Jay Bauman and Jack Packard are nice counterbalances to the embarrassing worldviews held by Mike Stoklasa and especially Rich Evans, who I assume is still complaining about the new Ghostbusters at this very moment.

Accordion Man posted:But that's a real dumb complaint because its not filling checkboxes. Star Wars has a diverse universe so its not some egregious thing to have a white woman, a black dude, and a Hispanic dude to be the main protagonists. I guess to them it feels like it was done with "it's the popular thing to do nowadays" being the justification, and not because it's the right thing to do in general. To them it demonstrates an air of pushing the medium forward without actually doing it. I don't care enough about it to decide whether I agree with that or not because it's a complex issue and there's a lot to consider, I'm just explaining what I think their position on it is

Love Stole the Day posted:I agree that Trek is better than Wars but god dammit Rogue Squadron was the poo poo. Why does Star Wars always get the good games? I want TellTale to do TNG season 8. since everything is being rebooted nowadays why not because nothing interesting happens in star trek glam rock hamhock posted:Well there was that time that Spike Lee complained that Eastwood WWII movie didn't have any black people in it when there was in fact no black people at the battle. Spike Lee is an idiot tho

Speaking of terrible parenting, one of my ex's named her daughter "Aeris". Why would you impose that on a child. Why.

That is some terrible parenting. Should be Aerith obviously.

Lurdiak posted:Isn't it weird how we never got a Star Wars video game where you play as Luke and run around with a lightsaber. Rebel Strike Actually, the other Rogue Squadrons at least technically have you playing as Luke most of the time, though Strike's the only one with running around with a lightsaber.

Discount Viscount posted:Rebel Strike Yeah I thought of the Rogue Squadron games but still, you're really playing an X-wing in those. Plus those ground missions in Rebel Strike were baaaaaaaaad. I mean I guess it still counts.

Zelda is not even a nerdy name, considering that Zelda Fitzgerald was around decades before the 80's.

Disney Infinity 3 is a recent Star Wars game wherein you can play as Han, Chewy, Leia, or even Luke with a lightsaber but I get why it's been left out. That said, that poo poo's on firesale at the moment, so it's cheap!

Before the games got big, Zelda was an old-fashioned Jewish or east European name. I think it still could work.
