So, the most common response I've heard re: The Force Awakens is "It's like the original trilogy."

Without spoiling anything, is that true? Yes/No will do. Or, I'unno, sliding scale of similarity?

And meanwhile in china.
OH CHINA! How we love you.
Maybe the whole thing is a hoax made by western media but the concept is amazing either way.

The other descriptions I've been able to find of it only spund a little more sinister than existing credit report and background check and data aggregation entities.

I obviously don't have much to do with china myself but it looks legit enough. Also even if it's not exactly the thing EC talks about it might be a stepping stone towards a system like that.

Huh I just realized...

One of the major reasons that most games only let you carry two weapons... is likely less that "8 weapons is less realistic"

But because it would force them to make 8 unique weapons that have their own purpose and niche... Instead of about maybe 3 unique weapons with alternate versions.

So I see this headline on Yahoo News.  Let me know if I'm the only one who thinks this sounds weird:

"Despite popularity, pope turns 80 amid criticism"

Found a spider hanging from the ceiling today, poked it, and it started spinning itself around in circles. What kind of defense mechanism is that?

The kind where you're trying to bleed off several times your body weight of momentum because a giant poked you.

my youtube comments and some stuff i've seen on reddit suggests that a lot of people just, uh, don't know that leitmotifs were a big thing way before undertale
like yes undertale has great usage of it, very great
but like
i've seen people complain about it, accuse it of being lazy
i really want to do a few leitmotif videos for, like, final fantasy X or something, like one for suteki da ne and one for to zanarkand etc.
just to be like
"dude undertale didn't invent this"

oh, and at least undertale mostly actually has new pieces of music for different situations, how many times does organization XIII or sora's theme show up in kingdom hearts goddamn

No, it was self-propelling. I thought that too at first but I barely touched it and its movement wasn't damping at all.

They do that a lot, for some reason. Just start spinning like crazy whenever they get nervous. I really do wonder what its purpose is.

It's harder for something to kill you if you're moving really fast in a random pattern, perhaps?

Last game that really did it well was half-life 2, as far as I can remember. Which makes sense, HL2 did everything fucking well.

There were quite a few others that went under the radar.

Edit: Well, except for the ones by 343, I don't know about those.

Edit: Oh, you mean games that did "You can carry ALL THE WEAPONS." I'd somehow forgotten how Half-Life 2 played. :V
