  1. Still playing ea's simcity on my android. got to a level where I start a club, which I named cncnz.com for laughs. Someone joined. Who's that crazy!?!

    Overwatch is still fun, Reinhardt is my go-to character.

     

    edit:

     

    ^Oh yeah, I saw this video which I thought was interesting as it talked about how it made controls work for controllers over PC. It's the 3-5min part of the video where they talk about the 'aim assist' of:-

    1. acceleration
    2. snaplock
    3. friction
    4. bullet magnetism

  2. Do we still need spoilers? When does a spoiler warning expire? I think 2 weeks is more than enough time to protect those who really care... if you haven't seen it after then... it's your own fault not the internet's!

     

     

     

     

    I was thinking about the comparisons with FA and RO. I much preferred the way it handled nostalgia in Rogue, with the small cameos. I disliked immensely the reusing of ideas in Force Awakens. All the rebel heroes in Force Awakens were interesting and memorable, and the film didn't need to retread the original trilogy story ideas.

     

    I would have preferred less CGI Tarkin, but I thought it was a ballsy move to put him in, and the performance was serviceable. It's more about Story. I think his presence undercuts Krennic's role, and I wished he came in at the end to take over after that failure. Or perhaps the idea of him as a hologram to Krennic, as the Emperor was to Vader in the Original Trilogy would have made more sense story wise IMO. Swooping in at the end to pick up the pieces after the debacle at the beach...

     

    I also was underwhelmed by Vader boarding the ship. Yes it was cool, but I kinda expected more based on the prequel trilogies and even the power of freezing a blaster bolt in mid air from the force awakens. It also begs the question, why did he lead the charge for Rogue One, but let the storm troopers do it for a New Hope? For fun, I wish Vader was occupied doing something else (being cool and fearsome) on the ship while the stormies board Leia's ship to connect it to New Hope.

     

    But I'm being picky. I loved the movie. It was too slow at the start, but the end more than made up for it.

     

     


  3. As art, it's nice. But as a semi-regular Open-Ra player, it means nothing to me.

    I would prefer a box/crate with an iconic unit from all C&C universes spilling out...

     

    I guess, in the same way the need to change the logo, they probably need to change the name though.

    To reinforce it's an engine and not a mod.

     

    Meh, maybe it'll grow on me.


  4. Loved it... seven samurai with a xmen: days of future past vibe.

    A lot of people complain about the lack of character development, but apart from the slow Mads scene and their weird Forrester over-acting... I thought it was great.

     

    I thought Tarkin was really well done, compared with Tron's attempt. I was under-whelmed by Darth's corridor scene... and his lame dad joke. The whole beach scene was very exciting.I really loved the unnecessary cameos.

     

     


  5. And everyone here is upset with the ranger for punching him... stupid. Whether he should have punched first is debatable, but kangaroos are dangerous and I don't blame him for taking affirmative action rather than waiting for skippy to punch first. Not the best move, but I don't blame him.
