Geeze, I am bad with keeping up my journal postings. >.> Anyway, do have some nerdy ramblings on my mind; a long nerdy rambling.
First, since my internet is poop, I read up on MAHQ on the finale of G-Tekketsu. To avoid too many spoilers (though my Tweet kinda spoils it), it's kind of a bum that this is the first TV series in Gundam where the protagonist dies (yes Amuro and Char die in Char's Counterattck and Bernie dies in 0080, but they were not full series). Then again, Mikazuki was pretty much like Zeyhart Gallete from Gundam AGE; he simply followed another's vision and died for it. And when you get down to it, the real protagonists are really Gallaeo and Kudelia. McGillis is probably the weakest Char clone in quite a while too. At the very least we did get some of the best grunts in Gundam since the GN-X in the Graze and the Shiden (and perhaps the Landman Rodi) and its a fresh breath of mecha designs for Gundam as well.
Secondly, it looks like Warhammer 40K almost outright copied from Warhammer Fantasy for the buildup to a new edition of the tabletop rules. The Gathering Storm basically brought Grandpa Smurf from near-death and now, he's leading 40Ks version of Sigmar's boys in gold - the Primaris Astartes, clad in Mk X Power Armor (what happened to Mk IX...and the Mk VIII Errant Armor was extremely rare so how in the name of the Omnissiah did that happen?) in Smurf Blue. Just as long as they don't change the names of the races and do the same stuff they did in Fantasy with Age of Sigmar.
Speaking of 40K...I did indeed preorder Dawn of War III and got it all installed. For those who don't follow my tweets, I am disappointed in the game. Yes they brought back base building - it's just very, very watered down version of it. And they also have removed almost all the customization in the units, especially Tactical Marines. I can understand it with Eldar Aspect Warriors (save their Exarchs) and even Ork Boyz, but the Astartes have always been knowing for their flexibility. I don't like having purpose-built units of Devastators for heavy bolters or lascannon and the only way to get a missile is with Kill Team Ironmaw (which if you know a bit about the most recent Codex: Deathwatch, they ought to have far more exotic weapons like a heavy bolter with an underslung heavy flamer or C'tan phase blades). And I think the "Elite" units are kinda OP. But I think the biggest headaches are the lack of a good retreat function for units and an Overwatch ability. Ugh. >.< Even a few of the folks I have on my Steam friends list are playing Dawn of War I and II over III. It's just too watered down and multiplayer feels as cheap as playing in PvP arenas in Angry Birds: Epic (where every opponent has a "Mythic" emblem which I haven't been able to get even six months after introducing them).
That's aside the voice actor annoyances, any mention of Kaurava and how the heck Rohnan (and the spirit stone of Taldeer) ended up in the Biel-Tan Swordwind's hand, and most of all...why is the Autarch making and following prophecies and not being the champion. Yeah Relic, you got the roles backwards, Macha as a farseer is the one who makes prophecies and Kyre is supposed to be the champion and military leader. >.<
Rant: Hey Relic, mind actually listening to real Dawn of War fans who are interested and know a good bit of the Warhammer 40K mythos and like Dawn of War I and II? Dawn of War III should have been based on the Firestorm over Kronus/Kaurava mods for Dawn of War, plus the cover and wargear systems from Dawn of War II and tabletop-level of customization.
That aside, I still haven't beaten the Elite Four for the first time on Pokemon Moon (and I am using a Gallade in my party since my Ryperior was taking forever to train up). I guess that Sun and Moon get really boring, especially with keeping up on the global missions. If they actually had a true National Pokedex and more stuff to do maybe I'd pick it up more often than to just get the mega stones by code.
Finally - for now - one last rant. I'm tired of all the people speculating on a possible Pokemon "Stars" title or Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Knight. All you are doing is contributing to clickbait and not real journalism. Just wait for whatever is officially announced and just enjoy it when it's available! >.<
I think that's about all for now. Might have a less nerdy post coming up soon.

Sorry about that Charlie, this is why I rarely use Twitter because I hate spoilers.

OP
If you're talking Spoilers...it's all over the place - especially if you use something like Yahoo or MSN or what have you with all those entertainment pages with the speculation.
