The film was released on the 16th/17th in the UK.

The RDM's dog cannot read.

His cats might be able to, though. They're sneaky.

PAYDAY!
I went to a Pokémon concert last night

Pokémon concert

Cats are certainly sneaky. There are lots of sneaky cats all over the Internet.

In other news, Chase has decided I need to prove I'm not a U.S. citizen as their records say I was born in the U.S. So I've done some research, and somewhat surprisingly there is no place called Royan in the U.S.. So how could they get it wrong in the first place?! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royan

I guess I should be glad they didn't assume I was born in Royan in Iran?

Why do you need to prove it? If they think you're a citizen just go with it and vote for our next president while you're at it.

If they think you were born in the U.S. you could be the next President! Think of the tea they have in the White House.

Even better think of the tea they COULD have in the White House if a true tea lover were in there! Think of the tea they SHOULD have in the white house!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Thu Dec 24, 2015 1:08 pm

Executive order: Christmas Eve Tea.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Dec 24, 2015 2:00 pm

I'd be drinking tea, had I not accidentally got on an incorrect fast train out of London. Whoops

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Thu Dec 24, 2015 7:03 pm

Which train are you on?

Merry Christmas Eve everyone.

Oh and I don't think Chase could grant me the right to vote. Apparently it's related to FATCA but that's silly, why would I even pretend to not be American if I was?

Indeed if I was I could make sure not only the white house get better tea, but every house in the country!

Even better, I would decide on a new holiday for everyone: on the 16th of December every year, there would be a massive party in Boston to give free tea to everyone. I think this even has the potential to become a universal party, which could be celebrated everywhere by people of any faith, gender, race, etc. Sounds better than Trump's wall building projects, right?

Your platform seems sound, and thoroughly well rounded. You've got the RDM's vote.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Dec 25, 2015 5:16 am

Merry Christmas! December 16 tea party holiday gets my vote always!

Merry Teamas

and merry Christmas too

I was told to expect freezing temperatures at this time of year, how come it's warmer on the east coast than in southern California?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 12:47 pm

Another Christmas over

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Dec 27, 2015 10:25 pm

And a new one just begun!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 3:03 am

It's only the third day (fourth in UK) of Christmas! It's not over!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 11:10 am

Christmas Day is over. The Christmas food certainly isn't though!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 4:44 pm

Christmas won't be over until Epiphany Day as far as I'm concerned

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Mon Dec 28, 2015 4:58 pm

That's the normal order of things!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Wed Dec 30, 2015 9:20 am

Well the year is almost over anyway.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Thu Dec 31, 2015 2:12 pm

Year ends with today... or maybe it's already over in UK time, I can hardly figure out time zones. Anyway, have a cuppa to ring in the new year.

I'll note that I still don't have a Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor.

HAPPY 2G16!

Need a new banner now!

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jan 01, 2016 4:36 pm

Indubitably. Although, I thought we only got a new banner every other year.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sat Jan 02, 2016 12:49 pm

Man of Txt has told me he'll update the banner for this year... though he did also say that on the years that the banner wasn't updated

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 1:36 am

I wonder what kind of banner images we'll see in 2G16!

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 1:40 pm

FFVII remake?

Speaking of remakes and of VIIs, I've finally seen The Force Awakens. Is it just me or does it feel like a remake of Episode IV?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 2:25 pm

It ain't like people didn't like Episode IV, though.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 4:59 pm

You changed your avatar RDM? Hardly anybody does that nowadays

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 6:18 pm

It's part of the overall rebrand. He changed his name, his sig, and his avatar.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Sun Jan 03, 2016 11:58 pm

Happy rebranding

And yes, people liked episode IV. You didn't answer my question though

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 2:45 am

The RDM's good at not answering questions, he believes that was established on an earlier page. He's also good at not having seen the new Star Wars yet.

In many ways it was. I'm still waiting on where they go with it in the sequels to make my final judgement. On the one hand, I thought it was rather enjoyable for being reminiscent of and "feeling like" Episode IV. On the other hand, if this entire new trilogy feels like completely retreading old ground, I'm going to look back on it in a less fond way. I've read a lot of the criticism on the movie for being that and I can't deny that it's largely correct, but I also can't deny I enjoyed watching it. Still I can't imagine I'd be pleased if Episodes VIII and IX follow Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as closely as this did the original.

Calbrena · Post by **Calbrena** » Mon Jan 04, 2016 12:28 pm

@RDM, we'll keep this spoiler-free then

@LG, my thought exactly. I did enjoy it despite the "remake" feeling, and I did think some parts were like clever quotes. In a way it's very well done, because it can be enjoyed both by new, younger audiences and old fans. Though I'm waiting to see were episode VIII goes. I think there's a lot of potential, so I'm looking forward to it, but I hope it won't simply feel like a remake of episode V, as brilliant as V was.

Anyway, I'm not complaining, watching The Force Awakens felt much more satisfying than watching episode I

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Tue Jan 05, 2016 3:08 am

Sounds interesting. The RDM can't imagine they'd do the whole series like it was secretly a remake--people would catch on after a movie or two. Plus there just aren't enough Bothans left for that kind of thing.

In other news, there's apparently a line of dead pixels on the RDM's monitor, which is infuriating.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Tue Jan 05, 2016 11:34 am

It's not a remake, it's just derives heavily from the very first Star Wars film. It's kinda' like a soft reboot for Disney.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Tue Jan 05, 2016 10:27 pm

Better than a cold reboot. The RDM hears those can be security problems.

Cybernetic Empire · Post by **Cybernetic Empire** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 12:05 am

I prefer erect reboots.

I think they kinda tried to do like for Avatar. Since Avatar did very well despite just copying the plot from Pocahontas, they probably thought they could do more or less the same and still make tons of money?

I don't like dead pixels either, they're annoying. I think there's a dead pixel on our PC monitor, but I'm not sure as I haven't seen that PC for months. I hope it finally arrives soon.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jan 06, 2016 10:19 pm

The RDM is now thinking it's more "dying pixels" rather than dead ones.

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Thu Jan 07, 2016 1:59 pm

Enough of Star Wars in this thread now. Let's predict the date that Man of TXT will update the banner on!

I say February 12th

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 2:58 am

How about around the same time as the annual end of SG scare or did we stop having those?

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 2:56 pm

Don't think we've had one for a couple of years. Had SG Day last year instead

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Fri Jan 08, 2016 10:49 pm
