I'm unsure if I want to dive into the books for the new trilogy now or later. On one hand it would expand the context of the movies but on the other, the movies should stand by themselves which I think it is hard for me to judge if I have read the books. A retcon at least a decade in the making. A pretty clever one if true.

I've only ever done one or two egg hunts in my life. All school sponsored and it rained the day prior or the sprinklers were on in the early morning. By the time we hunted, everything was still damp. There might be a third one at a public school in Brooklyn in their prison-acting-like-school's concrete courtyards. Seems odd so it might not be a real memory. Even though I've heard of it, egg rolling just seems silly. I think us kids would just start kicking eggs into the woods (or concrete wall or cars). Maybe not at church or at the White House but at a school one? Likely.

It's a feature! You know how much extra you have to pay for a curved screen?

Then he'll be a squid. STAY FRESH

Word is that it's going for $20. Enough to make me jump. Maybe. I got a backlog you know! Anyhow, come on! MCC for PC at E3 because face it, I'm not getting a Xbone and Scorpio is going to be a premium product. I'm getting the impression it'll reanimate the $599 $599 $599 joke again. The idea of a Microsoft Store is fine but they need to get their shit together.

Got around to Saga volume 7. Helped by the wonderful layout, this one hurt. A lot. Black page. Black page. Black page...

Colosseum DLC incoming May 5th and... I have no word.

No but I should. I just need to get over dem runes laddies.

Ezra is obviously Snoke (Don't say that to Pablo Hildago's face). As for Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight, I have a feeling Bendu isn't done with him. But yeah, the stakes are pretty neat to have. Though it's nice to have a (probable) true survivor. And Hondo has to be in the Han Solo movie. He really cannot be in any other and it be a great missed opportunity.

What the, umm, "first" game should've been. Should be at least gorgeous eye candy. Edit: And if you want a prequel to the canon story of Battlefront II then here you go. I'm actually kind of snoked that we're playing as Imperials, and as what I assume to be Death Troopers. It remains to be seen if our MC will turn to the Rebellion though. I hope not since this squad probably helped form the fledgling First Order. I wonder if we'll be in the Battle of Jakku, the battle where the Empire was defeated and out of the ashes came the First Order. In any case, I have little worries for the story. The gameplay however...

If you are running some odd resolution then you'll get a double movie in the film strip cutscenes. A little odd and annoying but the core gameplay is normal and chances are you'll hit a stable 60fps. I'm sure there are people out there seeing if they can unlock it and then see what happens... On the Hollow Knight front, I might just beat the game again since I have what I need for another ending. Then back on to Trails SC. Then Nier Automata. Then Bayonetta. If I'm successful you guys will see a completion rate unseen in me for years.

Final season. Hold me because of that and that that preview image is like a death flag. Anyhow: Maybe, just maybe, they'll pull a Netflix show next. Being unrestrained from Disney XD should help tell the stories they want to tell. Not to say that they haven't shown some serious stuff but it could've been more.

I didn't wanted to go there when I wrote that but there you go. Puns will find a way.

Finally got caught up with Rebels. As for The Last Jedi, I hope it's better than The Force Awakens which while good, played it too safe. The trailer above gives me hope. God, the next eight months is going to suck.

@Saturnine Tenshi @Saturnine Tenshi Despite its pervy nature, Konosuba a really funny show. You get to really know the four main characters and see them bounce off each other a lot. If you don't like it then you are lost. Or something.

When this started is when I fell in love with the game.

Yes. That one. One thing I'm really liking is how sometimes it is not preferable to use any movement upgrades.

Hollow Knight Amazing game. Pick this up if you don't have it. See FLD's post for more ways on why Hollow Knight is awesome. I personally expected to get sick by the 20 hour mark but no, I almost made it to 28 hours. Granted I could've shaved 5-8 hours off if I wasn't exploring and doing stuff to get myself at 89%. There's a few extra things I need to do to get to 100%, some of which are pretty menial (collectibles), some that I have some/no idea on how to do and there is one so frustrating that I left after trying for a few hours (!). I might try to 100% it to see if I can get a different ending. If not... I want to get the good ending. What I got was not preferable according to many NPCs, especially one I just talked to before I went in.

"Holocaust centers". Sean, are you fucking serious?

God do I hate the Note 3's camera but hey, phase one of my gardening comeback is complete. Bought and repotted a thyme, oregano, rosemary, peppermint (I like my mints) and a sweet basil. All but the sweet basil is permanent. The basil is honestly an experiment to see how long I can keep it going. I've seen some monster basil plants so this could last a while. Anyhow, unless snails and slugs hitched a ride in the potting soil, there should not be any pests in what is essentially a greenhouse by the kitchen. This spot gets full sun (YES) so they all should do well. I'm going to give them a few weeks before I harvest or fertilize them or anything so they can establish strong roots (they were okay from the store). Phase one is for myself really since I always wanted a setup like this. As for phase two... It's in progress and it'll be a slow burner since it's for my mom and her granddaughter (my niece, probably coming into our wonderful world this week). The notes are mainly for sunlight level and drainage. Strawberries in the plot in the center-ish and then probably flowers and veggies elsewhere. I've planted half of the strawberries and I might plant the rest this evening before the rain. I'm also thinking of reserving two of each kind to go into the window box. I'm really unsure how the critters are going to react so best to have a few plants in a safe space to spawn runners from. I'm just not sure if I have space or if it is wise to have so much weight on that hanging window box. It would suck to have the bottom give out. In any case there is a spot in the strawberry patch that I do not know what to do with. Maybe another kind of strawberry or I might leave it for something else since it's kind of like the prime spot due to drainage, sun level and the hypothetical ease of defending it from pests. I might go all out once the strawberries pop out. As for the other plots, it's to be determined. It's probably a bad idea to do any real veggies this late in the season but I can do perennials so they can get established. If I can get some other berries plants for cheap then in they go. One thing to note, the soil is a loamy clay/silt. Aggregates breaks up quite easily and it has some grit to it. Still though, it drains pretty poorly and the lower parts of soil horizon are tougher to work due to the clay. I can see that the previous tenants amended the soil with vermiculite... or more like dump their pot grow from under the stairs (I've found evidence of a hydroponic setup). In any case, I got to work that vermiculite into the soil to help with drainage. I also got a bag that I'm probably going to use in the poorest draining plots.

Can the refund be more if you're seated on the plane? It'd be a really good incentive for the airline to get all their ducks in a row. The customer service side of all this is that the bumping happened within the plane which should not happen (it shouldn't be happening at all...). It's a reasonable assumption that you're good to go once you're seated even if you have the cheapest ticket on the plane. I should add that the manager (the same one that laughed at the $1600 highballing offer) told this to the passenger as the reason for him being chosen. That would piss off anybody. God damn is this irritating.

Technically the passenger was trespassing once UA decided that he needs to be off the plane. From what I understand, in the court of law UA could win on that count assuming that rule/regulation is left intact, so that's nice for UA. On everything else, UA better be prepared to eat shit. Additionally, the cops should be in hot water for at least unreasonable force. I've read that they kind of got thrown under the bus by Chicago PD. And I'm not surprised by Trump's senility.

It's a movie walking simulator but that immersive theater aspect is intriguing. It doesn't have to be in VR but it does help with immersion. Maybe this genre will be the first killer app of sorts. Or it just be like the Wii version of Resident Evil 4. Best version of the game but a splash in the gaming scene otherwise. Edit A word and yay, embedding.

That was an interesting, funny and surprisingly cute episode of Samurai Jack. Jack is going to be (PTSD) Jack and Ashi will be (murderous) Ashi. Ashi will somehow pull a Zuko in 5-6 episodes. She won't be as endearing as Zuko who has multi-season worth of development but it should be good because Ashi is cute. CUTE! Next week, more Aku and bagpipes.
