Isn't Emily Rogers known as a completely unreliable "leaker"?

I still don't believe having a plan from the get go is the be-all-end-all of making a good trilogy, but in this instance, seeing how it ended on such a mess, yeah maybe. Or just not hire back JJ as director for IX, or hell not even for VII since I always felt ge was the most obvious, safest choice, and I say that even though I liked The Force Awakens!

That's what happens when instead of releasing a new Elder Scrolls game you just keep re-releasing Skyrim five times. Same thing will happen with GTA V compared to past games. At least we know TESVI is coming.

Please for once let something come from this.

Isn't there a Lando series in development? I'd go for a Solo sequel if there weren't production issues like with the first one. There were a few plot threads they could continue either with a sequel or spin off to their own things; Lando, the proto-rebels, obviously whatever was going on with Qi'ra and Maul.

I was going to wait until the summer to buy this game, but damn seeing people play it makes me want to start playing it now. Must. Wait. Until. Steam. Summer. Sale.

Oh...so not a comedy then... Well this should be interesting.

We have to hear more about the sequel to Breath of the Wild this year, and not just, "the team is working hard, and it's coming along nicely", I mean some actual solid details, with new footage. Possibly even the actual title of it. I doubt we'll see more about the next Mass Effect but I'd love to be proven wrong. I think that game is a handful of years away.

MIPA?

Basically don't pick the middle dialogue option. That's the neutral option and often doesn't lead anywere. You should really only pick it if you're trying to avoid getting either paragon or renegade points.

I've heard of that, though haven't seen it myself. I'm sure it's either a simple explanation, or a trolling/fake video.

Who do you think you are, SFLUFAN?! I'm most thankful for my girlfriend who I miss very much right now having to be in lockdown.

No Shrek reference this week. Also that "I was gonna say" joke was solid. His stand up roots coming through.

Weird I had never seen that before, especially when everything about his appearance, especially his clothing screams Middle Eastern. Was that a retcon? I see the book came out in the 90s, so it's not like they changed him from Middle Eastern for a post-9/11 world to not have an Arabic leader of a terrorist organisation, and yet another Brown skinned bad guy. The pronunciation of his name is weird too since in Arabic it is indeed supposed to be "Rawz", but his creator Dennis O'Neil says it's pronounced as "Raysh" for some reason. His only appearance where he looked more Eastern Asian was in the Arkham games.

Ra's is Arabic. His name translates as "head of the demon". I get Nolan wanted it to be a twist, i.e. "surprise Liam Neeson is the bad guy", but yeah it's whitewashing. Unfortunately he whitewashed Bane as well who is supposed to be Hispanic. The thing WB was afraid of pissing China off with in The Dark Knight was Lau having control of the police in Hong Kong, so they never even released The Dark Knight in China.

Damn that show was good, and ended too soon.

Mordo states that she's Celtic. I understand that Marvel didn't want to use such a tired ethnic clichéd stereotype (and potentially piss off China since in the comics The Ancient One is Tibetan), but they could have handled it better. Change the character to a woman, yes, but maybe not a White woman, get a woman of colour rather than whitewashing the role.

JK I only just remembered about this

Something small like that sure, but I'm talking about things like, "well you gotta buy this stock, and get shares in this company, and that company, then buy this land, this property, and don't forget to earn enough so you can then buy this company and merge it into your own, and all this so you can triple your wealth", but I'm already rich enough. Again for people like you and I, or even the lesser millionaires, of course it makes sense to grow the wealth, but for people who already have 57 billion dollars? 108 billion dollars? Nearly 200 billion dollars?! It's just pure greed at that point. Like if I won the lottery and got $60 million, do I really need to invest it in order to grow it and double it? Why can't I just take the winnings, and simply enjoy the rest of my life of luxury spending it on the things I want? Why take any unnecessary risks trying to turn it into 247 million dollars? Think of it this way, if I gave you a lifetime supply of toilet paper would you really feel the need to go out and buy more at Costco when they have a sale? How much do you wipe your ass that a literal lifetime supply wouldn't cover you? That's what these people are doing; they have more money than they will possibly ever need, and yet all they do with it is use it to get even richer at the expense of everyone else. Bezos wants to become the world's first trillionaire. Why? Just so that he could say he did it?!

There's a point where you have to ask them when is enough money enough. Watching The Office last year there is a line Cathy Bates says to Dwight when he gets a bunch of money along the lines of the smart thing to do with money is to invest it to get more. Sure yeah, if you come into a bit of money, like the average person, Hell even for "less rich" people that earn $3 million, but let's say I somehow came up with $270 million. Why do I need to invest it at that point? Why not just go, "nah I'm good" and just spend it to enjoy it? I have more than I'll ever really need, and yeah I could put half of it away for my family, and still have enough to enjoy life, so really why do I need to invest it in stocks, property, etc. to grow it and make more? That's a paltry amount compared to the likes of Bezos, Musk, Gates, or oil tycoon who have hundreds of billions of dollars in assets, and still are trying to get more. It's like they think of life as an arcade game and the dollars are the high score. If I had billions of dollars I'd be buying myself luxury items, trips, experiences, sure, but I'd also be giving back by investing in things to help end world problems like hunger, clean water, climate change, etc. I also wouldn't be exploiting my workers, and I'd allow them to unionize and have good wages. Now I know some would say, "well if you did that then you wouldn't be a billionaire" and well if you can't become a billionaire without exploiting others, THEN YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE A BILLIONAIRE!

Metroid Prime 4!

OK we need to put this to a test. Everyone procure me enough money to become a billionaire, not a huge amount, maybe just 2 or 3 billion dollars, and after your donations to me we'll see if I become a monster, or stay as your humble, lovable Brick.

Oh some of them know, but they disingenuously use it as a weapon against Brie Larson, i.e., "Brie Larson is taking a role that should be going to a POC!".

Yup vanguard is a great choice since you'll get some of the combat skills from soldier, but also get biotic skills to have fun with. In the second and third game each class gets their own unique power too, and with vanguard you'll get the ability to use a biotic rush to basically turn yourself into the Flash and slam into your opponents. Pair that with a shotgun and you can rush up to them, go, "HI! Bye, bye!" before blasting them in the face harder than a male porn star on a new girl getting her first money shot.

That's why I mentioned it! She probably didn't exploit anyone to get her wealth like Bezos and Musk do by not allowing unions and overworking people with low wages, but on a personal level it turns out she's kind of shit. Maybe George Lucas? Made Star Wars, earned billions, gave back to charity, pissed off his rich neighbours by building affordable housing, created one of the most successful independent film companies employing many talented people before selling it to Disney so he could enjoy retirement. (In before someone makes a joke, "yeah but he ruined my childhood with the prequels")
