Admiral of Awesome

Did you use his real name, or the alias he used when he was hiding from the man?

My favorite part of the new movies was when Han and Leia named a kid after the nickname of some customer Han knew for 3 hours and Leia had never met.

still more fun to build than the UCS millennium falcon.

26% YoY holiday sales falloff, despite ~4% growth in overall US holiday spending.

Theres just not that much of a step up in single threaded performance from the 6700k available, fgr. Intels 10-series is essentially the same chip.

Games are each their own hyper-janky special little snowflakes, so what exactlys going wrong with BF (and what to do about it) isn’t going to be the...

Pretty brave of them to renormalize their timeline around a movie that nobody will remember in 5 years.

Don’t cheer too loud, wookie.

Iran started it when they nationalized their oil industry, 60 years of war cold and hot is a small price to pay for the inconvenience suffered by...

I’m not discussing future values at all. The current value is $0 because so far it’s been a hard flop. Maybe it’s turned around like you say. We...

Those numbers don't include marketing, promotion, or other overhead. But it also doesn't include merchandising. Mostly because none of those numbers...

Event Cost (m) Revenue (m) Profit Acquisition $4,050.00 $0.00 -$4,050.00 Galaxy’s Edge CA $1,000.00 $0.00 -$1,000.00 Galaxy’s Edge...

I feel like at this point, if you want to be competitive in the indie space you need a game type that Unreal Engine and Unity are **** for.

Also the platform in a more general sense, like the hardware design. The Switch has a screen and attached controls for pure mobile gaming! And it...

OT merch is still a successful category despite NT/PT headwinds, so I don’t think it’s a change in the times so much as that Lucasfilm mismanaged the...

Sure, but that’s not saying much. Planning is really about communication. If you only have one author (like the prequels) then you have a much lower...

Gotta fix those date formatting bugs, wouldn’t want an airman to burst a synapse trying to figure out what the year 19100 is.

Kathleen Kennedy was George Lucas’s protege, and she’s running the company the exact same way Lucas did; they never planned the previous trilogies...

Disney-era Star Wars toys haven’t been selling and licensees had no reason to think The Mandalorian would be different. I guess Disney could have...

For every nice word I have for the Switch software library, I have about 20 mean ones to say about the Switch platform. What a train wreck.

At 144 Hz each in-game frame will be rendered 3 times, so there shouldn’t be any judder. But the game is still running at 48 FPS internally.

The simulation timestep is 1/48th of a second. JK doesn't interpolate between frames, so rendering faster than that effectively duplicates frames....

48 FPS is the engine cap, so if you’re reliably getting that framerate you aren’t missing much anyway.

The entertainment press is just desperate to blame anything except the creators. They rated TLJ high because of Disney pressure, and handwaved away...

Ive heard that complaint over and over again and it makes no sense to me. What we have here is a high-budget episodic science fiction adaptation of...

Nerd alert. Tatooine isn’t really a backwater, per se. It’s more like a truck stop. There’s nothing of value there but it sits at the intersection...

Or maybe George Lucas’s problem is that he wasn’t good enough technically to tell the good story he wanted to tell, and the base amateurs who made...

Yes.
