Oh, of course. Bizarre names are Star Wars tradition. If the writers can come up with something goofier than "Count Dooku," I will be very pleased.

John Boyega and Daisy Ridley are the actors playing the two leads of the film. Those are NOT the characters' names. I know I'm being "that guy" about this particular point, and I apologize, but it's bothering me that multiple people have this misconception.

He said that they do not START OUT in the Falcon. He never said the Falcon is not in the movie. They probably reacquire it about halfway through.

John and Daisy are the actors' names. No one outside of the film's production knows what their characters' names are yet. From the author of the scoop, Devin Faraci, on Twitter: Also, I'm not sure why people are so convinced my scoop ties into EMPIRE at all. That is never stated. And...

Samurai Goroh is an Assist Trophy. I'm fairly confident that they wouldn't do that if Falcon wasn't coming back. He was unlockable in both N64 and Brawl, so they probably aren't going to reveal him prior to release and leave him as a secret character for players to unlock. That's exactly what...

The Godzilla dip seems like it is a completely different situation than Amazing Spider-Man 2's. Spidey was going up against no one but Neighbors, as most other films had fled the post-Spidey weekend in apparently unfounded fear. Spidey took a 72% drop up against nothing but an R-rated comedy...

That's a very fair point, and like I said in my previous post, I was probably getting anxious about something that didn't really happen. I think the former category you mentioned (classy and sophisticated) also takes into account very fluffy "feel-good" movies like The King's Speech and The...

Yeah, maybe I was getting a bit preemptively defensive of it. I was just very pleased with the results this year, despite what effort, or lack thereof, went into the choice. Ehh, I enjoy the Oscars as a spectacle and a celebration of film more so than a serious assessment of the cultural...

Okay, I agree that the voting system within the Academy is very political and kind of stupid if you get right down to it. But can we please, PLEASE not throw 12 Years A Slave under the bus because of it? This is once instance where the Oscars firmly and completely got it right. 12 Years A...

Yeah, to add to the couple people who have already said this, Monster Hunter 4G is getting released worldwide [http://www.gameinformer.com/games/monster_hunter_4_ultimate/b/3ds/archive/2014/01/26/monster-hunter-4-ultimate-coming-to-3ds-next-year.aspx] as Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate in 2015...

But that's the point. "Not being good" is not the same thing as "doesn't work." If I buy a game that is bugged so bad that I cannot play it, or I purchase a physical disk and it is broken before I even put it in my console, you can sure as heck bet that I will be angry and wanting my money back...

Pretty much hit the nail on the head in regards to what I was going to say. To elaborate further: Why do so many people feel so personally slighted and hurt when they play a bad video game? The best way to address playing something bad is to acknowledge "Well, I didn't like that very much,"...

In 2013, the Jimquisition has become something that I genuinely look forward to every week. The videos always are put together very well and give me something to think about regardless of whether I agree or not. You bring attention to important issues and add to the commentary in a respectable...

For the many asking "Well, what do we do?": No one is saying that you have to go hunt down every troll on the internet. No one is saying that you have to fight violence with violence. You know what you can do? Post a nice comment on, say, the Depression Quest Greenlight page. Vote for...

I wasn't a huge fan of Unexpected Journey, but Desolation of Smaug was worse in nearly every way. It's even more bloated and even more meaningless, padded in so many areas that you can see the seams of the story stretching, trying to fit in all of these dangling plotlines with unsatisfactory...
