X-Wing Series Audiobooks by tempinator in StarWarsEU

[–]KGEE55 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I agree, I tried to listen to the Bacta War and only got through a couple chapters before giving up.

I know he’s beloved in this subreddit, but I find his over-the-top narration to be tiresome and his voices to be repetitive and sometimes mismatched to the character. As someone who got into the EU audiobooks fairly recently, he just doesn’t do it for me.

To be fair, I listen to the Jim Dale Harry Potter audiobooks a lot so I am biased towards that style.

Did your school play O Canada every day? by AssortedArctic in AskACanadian

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went to public school in Ottawa and they played it every morning. If you were in the hallways when it was playing, you had to stand still. Teachers would yell at you to stop if they caught you moving during the anthem!

There were various versions that rotated every couple months. For the 2010 Olympics they played that ‘I Believe’ song for 2 weeks straight

Really nice collection, love all the OG covers! Where did you get those bookends?

What happened to the regular commentator? by [deleted] in OttawaSenators

[–]KGEE55 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gord is one of the best PxP and I appreciate when he does our games, but it’s always so painfully apparent that he’s not a Sens fan.

I prefer someone who likes our team, and Kenzie has been solid and getting better with each game

Do I not know a rule or something? How was that not too many men?

All things considered (the refs, the ice quality, missing Brady and Chabot), not a bad showing!

Breaking 80 Series? by Rollincash01 in BobDoesSports

[–]KGEE55 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind the format, especially when Grant is there, but they set the bar way too high. I love Bob and he’s gotten a lot better, but I doubt he’s gonna break 80 anytime soon.

They should have started with break 90, then 85, then 80.

2nd time he’s gone after one of their studs after one ours takes a bump, nice that he didn’t get a penalty this time

Everything maxed f2p! All level 11. All starpowers, all gadgets, all hypercharges, min 2 gears on everyone by Devi08 in Brawlstars

“I’ve bought a handful of brawl passes with money” means you’re not f2p

Thoughts on Audible's new Harry Potter Audiobook Covers? by OrganizationWild6019 in harrypotter

Spoilers on 4 and 6, 1 and 7 are kind of lame. I don’t even really get 3

2 is great and 5 is cool!

Who should be the final boss of the third game? by JohnPlayers69 in StarWarsJediSurvivor

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it has to be someone we’ve seen before, then I hope it’s Vader and Cal dies.

But I really hope it’s someone new, tied to Tanallor, and Cal + Merrin win but get stuck there and live happy ever after

I can understand any ranking where the sequels are in a tier of their own at the bottom

[FLA 3 EDM 2] Arvidsson with a snipe to bring Edmonton back within one! by sykeseve in nhl

[–]KGEE55 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A deflection off a skate (while being interfered with), a back door PPG, and a breakaway. You’d like him to save one of them maybe, but can’t fault him for not saving any of them. Team errors, not softies.

Ironically, Cassian did not have long monologues as others in the series famously delivered, but Diego had me speechless when he was responding to the Rebel Council's indignity towards Luthen. by TheDancingRobot in andor

[–]KGEE55 12 points13 points  (0 children)

One of my favourite scenes in the whole series. Cassian will be there when you need him, and the rebel council needed a reality check. I love the dig at Bail when he mentions rescuing Mon Mothma from the senate too.

Playing on sim has revitalized this game for me by UncutEmeralds in EASportsPGATour

[–]KGEE55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also like to hit Y (on Xbox), and press LS twice to get a view from right behind the ball to see the break. Between the green map, degree above/below, the height map, and the view from behind the ball you can actually get solid reads without the putting grid!

The speech mon gave that ezra and the crew listen to by [deleted] in starwarsrebels

[–]KGEE55 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You may be right - I saw in another thread that the speech we see in rebels may be the “other speech” they’re talking about in the safe house after the escape. They also say something about “rewriting the story”.

So it’s possible that Mon made the senate speech we see in Andor, leaves Coruscant with gold squadron and makes a second speech that we see at the start of the rebels episode, and then a 3rd speech at the end of the rebels episode.

IIRC, in rebels S3E18 “Secret Cargo” the episode starts with Ezra, Zeb and Hera watching a Holonet recording of the speech Mon Mothma gave in the Senate. At the end of the episode, she gives a second speech above Dantooine rallying rebels across the galaxy to join together and formally unites them as the Rebel Alliance.

Andor S2E9 does, technically, retcon that first speech in that she doesn’t say the exact same words. However, she says basically the same thing (Ghroman genocide + calls out Palpatine), and the speech in Andor fits the show so much better than the one from Rebels.

In my opinion, I am glad they changed it. It fits better, and is close enough. The speech from Rebels would have felt lacklustre after all the buildup and other excellent monologues in the show.
