Being made the Evi Genius Apple

If I were creating the world I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, 8:00, day one!

Just finished Fallout 4.

Now playing some lighter games: Rocket Birds 2 and Alien Breed 2

Strange Brigade? Well, it's no Desert Strike.

I actually feel a bit bad for him. His wee sad face at losing £9,200 over Marleybone.

Only a bit tho.

I'm doing festival stuff with the missus on the 11th I am afraid.

Is this over?

Similarly I was never thinking there was any mystery to Snoke. He's the chief bad guy, leader of the First Order.

By the time the original trilogy ended, if you go only what is in the films, we knew Absolutely fuck all about the back stories of the Emperor, Boba Fett, Yoda, or Chewbacca.

This misses the point for me, and highlights the sloppy writing here.

We don't need background. We need motivation and purpose. We knew the Emperor wanted to crush the rebellion and turn Luke. We know Boba Fett wanted to get Hans's bounty. We know Yoda was the last Jedi and reluctantly trained Luje. We know Chewie was loyal to Han.

How? As there were interactions to give this info over.

Note, too, that these characters affected the main characters. These minor characters were there for a reason, to develop plot and character development of the main cast.

Snoke? We're just to understand he's the bad guy. As you say, we know he's bad so why do we need to get any info?

Show, not tell, that's why. There is a development-critical relationship between Snoje and Ben Kenobi (I can't remember his bad guy name!). But it's off screen and done in a few sentences. That's okay for minor characters, but not good enough if you want pay off from Snoke 's demise.

No stories but loving everyone's work on this thread.

I've had a beer so I'm gonna say it.

You are scojo and I claim my £5

So, I backed this.

Problem is I played 3 like I'm playing 4: skulk about until I am ridiculously overpowered, then kill everything and everyone in a homicidal rage.

Oh. Not got to the Constitution quest yet.

I'm battling through Fallout 4 just now on the Xbox. Patched at 4K it's pretty damn... pretty.

Just hit 100 hour on it. Fallout 3, with the expansions, took me about 130 hours and I'm close to wrapping up the last DLC before finishing the main game.

It was (is) exactly like Fallout 3. I mean that as a compliment. I don't understand how anyone can distinguish the two.

Having read an article on the BBC about someone who read their entire Facebook posting history, I was tempted to do the same thing here. I don't have Facebook.

But I quickly formed the view that when I started posting here, I was unmarried, in my early 20s and a pain in the arse. I wouldn't like to meet me then, now.

Ach well, so the origins that wasn't Origins turns out not to be an origins.
