Official translations for German and French out which due to the nature of their language kinda confirming it's "Jedi" in the plural. Though as some have noted IT was a bit funny with "Return of the Jedi" so it's still slightly up in the air.

Pretty sure the developers have already been paid.

RPS first hour of Prey. They do alert there's spoilers in it, but I can't imagine much in the first hour.

Thor does not approve.

I think the "do all that mess automatically" is something Steam phased out. So while your accounts are tied from that brief period where HIB didn't give any keys out I don't think it's a functional thing anymore. Which I guess is cool for those that like to share out spare keys instead of having them go into the ether. For myself while it's a cool bundle I have quite a few of the games in it and the ones I don't I can likely get on lonesome for less. But as a "starter bundle" it's pretty cool. Shame about them running out of keys though.

It's pretty damn good. Anywho I went to two films today instead of all those silly people paying for two people to see one movie. John Wick: Chapter 2 It's more John Wick but not quite. Bit more plot to it than the last one (and it kinda felt like wrapping up the first, but hey Peter Stormare. Who has also co-starred with Keanu), which I'm kinda unsure of. It didn't need to be complicated by it, but I guess they couldn't kill his dog again. And hey it let them explore the world of the assassins a bit more with the whole gold coins n fancy hotel stuff. They vastly improved the blood too, but from the first they could only go up from there. The ending was a bit anti-climatic though. Doing that thing where they set up a sequel. Lego Batman So..hmmm. Like...it's a bit safe I feel. Kinda missing something from the first a bit. But on the other hand it's chock full of Batman references (want those film posters as wallpapers). So it's good for those. Slightly falls into the Deadpool trap of "parodies other films, does much the same" in that here it makes a point of having pretty much his whole rogues gallery, but still has Joker as the main bad guy. But hey it's Lego which means that Sauron and Voldermort are also bad guys in this. It's better than BvS.

FBI Most Wanted app because why not. Seems a bit more boring than NFS Most Wanted though. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fbi.wanted Also https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.donalddraws.app

https://youtu.be/MGO6poggOY0 I'm no master of the handshake, but damn is that a terrible handshake. Also has no one told him not to pull people? He does it so obviously too, that it kinda loses a lot of its "powerplay" element too. Apparently Ivanka is known for doing it too. Just makes you seem like an asshole to the other person, which in many of these cases are now world leaders. Also that "look at me" so he looks at the PM *facepalm* Anywho in other news (cos I guess I can't say "also" three times in a row) I hear China or whoever now has a handy collection of confidential documents handily illuminated and well lit for them by the phones of the staff. He's gonna be last in the chain of receiving global intelligence isn't he.

Just found out I'm adopted. My new parents are coming to pick up up this afternoon.

Genital Jousting is half price http://store.steampowered.com/app/469820/

2/3 of those were no-name or b-list heroes 10 years ago, and their actors were either practical unknowns or fallen from graces. The entire idea of a "cinematic universe" wasn't a thing at all either.

It's not a gun in my pocket.

I've got a Gucci smelly I wear now and then, usually if I'm trying to impress someone. I assume it's okay (I've fucked up olfactory capabilities which is fun). I wouldn't usually get something like it (same as Ethan I'm usually a deodorant kinda guy) but got it cheap couple years ago at Boots January sale as part of a gift set they were getting rid of for much less than it was standalone. Solid box it came in too, I store trinkets in it.

Err...comic sans.

https://www.makewarnotlove.com/ Make Love Not War back on. Discounted games and DLC n such.

Seems like it maybe improved on the battle controls someone, they are a bit clunky in the first game especially given the real time nature. Scrolling through a list is not always ideal. However the world graphics look horrible, what was wrong with the painterly style of the first game. It suited it to a T.

Justice League Dark Gone gone the form of man, arise the demon Etrigan. So the DCAU continues to shit all over the movie side of things. This time introducing a chunk of the magical side of things, mainly with Constantine, Zatana, Deadman and Etrigan/Blood with a cameo of sorts from Swamp Thing. Joined by Batman, cos "magic doesn't solve everything". They combat a magical malady that's troubling the world that the main justice league can't deal with (in fact help make it worse of sorts). It's all kinds of snazzy and magically zap zap (would be an issue of sorts with it is that it's pretty much just occult versions of like supermans heat vison in many cases really). Just a shame it's one off and not a series, be kinda cool. Though a lot of them do show up (I think minus Constantine and Swamp Thing, given they're sorta new to the mainline DC) in the Batman series and the Justice League show (this is not a continuation of that, Crisis on Two Earths is the only one that's semi-linked to the TV show of yore). Flashpoint Paradox is still my fave mind. Also waiting for them to do a few "What ifs". They've already done Dark Knight Returns, Year One, and Killing Joke. I think this form lends itself to the What Ifs....totally not just angling for Red Son.

So given the recent news I figured I'd give Dune a shot, but I got about a chapter or so in and there was just waaayyy too much gobbledegook thrown in too quick and it just kind of put me off. Maybe down the line, but for now a no. So instead I dived into Ready Player One (since that's also on the list for getting a movie*) which I've been enjoying so far. I guess it's a bit easier to get into given it relies a bit on 80s references alongside being grounded mostly in this big VR system which we're well aware of now. *btw that Kingkiller Chronicles is also lined up to get a movie headed by errr...person whose name I can't remember but did Hamilton. *googles* Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Clue(do) Very much a Tim Curry film, but fun to see a bunch of familiar faces. I knew going in that there had been multiple endings (pretty cool to have that, amazed no one has taken a shot at it in recent times), and was a bit worried I'd only have the one but it actually has all three endings. Reminded me a lot of Jonathan Creek (I don't think America has it, but if it's on your Netflix check it out). I think it does well in how over the top it is, and as the bodies pile up the guests are more and more "oh, another dead person". It's also a very short film, a smidge over 90 minutes with the three endings in it. So if you want to watch something quick one day, then no need to look far. Oh I also liked the end credits as the playing cards showing the characters.

Olivia Colman I've seen mooted and I quite like.

Statement in question: * Some folk get to talk at Parliament, for example Merkel was over a couple years ago. And Obama many moons ago (which as article notes is the first US president to do so)** It's out of Bercows hands on Trump having a state visit, that's up for May or Queen to arrange. But as noted in the above it's within his purview to have a visiting speaker or not. It's not exactly a god given right that heads of state get to address parliament. Given May is not exactly popular, and certainly neither is Trump considering more of us (not myself, cos I know the response last time petition went up) have petitioned to refuse him entry to UK than turned up at his inauguration, it might be that his visit is pretty low key just to not rustle too many feathers with the public. He'll probably end up with some egg on him at the very least. *Skinner who shows up at the end, is an interesting fellow. He's a republican (our kind, not yours) and over the years has humorously let it be known. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Skinner#Queen.27s_Speech_.22jokes.22 **You may notice that because we mostly lack guns he only needs really tiny panes of bullet proof glass.

Not the best vid, and it'll either be taken down soonish and/or Boston Dynamics will put up a proper video, but damn this is a vast improvement over their other stuff. Not sure I'd be able to do half the things that guy does, especially if I was on roller skates.

No as in it's the "how Shield brought him back" is they have a dead Kree they'd extracted some enzymes or whatever from and used that to heal him (and a few others). Oh and then fucked with his brain to make him forget it all. Tahiti is a magical place. Also a subplot of Season 2 shows how Nick Fury came to have a handy helicarrier in Age of Ultron.

Maybe they actually get more money cos of it? Like as a requirement for releasing certain funds is to have MP in their game? (Pretty sure EA announced it as policy a few years back all their games would have MP). (and I don't remember the issue with ME3 being down to it have MP).
