Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
I should probably point out that the Death Star is a mobile weapons platform, while the sun sucking planet is stationary and probably highly unstable. Cool, it worked once, but had the impression the odds of it just blowing up where pretty high. Not that it should really matter. This is a fantasy universe with space magic. Trying to apply logic and science to it is a good way to kill the entertainment factor.

What would you do if you had unlimited time and money?
Hah, I think it is awesome that some people read unlimited time and money as not having to work, and some people read it as immortality.

I'm sure I would do some charitable stuff. But really I'd buy some land, build a cool looking castle type structure, grow hops and barley, and run my own microbrewery. I'd bring on a few friends I have to market it and the actual brewing process. I'd also build a mobile taproom and take it to different events around the city. Oh and I'd buy a Tesla. I wouldn't buy a stable of cars, but that is the one I would like to own.

I do not really consider Bill Nye a youtube personality. I grew up with his scoence lessons.

That guy was actually worth watching. Could it be that I've finally found a youtube person I don't hate?

I upgraded to Windows 10. It was surprisingly easy. I think it might be a trap, though.

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens
I just got back from a second showing, my 5-year old did great. There are a few scenes that really got me a bit emotional, even on a second viewing. They were handled extremely well:

Psychonauts 2 :D
I own Spacebase. It's a playable game. It's not great, but it is hardly worth all the controversy it generated. You get what you pay for, I am pleasantly surprised when $20 gets me a deep game, but I do not expect that to happen every time. That being said, I still am not crowdfunding doublefine, but that has little to do with Spacebase.

Yeah I retch pretty bad when the kids vomit too. I usually get the job of hosing them off while my wife cleans up the vomit. Good times. I'm taking the family to Star Wars this morning.

We have 50 pounds of masa. We may have overdone this, I think we can go into business. We have a pretty big assembly line. I am in charge of the propane burners outside. I have only partially burnt some hairs, so it is going well. I am enjoying a Deschutes Jubilale while I work. Very festive.

Obviously Disney has revved up the marketing to a new level, but I'm not sure that has too much bearing on the entertainment factor of the movie. Abrams makes highly entertaining films, by and large. The majority of people seem to enjoy them. Nothing wrong with going against that, I think we all have stuff that makes us scratch our head over their popularity. I'm bummed for you that it is happening to Star Wars, which you obviously have an affinity for.

My house is filled with masa, pork, and chicken, and in a few hours we will start making tamales. We are also making dessert ones with dried cranberries and raisins.

He is still producing, so it's not like he is completely gone. Also LOST was awesome, and I loved the way it ended.

Republican Presidential Debate
Of course, there are some things that are worth spending government money on, and should not be a matter of political party.

The first area you should be exploring is a cave system where you go through an airlock kind of door thing. It is near the docks.

I'm enjoying it, fantastic character development system. Once again, a game that seems to understand the magic of a good skill and perk system. I'm looking at you Bethesda.

Republican Presidential Debate
"In 2008, ABC asked two actors to play the role of an unwelcoming shop keeper and a Muslim customer in a Waco, Texas, bakery. Over and over, the female actor would enter and attempt to order a pastry; over and over, the man posing as the sales clerk insulted her faith and refused to serve her." The media has to stage anti-Muslim incidents because they can't find any in real life.

Harrison Ford crashed his airplane recently too. But he's also 73, we should all hope to be that limber at his age.

SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
Is there something wrong with them waiting until after the holiday to activate the event? I like my games, but I don't expect people to give up time with family over the holidays so I can hunt down bounties.
