    House of the Dragon

    The season DVD extras, I believe each season has about an hour of these little clips.

    House of the Dragon

    The side they are on, with "Velaryon" (The black guy most prominent in the trailer) does get massacred. They are the ones who lose the civil war. Of course, they were white until this show reminded us who the Kangs were. (You can see Velaryon in the first video below--white, of course, because...

    House of the Dragon

    Its ironic that Martin left TV writing because the budgets of TV shows were too constraining for his imagination...Then his work ends up back on TV and the production company is willing to give the show runners an almost unlimited budget and the ability to extend the series almost endlessly, but...

    RIP Norm MacDonald

    His best shit was with Conan on Conan's late, late show--when it still was on a shoe string budget and he had b-list stars on. Norm roasting them and stealing their thunder was some of the best comedy, ever. Fucking hysterical. The man genuinely was a master at making NOT FUNNY things funny.

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Yes, being correct is the goal...lol. (Still don't have an example where some other depiction misconstrued darkness for 'black', eh?)

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Loki also fucked a horse, guess he's into bestiality. No one cares. This isn't about the substance of the thing, you're trying so hard but missing the point. This is about holding people to their own rules. You'll catch up, eventually.

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Have you been awake for the past 10 years? They do, yes..and the media campaigns bitching about it have literally gotten studios to start apologizing for it, and now specifically removing white people playing race swapped characters. Like name the movie and I can link a dozen articles about...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Where were you poking fun when Jeremy Irons wasn't allowed to play scar because he was white and a bunch of talking lions all had to be black because Lions come from Africa? Or poking fun at a bunch of white voice actors being dropped from their gigs because they were white and voicing other...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Yeah, that's a lot of labored stretching to try and make a modern concept of "black people" fit in with Niflheim and the concept of death/darkness. Anyone who read Hel as "half black" is a fucking idiot, and doesn't know how these words work. As for your meme; again, the new morality has...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    As annoying as the hypocrisy of seeing European myths/cultural figures be changed, while supposedly it is a profound heresy to do that to other cultures, I still have hope. Mainly because the whole father/son dynamic in the first game was really refreshing in an age where strong, competent...

    God of War: Ragnarok

    Lets say we were playing a game about an African or Hindu or Chinese civilization, and one of the gods of their pantheon, who was historically depicted as having qualities of the faith's ethnic background, was turned into a white guy. How long do you think before all of games media was enraged...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Well, I think the difference is previously MMOs took time from you--now they slightly delay reward. By that I mean, if you died, you lost experience (Or gear in UO ect), you lost things you'd already gained. Those things eventually translated simply into time, yeah...But that kind of negative...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I've said this on here before, but social media companies ended up making better MMOs than MMOs went onto make, because they focused on people while MMOs focused purely on the game. MMOs will never compete as purely just games, single player games and "small scale" online games will always be...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is probably one of the things that died with the growth of the internet. @Kirun mentioned it, and he's right--there is just a bunch of stuff that was magic in 99 but will never be again because the internet is too robust now. However, I do think there are ways to capture some of that magic...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    This is exactly it. The worst thing that can happen to me in most modern MMOs is I don't get what I want as quickly...That's the "risk", that it might take you 10 units of time vs 7 if you don't do things correctly. There is no risk, there is no tension. Its boring.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    The problem they are pointing to is the core of everything. People keep people playing MMOs--you even admit it in your next post, when you couldn't group with your friends, you left. The issue though, has nuance. Faceless, unneeded people don't keep you playing--friends do. Simply being in a...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Human nature. Humans need socialization. But that doesn't mean they like to do it. That contradiction fucks most MMOs up, because game designers tend to want to do things people like, and don't realize what they need and like aren't always the same thing. Without incentives to socialize...

    Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (2021)

    Almost non-existent in this thread. Your need to champion your bullshit has made you delusional--you see opposition where there isn't any. Asian people playing asian characters is great--people only get upset when they race swap to appease cultists like you who actually throw delusional shit...

    Eternals (2021)

    That trailer was a lot better. The shot of the fucking celestial was amazing--they are one of my favorite 'cosmics' in the comics, really glad they are going to be at the center of the story (ies) going forward. Still not sold that Marvel's sophomore arc will do well, though...unfortunately. =-/

    Yeah...in my current game I have a psychopath butchering raiders to make kibble for the animals.

    Rimworld

    Does he literally have a giant hipster beard and everything? That's too perfect. Just started playing this, ran out of components--no idea how to get more, trying my first trade caravan (The work bench that makes them is still a huge way off in terms of research and haven't had any traders...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    If this is the story, I'll go see it multiple times just so Hollywood gets it through its thick fucking skull how to hand off a torch. It boggles the mind that I watch Cobra Kai and how goofy, and dumb the writing is there, and think "god this is good". Not because its good, but because of how...

    Rick and Morty

    I mean, this is classic Harmon. Nearly all of his shows drop off after 3 seasons. He just seems to get bored with characters after that and puts shit on auto pilot. I thought the first episode and the clone episode were pretty strong. The rest were kind of weak. If this is all a build up to a...

    The Netflix Thread

    The really sad part is that shows with those strong male leads do really, really well it seems like--I have a feeling people are genuinely hungry for shows like that because they are so rare. That said, those shows like Mando and Kai also do something else right--they actually bridge the gap...

    Just saw the scene where his parents are literally mourning the loss of their son, and she scolds them for keeping it a secret from her and quits. And then yeah...goes on to say she was the true victim even though a man died literally to protect her. Kevin really did capture modern feminism...

    Highlander

    What people fail to get about acting is there are two main axis its judged on--the ability change how you express yourself so as to take on another character or mimic someone else. Someone like Gary Oldman is a master at this. But the second aspect, that's really just as important--is the...

    How come there weren't white, hispanic and Asian people in Wakanda? Shut the fuck up with "ITS NOT A REAL PLACE"---its a set of European myths. For every other civilization, its considered respectful now to not fuck with their myths by white washing them (And they will bitch endlessly if it...

    The idea that a civilization could bend time and space so radically as to go back in time, but they couldn't figure out say...rail guns, is too retarded to give a chance. Just too retarded. There are fucking limits, man.

    SWTOR

    You get the combat skills. You are essentially that class, but keep your comestics of the base class. So the base class is just fashion quest now--that's how your class will look in terms of armor ect. How it will play will be whatever advanced class you pick.
