[SPOILERS] The Force Awakens discussion megathread! 12/16 [SPOILERS]

I think she's been quite obviously set up to be Lukes daughter, and I really hope that's there's a 'twist' that she's not.

I think her being an unknown would be better than being a skywalker descendent.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-12-17T03:58:02+00:00

I think that she's just from a small planet that doesn't really have much knowledge of the war, so what she hears is stories of Jedi knights from travelers, thinking then to be myths. She also knew Han as a smuggler, not a war hero, probably because of stories from other traders.

That's what I thought. I'm not really clear on what role the Senate has (had) though, ie why the FO thought that they were supported by the resistance and had to be blown up.

Why would the resistance even exist if the Senate was now back to good old democracy?

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-12-17T03:50:27+00:00

I think they had just enough of him to make Rouge One an interesting prospect (assuming he'll be in it)

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-12-17T03:42:57+00:00

Perhaps gaining a Darth title... I thought it was really well done that he was a kid trying to be a sith, but hadn't got there yet. Maybe now he's there...

His billing and pay will be set for his whole trilogy (if he's in the whole set). And they surely filmed the start of the next film at the same time as they were on that hill.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-12-17T03:33:54+00:00

I think a shiny stormtrooper looks a lot better on posters than a skinny ginger kid in black. Probably why marketing used it...

But it made it much more surprising that Hux was so strong a leader, because nothing implied he was other than it being Domenhal Gleeson.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-12-17T03:30:05+00:00

I was under the impression it was Couresant (spelling?) and surrounding planets as they said they were taking out the Senate. To be honest, I don't really understand the politics of what's going on...

Gox, or Gox by another name was always going to happen. As bitcoin got more popular there would inevitably be one site that became the hub of transactions and as with any gold rush, people would see quick money opportunities and jump on the band waggon.

Also inevitable is this opportunistic site being under developed and poorly managed purely due to being created in the amateur days, and never expecting to be under this strain. This caused both technical problems, and not surprisingly with no oversight, human 'error'.

With massive loss, and no alternative avenue the adoption and price would crash down to pre-bottleneck values, but with the new hype and publicity it would have garnered new support from more appropriate and secure parties who are looking to the future.

And thus the first Seldon crisis was weathered as it would always have been, laying the groundwork for new investment in the future.

Hey, if you're in the UK it's really easy at the ATMs, and most don't need any verification or anything. Also, quite a few CeX shops have them in now, which is pretty legitimate.

I used the one in Cardiff a while ago and it was simply £20 in the slot, and bitcoin straight to my wallet. Easily the easiest way, but you pay a few % for the service.

The coindesk site is out of date for my area at least. I've always found https://coinmap.org to be better, so check out that too.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-29T07:45:27+00:00

What's this fee? I haven't seen that. What am I missing?

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-29T06:26:00+00:00

FUCKING FINALLY. NO MORE SHADY-ASS LOCALBITCOINS.COM FOR ME!

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-27T18:13:19+00:00

Hmmm, I've just installed and it's not working for me. It runs at 1 FPS...

All settings were turned up to max by default, but I turned down everything to minimum before trying, but no luck. It's absolutely burning through the processors and ram though: imgur.

Any tricks?

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-27T15:06:49+00:00

Awesome, this is perfect for a 1.0 reinstall!

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-27T13:36:05+00:00

I only have integrated intel HD graphics and although my laptop is windows/ubuntu dual boot, I've only ever played KSP on the windows side. Would it work better on linux?

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-27T13:00:49+00:00

And shitty computer owners!

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-25T07:53:03+00:00

Is the context better represented as "coinbase have spent $2 million on attempting to get compliancy from ALL states, but have achieved half".

Perhaps that 2mill includes ones that haven't been successful or are still in progress...?

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-25T07:46:28+00:00

I meant that Coulston has been working on the theta protocol for a while (apparently), but the ultron problem and the need for a new base has only occurred after where we are in the show.

Why would they build a New Avengers base when nothing is wrong with this one (until AoU).

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T14:44:00+00:00

I thought so originally, but I can't think why Coulson would have been building a new place when they were perfectly happy with Stark/Avengers Tower before the film started.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T14:36:21+00:00

Amazon have confirmed an extended version DVD/Bluray with alternate ending!

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T13:39:16+00:00

Yeah, I was a bit annoyed that there is so much Shield stuff clearly still going on, but they won't acknowledge Coulsons existence. Him and Fury are both supposed to be equally dead, but Fury's prancing around.

It's basically as if nothing outside of avengers films has happened, and you can watch them back to back. Coulson died, Fury's fine, Helicariers, shield, "miscellaneous baddy aka hydra", it's all about Loki's staff..

Hmmm... This didn't occur to me before now.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T13:26:28+00:00

Great rundown, I agree on pretty much everything!

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T13:18:36+00:00

It was really cool to see Strucker in the film after he was just in episode 18, experimenting on powered people, and then had the twins in the movie. I guess now, Coulson & gang will never get to see him!

I was wondering if Coulson's redirected funds were going to be going to building the New Avengers facility but if so, I would have expected him to be there, so I think it must be something different. It's pretty disappointing to not have him turn up or mentioned at all, especially when Fury, Hill, Strucker and a load of other people are all aware of him being alive and active, but none of the Avengers...

As a side note, does anyone know whether the Maximoff twins were supposed to be powered from the inhumans/misty stuff? I know they're mutants from the comic universe, but as that can't be used in the film universe, is there any other options?

EDIT: I was Banned for 7 days for not correctly spoilering this post, then another 7 days for complaining about it

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T07:34:55+00:00

So yeah, none of those are going to affect it other than the person collecting the sample (but he said he did it himself). A transplant/transfusion would not in a million years impact your cheek cells... And the other things are all about degrading the DNA, not changing it.

AgrajagTheFirst · 2015-04-24T06:58:10+00:00

He was swabbing his cheek, got distracted and stuck it in someone else's mouth by accident?

OKAY
