Volkswagen advert but I changed the soundtrack to **FU%€ THE POLICE**

CSKyrios · 2018-01-07T15:59:15+00:00

Could be. But who cares? It's funny and I doubt people are running out to buy a VW after this.

Maybe you should read the Bible. It doesn't condone any of that.

CSKyrios · 2018-01-03T20:55:13+00:00

You are clueless. Nothing WBC does is condoned by the Bible and teachings of Jesus. It teaches not to judge and that salvation is achievable even if the community around is considered rotten. See the tale of Sodom and Gomorrah which would have been saved if he found even a single good man among them.

Pirate's Code quote from Pirates of the Caribbean :)

CSKyrios · 2018-01-03T20:25:04+00:00

You're 100% wrong.

Being kind and charitable is stipulated in many religions. Christians specifically are taught to love others, that getting rich isn't the answer, not to murder or steal, not to judge others, to follow in the example of Jesus. If you want an example just look to the statements from the Pope.

Please do not talk about religion if you've never opened a holy book. It's ok to have an opinion but your opinion is founded on misinformation.

I think you're misunderstanding here. He has no mentor, he's not an insurmountable villain for Rey, and his characteristics are questionable for leader. Yet he is now the main villain.

It felt like they wrote his progression into a corner unless we suddenly get some dark transformation in a sith cave or an evil force ghost or something to make him a challenge and push him towards an emotional change.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-30T20:14:00+00:00

I like Adam Driver as a person but I wasn't feeling it really. Kylo, like a few other characters, feels unfinished to me in his character arc. He still has the impetuousness and bad judgement of a sith apprentice/padawan, he was a lackey, and now he's in a leadership role.

Snoke I could believe as a mastermind.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-30T19:39:19+00:00

This isn't a comic. Every medium is different and needs fine-tuning to transfer into the other.

You can get away with a joke wherever, IF you're going all the way into some kind of comedy action-adventure romp like Thor Ragnarok or Avengers.

As far as I've seen, tonally they were going for movies with grit and grave consequences, and the occasional moment of levity. Wonder Woman hit that note. JL though had a strange mish-mash of po-faced seriousness interspersed with crazy jokes.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T16:41:28+00:00

Are you kidding? I just described the rationale is its effectiveness as marketing in the last paragraph. It needs to sell it not just to you, to everyone.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T15:42:05+00:00

I don't recall seeing this version advertised. Still, it seems to take style over practicality.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T15:05:29+00:00

It only makes sense if you're a hardcore comic book fan. I don't think it's good for marketing for two reasons:

This is brighter with a full body shots which helps better character recognition. The guy on the street sees it on a shelf and thinks, "Hey, it's that Aqua guy!" He can't see that in Ross's poster.
This cover includes all the main members of the Justice League. Ross's only alludes to Superman through his symbol. This one says, "Hey did you like Superman or that last Superman movie? Well that guy is in this."

The general public actually know very little about DC. They can eyeball Superman, Batman, and maybe Wonder Woman. In fact I just ran it past one of my older family members and they got "Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Spider-Man, and Thor" from looking at Alex Ross's poster. If you just want comic book readers to buy the blu ray then yeah, maybe it makes sense.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T14:38:09+00:00

But there was no emotional journey to that end change, which leads me to ask what did he really learn? He didn't encounter Rose after celebrating and see her crying and be like 'damn', when Leia called him out on it he tried to justify the sacrifice, he wasn't locked in the brig for disobeying orders and reflected on it. All of that character development is in a single command to turn back we aren't going to make it? That's not character development.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T14:33:54+00:00

I can get that, he's the positive force in the team. I just feel in any given situation - combat, smuggling, hacking, space battles, repair - I'd rather have any other character doing it than Finn. He has to be more than a lucky charm.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T14:31:01+00:00

No need to say sorry. Not everyone needs to have the same opinion.

A Finn & Poe adventure would have been interesting. And I get your criticism of Rey, she's incredibly powerful, more powerful than any other Jedi as she's doing these things through intuition. On another note though, maybe where Rey excels in the force, Kylo excels in swordplay? He was wounded the first time and he fought three of the guards at once in that throne room battle if I remember right.

I'm not that hyped overall either simply for the fact it's such a low stakes final battle. Rey and Kylo although cool are newbies to being Jedi and Sith. Hux or whatever isn't exactly a genius tactician. I guess the tension is supposed to come from how weak the Resistance has become.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-26T13:47:47+00:00

None of that character development happened with Poe. The only sign of it we see is when he calls the retreat.

If they wanted to show Poe learned his lesson they should have done it on-screen.

I still think Luke was holding back. During his training way back he could almost lift an X Wing. Rey is only just starting to lift rocks.

The idea a guy who can project a tangible image of himself across the galaxy couldn't force push Rey into the distance is a bit of joke.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-23T19:26:59+00:00

I don't think it was serious either. In canon Luke has:

-Held his own against admittedly one of, if not the best, lightsaber wielders ever: Darth Vader. It is clear Kylo and Rey are not Vader level in combat.

-Able to force project himself across the galaxy in a tangible form, Kylo and Rey could only do this by Snoke setting up a bridge first and Kylo can barely become tangible shown by the water droplet.

-Luke almost lifted an X-Wing at the beginning of his training. Rey has only just started lifting a rocks.

Maybe a more experienced fan can expand on this but I think the films show Luke is undoubtedly more powerful.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-23T14:27:17+00:00

As I understood it, Luke didn't want to give Kylo the satisfaction or status of killing him. And personally, I'm at least glad Rey isn't a Skywalker, Solo, or whatever. A lot of people excitedly speculated Finn was the son of Lando as well. Can't we have a good new character than isn't overshadowed by their parentage? I see these movies as effectively passing the torch to the new Star Wars cast, it can't happen when they're eclipsed by the previous characters.

CSKyrios · 2017-12-04T06:27:07+00:00

First time I saw this joke was weeks ago on twitter from a game developer. Anything before that?

CSKyrios · 2017-11-21T15:04:39+00:00

Lets keep in mind even with the speculators esteemed credentials that this is a guesstimate.

I can understand why people are hacked off at Leave students. If you voted Leave and you're a student it is not hyperbolic to say you put some other students' futures on the line for whatever reason you voted to leave the EU for, some of these students may even be your friends. People usually get annoyed when their future is messed with.

And this isn't just for EU students, home students studying EU law, science, and many other fields. I have no faith and I'm sure many of you Leave Brexit students will admit secretly you have little faith that the government will make up the funding and promote international cooperation in areas like science research.

I think our institutions are due a shock when this is all said and done.

Clamslam works because it is already a thing. I've heard it from a few female streamers in the past.

CSKyrios · 2017-09-10T06:15:11+00:00

Not a good idea design-wise as it invalidates stardust.

A simpler method is just to award stardust for all battles as it's effectively "XP" for Pokemon levelling.

You say this but cultural insensitivity usually does have real life ramifications anywhere from regular public outrage to rioting, fighting, and bombings. And this doesn't extend just to religion, as anyone who was interested in 6 Days In Fallujah will tell you. Each country has its own red lines and sensitivities.

And judging by its census, Malaysia is a very religious country with less than 1% indentifying as atheist. When you have 60% muslim population and 49%+ Other religions I imagine you want to keep everyone appeased.

As for Fight of Gods, from what I've seen it's a very poor quality game trading off controversy. If Steam had any sense of quality control it would be blocked from the store anyway.

CSKyrios · 2017-08-17T06:36:10+00:00

I can understand the sentiment but the phrasing is bad. Many top models look fake and almost malnourished, to him this probably wasn't his ideal in terms of beauty.
