Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
She'll be more developed in VIII. She was filming Game of thrones and probably couldn't be more involved so they put her there as introduction and a set up character. io9 just wouldn't shut up about her and how amazeballs she was going to be. I think they did like 4 articles on it or something. Saw links to other sites talking her up too.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
Kylo Ren is Prequel Anakin as portrayed by a good actor under the guidance of a good director. Looking forward to his character development. Really I enjoyed all the new characters except the First Order general dude. He was trying really hard to be threatening and it just didn't work. Also Phasma was like ridiculously overhyped. She really is the new Boba Fett, look really cool then get taken out really easily after doing literally nothing. Also, Luke's hair.

What will you be playing over the new years holidays?
FO4 unless I get Witcher 3 over the holidays

Chris Avellone leaves Obsidian
Sounds like he wasn't creatively fulfilled. For a guy like MCA thats as good as any reason to leave. I hope we see some sort of project with him in the lead at some point.

For the Christmas Spirit...

Will Smith turned it down so they wrote him out of the movie. They approached every cast member of the original that lived except the girl who played the president's daughter(who is still a working actress and headlined her own movie last year so people just assumed they didn't think she was hot enough)- What's on the idiot box?
I discovered Jimmy Carr, and my sides were cramped for like 3 days. If universities are too PC for Jerry Seinfeld...- Xmas Plans
Christmas has become more than a christian holiday in the west. The commercialization and the various non-christian traditions have made it extremely accessible as a holiday. In vancouver I know many Sikhs, Buddhists, and Hindus who all celebrate christmas because they like the traditions and symbols involved. Santa, christmas trees, gift exchange, the feasts, the message of family and togetherness, in a society drifting further apart due to the internet its very appealing. Oh, and the lights too.- Xmas Plans
Watch the Hogfather with the missus on christmas eve while we set up for morning, then christmas day do the regular gift opening and breakfast with the immediate family, then my parents are coming over from Vancouver Island for dinner- Movies you've seen recently
I kept judging Apocalypse's voice against the one from the 90s cartoon. Did not come out well.- What's on the idiot box?
Something about him got under my skin. Coulson totally crushed it this episode, though. I see what you did there- Movies you've seen recently
Its good to hear Krampus is a bit of a comedy, looking at the cast in the first trailer I thought "Odd, this is all comedy actors"- What's on the idiot box?
We started off liking Dark Matter more than Killjoys, but were way more into killjoys by the end of the season. Much better world building.- What's on the idiot box?
Kind of annoying that they had the Doctor kill a guy with a gun just to establish that timelords can randomly become different races and sexes.- San Bernadino shooting
In the west muslim and Arab have become pretty much synonymous, and english uses a lot of generalizations to speed communication. I don't really consider it terrorism unless a terrorist group claims responsibility. There were two attacks in canada the Conservatives tried to label terrorism but the general population didn't consider it so because both instances were just lone crazies.- Movies you've seen recently
Brimstone, IIRC. In the comics, Brimstone was a creation of Darkseid. Yeah, I googled him afterwards. Also, it seems I missed a bunch of the trailer when I first watched it(was walking home), and watching it again, the character design is pretty obviously Doomsday.- Movies you've seen recently
My first reaction was it was Atomic Skull. Now I realize I was misnaming the giant skull faced atomic energy monster from the first episode of Justice League Unlimited.- Movies you've seen recently
I dismissed that theory when I realized all his "evidence" was based on The Dark Knight Returns not existing- Movies you've seen recently
I was on board Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor until that.- What's on the idiot box?
Yeah, the showrunners really hate romance. For that reason alone I'm expecting Hunter or Bobby to die in any episode they show up in. :?They're getting a spinoff, so I think they're safe.- What's on the idiot box?
I'm really digging the show. Its totally style over substance, but its gorgeous and the fight scenes are wonderful. Post apocalyptic samurai western.- Change your profile picture (If you haven't changed it within two weeks)
Changed mine, but now my title doesn't fit.- Apparently standing up to SJW pressure is good for business
Another store tried to do the same thing but stood up for the SJWs instead. They gained 20 new twitter followers and no uptick in sales, where PlayAsia more than tripled their twitter following (from 7k to like 24k I believe) and saw a huge sales increase.- Movies you've seen recently
Black Panther! RDJ's delivery on that "so was I" is heartbreaking.- RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
I wish someone would do that [again] for Fallout. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but have you not played Wasteland 2? I've not played Wasteland 2. I've been stuck at the character creation screen for two days. I can't become even passably adept at every skill and my completionist compulsion is stopping me from progressing until I find a way. Even the Witcher 2 prologue wasn't this much of a challenge. You create a party of 4. Split your skills amongst all 4, and plan for which companions you'll take. - Movies you've seen recently
