I'm getting a PS4 because of this game. Last year I bought and returned a PS4 Star Wars bundle cause I was disgusted by the whole fiasco. Said I would get a PS4 again next year if there was more games I was interested coming out and if there was a good sale going on. Tomorrow I get my PS4 Pro bumble and have a half a dozen other games coming in.

Neflix's live action Cowboy Bebop
Roy Focker replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Didn't Keanu say Cowboy Bebop would be too expensive to make into a live action? -
Okay so without giving away any names they killed a series regular. I just watched it and it was one of the more interesting characters. This season started with both Rick & Maggie actors leaving the show. The character who died tonight could have filled in the gaps.

It is a sad, depressing mess but I love to watch this bad show just for the laughs
-
Yes give me the "D" Everybody loves getting the "D" Be sure to tell all your family on this Thanksgiving how much you love the "D"
-
Isn't the re-releases of Stick and Ray still this month? I've got both on pre-order.
-
I guess they have to do their best to milk their design for all it's worth. These variants are an easy pass for me. I'm more about screen used and iconic mecha.

I want to go sleep now but I'm super awake from preorder madness.
-
And I just got my confirmation email from Ami Ami.
-
Okay so I guess it now time to start asking what's the next in the line and should we panic that the line is ending cause it has been 20 minute since the last preorder and Bandai hasn't announced what comes next?
-
Okay Ami Ami finally allowed me to drop 2 of them and just keep 1. Which I now have on pre-order.
-
Ami Ami says I have 3 in my cart and can't seem to drop 2 of them.
-
I'd like to order from ami ami cause I have other preorders with them but god this ain't working.
-
Okay I'm now here lurking for pre-orders.

KO's are great when you love your expense fragile toy but rather have a stunt toy to actually play with. KO's are bad cause you can never buy a used legitimate toy again on eBay. All future purchases have to be new releases from well known stores.

The Unlicensed Third Party Transformers Thread
Roy Focker replied to slaginpit's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Bought a KO MP Sun Streaker & Megatron. Already have a couple legit and KO MPs. Broke an arm cover on Sun Streaker during transformation. Megatron didn't break but that transformation process is way too complex. I would be way too terrified of transforming the really thing. -
It's not a Tomahawk or Phalanx but I'm still happy.

Boba Fett was good in Empire as the mysterious stranger. He looked cool. Did little but was competent in what he did. You were left wanting to see more. As kid when Jedi came out I knew we would see him again. Being the last film he was sure to die but we would see him use every single weapon before that happens. We didn't and that was so disappointing. Maybe an in universe explanation is that Fett's successful cause he out thinks his targets, intimidates them to surrendering without fighting them or kills them by ambush. In reality he's always been terrible at fighting. Captain Phasma on the other hand was just incompetent. You'd think she would be competent to earn her position but she's out smarted by some of the least smartest heroes and was out fought by a former underling of the lowest rank who just woke up from a coma yesterday. If she was suppose to be a badass we never saw it.

I know some people didn't like The Force Awakens become it was mostly a remake but Abrams did a good job of introducing plots that could be use for the entire trilogy. Did you ever play the group story telling game? Where one person starts a story and passes it to the next person in a circle? Johnson is the jerk who ruins the game because he doesn't like the story that was passed on to him.

Good job Mr. Bay you've managed to get your academic paper published by the main stream media. That's much better than a scholarly journal. Back in my school days if you wanted to go on to graduate school and be somebody in academia getting published was key. He's done a great job by picking a topic that people outside academia care about. I don't know if any scholarly journals published it as well. They only publish research if it passes their standards. Other researchers who subscribe to such journals get to read and evaluate the value of articles within. Main stream media doesn't care too much about evaluating research methods. I haven't read his research. I only got a undergrad degree in a related field. Even without doing the research I think it is common knowledge that the alt-right, Russians and trolls were heavily involved with all the hate. These people like to stir the pot for kicks. Main stream media covering research like this unfortunately allows studios and the press to place all future negative criticism on them. That's what I dislike about this type of fan backlash. Your legitimate complaints will be ignored when you have an element of fandom that crosses the line. If you use the same rhetoric you'll be lumped together with them. Which is part of the reason why we don't want to see it here. You're all capable of legitimate and the occasional childish criticism on pop culture. Sharing and repeating ideas of the alt-right even when they're valid doesn't do your own argument any good.

AfterAfter watching positive and negative reviews I've come to a conclusion. The last movie was a "good" movie. The director had a vision and while not every element was perfect he accomplished his goals. Many people appreciated this new approach. On the other hand it wasn't a good Star Wars movie. These aren't science fiction movies that are meant to mirror out current times. Star Wars is a heroic fantasy series inspired by historic myths. It has more in common with a Disney fairytale than science fiction. Like a bed time story you can't tell your child a reimagined fairytale. A child knows what to expect from such stories. If you change the rules it is no longer a Star Wars movie. Critics can praise it for surpassing our expectations and effective storytelling but it is no longer heroic fantasy.

Wow a Transformers movie with Transformers that look like Transformers with Transforming that your eye can actually follow from start to finish.

Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2 is comin)
Roy Focker replied to Ladic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I wonder if they'll have him doing a stunt where he's outside his fighter jet trying to launch a missile by kicking it loose. -
I've got enough VF variants. I really want the next one to a Destroid or enemy mech.
