Mark Hamill grew a beard for Star Wars 7.

So he's going for the whole "younger Kenobi" look but older... I can go with that...

I think he's going for the classic "Jedi Master" look that GL had down between Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Has anybody else ever realized these are like the only two movie characters that have like three syllable, hyphenated names? Like... there's no relation between them other than Obi-Wan was Qui-Gon's apprentice. They aren't related, nor came from the same world.

pssst.  Obi-Wan Kenobi has six syllables. Qui-Gon minus the Jin is only two.

Give me that Gin so I can make it three. Give me the GIN. THE GIN. GIN GIIN GIN

Meant like words... not syllables.

If you can't see it... you're not worthy...   

I made this

Any games any one is looking forward to?

Destiny, Dragon Age Inquisition, and Battlefront 3 is all I want in life

Well, I'm playing this half-assed beta of Gal Civs III...
Though I can't really see how they're calling it a "beta" when one of the major features (diplomacy) is missing in its' entirety...

So is just a constant state of war?

Yup. As soon as you encounter another faction you're considered at war with them and there's no way of changing that atm.

Another thing I would really like changed is the games' consistent attempts of having you build its' pre-made ships. Literally every time I go to a shipyard it generates a "new version" of the pre-made ships that I just deleted. And they're not even different! Like, it just puts the next higher number at the end of each name... No. My ships are clearly far superior to whatever junk you've made, game...
Also that and right now the fleet system is missing, along with tactical combat (both considerable features). Meaning it's basically ship vs. ship and the winner is resolved depending on stats.

Oh, also- If you have an Nvidia or AMD card, no matter the version or driver, chances are you'll run into the games' UI not having any text due to a glitch they couldn't be bothered fixing before calling their game a beta... What's the "temporary fix"? Just run the game on your integrated graphics chip. What if you don't have one, you ask? Well, tough potatoes...

On the bright side- it's no-longer 80 pounds...

Since Jet's been shamelessly promoting his little "reviews".
Here's my full take on Gal Civs 3:

Also, is the Steam site randomly changing languages for anyone else?
Choice of the day seems to be... Norwegian...

Yes. When you click a link to a non-steam thingy and it shows that stuff in swedish or whatever, click the little words with a down arrow in the upper right and look for "english" in the scroll-down thingy cuz that's the language selector. It's been fine for me since.

I heard some Bulgarians vandalized a russian monument. Made one of the statues look like the joker. I thought to myself, "Banana, you're not fooling anybody, we know what you did."

You mean this:

It's old news from about two years ago. I actually have a photo of it in my room. I'm also fairly certain I told you guys about this then it happened...
The monument in question is in one of Sofia's central parks and from the old communist times, representing the "national values and heroism" or something like that and has since been cleaned. The text below translates to "going with the times" and the caricature in general represents the change is values/things we look up to.

As for Steam wackiness, it keeps changing languages on a daily basis. Today's special is French... Front page is fine but once you load away from it, it changes the language. I find it hilarious...

Ban... I don't think this is a question we've ever asked you. How many languages do you speak/read?

English and Bulgarian (duh) I consider my main languages. I've studied Spanish in high school but I'm gonna need maybe a couple days around Spanish speakers if you want me to start speaking it. I can also make out most Russian speech/text since it's close to Bulgarian.

I have to read Crime and Punishment and I can't get into that.
