Heads up! Disney has moved Obi-Wan to Wednesdays, so there's a new episode out now. Possible Ep3 spoilers may occur from this point onwards.That's weird. Is there a replacement for the Friday slot?
(I haven't watched it yet, but wanted to drop a marker here for people, like me, who weren't expecting to see the next part until Friday.)
Out of SightThat's exactly my lingering opinion as well. There's an undercurrent to it that I can do without these days.
Well its very of its time isn't it. The depressing thing is that its time is my time and I wonder if I'd dated as badly. Don't get me wrong it oozes the chemistry its needs to work due to the leads being so damned sexy. It has numerous fantastic supporting cameos.
It is however over directed (if that is a thing), the time jumps feel forced and don't really add anything, except arguably allowing the pacing to work better. The freeze... frames are annoying and overall while a decent caper the whole thing is a little unpleasent.
Do you know what makes a TTRPG player excited? a game with a lot of optional source material and, to be fair, EN Publishing has exceeded the output of WoTC during the same pandemic restricted period. That fact alone is laudable.5E D&D is doing so well in part because WotC abandoned the 3e and 4E-era market saturation models. Perhaps ENP spread themselves too thin?
Looking at the most recent developments, I'm not really struck by the new Jenga-based RPG that's on it's way.Looks like a novelty to me. I expect there are bigger plans afoot.
Yeah... a TTRPG based on Jenga... OK, it's innovative, but I'm not sure it's the right move. It just doesn't grab me like one based on the house system being used in Tartarus Gate might. Have to say I'm a little disappointed.It seems an odd choice for a Dredd RPG but don't underestimate the system itself. I've run a few horror scenarios with it over the years, and it works realy well.
But you know the dumbest thing of all. Yep you guessed it. I'm watching Alien Vs Predator Requirm next anyway... now that is dumb!It's dumb, I agree, and occasionally embarrassing in how hard it's trying to be Aliens. But it definitely has its moments. The queen finale is pretty great IMO!
Everything is on a hair trigger. A friend owns the rights to most C64 music, yet has had copyright strikes from YouTube from other companies erroneously claiming ownership.How did your friend manage that, do you know?
I don't have a notion of One True TrekTM. However both Abrams and Kurtzmann have both stated in televised interviews* that they don't like Star Trek. It's "too philosophical" for them apparently. I have a problem with that."'Star Trek' is my favorite show of all time," he admitted. "But for some reason it never clicked with me until I started working on it, and then I fell in love with it."
As someone who absolutely enjoyed the hell out of the last three Trek movies -and never understood some of the vitriol that was sent their way - I can't wait to see this new one. Maybe I'm just easily pleased?You're not alone! They have a lot going for them. I was gobsmacked by the first of the three reboot movies, absolutely floored. The casting was perfect, the designs eye-popping, the action visceral. The shine has rubbed off a little over time, but I've watched it several times since then.
