    That is a REALLY low bar though.

    At worst it will most likely be forgettable. A few stories based in the Star Wars universe is really nothing that can make or break the franchise - unless perhaps they are all knockouts, which is doubtful. I just hope one or two are excellent and the rest can be OK.

    The only Kung Fu movie I love! A masterpiece.

    Milo and Otis did well in the states too. It was also a heck of a lot less expensive to film then Clifford must be so did not have to make as much to be a hit. Though if the box office take of 136 is correct that is a heck of a lot of money for any film.

    There is quite a bit of action in the later sequels as well. This looks to be all prequel material though and still too much action for a faithful adaptation of any of the books. Then again maybe the trailers are hyping the action when the show itself will not have nearly so much.

    Looks cute but if I had to guess it is going to bomb.

    Nostalgia usually only lasts a year or so before it fades away so I would say no.

    Yup. All I could think was "again?"

    I just tried Walkabout the first time last night. The physics are excellent and it has a great presentation. The other golf game I have (Cloudlands 2 on PC) the physics are not quite as good but the ability to make your own courses is a real plus.

    It made me sick watching it and it was at best uninspired. It was pretty faithful to the source material - and SR was not about racing (that was a sideline), it was about a spy who thought he was a racer OR a Monkey and Kid hiding out in car trunks - take your pick.

    Agree on Vader. I have all three chapters (free with headset when I purchased) but I've only played the first one so far. I started like you did, mainly for exercise or at leas to stand instead of sitting at the PC, and just recently started using it more for fun as well. The headset is still too heavy and Field of View is still too small for being a monitor replacement for the PC - or for more general use. I do plan to start using it more for virtual miniature golf (I have cloudlands on the PC for playing wirelessly and just picked up walkabout mint golf) and FPS games and flight sims. The next Quest is supposed to have a better eyepiece for the Field of View. I'll be looking out for that one. EDIT - and since working from home, using the same Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor I work with, it is nice to get up from the computer and stand a while - even moreso when it is not possible to go outside and walk.

    I've finally been putting mine to use. I had a Quest 1 and bought the 2 a couple months back when wireless VR was released. My favorite titles right now are Star Wars Pinball and Tales from Galaxy's Edge. The pinball implementation in SW Pinball is spot on and the ability to collect "stuff" for the pinball room is kinda fun. Galaxy's Edge is not what I expected and not a stand out title really but it is solid. The voice acting is solid as is the gameplay and visuals. Though the aiming is wonky. Next up is Moon Rider (search for it in the web browser). It is a free version of Beat Saber that has a much better song selection for an old fart like me. On the FPS side is Contractors and another Onward. I've tried Contractors and will get back to it once I finish the Tales from Galaxy's Edge game. Contractors at least is very good and Onward has a good rep from what I've seen. On the PC connect side Star Wars Squadrons is very good but it makes me motion sick is not time flat. Though I am getting better at other games so I might give it another try. The constant turning in that game is just brutal though. I also use Maps for VR quite a bit, it is a lot of fun to explore an area in 3D at about the height you would actually be if walking around. From SteamVR I play the Virtual Railroad game Rolling Line a good bit.

    I think I have to own that when it comes out. Depending on how the controls work of course.

    I've been going to "Classics" (they can't really be classics, they were written in my lifetime). The Ringworld novels and the related Man-Kzin wars series. Soon I'll pick up the latest in "The Lost Fleet" book series and then back to Man-Kzin and other classics. Perhaps the Rama series.

    They just saw the price.
  16. Dynaman
    Very cool! See Price WHAT!

    Back to Disney. Fireworks are back! Three hotels are opening up by end of August. Park capacity has been increased again. Finally it looks like all social distancing is gone. Now what are they going to do with Fastpass+ and Virtual Queues? A number of rumors there.

    Hands Free- Is that the new buzzword for "It aint our fault if the car gets into an accident"? Other drivers on the road is why it is so draining to drive long distances. There is only so much white knuckle driving I can handle. My wife and I are also at the point where we can't drive in the dark after driving all day - we usually get started before the sun goes up but that is when we are rested. And no thanks for a car that is not Full Self Driving. I find it more dangerous to have the car normally drive but the driver has to take over if it does something unexpected. That is a recipe for an accident on long trips. I only use the cruise on the near empty bits of road and there are not enough of them as is.

    Marauder was bad too but it was Shakespeare compared to this.
  20. Dynaman
    *IF* self driving cars became a reality in the true sense (not needing to watch the road and take over) I would probably let the car drive me anywhere in the US. Till then, not likely for anything less then a month long stay. (not at Disney mind, anywhere).

    I'd suggest Tylenol (or Bourbon) instead.

    I'm old and Pew Pew Pew by itself just doesn't cut it anymore. Maybe if the LT character wasn't such an incredibly annoying stereotype (along with every other military stereotype).

    Isn't Gundam a 43 episode show. That is roughly 18 hours instead of 7.5. With titles like "This Attacks!", "That Attacks!", or "The Other Thing Attacks!". Granted there was character development and perhaps I didn't see every episode title but I had trouble slogging through the first couple DVDs a few years back. Best thing with streaming is I can watch a bit and come back and watch some more as long as I don't take too long and the show goes off the service.

    I have a new record. Just tried to watch "Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars" on Netflix and lasted through less then a minute. Dialog like that and you KNOW its garbage all the way through.

    More good news is that Gundam movies 1,2,3 are coming to Netflix on Friday. I tried slogging through the show once but the animation was too dated for me to enjoy now and it was such a long show. Now I can watch the three movies and get caught up on the start of the franchise. Char's Counterattack is coming Friday as well.
