  1. Sorry, I thought somme was just repeating Cube's point when he said: With regards to the other-media stuff that I read (Force Droid) compared to the stuff he had read which actually flips the concept the movies portray: Stormtrooper Massive goes down to a planet. Stormtrooper Massive starts shooting shit up. Random Stormtrooper dies. Random Stormtrooper wipes blood on Random Stormtrooper 2. Random Stormtrooper 2 develops conscience and does nothing for rest of the mission. Random Stormtrooper 2 turns out to be Finn. Finn admits Jakku was his first mission. Finn confesses to being a janitor. It gives the message that Finn is a pure freshman coward who hasn't been involved in any combat situation, and has been cleaning toilets etc. Especially when he starts blowing his load every time he shoots something in the Falcon/TIE Fighter*. However it has been revealed that he is a trained and highly commended killing machine (even if it's just "simulation only") who suddenly grew an anti-establishment conscience when his bestie died. Which (I don't know about you) has changed my perspective of the character completely. I think even less of him picking and choosing when he has morals because it's fine shooting other random Stormtroopers now it seems, some may even be his friends. *POINT OF DISCUSSION Dual cockpit TIE Fighter, with the shooter facing backwards - the fuck?! (not the one which has two of those things next to each other before someone starts :P) TIE Fighters back in the day had one man doing it all (The Death Star trench run shows this) now you've got someone facing the completely opposite direction manning your weapon. It's like having someone looking out the rear window and doing your headlights/indicators while you drive. It serves no purpose but to force feed you some bromance between Finn and Poe. How much did those guys thing he had grown since his Revenge of The Sith suit? It's only been a decade. I'm sure he's maintained a similar mass. Please let Finn's Dad be Lando. Please.
  2. All these delightful questions explained out of the film... Great job by those guys. Most of these other-media-things normally offer some form of backstory and "justification" for some things. Not explaining things which left gaping holes in the films. One of my favourite comics was the Jedi Robot, who felt the Force and sacrificed himself. He was the droid with the "bad motivator" in the first film.
  3. I did a search because I was going to refute your point (thought that Finn was home grown like a clone), realised I was wrong but came across this laughable piece of information: "He was considered one of the group's best stormtroopers before he deserted" and other ass-kissing history, but didn't Finn say Jakku was his first battle? Or d'yall think he was bullshitting and acting like a complete pussy throughout the film?
  4. I got a shiny Pirahna Plant too, didn't really know what it was to begin with, seemed to attack more often than its regular paper version. Sometimes I find it's better to leave the Bros. knocked out and let Paper Mario do his shizzle. He's about half a level ahead because of this.
  5. The game has taken a sharp spike in the difficulty shizzle. Going down Mount Brr to use the medallion the Paper Pirahna Plants were a surprise in how much damage they could cause. Tried my luck against two more Koopalings last night but got shafted in a couple of turns and got tired [was late though]
  6. Poe wasn't a new character introduced? I do agree your second point though. Han, Leia at al weren't really there to reinforce their own character development, it has already been firmly established, instead to aid the bringing in of the new crew. All that "handing over the baton" shizzle they keep mentioning. I do hope Finn dies though. I don't think I can deal with the whole self-doubt thing before going balls deep with sucking up the courage to do the right thing at the very end. Vader did it perfectly. It doesn't need repeating by some shit-cleaning-Stormtrooper. CAN I GET A HELL YEAH.
  7. Taking one just as an example. You could assume the same about Admiral Ackbar who has spent little time in the film series (except the pilot bit [although to get to such a rank he must have some semblance of piloting skills] and the interrogation bit [which Poe failed at], because it hasn't been attempted against him yet). That doesn't make him a complex character.
  8. Fuck Helix Glitches. That's all I have to say on that matter. Started getting annoyed with Bounty Hunts now as well. With the removal of sleep darts it makes trying to get them later on a bit trickier without them being a complete pussy and running off when their men start attacking one another.
  9. Agree to a degree, mainly because I knew what was going to happen and nothing new was going to surprise/disappoint me. After reading the IMDb trivia after watching it the first time (a tradition I do after nearly every film I watch now) and random news articles, it was nice to notice some of the quirky things I missed first time/didn't know (ie Daniel Craig.) However I only went to watch it a second time because I had to take the missus with me, who had been most displeased that I had been to see it without her - even though I hadn't exactly said I would go with her in the first place. The things I do for love. They're not really though. Poe: Best Pilot. No other information given. Gives jacket away. Finn: Bred in a lab. Complete pussy. Gets free jacket. Rey: Freelance young Anakin Skywalker (in the sense that she messes with fucked up old machinery). Yes she has things unexplained, but things shrouded in mystery do not equal "complex". Chewie: Raaaarrrghh. Han Solo: Han Solo. Princess General Leia: Doing the same thing even though it appeared to be abolished 30-or-whatever years ago - effectively pissing on the whole efforts of the original trilogy.
  10. What was Jon Snow doing in it then?
  11. I'm not doing all yo' work for yo' punk asses.
  12. I've been going to the gym, and getting a house, so part of my things are done. Working on learning the sax is still on the cards... GO. 2015's thread courtesy of Moogle.
  13. Yeah - Because of "Jedi reflexes", which I think is a bit of a cop-out. Flying a spaceship looks more faster and complicated. The explanation behind being able to pilot a ship was due to his fapping about in Watto's workshop - he did built Threepio after all, so he is familiar with various technology. Rey could be as well, it just did fuck all about establishing any backstory. I think because I'm not thinking about it enough is why I'm finding the film all "meh".
  14. A wise gaming choice.
  15. Luke never flew an X-Wing before Yavin as far as I'm aware, plus Obi Wan's training was pretty short and shitty yet he seemed to use the Force enough to destroy the Death Star - I'm not sure what people are having a gripe about, because it certainly wasn't explained how/why in A New Hope.
  16. So that's a no on the becoming a carer then?
  17. Hearing Dick Masterson's mini rant about the film saw me agreeing with him more than I thought I would: http://thebiggestproblemintheuniverse.com/
  18. BEARD NEEDS TO BE BLACK.
  19. Bayou Billy... Actually had that on the NES. Didn't have the light gun so the shooting sections were either a bit of a ball ache, or impossible. I forget which.
  20. As mentioned, attempted to cover too many games/tracks in one night and failed. Needed to segregate it a bit. Would sound so much better and they would definately get a shitload more money out of it. How many really popular Zelda tracks actually exist? Not counting the eardrum raping Epona warbling you get at Lon Lon Ranch. You're in luck with a Zelda thing, in April.
  21. That Colossus looks super weird. I know they've gone for a more comic-esque aesthetic, but after several previous movie appearances it looks really out of place.
  22. Got this for Christmas, but can't really play it until new year as I've packed up my Wii U for moving. What models would you guys recommend getting?
  23. Try words ending with ing. They genereally do.
