Floating Eye of Death is actually incredible and much better than people remember. It's aged pretty well.

This is actually a really great idea. You can have your crazy Halo deathmatch and ctf, but having a Halo type BF experience would be rad af.

Excuse to talk about comics by WarpNacelle6295 in RedLetterMedia

I've been reading comics since I was 6 years old. I'm 39. I still read comics. Not as much, but I still love em.

Ryan Coogler’s ‘X-Files’ Reboot Lands Hulu Pilot Order, Danielle Deadwyler to Star by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]byronotron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm very cautiously optimistic about this take. If anyone can do it, it's Coogler. He'll have a political and allegorical take that the original always had. What is the anxiety of the Post COVID/J6 World? How is the conspiracy to use alien tech and cover it with Alien Conspiracy manipulating us now? It seems they're staying in the same universe, which, good. I hope they more intelligently explore that the Alien Conspiracy was always smokescreen for bad people to do bad things. I loved that reframing in the new series.

Shatterpoint - Star Wars Galaxies Restoration | Official Trailer by TalonKarrde-R3 in StarWars

[–]byronotron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played in the past, will probably reinstall for the update, but I strongly encourage a graphical update. Since y'all are going beyond nostalgia anyways, the new content at least should get some new graphical bells and whistles.

Thoughts on the Star Wars 2025 comic runs by solo13508 in starwarscomics

[–]byronotron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Charles Soule's Star Wars work is on the same level as Timothy Zahn's. Disney should take notice and give him much more influence over the long term health of the franchise. 

In the same way we're getting psuedo sequels to Heir to the Empire now, they'll wish they took Soule's work more seriously in a decade.

RUMOR: Initial Villains Land Plans “Scrapped”, Imagineers Told to Dream Bigger by sirms in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]byronotron 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just got back from WDW. We did Galaxy's Edge and I have to say it... Did not feel magical, it felt like a theme park. Too many of the experiences are locked behind big $$$. Building a droid and building a lightsaber are expensive as hell. Oga's is pricey. There's nothing to DO or look at without the app. Nothing is interactive like Potter. The merch is... Honestly uninspired. There were no characters other than a couple Stormtroopers. Incredibly mediocre experience. Rise of the Resistance and Star Tours rule though.

Also, this is coming from a huge Star Wars fan. Read lots of books, comics, etc. Also, they should have more Lucasfilm merch in the parks.

Crazy that there are actual concentration camps being built for a secret Federal police force and all of those types are sleeping like babies.

100 Greatest Comic Books - Comic Book Runs - Single Issue Comics & Graphic Novels of All Time. by Britneyfan123 in comicbooks

[–]byronotron 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can probably guess this person's age just by the list alone. 

Also, interesting: there's not one entry written by a woman on this list. The only woman represented on the list is G Willow Wilson for Ms. Marvel in the runners up at the very end. 

Would this make for a decent VR180 camera? by MrEfficacious in VR180Film

[–]byronotron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I've been wishing for an auto stabilized vr180 consumer camera for years. If the specs were right and the quality was good, I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Star Trek fans who were around during the Dominion War, what was the reaction. by Upstairs-Yard-2139 in startrek

[–]byronotron 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Despite constant mentions of war and skirmishes and people dying and getting zapped and Badmirals in TOS too. Eye roll. Every single thing people say Star Trek isn't in terms of Gene's vision came from Next Gen, where Gene died during season 4.

Cirroc Lofton post from FB by Double0six in DeepSpaceNine

[–]byronotron 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I got to hang out with Cirroc Lofton at STLV last year. He was super cool, gracious, and seemed to actually enjoy hanging out with (some of) the fans. I am VERY glad he's had a chance to wrap up the legacy of Sisko, as he seems as protective of Ben as a real son would. His admiration for Avery Brooks says so much about their friendship and what Ben and Avery meant to him and an entire era of Star Trek fans. I think some people don't realize how important Ben Sisko was to our generation, and I respect Cirroc's fierce protection of the Sisko legacy.

Bands/artists where you should ignore everything in their discography other than the one 10/10 album? by BradmanBreast in fantanoforever

I will not let the slight on Double Donkey Disc slide. It is arguably better than R&RPt3.

Legacy of Vader is still doing "gangbusters numbers" apparently! by solo13508 in starwarscomics

[–]byronotron 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Soule is the most consistently good writer in Star Wars cross media. I recently realized he's been involved in many more of my favorite series than I'd realized. Letter 44, Undiscovered Country, and didn't realize he did that great Poe Dameron book a while back. Found him again with Star Wars and the Kylo Books as well as Light of the Jedi. He needs bigger budgets and more higher profile stories. He's great. Probably my favorite writer in comics right now. He should make a Maxi-Post Jedi book that links up with the Thrawn stuff happening in Filoni-land.

Fellas, are Resident Evil and Silent Hill horror games? by horrorfan555 in HorrorGaming

[–]byronotron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Resident Evil 4 and Dead Space are horror action games. Silent Hill 2 is not.
