TFA is out on Blu-Ray.

Having seen most of the bonus disc, I'm sort of disappointed. Then again, TPM probably has the best bonus disc of all time, maybe tied with RvD2.

So a friend of mine and I are doing some music these days. As I'm slowly building a studio at home, it's getting there. We're currently working on a Slipknot cover that you can check out.
The track is me on vocals and one layer of guitar, Karstein on guitars and me whistling the riff because we haven't had time to work in the synth just yet.

Well, I was talking about the classic Tomb Raider games.

(Hasn't helped that I went back and saw ST:ID for the first time since the theater the other week and was really caught off-guard by how much I completely fucking hated every single god damn minute of the thing.)


If it's any consolation, I never watched Star Trek as a kid. I haven't seen a single episode of TOS, and DS9, Enterprise and TNG episodes were caught on TV during matiné hours, simply because it was on. I never watched any of the films, and in general, didn't care much for Star Trek in any way, shape or form.

That being said, I quite enjoyed the reboot. And I didn't have a problem with Into Darkness either.

So I guess, from a fairly neutral standpoint, the new films aren't bad, and that may or may not have been the idea behind them.

agreed. Cyberpunk Star Wars would probably be better than Cyberpunk and Star Wars.

There was a cool contest over at CG+ that ended a little while ago called "Star Wars Reimagined". This is by far my favorite.

I finally got around to Mirror's Edge. Pleasantly surprised. Took some getting used to the flow of it, but once I did, it got so fucking satisfying! Totally recommend it (also, super-cheap on Steam right now).

Also have gone back to the original Tomb Raider games. Almost at the end of TR3 and it's not as irritating (pull a switch that does something in some room you have no fucking idea where it is) as I remembered. Fun!


Maybe not, but I find the controls horrific. At least compared to modern layouts and schemes.

It's mainly just a test site for that white tower. Making of concentric circles and all.

You sure do. There's an Eeve, Vaporeon and Flareon. Jolteon's on his way.

Although not as impressive as BDA's utopia, my brother and I have, alone, for the last two years been building ourselves a home in Minecraft, too. We've done work here and there, and we've had months without doing anything, but our world is called Shambala, for, I guess, the obvious reason.
There's also things in here that the render app(Chunky, thanks BDA) doesn't show because it apparently needs sunlight in order to show things properly, things like Atlantis, the underground labyrinth, the Great Hall, and our quite expansive subway system that takes you faster between all these locations.

In any case, here are some cool looking snaps from that world.

Inside out.

Meh.

It had a few laughable moments, and some really, really dark moments, but all in all it was very forgettable.

Not much romantics going on in the movie either, to be fair.

I guess I didn't see too many this year.

But, The Martian, Interstellar or SW get my votes.

* Why did Fin want to leave in Rey in the bar? And 10 minutes later he was freaking out when she was being carried away. It's like that contrived rom-com formula where they have be break up for a bit, except this one felt totally unmotivated.

I forget the details, but he wanted, if I recall correctly, to escape to the outer rim, and wanted Rey with him. He then felt compassion to help her out.

* So R2D2 had the map the whole time and was just sulking? Didn't anyone know that? And Kylo knew what piece was missing and couldn't figure it was the Jedi Temple?

If I told you this important stone is on our planet, why can't you just find it? I mean, it's definitely here.

avatar wrote:

* Is the Falcon a piece of shit or not? They want it both ways. Traders steal it off each other (so it must be in demand) then it sits under tarps collecting rust and is their second choice.

By people who don't know it, it's a piece of shit. I wager the current trader is just sick of this ship getting in his way, and just tucked it away instead of risking it get stolen again.

* Why doesn't Chewie fire his bow several times when Han dies? Just one lame shot and a long pause and then turns to stormtroopers. His best mate just died. He should have been hammering Kylo with rapid fire as soon as the saber went through Han. And what's he doing during the whole duel scene? He could've helped them out. Lucky the planet took so long to explode as Poe blew up the thermal oscillator ages ago.

Yeah, I got nothing.

* Han seemed to frequent Maz's bar a lot but was unaware Luke's saber was stashed in the basement.

Obviously the saber is on a need-to-know basis. Han simply didn't need to know.

* Still not clear if the Empire is the same as the First Order and what the relationship between the Sith and First Order is (is one subordinate to the other?)

Owen explained this pretty good further up.

avatar wrote:

* Rey has to be Luke's daughter, right? There were a few subtle clues in the flashback sequence. Luke got drunk around the bonfire on Endor and knocked someone up.

It certainly is played out like that, and I would be surprised if she isn't.

Actually, I was so terrified that he'd be an actual giant, because that would mean they built his room around him and he can't ever get out and that's why he's so damn angry and sinister.


Fixed.

I'm hoping Rey isn't an Anakin descendant too. An issue I had with the prequels was too much small world syndrome. Give us some truly fresh blood here.


I don't know, until later in the film, I wanted to believe Ren was Jacen, and Rey was Jaina, or, at least, inspired by them, inheriting the names and all. Of course, when Han shouts BEN, that theory went out the window, but at least they kept one of the EU names, as Ben Skywalker was Luke's sun in the "Legends".
After that theory bombed, I still have some idea that Rey might be Luke's daughter, and nobody told her. If she's younger than Ben, it has the potential to make some sort of sense that she was hidden from him, and shielded from the Skywalker Curse, or something.

But then again, she isn't, judging by appearances, younger than him, and it doesn't work.

Eh, we'll see.

One theory I've had for a decade or so, seemed to be confirmed by VII, though. Lightsabers. New ones have stable cores and don't flicker, whereas older ones seem to become more unstable, and flicker a bit. Look at the OT; all sabers in there are old, and flickering. In the PT, where they're mostly new sabers, they're all stable as hell. Even Anakin's saber was steady until it had been locked away and not used for 20 years.

Well, it's something.

I do agree that the dogfights seemed a tad last minute. There's not a lot of info on Starkiller Base, apart from how it got its literal name, and it's wasted in that sense. "Oh, look, we one upped the Death Star with a fucking PLANET. Guess you're pretty fucked now- oh, wait, damn, you broke that too. Next time we're just using fighters, that seems like a better tactic."

It wasn't bad, I'll give them that.

I'll have to watch it again to make sure whether or not I loved it, but it was definitely my kind of Star Wars; A great homage to the OT, whilst making it fresh.

There have been great debates whether or not it's too like ANH, to which I point people towards ROTJ and TPM, which are that too. Also, my friend caleld it way too cliché, to which I pointed him towards all the other 6 episodes, who basically made clichés what they are.

I'm on a social media blackout.

Does wonders for my phone's battery.

I'll be watching it in 21 hours.

More than twice.

But I'm watching it on Friday, chill out wink

4 days? It starts the 16th in most of Europe wink
