Evans wasn't fired, Endgame fulfilled his contract. He had been griping in the press for years that he didn't want the Marvel grind anymore. These weren't statements to try to get a raise for another batch of movies, he wanted out of the Marvel system. Whether that will be a good move for him...

My blizzard launcher doesn't mention Remix whatsoever, so I'm thinking popular opinion has soured shockingly quickly. And to be clear, there's two separate issues: 1) Scaling in instanced content is detrimental starting in the 60s, bordering on unplayable at 70. 2) There's no clear progression...

Fired up a new character, and even with Infinite Power XII, the cloak started as +150 Main Stat +750 Stamina +150 Versatility +100% Experience Gain That's it.

Looking around, it sounds like anyone 60+ in instances is likely hosed due to the scaling, and even the final quest lines in Dread Wastes and the point release content can be lethal depending on class / number of mandatory adds. (It also sounds like this is nothing new, and Chromie time has...

Note that scenarios, dungeons, and even raids are queueable long before 70. In fact, I would recommend it - NPC offensive abilities at 70 seem totally broken. I'm not sure if this is related to even level 70s not getting their jewelry slots until achievements (i.e. clearing all scenarios and...

I'm level 60 after 11 hours (with by no means an optimized play style), so again, this is a really good way to knock out those Heritage armor set achieves. I have not seen any firm math on when it is best to farm Bronze, however. I believe additional characters will start out with better cloaks...

At this point I remember three episodes about Married With Children: Anthrax (since I was a metal teenager) Aliens (Isuzu!, I think it was) Kelly as a trivia champion whose brain fills up (Polk High) So yeah, I don't have the greatest reverence for it, but animated is probably the only medium...

I think Pratt is still under contract for another movie or two, its just that he's connected to the James Gunn divorce and Marvel isn't touching that subbrand as a result at the moment. (Hell, the Guardians 3 credits specifically say 'Star Lord will return', not the Guardians.) Downey could...

Stretegically, releasing what is essentially Pandaria Season of Discovery right after Cataclysm classic and soon after Classic Discovery seems like a good way to split your playerbase to even more absurd levels. In practice, the new rules do lead to interesting gameplay results in the moment...

My born in the early to mid 90s coworkers all had the opinion that the prequels were action packed and fun and the originals were boring. Some of them with time have at least realized that Empire (and to a lesser extent Star Wars) are quality beyond the action, but not all of them. The sad...

Is it a flop though? Don't get me wrong, it won't make its budget back, which is a bummer given the stars, director, and craft involved. But Covid shutdowns, streaming options, and generational shifts have really hurt box office trends, likely permanently, in a way that movie budgets haven't...

Much like RPGs, its because they aren't a genre, they're an element now. When even your Call of Duty has a persistent online background level with tiered rewards, all games are MMORPGs now. Some games might hide their gear resets behind a seasonal pass facade, both to push fomo player...

Hank doesn't have the codes to cold fusion specifically, he has Vault Tec administrator access. There's no real reason Hank or Betty would know who Moldaver was pre-War - there's no evidence Betty was more than just a secretary, and Hank was at best a newbie manager just turned from executive...

I hope this finally confirms for people that the Bills are rebuilding, and aren't a piece or two away anymore.

I'm not that offended by Atlanta, Cousins didn't make it out of last season in one piece, someone will have to cover in stretches over the next two+ years. Especially when you see how much the likes of Flacco still end up playing.
