    Thankfully, watching Return to the Night of the Living Dead when I was four prepared me for Bambi. :p

    I am avoiding the Internet entirely until I see the finale.

    Which is something I would never do for Star Wars now that I know it's owned by Disney, by the way.

    So this was kind of cool. Ran into some folks on my elevator talking about their meetings concerning the future of the EU. It was very enlightening to overhear their conversation.








    The European Union being, of course, a very important world institution.

    Thank the Mouse or JJ or Flying Spaghetti Monster or whomever for the idea that such avoidance may no longer be necessary.

    I don't care who I'm supposed to thank, but the empty echo of the Disney vault makes me ridiculously happy.

    Well, at some point there will be leaks. Unless this whole thing is actually a prank by Lucas and the company was never sold.

    I think the fact that he was forced to do things like that from time to time as the owner of Star Wars is one of the main reasons he sold it.

    I thought he sold it because people pissed all over his true vision the prequels.

    I hope they get Jim Swallow to write the game and any assorted novels like they did last time.

    So, I bit the bullet and dropped coin for AsCreed via Steam. I'll be downloading it over the weekend (4G internet...) and playing it early next week, probably, and I'll get back to everyone with my thoughts. But just the fact that I bought it at all... Hav, Trip, everyone,

    INSIDE SOURCE!

    Conserning either EU, it would be good to know that somebody has a plan.

    It's set in 1758. 1758 is when Halley's Comet first reappeared after Halley had determined that astronomers were observing one reoccurring comet, confirming his prediction of its reappearance. So . . . Halley's Comet will be involved somehow.

    It will be the protagonist, and still have more personality than Desmond.

    All I heard was them saying that the Dutch are annoying, basically.

    Well, Joss Wedon was involved in Cabin in the Woods, so it had a lot more character and depth than your average slasher/gorn schlock.

    FTL Advanced Edition out April 3rd!

    Speaking of which, would you recommend me to get the director's cut of HR ? Like are the changes worth it ?


    AdmiralWesJanson

    QFT, I don't even like horror. But there's a reason why The Thing or Alien are still memorable(and yes besides the special effects/animatronics :p)

    It all depends - the only real changes are (1) upgrading the graphics to the level of the DLC, (2) alterations to the boss fights to make them a bit more equitable and (3) the integration of the DLC directly into the main game. I found it worth it, but then again it was only $5 if you had both the original game and the DLC through Steam.

    Gracias blackmyron :)
    I might hold off to see if anything new interests me. I'm still wrapping up Dishonored. Did anyone outside the US see Winter Soldier ?

    I don't want to hear about people getting to see it before me. :p

    Meanwhile, look at this.
