I imagine that Kings originated from "what if Goliath was a tank that David blew up?" and extrapolated from there.

I still think of them as the Quarrymen.

I wouldn't say I was that disappointed. I got a chance to see him live and it was still a memorable and entertaining experience, just sort of confusing. If anything I'm glad he didn't do more older songs because the ones the audience did recognize (I think "Blowing in the Wind" and "Tangled Up In Blue") were barely…

The special effects crew Sparrowed no expense.

From my own experience, the first fifteen minutes of a latter-day Bob Dylan concert are trying to figure out if that guy on stage is actually Dylan, the next forty-five are trying to figure out if any of these songs are Bob Dylan songs, the next fifteen minutes are trying to figure out if it's intermission or he just…

Supply and demand. The more he refused to drink, the more valuable the opportunity to drink with him would be.

Yes, but now we can moan about how the JGL version would have been great and the studio ruined it.

It's hard to judge their exact power but there is a LOT of organized crime in the Rebellion-era EU. Probably comes from the criminal element being the only faction featured in the movies outside the Empire and rebels. And the Hutts seem like a fixture of the underworld because everyone wants to reference the movies,…

I guess the 'EU headaches' he's talking about are from when the 1990s EU got contradicted by the prequels? Not to a huge degree, because only a few books touched on pre-ANH, but it happened. And there were internal EU contradictions too.

I think Tatooine being described as a backwater wasteland was an exaggeration on the part of a whiny teenager who wanted to get out. A real dead-end planet wouldn't have so many different species hanging around and a well-known crime lord wouldn't make his home turf there. It's not the center of the galaxy, but it's…

That's kind of the point… this was basically embargoing all the stuff Lucas wanted to do eventually (or already had in some vague form since the '70s).

I read that the movie was more focused on Bateman's character originally, so that might be a factor.

They get released to a farm upstate with plenty of tall grass to hide in and all the berries they can eat.

You might say we just ate Jojen and he's in our stomachs right now!

According to Wikipedia, the term 'power nap' was coined after A Game of Thrones was published, so that would be an anachronistic addition to the first book. Which is certainly one of the more atypical ways of showing how long this series has been going.

In the Mount & Blade games, if you encounter an opposing army on the world map, all allies and enemies in a nearby radius will join the fight. The problem is that the radius is invisible- it doesn't show you which ones are 'nearby' until you enter the battle. So trial-and-error save-scumming is the only easy way to…

I remember nothing before Spot.IM.

Rarity as balance is generally bad game design but would be more acceptable if it was applied to specific powerful mons but not to entire types. There's more fun, variety, and strategy in the games if you can use some of the more unusual types early on, even if they aren't the strongest overall.

It's funny that both Trump and Clinton have been in the public eye forever and we can unearth prehistoric jokes about them, even jokes about them becoming president. I don't see why we need to bother with impersonators since we can just recycle decades-old political humor.

I know how the imbalances came about but didn't really want to get into the specifics. It's just staggering how glaring the issues are, like making a 'type' which should theoretically be comparable to any other type, and not giving them a single useful damage move, while most players never even realized the problem…
