BREAKING: The United States has seized a third oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela.
This is blatant piracy.
The US must release the tanker and cease its dangerous blockade in the Caribbean.

Probably due to Rian being so incredibly based
THE LAST JEDI had maybe the least troubled production of any of the SW films and somehow it remains the only film whose plot was not completely leaked ahead of time.

Honestly I think the biggest post-internet development was torrenting, and the corporate giants basically all got together more or less to squash it, and have basically been trying to "replicate" what it does, but in a way that's profitable and/or controlled by them since. 1/14

The Jedi games, Outlaws, and now Fate of the Old Republic have musical themes that use the exact same musical phrase and Im kind of sick of it. I rolled my eyes when I first heard the music in Outlaws but let it pass. But now a third thing that had the exact same tune is just ridiculous lol

In positive news, tonight has been awesome for every gamer who likes Star Wars.
Fate of the Old Republic and Galactic Racer? Are you kidding? Just the other day I was thinking how impossible it has to be today to pitch a SW racing game lol And KOTOR is a reboot! Being wrong feels good sometimes.
