Zeus 06/12/18 10:19:11 PM #101:	ParanoidObsessive posted... In a setting where the Empire is still cartoonishly evil, you could easily have one of Luke's earliest students defect to the Empire. Potentially, they discover some cache of notes (or Sith holocrons, or whatever) from Palpatine or others, using the knowledge to embrace the Dark Side and reestablish the Sith. Then you get all the lightsaber battles you can stand, as Luke's Jedi become the lieutenants in the Alliance military who occasionally have to oppose the Sith who support the Empire. And then you've also got the potential plot where heroes have to travel into Imperial territory and try and take down the Sith Academy. ...or an army of Sith clones >_> Given that cloning was a major plot point in the prequel trilogy, the two trilogies could have been tied together by the revelation that the Emperor had created clones as a last resort and wasn't merely using a handful to replace himself but intended to create an entire army but, due to his sudden death, they weren't activated at the time. The TLA replacement could instead feature some unknown Sith working with an Imperial faction and, after his death, they could reveal that there are far more where he came from. At any rate, however we reach a Sith faction, it would have made for a more fun movie and opened the door for better spinoffs. The Wave Master posted... My wife is very white. Pale skin, flaming red hair. She's close to six feet tall. Which sounds fucking awesome. The Wave Master posted... Being handicapped it's hard to do a lot of things. Everything is a challenge, going to the bathroom, getting into a car or truck, and even something like going to the movies. IGN did an article about handicapped issues at movie theaters. It's an interesting read, and maybe it will open your eyes to the plight of us handicapped people. http://m.ign.com/articles/2018/06/03/how-movie-theaters-are-failing-viewers-with-disabilities I think most people implicitly understand most of the challenges. However, there's the broader economic issue that tends to factor into those subjects since there are a lot of costs associated with changes and it doesn't add much benefit to their bottom line -- which, by the way, is why the law regulates handicap accessibility rather than just leaving it to the marketplace (although I'm sure you'd have some market solutions in the long run, particularly if certain types of handicapped people centralized their location or something at which point they'd have so much market clout that they couldn't be ignored) The Wave Master posted...

Zeus 06/12/18 10:31:36 PM #102:	ParanoidObsessive posted... The fact that the new game is apparently going all-in on Pixar and newer stuff like Tangled and Frozen just exacerbates things for me, because I have zero nostalgia for those movies and honestly couldn't give a fuck about them. The first two games went hard on a lot of my actual childhood Disney memories, but they've sort of tapped that well dry, and I am very much not the target audience demographic for these games anymore, so I'm not surprised they're working in more and more popular newer characters that I have no interest in. I've enjoyed a lot of that stuff, so it's fine with me. I don't just need nostalgia and, broadly speaking, they covered a lot anyway. They're kind of at the point where they'd have to get into stuff like Oliver & Company and the Rescuers which would present logistical issues. (I guess they still have a bunch of older films, but meh...) ParanoidObsessive posted... To fall back on Marvel's favorite cliche when it comes to race politics, he was basically filling the Malcolm X role when what we all really want is Martin Luther King Jr. MLK Jr would make a terrible villain. The Wave Master posted... Opinion: My views do not reflect the opinions of otherHeeks in this topic. The whaaaaa? The Wave Master posted... I do not care about Smash. I barely care about Nintendo. I suppose Smash Ultimate is great for fans, but it's not really a new Smash. Ok, it's more of a port or an update to Smash 4. Call it Smash 4.5 if you will. The reactions online seem positive from the fans, but it's not for me. I do not consider Smash a fighting game, or an interesting party game. Plus I'm salty I didn't get any Metroid Prime 4 news. Octopath Traveler looks great though. My big want will always be a Kid Icarus Uprising sequel... or another LoZ in the LttP/LBW style. The Wave Master posted... The latest backlash from E3 is that Cyberpunk 2077 is first person. One of the huge selling aspects of the game was that you had a "Cool" atribute based around your choices, your starting traits, and finally your clothes. It's pretty damn hard to see your clothes and how cool you are in first person. Since the game doesn't have a release date we will just have to wait and see, but first person combat that isn't shooting, can get real clunky, real fast. Yeah, that does seem like a pretty fucking annoying design choice. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:903127033] in Geekmaster...

Zeus 06/12/18 11:16:06 PM #103:	And, in other news, I finally saw Ghostbusters (2016) and... well, it was somewhat bland, forgettable, and a bit boring which makes it even worse than I had assumed. The early stuff was pretty much a waste, other than the Aldridge museum stuff (where even the goofy, trendy virtue-signaling was still fun, such as the PT Barnum crack that was already losing relevance when the film was made). There were a lot of bodily/grossout humor jokes which just bombed. The characters danced a lot, eating up time. And many of the least-funny jokes also ran the longest. The casting was abysmal although I kinda wound up liking Leslie Jones's performance. Kate McKinnon was mostly a waste. She had some funny gags, but mostly bombed. Cecily Strong (who appeared as the mayor's assistant) was also surprisingly unfunny, despite usually being pretty great on SNL. Melissa McCarthy was awful. I was kinda split on Kristen Wiig, since she had bad material but she also failed to deliver when her material was pretty good (although the restaurant scene with the mayor was funny). As kinda expected with a gender-reversed cast, there were a bunch of SJW-friendly jokes and annoying overtones (since most of the film's men were either evil or idiots or both). The original cast cameos were mostly fun, although a few were forced (like Dan Akroyd's ~~cabbie scene~~). Bill Murray's stuff was probably the most enjoyable simply for that resolution. The supporting cast was surprising. It was neat seeing Tywin Lannister as a stodgy dean or whatever. I enjoyed seeing Zach Woods (who played the horror-obsessed HR guy Gabe in The Office) as the tour guide and his character was involved in a few of the funniest gags, such as ~~mentioning that Ed Mulgrave had been dead for 15 years~~. I have mixed feelings regarding Rowan. On one hand, it's kinda neat that the movie has a human villain and the decision is kind of a natural catalyst for the film's events, especially given how they tie his research into Erin's. However, the character is played too hard for laughs and there's a credibility issue in somebody with that many degrees being limited to janitorial work... as well as the fact that the character-establishing running gags about him being creepy weren't remotely funny. Of course, (major spoilers) when he possesses Chris Hemsworth, things immediately pick up since the villainy is a bit more comical and Chris looks like he's having fun with the material. Likewise, full ghost mode is pretty awesome In general, the first two acts mostly suck but the third act is enjoyable. I loved the ~~ghost parade, which reminded me of the cut level from the ps360 game~~. And the ~~ghost brawl made for a neat action sequence in a franchise that doesn't usually do more conventional action sequences.~~ Plus the effects were great. EDIT: As a side-note to that Barnum joke I mentioned, apparently PT Barnum -- vilified for his circus's treatment of animals -- was to some extent an animal rights activist. Which also reminds me of the weird history surrounding Teddy Roosevelt and the bear story, where Roosevelt had the bear in the story mercy-killed rather than actually freeing it. It somewhat demonstrates the moving finger of morality. https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/05/how-pt-barnum-helped-the-early-days-of-animal-rights/525489/ TED Talk referenced by the NPR story discussing Roosevelt https://blog.ted.com/the-strange-story-of-the-teddy-bear-jon-mooallem-at-ted2014/ --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:903130324] in Geekmaster...

Raganork 06/13/18 2:53:47 AM #104:	The Wave Master posted... What the hell Square Enix? Hey, something we've all been saying since the merger happened. How anyone could be surprised that this shit-hole company had fuck-all to announce is beyond me. They're notorious for having non-annoucements. Also, the FF7 remake essentially started from scratch this year. Everything CyberConnect2 worked on has been tossed. Don't expect any FF7 news for at least two years, and don't expect the first entry until the next console cycle. We're basically looking at a ten year development cycle again, just like FFXV and KH3, because Squeenix is managed by incompetent fucking hacks. I_Abibde posted... Like I said in the topic for anime / manga and JRPGs, it looks like the new Fire Emblem game is going to play like a Langrisser game. This, I find amusing. Looks like the Radiance duology, which is great. I was tired of the sprites. The combat animations make the engagements look like actual war battles now. So good to move away from the 3DS. If only the new Pokemon game looked like an improvement and not an utter waste of time. The Wave Master posted... The latest backlash from E3 is that Cyberpunk 2077 is first person. I'm conflicted because I really don't care for first person, but CD Projekt's strength has always been in their writing and world building, so I'm not gonna dismiss the game from the cinematic trailer and handful of details alone. Also, I'm not big on cyberpunk, but the main backlash I've been hearing is how this isn't cyberpunk because there's daylight, which doesn't make sense to me. I thought cyberpunk was about mixing futurist technology with the seedy underbelly of a huge city, which is exactly what the trailer showed. Doesn't necessarily need to involve night. Anyway, best of show was Smash Ultimate because I'm a Smash fan and love how this is just a pure love letter for fans. We know exactly what we're getting with this, and I'm certainly happy with it. Sekiro was a close second only because of the details we learned after its reveal - namely the complete absence of RPG elements. Good. The older I get, the more tired I grow of managing stats and inventories. I just want good combat minus the fluff. Worst of show were the two new IPs announced by Squeenix. That Babylon game showed no gameplay, and that Quiet Man showed none either. How the fuck can I get excited for two new games I know absolutely nothing about? Cinematic trailers are a waste of time. A hearty "fuck yourself" for the fine assholes at Square Enix. Dishonorable mention for the Elder Scrolls VI, which was also a non-annoucement. We already knew the game was being made. Why the fuck wouldn't it? Skyrim was a smashing success. You don't need to tell us you're working on TES6 if you don't have anything to show. If you couldn't tell, I hate cinematic trailers, and this E3 was full of them yet again, which made for a very weak E3. At this point, if a trailer involves a man (or woman) slowly trudging through beautiful scenery set to somber music, I immediately lose interest. So no, I don't care about Death Stranding, Anthem, The Last of Us 2, The Division 2, or practically any melodramatic shooter. To end on a positive note, the biggest surprise was the Hollow Knight release for the Switch today. I'm having a blast with it. <cite>Raganork posted [p:903141177] in Geekmaster...

Raganork 06/13/18 7:12:36 PM #114:	I draw a hard line between good writing and good storytelling. The Last of Us is well written, but it's not interesting. A story of two survivors trying to trudge through the post-apocalypse doesn't do anything for me. At least with something like Horizon you've got a unique spin on the post-apocalyse setting with the cybernetic/primitive hybrid, just for one example. The combat was all stuff I'd seen before. Not to say it was bad, but there wasn't any major draw to the gameplay that I couldn't get elsewhere. It's far from the best third person shooter I've played. Movement options aren't interesting, gunplay doesn't have any unique quirks, the speed is relatively slow for my tastes, and so on. I feel like scavenging for supplies and crafting ammo is a very cumbersome mechanic that too many modern games implement as a way to add a smidge of depth (Tomb Raider, Horizon, The Evil Within) because the actual act of hiding behind cover, centering your reticule, and firing your gun (or bow) isn't at all interesting or engaging, and hunting for ammo is easier to program than designing enemies and encounters that challenge you to fight differently. Basically, my complaint about all these types of games is "I've already seen this before; what's new?" And because I'm a gameplay first kinda guy, hearing the defense of "it's a new story" doesn't do much for me if I didn't already enjoy the gameplay in the original release. And with The Last of Us 2, I saw a whole lot of scripted gameplay, a whole lot of boring conversations between characters I don't care about, and that's about it. What was new? This was their first impression - their chance to hook me - and I guess I'm just not their target audience, because I wasn't impressed. It's a hard pass for me. <cite>Raganork posted [p:903193612] in Geekmaster... [t:76661006]...</cite> <quote>I draw a hard line between good writing and good storytelling.

No matter how many people tell me how great they are, it just doesn't appeal to me. But it's not really accurate to say that there's nothing new or interesting. On paper you could say that most of the elements have been done elsewhere, but I don't think any game has combined all those elements into one package in such a polished and well-executed way. TLoU 2's demo had some semi-scripted moments, but you can also clearly see that the level could have been approached in a number of different ways (which is a big part of what set the first game apart). --- PSN/Steam ID: Metalsonic_69 Big bombs go kabang. <cite>Metalsonic66 posted [p:903208470] in Geekmaster...

Slow controls to trick the player into thinking there's more urgency than necessary is lazy and I'm not a fan. Warhammer End Times Vermintide is as close to L4D3 as you'll get. It takes some getting used to because it's more Melee focused than ranged (although the meta for low difficulty is ranged) but once you learn the mechanics it's pretty fun. I'm waiting for them to whitelist mods so I can have better AI bots on my team and won't have to play with shitty pubs. Carrying a team is easy, if you're good, but there's hidden items that give you more exp and better chances at better items that bots won't pick up.

However, he and his wife AJ are in trouble with living the rest of their lives financially.

He repeatedly says he doesn't love wrestling and isn't interested in it, but what he really means is that he still hates the WWE. And it's currently one of the best times for non-WWE guys to make a living outside of the WWE (and a perfect opportunity for someone like Punk to help sell out RoH or NJPW shows to piss Vince and Hunter off). Especially with the recent news that the WWE pissed off MSG in New York, leading them to agree to host a RoH show there - making it the first non-WWE event in the Garden for almost a century - and with New Japan starting to pull feelers out on the West Coast to see if they can sell shows (and All In selling out in Chicago opens a lot of doors).

For brevity I will just say that its "Dog **." It has nothing to do with it being an all female reboot. It has everything to do with the horrible nonsense of a cobbled together plot. Then the terrible miscasting of the 4 leads, well 2 of them at least (Wigg and McCarthy.) Turns out they hated each other on set, and it shows. Finally the directing. Directing isn't just framing and shooting a shot. It's getting a solid performance out of your actors. That didn't happen at all. It was a mess of a movie, and I wish I could be more harsh, but because its an all female production, I have to walk on egg shells... But it's terrible. Much like Birdman.</quote> I'll do it for you: It sucked shit for a variety reasons, and yes, I believe the all-female cast was one of the reasons (though not the primary one) There, done.</quote> ...
