  1. Is listening to The Silmarillion cheating?

      First disk in, it's actually not that bad so far. I might give it a shot after I'm done with the other twelve disks (~13 hours). It's pretty good to grade and write my thesis to.

      And you don't have to try and puzzle out how to pronounce any of the wonderful names.

      But that's what the handy pronunciation guides are for.

  2. http://www.warof1996.com/ for some backstory to fill in the gaps between the two movies. In short, it explains why Will Smith's character isn't around... he's died in a testing accident.
  3. The movie you want is pretty much the last story arc in TCW but with Yoda. It would be interesting to see Obi-wan's version of it though. He wouldn't be fighting anybody though so the mood of this movie would be of self reflection and to understand the apex of Jedi training: Force spirit. Anyhow, to set the mood for the rest of this post... Seems like spoilers are starting to show up. I might've been spoiled on Snoke's look and potentially who he is. Am I seriously going to have to abandon the internet for a week starting on Monday?
  4. AOTC is the worst of the prequels. The entire franchise is chock full of inconsistencies as well, especially if you include the Disney expanded universe. As for Anakin and his piloting skills, his skills from piloting the podracer kind of translates to his space ship piloting skills. It's all in the Force. Of course the PT doesn't really get that and a lot of other stuff about Anakin across. You have to go to TCW to get why he was great and why he fell the way he did. In the PT, he's a whiny, antsy kid/teen/young adult (He's roughly 9, 19 and 22 in the PT movies). Yes, CG clone troopers. For R2D2 flying... eh. I like to believe that at the point of the OT, he's old as hell so wasn't maintained as well as he should be. Lastly... I get Yoda is wise and all but why isn't he allowed to use a lightsaber? He's a Jedi and all Jedi learn how to use it.
  5. Yes, I'm in love with the visuals and sounds of Battlefront. If you got a 4k display you may want to give this a go. Even if you don't it is worth a watch. So pretty... And with regards to the previous video of the Battle of Jakku. The Star Destroyer going down is the one from the book/comic that helps setup TFA, I think. Neat.
  6. I love that I can more or less get how the tune will play out. Oh Rhapsody of Fire, how I love you guys.
  7. Cities: Skylines Just because I can and because of Among other things. The other games on the list I have not played but I am interested in Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3. Fallout 4 is a typical Bethesda game that I can wait to play. The Witcher 3 seems like a gem but I'm stuck in the mindset that I should at least play The Witcher 2 before I head into 3. Eh on that... While I only clocked in about 15 hrs of gameplay in Cities: Skylines but with the community and devs working together, this is the modern city builder that was missing from our lives. Sure there are some issues like traffic and the obvious bias for larger cities but this game is continually improved on. Also it isn't like some of the wonky mechanics can't be worked around and be exploited (e.g., traffic).
  8. I think this is a good time as any to really customize my phone and organize stuff within it.

  9. It seems that Final Fantasy VII is going to split into a few parts. What is this now, a Telltale game?
  10. Strangereal motherfuckers!
  11. Ah... I'm caught up with Rebels now. Visually, it is usually better than TCW but it can be inconsistent. Main thing is the characters can appear quite flat. As for story, I suppose it's not as mature as it could be. There's hints of it but nothing near TCW.
  12. Well, not much to say but it seems to play as XV which isn't too surprising. Show me a summon SE.
  13. Why do I still love this series... this game... just to suffer? Also if you feel like downloading it: Shadow Moses in Unreal Engine. It goes up to where you fight Raven in the tank. You can't do anything but it is neat to look at. I suggest playing the MGS soundtrack. MFW.
  14. In my search for ways to remotely connect to my PC at home, I found out that Chrome is fucked in Windows 10. Any Google related stuff is slow as balls and I can't sign in. I never noticed until now since I use Firefox. So back to the drawing board to find a way to do remote desktop. Anybody here ever had success?
  15. I was trying to not to go there but sure. Let's go with that argument.

    Umm, hey Google. Can you do a Google Mobile that does something like what Google Fiber does? if you do then maybe I can even think about moving to the cloud for my phone. Until then, take a look around. I know you're not blind... I'm puling an all nighter by the way. Might explain some weirdness about myself.
  17. Well the suspects went in with the intent to kill. Not much law enforcement can do if the first thing to happen is somebodies getting killed. Same thing would've occurred with Paris if their SWAT/special forces was training around the corner(s). Yay terror attack.

    Huh, I didn't realize they got rid of the SD card slot in the S6 and Note 5. I don't mind the battery since fast charging is a thing and I have external battery packs for on the go. The SD card slot though... I carry around tons of my own music since Sprint data connects sucks in Northridge or really in general. Plus I got a lot of random crap too so unless Samsung backtracks, I guess I'm going for another brand. Like come on, I can easy kill a 32 GB or even 64 GB device. For the record, my Note 4 has 32 GB internal and a 64 (59.59 effective) GB SD card. I forget if I can do a 128 GB card but I seem to recall thinking about it.
  19. Oh fine, ban all the guns. I prefer melee anyways... and yes, this is in regards to the San Bernardino and Colorado Springs shoots. I swear, one of these days I'll be in one squatting in some hole due to a shooting. I was napping in a car on my community college when someone shot someone in the ass in another parking lot before. Being woken up by fully armed SWAT team was nice. Even nicer was being let out of the lockdown. Then there is the thing with one of my old high schools being shot up. What a wonderful life.
  20. Steam ID/Wishlist/Country: Steam GOG General criteria: I'm trending to shorter games now since time is limited. If a long game is okay with shorter sessions then that is fine. What are your favorite genres? Shooters, action games... read the following games. What are your favorite games? Ys games, TitS, SotC, Wolfenstein TNO, Mount and Blade: Warband, Disgaea, Valkyria Chronicles, Dynasty Warriors (3, 4, 8)... and more. Are you looking for any non-Steam gifts? I'm actually looking to expand my GOG library. It's far less curated than my Steam list so if you see something on Steam that is also on GOG then feel free to get it there. One thing to note though, my GOG wishlist will include duplicates from my Steam wishlist and library. I am getting my favorite games onto GOG. Will you take games not on your wishlist? Of course. Any other information you think relevant? I do not mind repetitive games with one caveat: Open world games styled like Shadow of Mordor. I don't think I will encounter another MGSV situation but the butchering of a story driven series is no good... you can't tell a MGS-like story in an open world. I just did a brief update of my Steam wishlist by removing stuff. I'll be working on it and GOG some more. You'll know when I cross out this sentence.
  21. Considering we don't know what Snoke is, those spoilers could work. And oh yeah, I picked this up. What I really like about TCW is that it builds on the Star Wars universe so much. Having Anakin becoming likable is just a plus since the acting in TRoS is still shitty.
  22. Yay, Indivisble has been funded which means I don't have to! Two years, without problems, is a long time to wait.
