I played a single match yesterday and I turned the system off once it was done with. That was one of the most boring things I've played. I've spent a great deal of time looking for someone to kill and it's bullshit that you have to unlock vehicles, weapons and equipment. God forbid the class system stayed in place and the vehicles are located on the map like the other games.

You wot

The vehicles are all located on the map, you have to go and pick them up and call them in.

Finding them is a bitch and if you do find an icon it takes time to get the vehicle and you can get killed during that period. I ended up getting killed at the last second because of that bullshit. Those icons are a retarded design which makes no sense at all. There's no damn good reason why the vehicles couldn't have been handled in the same way Battlefield has them. BF4 and Hardline don't use icons so why should this game when it's the same shit?

Yeah. It works in battlefield because you can spawn in vehicles from the respawn screen

Is ASPCA an animal charity?

Because if so, I completely agree

Yeah, it's the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Thought so. It shares a bunch of initials with the brit equivalent (RSPCA)

Sandstorm scene seriously blew me away. One of the best cinematic experiences I've ever had.

Pun intended?

It's a planet again.

Dwarf planet*

So what? They lurk other websites to make sure none of their member are making jokes or saying things they don't approve of?

Yep. One of the mods has a big folder of links to posts he doesn't approve of

Are you serious? The dude has way to much time on his hands if he's stalking archive members offsite to monitor and archive their posts.

It's a fair few users that did it

It was quite funny because they get genuinely angry when people say mean things about them on the internet

Still a superb film. My only complaint was that after watching in 3D at the cinema, watching in 2D on DVD felt a bit underwhelming.

But still a 10/10 would recommend film

It's beautiful

As interesting as NASA's work tends to be, does anyone else question the amount of good it does for us compared to the value we might find in investing in things like bioengineering research? Of course, this might not have been the case in the past, but I wonder if we've extracted most of the direct technological progress from space travel that we can. There are problems that remain to be solved, of course, but I wonder if there aren't more lucrative opportunities we could address now.

Absolutely not. Space travel is one of the biggest contributors to science and technology as it forces us to try and make everything as powerful as possible while keeping averything as small as possible.

And besides, space travel is the only way to ensure survival of the human race with some tangible meaning. Because there's really not much to do right now if some big space rock comes to  play.

It's just called 'Internet'

Well, I spoke with Cheat, and well, the default Android browser is out of date. You should, and anyone else with browsing issues should use the more maintained Chrome, Firefox or Opera instead. Some problems will go away, some others are Sep7agon ones that I am working on at the moment.

Yeah. I got chrome after posting this thread and it's been working fine since

I mean, if we want to go by the "new canon", the fact that EA Battlefront is a Disney-Star Wars licensed product makes it a part of the new story. So if there are female stormtroopers on Hoth... well, there are female stormtroopers on Hoth.

I'd like to be able to provide other instances of support to that claim, but ad you may remember, they didn't really have any stormtrooper slice of life scenes in the OT. Meaning that anything that support the fact that female stormtroopers on Hoth isn't an asspull isn't canon now.

the thing is, i don't think they're gonna spend the effort of giving out an entirely new justification for their existence, you know what i mean

so like

i think it would be fair to assume you could use the EU legends as a platform for foundation/speculation
maybe

like, they've already taken elements from the EU already, right
kylo-ren's lightsaber isn't anything new if you've played one of those silly EU games, right

According to Disney, everything under the Legends brand is considered to be a pseudo-canon account; things happened vaguely the way described, but like folklore, the exact elements of the stories aren't true.

I think the general rule is that if it's pre ROTJ and it doesn't contradict anything done later, it's fine. But if something released later contradicts it, the new stuff is canon.

I don't have an issue as long as this doesn't escalate into something worse.

And the profits of this system somehow benefit us all.

It doeen't benefit anyone. It's not like Halo 5 or Mass Effect 3 or Battlefield 4 where microtransaction content is fuelling free dlc in the form of maps and weapons and such. Bungie is using this to make a quick buck on top of the overpriced dlc that is mandatory if you want to have a somewhat decent experience with the game.

Get an iPhone

I'm usually on one but I left it at a friend's so I won't be getting it back for a couple days

The navigation bar doesn't display correctly and hasn't for a while now (since before my username was long) so it's difficult to navigate across different boards

Halo Broken Circle is a particularly good book

The Martian
World War Z
Star Wars Republic Commando

I'm more concerned about what happened to postman pat
