I followed Jack's method and well..... Thanks Jack! Took a long while. I fucked up by having my settlers arrive BEFORE I had security, food, and beds. So I started off in the 20s instead of in the 70s. Also I gave everyone sleeping bags instead of proper beds, which eventually lead to someone saying something along the lines of "everyone is upset about the bed situation" this coincided with the happiness being stuck at 72, immediately it started going up. Got to the mid-90s and left my PS4 on from about 11-3, woke up to 98. Turned my PS4 back on around 9 and got to 99 pretty quickly, just made it to 100.

Beat Fallout 4, did both the Railway and Institute endings. I think the Institute will be my "real" ending that I'll use with DLC. Just working on one more trophy, the Benevolent Leader trophy, to get the platinum. I really took my time and enjoyed this game. Hopefully the DLC isn't far off.

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, Carrie Fisher doesn't really look, or sound, like Leia anymore, but I didn't think her performance was that much worse than her previous acting in SW films, she was never really a great actress but regardless it was still great to see her as Leia again, if for nothing else than nostalgia.

I love that Carrie Fischer just brings her dog with her everywhere, even on sets, she had him at the Conan Star Wars special too.

When I left the threatre yesterday, my main thought was "so this is what it's like to go see a good Star Wars movie in theatres for the first time".

I gotta say, I really like how in the trailers

HOW WAS IT THAT GOOD?!?!? I just. I just. I CAN'T EVEN. I JUST. FUCK. WHERE'S EPISODE 8?!?! Ok ok, I've had time to gather my thoughts. Here goes. Unrelated Star Wars question: When the Emperor was telling Anakin the story of the Sith who could create life, and then he looked at Anakin, were we suppose to assume he impregnated Shmi Skywalker?? Yes, almost everyone did. Not me though, I was in too much shock. Quoted for truth.

AHHH THURSDAY YOU'RE KILLING ME!!!

GAAAHHH I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE SAYING. This hype is killing me. QUICKLY, rank The Force Awakens among the rest of the Star Wars movies.

I decided I couldn't wait, so I moved the wife and I's tickets up from 9:45pm to 3:15pm today. 8 more hours to go. I'm simultaneously excited for the movie but also scared shitless of the internet. Most movies I'm excited for are comic book movies and I've spoiled myself by either following the leaks or knowing the comic storylines. Assuming I can avoid spoilers for the rest of the day, this will be the first time I've gone to a movie in ages completely blind.

I remember clapping at the Michael Moore 911 movie, like.... 2 weeks after it came out. WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING IN THIS THREAD?!??!!

#wherethegreatestplay

I'll be staying the fuck out of this thread JUST to be safe. I don't want to stumble in here, forgetting it's out a day early in the UK and they're 8 hours ahead of us, and read Dean dropping a major spoiler like what happened in the Doctor Who thread.

Sony has a history of purchasing developers after they release PS exclusive games, hopefully that will be the case here and Kojima's future games can stay where they belong: on PlayStation.

Friday 9:45, assuming I can still get tix. Seeing it in 2D because fuck 3D.

Yes but Thursday Next's issue is no one who's not American knows when Memorial Day is, and when you're releasing a debut trailer on the internet, in an era where American ticket sales only make up a fraction of a movies profit, it's stupid move.

YEAH! First, they should be on the DATE-MONTH-YEAR bandwagon. It's really annoying living next to them because it's probably 50/50 when you see a date if it's M-D-Y or D-M-Y, they confuse everything. AND THEN, using Memorial Day?? That can't be a real holiday.

I had read something somewhere that the reason he didn't want to be involved is they didn't want to cast his son as his character's son. I don't know if that's true not but I like it so I've decided to believe it.

Ah didn't notice the page swap. I will say, no Will Smith is probably a +.

I give 0 fucks.

Welp, I just watched Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith. I think this must have been only the second time I've seen it, because I didn't remember it well. Again, there was an over reliance on CG, even for scenes that could have just used a built set or shot on location (the final scene with Obi-Wan giving Luke to his aunt and uncle, anyone??). But that said, outside of General Grevious (who was dumb as fuck BTW) the CG looked much better than ATOC, though it is starting to look dated. Most of the Jedi went out like little bitches, only that one kid (plus Obi-Wan and Yoda) put up any fight. Chewbaca felt forced (ahahahahaha) into the movie, but it was still kind of cool to see Yoda interacting with him. The whole ending was very rushed, if Lord of the Rings can have like a 45 minute ending, we can at least see Yoda arriving in Dagobah, hear Obi-Wan explain what happened to Anakin, stuff like that. I mean the movie is all set up anyways, they should have gone all in. The dialog (and acting) between Anakin and Padme was still awful and cringeworthy. The whole reason Anakin fell to the dark side was pretty stupid. Seriously, Anakin, you couldn't tell you're being played? Dumb. All that said, it was light years ahead of ATOC and TPM, and, dare I say, a "good" movie, or at least I enjoyed it, instead of getting mad at the TV the entire time like I did for Episode 2. The fight scene with Anakin and Obi-Wan was fantastic. Obi-Wan and Anakin actually felt like friends in the beginning (something that was very lacking in ATOC) and their quips back and forth to each other, kind of, sort of, felt like classic Star Wars. R2 was boss as fuck. Jar Jar had about 2 lines in it. And Ewan McGregor honestly felt like Alec Guinness. I think the major problem with this movie is it didn't feel like a conclusion to a trilogy, rather, a set up to another. I guess that's the problem with a prequel where all the events are so well defined in the original films. There was very little resolution to anything, it wasn't a movie on it's own. It was suppose to be the "last" Star Wars movie, instead it felt like a cheap tie in film. And as I mentioned earlier, it didn't even do that well, since everything after Obi-Wan and Anakin's duel was so rushed. Also how the fuck does Obi-Wan go from mid-30s in ROTS to mid-70s within the 20 years between Revenge and New Hope??? In summary, I guess I just really want a movie set 10 years after Revenge of the Sith, starring Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan, where he goes on one last mission for Yoda/Organa/whoever.

Yeah, they should be above it. Yoda's all about being wise, there's nothing about him that suggests he'd be a master swordsman until he starts flipping around in the air like an asshole.

I'm currently watching Attack of the Clones, for the first time in at least a decade+. What a terrible fucking movie. The acting from everyone except maybe Ewan McGregor is just completely abysmal, the CGI is bad, the writing is horrid. It was a bad movie when it was released and it's just gotten worse since then. Why the fuck is Yoda using a lightsaber? Come the fuck on. Not to mention how terrible he looks in 2002 compared to 1979. But here's what really bothers me.... Owen Lars. Ok so pretty much most of the major references in the original trilogy don't really jive with the prequels. Leia says she remembers her mother... girl, your mom died minutes after your birth. Obi-Wan says Anakin was a great pilot.... bro, he had never even been into space or in any vehicle other than a podracer when you met him. He flew a fucking ship on AUTOPILOT in Phantom Menace. But Owen Lars is the worst. He really gives Luke, and the viewer, the impression that he knew Anakin fairly well, encouraging him not to go off to fight, and recognizing Anakin's traits in Luke. But he met Anakin for all of 5 minutes before Anakin rushed off to save his mother and then when he came back Anakin was clearly grieving about his mother, and still wasn't there for that long. And then Anakin fucking leaves without even saying goodbye. Ok, that's weird BUT THAT'S NOT EVEN IT. Shmi Skywalker seemingly brought C3PO with her to the moister farm. Cool, that's rad. And I understand C3PO's memory gets wiped. But does Owen Lars also get his memory wiped? Cause Shmi has been living there for years, so C3PO has been there FOR YEARS. Even if he doesn't have his gold plating on him, he's still C3PO. And then R2 fucking D2 rolls out during the funeral of Owen Lars' stepmother, a pretty fucking important moment of his life you'd think he remembers it. And then the two droids leave TOGETHER. 20 years later, Owen fucking buys BOTH droids and even talks to C3PO, who introduces himself as C3PO, and hears from Luke how the R2 unit has a message for Obi-Wan AND HE DOESN'T PIECE IT TOGETHER?! Holy shit George Lucas. It's not like you're trying to write a prequel to Game of Thrones where there's hundreds of characters and centuries of backstory and lore. Also the Trade Federation guys are embarrassingly racist and WHY CAN R2D2 FLY?!??! Why didn't he ever display this ability in the OT?? He never once had a moment where flying might be useful?? WHY ARE THE CLONE TROOPERS CG?!?! I'm haunted by the film you should never have made.
