Burn Gorman was the perfect person to play him as well. He is excellent in those 'complete and total asshole' characters who, nevertheless, do have a point. Murtry was absolutely correct in his initial charges afterall and was pretty broken up about some of his crew being killed.

Who thought one of the standout characters would be a freaking Ugnaught?!

It moves well beyond that

Deborah Chow being the showrunner for Obi Wan's series has me feeling that it's in good hands after her episodes of Mandalorian. The ending was super sad though :( Note: why don't all the TIEs land like that?! Makes so much more sense than the silly hanging racks.

Yer going too fast!! Pull-up or you'll melt on re-entry!! Man was not meant to consume an entire season of Expanse every day! In related news I failed in my attempt to ration the season out and have now finished Season 4... Only 350ish days to go until Season 5 I suppose

Did they say why they recast Arjun (Avrasarala's husband)?

Im waiting for a generational upgrade of resolution / frame rate. Every time I've tried VR I've gotten nauseous. I forced myself to push through the VR Xwing demo on the PS4 that came out at the same time as Rogue One and I was sick for like a day afterwards.

Of course he caught it...it was his one actual true feat of superhuman martial prowess!

Class diversity isn't a huge issue if the narrative is suited to it, but in terms of making archetypes that appeal to all sorts of gamers its not exactly great. For example: one reason why I can never get into many Korean/Chinese MMOs is their tendency to make magic-using characters be chicks...

Star Wars is horribly inconsistent when it comes to travel and hyperspace. It's why they had to invent the Interdictor class Star Destroyers for games set in the universe, because there's no reason not to just hyperspace away whenever a fight happens. Ideally you would have a semi-complex...

I had to chuckle at the final Peteypedia entry.

The side plot I liked the most was the change in Mars. Once the possibility of all those worlds manifested it was only natural that terraforming Mars was a lot less interesting.

The first few Forgotten Realms book, of which the Drizzt / Icewind Dale bunch are included, were very magic-lite. The lack of class diversity was pretty annoying in that the Companions included a human barbarian fighter, a dwarf fighter, a human fighter who used a bow, and a Dark Elf ranger...

I am trying to ration these out. We shall see how long this lasts as I want to gobble them up like a ravenous stoner at Taco Bell

Bill Burr, Clancy Brown, Moss from IT Crowd, OSHA from GOT/Tonka from Harry Potter, Anakin Skywalker Voice/Wyatt from Timeless... I think the brother is the only one I didn't recognize. I loved the way Baby looked at his hand at the end.

Well the (Direct)Xbox was always supposed to be a showcase of Microsoft PCs as a standardized gaming platform. This just seems to be bringing the two even closer together. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a suitably powerful PC and could just run the Xbox OS?

The spawning business is truly annoying. I think I'm fine and heading back to the drop ship when suddenly some new mechs pop up outta nowhere. I could maybe see if if they came jump-jetting in over the mountains or something to have his their approach, but nope it's straight up instaspawn

It's not near as polished as it should be. They should have given up on the 'walk around the ship' part of the game and just had a nice onboard dropship UX. The hiring of mercs/market/loadout part of the game is straight up Battletech, the main change from previous MechWarrior titles is the...

I think the way Jon perceives time has to connect into Lady Trieu's clock somehow. I'm just not quite sure how and if she is someone we should be rooting for or not. Best guess is that Jon set this up with Will and Will set it up with Trieu but as to the rest of them and the 7th...

The fact they are splitting up Crisis over the winter break is very frustrating, but probably a good idea as they can end episode 3 on a hell of a cliffhanger this way.

Hmmm I forgot the Mandalorian was playing Maxwell Lord. Everything is coming up Pedro Pascal these days

I mean what the fuck people... Spoilers right in the trailer!

I just realized that Russ Haneman is Mickey Mouse...that seems so fucking wrong.

I have faith that Filoni knew exactly what he was doing, but we won't fully realize it for awhile.

I'd buy a mug for sure. Chances of someone recognizing it, even if it had Fires of Heaven on it, would be low but if they did it'd be pretty sweet.

While reading over some comments on another site about how incensed people were at the idea that their shopping habits were being tracked it occurred to me that many people, most people, hell possibly nearly ALL people are ignorant as to the degree to which they are being tracked by various...

So the first of the NEW ToysRUs stores is now open in NJ and it is interesting to read all the comment pieces about it. Some people are flabbergasted that it is now more akin to a WeWork setup where toy companies pay to have different micro-shops set up within a larger space. This is silly...

"Frosthaven is coming! I know, I know, we just announced Jaws of the Lion, and now there's this, too! So much new Gloomhaven! Or, err, I mean Frosthaven. While Jaws of the Lion is geared towards bringing in new players to the Gloomhaven world, Frosthaven is my chance to tell another epic story...

I doubt it's a linear scale. We also don't know how he was found in the first place or how he 'got away'. Could have been in an egg for 40+ years for all we know.

‘Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge’: Jar Jar Binks Actor Will Host Disney+ Game Show I feel that they are intentionally baiting fans with this... If so: well played.

https://www.businessinsider.com/mcdonalds-new-chicken-sandwiches-test-2019-12 I saw this article and did a double take since that sounds like and looks like the already-existing Southern Style Chicken Sandwich. Then after Googling in confusion I learned that they killed that sandwich off in...

How...?? Is it Nielsen only? I imagine the target audience watches with the HBO apps

Cyber Monday deals seem to be kinda terrible. I suppose there really is no actual incentive to get people to shop online anymore.

The second season finale was today and it's... meh. So far the Titans haven't done much of anything except have internal drama...hell they've killed more people than they've saved by a significant margin. The ones with superpowers tend to be less than super most of the time (except Raven, the...

Claudia is not gonna last much longer if she keeps cast rez spells... Be interesting to see where things go from here as things look like they are resolved in some way...but we know that's not the case given the evil guy in the cocoon. I'm also surprised that we haven't seen Callum gain a...
