You should've gone for Lethal Weapon then. Dunno, he's probably too old for this sh*t.

See, I can understand that. Personally I wouldn't rate any of the new movies, Lucas or Disney above Return of the Jedi. Not because I grew up with it or nostalgia but because Return is still the gold standard for space battles and I love those. Games, books, movies, TV - space battles? Yes plx. But even leaving the Battle of Endor aside Return is still a more entertaining watch for me than Revenge of the Sith ever could be. I mean even as a kid I found the Ewoks more annoying than cute but Vader with his mask on has more screen presence and is more convincing than Hayden Christensen could ever be, and Return didn't have characters like General Evil McBadface Grievous or scenes that pointlessly drag on and on like Obi-Wan's lava lightsaber bonanza or Obi-Wan's car chase. Revenge was a cringe-ride with a few impressive scenes and Return was a fun romp with a few cringy scenes (oh hi Han stepping on a twig or Ewok twapping himself with a bola or Chewie doing the Tarzan). Right, so where was I? Oh yeah, most people seem to disagree.

Still Playing Cuphead. Stumbled upon some bugs - game crashed right before the score screen when I finished the final run and gun level at a pacifist rating. Luckily it counted but I had to replay a level to get the achievement. Later on it didn't register my super meter usage during a boss fight, ended up having to replay it for the rank. Still not entirely sure what to think of it.

The thread also needs some DIO:

Steamworld Dig is on sale for the Switch, so I went ahead and grabbed it.

It would maybe have been more interesting if it didn't reference to things that we know absolutely nothing about. At the time it comes in TFA, nobody gives a damn about the Republic or what they did nor do we really know why the Empire is now called the First Order and how the Imperial Remnant's only oppsition can be the RESISTANCE. But even if we had all the information that's apparently available in books (yay) the speech was bad, and while I like Bill Weasly he was not the right actor for the role (or was given utterly insane directions).

I thought the Imperial Guard scene was terrible. Well, no, not the scene, the scene itself was fine. It just had some issues, like the sudden multiplication of guards and the fact that it looked and was coreographed like a Marvel Superhero battle. It felt jarringly out of place after the actually pretty good stuff between Kylo and Rey. Not really. Part 7 was a loose remake. This one pretended to be a remake with every development and then, for better or worse, dumped some twist on it. Oh yeah, they dumped some twists on us. Some of them felt like a big "well, screw you!" - taking the interesting parts of the episode IV remake and... discarding them with the grace of the proverbial bantha in a porcelain shop. Edit: Fixed spoiler tags, woops.

Yeah, I know what you mean, although my reservations are greated than the feeling that I liked it. I enjoyed watching the spectacle (and I was at a 4DX showing so a spectacle it was) and some of the scenes but others, well, there are some scenes and things in this film I hated more than everything Lucas did in the prequels and that takes some doing. I'll go into details once more forumites have seen it and we can have a discussion without killing the flow of our posts with excessive spoiler tags. One thing though:

I keep reading these illegal voters accusations every time there's an election in the US. Are there states where voting doesn't require some sort of photo-ID or are there no voter registries to check against? At least some way to track if a person is legally allowed to vote?

Played a bit of Cuphead, finished Inkwell Isle I and a few bosses on II, already grabbed a couple of A+ ratings. Great animations and music, okayish sound design, nice difficulty and tight gameplay, except for the parrying which feels tacked on and sometimes doesn't really work (although that might be my controller showing signs of its age). Why am I not enjoying this as much as I think I should?

I'd be interested to know how twitchy it is. It's another real time 4X that looks great on paper but I'm sort of afraid it'll turn out to be a Sins of a Solar Empire. For reference, AI War was okayish in terms of pace while something like Stellaris is the best alternative to turn based.

Yeah, he's now being stubborn and not conceding because he wants to wait until all the votes are in and until tomorrow, because 'god wills it' or somesuch. I guess it's fair enough if he wants to wait until it's all in, but still.... He's also calling for a recount.Well it is his right, but since he was denied fair trail and due process before I'm not surprised he will be denied this to. Jones wins will give Dems one input - it's possible to win using mud throwing again. Waiting for the paper ads "Will accuse a candidate for $$$. Two accusations in price of one." Trump 2020! Well the rightists lost. Stop being butthurt and deal with it. Also: R00fles! Man what a joyous day. This thread keeps getting better and better.

I also bought Darkest Dungeon which I wanted for a while now, so I'm done with all the freebies and for my wallet funds I bought a star and got... something. Yeah. Heh.

Hm, bought Cuphead Contra with better animations. The sale's as good a reason as any to finally try it.

Man, every time I read Roy Moore my brain makes Rudy Ray Moore out of it. Bitch, are you for real?

Did you actually find players to complete the group missions with or are they soloable by now? I finished them when they launched and everyone was doing them, but getting a group together must be hell these days.

Nah, Yoda Luke will die of old age in the next movie. Eh, at any rate, going to see it on Wednesday. Or rather, very early Thursday.

Eh, so I battled through the entire game but the trench run is glitchy on Canoe. TIE attacks coming from the sides are overlayed by the Death Star trench, rendering them invisible until they smash into my shields. Guess that means as far as I'm concerned I managed to finish the game, the trench run was always only more of a formality anyway. Ah well.

Since I saw the Picard video in the Christmas thread... #IncrediblyUnbrokenSentence

3 is a disappointment, but 2 is great. Finished the second one. I have fond memories of all three, but yes, the third is probably the worst of the bunch. Guess they spent too many resources on the improved overworld that nobody asked for. Anyway, playing Super Star Wars now. It's just as torturous as I remember.

Nah, Humberto Cabbagepatch wasn't the problem of the film. None of the actors were. It was everything else that was bad.

I love Best of the Worst and the Wheel in particular. Too bad Mike broke the old one though.

Can't go wrong with a punk rock version of The Little Drummer Boy. edit: That really highlights how rhythmically strong the drum line of TLDB is.

Finished Donkey Kong Country on my SNES Classic Mini. That made me, uhm, "install" DKC 2 and 3 to continue the series. <3 DKC.
