did you guys forget we went over this soccer ball robot thing way upthread

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:02 (nine years ago) link

tbh just been sitting here smugly about it

mh, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:12 (nine years ago) link

Oh, yeah that is an upside down super star destroyer! Such a cool effect.

Evan, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:20 (nine years ago) link

my whole confusion about the soccer ball robot was based on not being able to tell/see that the lower half was bisected

Οὖτις, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:22 (nine years ago) link

altho wait looking at that new clip it looks like it's *not* bisected? ok I have no idea how it works.

Reason why it's a big deal is previously we only saw it in that first trailer and this was a real-life and functional robot making its public debut yesterday.

caught an intern at work watching the trailer and asked him his take on the whole thing. he was pretty sure he'd seen the original trilogy first, though possibly all out of order - and definitely felt it was superior to the prequels, as any sensible person would. but his enthusiasm was way more tempered - not so much by the prequels, but by the fact that there were a whole bunch of blockbuster kid-oriented cross-promotional franchises when he was young. so he knew that jimmy kimmel and the dads of friends were shedding tears watching this thing, his pals were more "looks good, will check out." dude had no idea how novel the action figures were, or that some sad gen-xers saw episode one five times purely out of stockholm syndrome.

when it wasn't called "Episode One" and ppl knew when to quit

it's crazy that, for instance, a twenty year old today was 6 when harry potter 1 came out

xpost morbs, i'm talking about "the phantom menace" - which was always called episode one. It's the original that some now call Episode Four

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:39 (nine years ago) link

you know what's insane is that a fifty year old today was like nine when nixon retired
it's like
TIME

forks if you're tired of your peers acknowledging when time's passing feels bizarre in certain contexts, buckle up you're in a for a bumpy 2nd half of your life

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link

see, the whole numbering thing is a drag

Star Wars is now as old as Gone with the Wind was in 1977.
*BOOM*

the increasing costive borborygmi (Dr Morbius), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:51 (nine years ago) link

croup i'm pretty sure we're about the same age but tell me more about how strange it is that pop sensations of the nineties are like twenty-five years old now

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link

again, you should try to desensitize yourself this phenomenon before you hit 40

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:54 (nine years ago) link

I think it's kinda weird that Terminator 3 is older now than Terminator 2 was when Terminator 3 came out, but only because TIME's march has made Arnold Schwarzenegger look just laughably implausible as an ageless killer robot in Terminator 5.

Doctor Casino, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:55 (nine years ago) link

Wondering if someone perhaps compiled any kind of list or something that documents how long ago things of the 90s are.

March of Time Episode Eight: Nostalgia's Pull

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:57 (nine years ago) link

At the EA panel now. The battle that results in the crashed star destroyer in the trailer will be playable content in the new Battlefront two weeks before the movie opens.

I might like you better if we Yelped together (Phil D.), Friday, 17 April 2015 17:57 (nine years ago) link

That's nice and all, but how old is someone now if they were 5 when Saved By The Bell was on the air?

Evan, Friday, 17 April 2015 17:58 (nine years ago) link

It's crazy that some people who were 33 when the last Star Wars teaser trailer came out are now 34.

dearest rebecca, forgive the lateness of my letter; it has been four star wars since last we spoke

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 18:02 (nine years ago) link

there's a real irony to complaining about someone acknowledging the passing of time on a star wars 7 thread

or wait, is that the problem

lol, i swear dude there is really no circumstance under which you can post "yeah okay, i suppose people could see things differently; i'll let it go" is there

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 18:12 (nine years ago) link

there are, but "lol that's stupid to care about" isn't one

da croupier, Friday, 17 April 2015 18:14 (nine years ago) link

regardless of how you'd like to reframe it, "a twenty year old today was 6 when harry potter 1 came out" is kind of stupid to care about but seriously this is the sort of non-argument that you've made a name for yourself with and to join in is to lose

Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 18:17 (nine years ago) link

Just watched that Battlefront trailer, disappointed that no gameplay is shown.

hey i just expressed a feeling about a fact, you're the one that made it into an argument

are you guys reenacting the climactic volcano lightsaber duel from episode iii or what

Doctor Casino, Friday, 17 April 2015 18:20 (nine years ago) link

kinda probably

They did say that is in-engine footage, though, so my expectations are high.

xp

It was impressive for what it was I guess. I wonder if it would still have the single player mode.

DAMN look at that model! It is so nice to see real spaceships again not CGI dreams.

They are making "Spaceballs 2: The Search for More Money" last I heard.

they're still trying to write a Darth Maul double-lightsaber dick joke that works.
