Rey won a lightsaber fight without any training at all. This indicates that she is special and incredibly strong in the force and it begs for an explanation.

The explanation is chewie had just shot kylo ren with his crossbow and he was quite injured. You can even see blood falling out of his suit in several shots.

Star fox Zero for Wii u. Tried it once before when a friend had it. Hated it for its controls.

On a whim bought it to try it out. I love Star fox so I should at least try to master its controls before I pass judgement, right?

And…

This game is fucking awesome. Now I love its controls. When I first played it I think I expected it to be too much like Star fox 64. And I didn’t want motion controls. That was my mistake. It’s not Star fox 64 too and it’s motion controls make the game so much more engrossing once you accept them.

Basically, if you’re familiar with Star fox this will make more sense. You pilot the ship like normal, but you can tilt the game pad and aim just your laser, without changing your ships angle or having to consciously press a button or operate a joystick. And it actually works. Sometimes if you overaim, and with this quick game if you get into it you will, the calibration will get off but all you have to do is hit y and it will recenter at your current position on the fly with no pause so it’s almost a non issue. It will feel weird at first, but then a little switch will click in your brain and suddenly it will make sense and feel natural. You can look at the game pad screen and have cockpit view too which is nice too. And you can switch that as well. This game is very immersive.

I’ve heard it’s criminally short though, so we’ll see. I hope not coz it’s so fun.

Just watched Star Wars with my girlfriend for the first time. She loved it. Remarkably not only has she never seen it but also knows nothing about it, not even the characters or story or themes. It’s such an amazing experience getting to watch it with somebody that is experiencing it with new unspoiled eyes and ears. Like she doesn’t even know that

SPOILER

darth Vader is Luke’s father =)

so she’s gonna be thrown for a loop in the next one and I can’t wait to see her reaction.

She loves it. I had to make her promise not to Google the next one. This is an experience I honestly thought I would never get to have unless it was with a child. Never thought I would get to do this with an adult. I mean sure plenty of adults haven’t seen it but few don’t know at least some of the story bits.

Two 19s put together still isn’t very old warb. I’ve known plenty of people in their 40s that still have an active romantic life that haven’t been married for a long time. It’s all mindset bud. It’s more than trying, but not a ton more than mindset. I’m not saying you can win over any girl just with personality and self confidence, but if you keep trying AND you have a good personality you will eventually win. And how you present yourself is a big factor too, much larger than your natural appearance. Women aren’t as superficial on the whole as men in my experience. Obviously there are exceptions and everybody likes eye candy but as far as real interactions go, I’d say an ugly man who is dressed well has a much better chance than a handsome slob.

Damn, I’m an ugly slob.

Well, one of those things is a choice, so don’t expect a ton of sympathy.

May I ask how old you are?

Well ok then. Point is it’s kind of silly to say you’re doomed to be alone forever at any point, but especially if you’re like 19.

With that said I have no idea how old you are, hence the question.

I seem to to recall that Handman’s in his early twenties.

I don’t see that changing soon.

That… Is why you fail.
