The Invested Beard

Originating from Ebenezer Scrooge.

Plus the Imperial senate was technically still a thing at this point so yeah, keeping PR handled was definitely something that they would have been trying to do. It wasn't until ANH that the senate was disbanded and they didn't really have to care about what anyone thought.

The cameos to me made a lot of sense. Everyone that had a cameo would have been involved and needed to be shown. Bail Organa was part of the rebellion from the start. It would have been weird for him not to have been there helping make decisions. There's no way Red and Gold leaders would have sat out such an important mission. C3-PO and R2-D2 were definitely on the Tantive IV in ANH so why not show them with the rebellion? Tarkin was basically the highest ranking officer in the Empire. Not only would he have wanted to be personally involved in the progress of their most important weapon, he was in charge of the thing in ANH, so it's nice they explained how the lead up to that worked. I think if you just kind of let yourself get caught up in the feels it's easier to let the movie entertain you and carry you along. Just my 2 cents.

Loved it loved it loved it. Glad everyone died. That's really the only way to explain their absence from Episode 4 without it feeling shoehorned. Vader carnage at the end really worked and really helped to show why he was so feared as this unstoppable force. I really liked the Guardians of the Whills characters and loved that they incorporated Kyber Crystals into the whole thing, keeping old canon fresh. CGI characters weren't distracting enough to really pull me out of the story and served a really good purpose. I want to watch it again right now.

I've tried a couple and like I said, the port wasn't that great. I've heard the 7 port is good, but they have a pretty bad track record. Plus I want the new and shiny one.

As a PC gamer and old school FF fan, I am severely depressed that Square has never done a good PC port and thus I will probably never get to experience FF15.

Been playing Smite and Elder Scrolls Online lately. Both are really good, although ESO I feel like is missing something when it comes to the online MMO aspect, but it looks and feels like an Elder Scrolls game so I'm good with it.

Fair to Midland - Arrows and Anchors.

Vanisher. That explains why I haven't been posting much.

Sure, why not?

You know what's the worst thing about this release date? How close it is to Christmas. My wife has put a strict "no buying anything you like" hold on me so she has Christmas present ideas. And of course one of those things is Arcanum Unbounded. This could end badly for our relationship.

I think it's important to note here that she used the present tense ("you'll find", "both being") when referring to Yolen. This is 100% confirmation that Yolen is still around.

So someone on io9 threw this one out there: Millie Bobby Brown from Stranger Things as Vin. She's a bit young now, but by the time they actually get around to filming? PERFECT!

It's from the Reddit post that was linked. Here's the quote:

This is awesome. So even Brandon thinks Mistborn will probably come first, that's good.

Wow this is exciting stuff. I knew it was inevitable, but it's cool to see it's finally happening. Here's hoping they can break the book-to-movie-not-so-good curse.

Every month is a no shave month for me.

Totally a valid answer.

Yes, but the oath that bonds is more along the lines of the alternative use of the word. Time to start cussing like a sailor.

Words that end in an S when marked as possessive are simply marked with an apostrophe. I'm sure there's an exception, but that's the prevalent rule.

My sincere condolences.

I'll see what I can do. He's a bit unpredictable.

Dress pants that have pockets that just drop all your crap out of them the second you sit down. Over. And. Over.

As a beard I can confirm that we are usually attracted to older faces. We find older humans more inclined to thoughtful stroking, which we enjoy immensely. There are those beardspren who do attach themselves to younger humans, but they run the risk of significantly shortening their lifespan as the human may tire of them before truly learning to appreciate them.
