exclusive. Some kind of convention exclusive, anyway. As far as I can…

Generations Roadbuster is a damn good toy, which is good, because I really, really, really like Roadbuster. I don’t know why, I mean, he’s a D-list Autobot who never showed up in the cartoon due to his G1 toy being licensed from another company and only really serves to fill out the Wreckers in the comics and then…

Rhaegar Targaryen. Got to be.

Or B.O.T.

You can’t just “move to a new country”. My wife is an American immigrant, she moved up here to Canada about two years ago to marry me (nothing to do with Trump) from Chattanooga. She just got her permanent residency a month ago, which means she can live here in Canada, go to school, get a job, all that good stuff. It…

Also the only time in the franchise they let Michael Dorn in front of a camera without all the Klingon makeup on.
