I fear there is no chance this is good...

Virtual Desktop for wireless streaming vs needing the cable to tether you to the PC. Its a small change but one which makes everything just enough easier that average Joe can do it.

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3785435-facebook-parent-meta-halts-project-to-build-its-own-vrar-os-sticking-with-android-report That has to burn... They abandoned the name Oculus, they opened Quest up to let people use Steam and bypass their storefront. At this point they are just selling...

Fair point. However they spent soooo much money on costumes and sets and props and various accoutrements only to film it as if they were shooing a new season of Single Female Lawyer. In contrast the Witcher production costs are likely much much lower in terms of physical objects but they...

I liked that Tatooine having oceans in the past is now canon. The Tuskens are basically living in a post apocalyptic Mad Max scenario. It does seem implausible that they've managed to survive well enough this long without adapting to off worlder technology beyond blaster rifles and...

I liked that they effectively ignored Ghostbusters 2. This was nothing revolutionary, but it was a nice potential reboot of the franchise in a way that respects the existing material. Yeah it pulls a Force Awakens by recycling the original plot but it does so in a way that feels about as...

Watching The Witcher season 2 after this makes it glaringly clear that whoever is in charge of the Wheel of Time series needs to hire a damn cinematographer who knows what they are doing.

Thundarr got a nice Blu ray release this past year where they went back to the original animation masters and scanned them in. Absolutely beautiful and full of details that never were visible in the original broadcast.

Audica by Harmonix was much more to my own liking. It never took off the same way Beat Saber has, but I find its shooting-focused rhythm and wide open spaces very relaxing.

The Laconia business continues to confound. There has to be a plan for something to deal with the final three books yeah? Otherwise all this effort building up the Laconian plot in the cold opens makes no sense whatsoever.

The show runners did say that they have to compress and trim some characters because there are so many 'main' characters over 14 novels. I kinda wonder which ones they will actually merge / kill.

I think this is a one-and-done sort of deal. The source material is too dense and out of control for a second adaptation to be greenlit. This is almost certainly the only Wheel of Time we will see.

We are now three primary story arcs into the season and it's just crazy how much world building they are doing here. Earth-16 is the most coherent DC Universe since the now venerable Timmverse ended and definitely tackles more complex issues. Giving Mary Marvel a major arc is just perfect as...

I thought this was fine. We will see how the plotline plays out, but it was enjoyable for what it is so far. I quite liked having Matt Berry as 8D8 and the cameo appearance by the Boston Dynamics robots.

We are nearing 50000 responses in a thread that started in 2013 for a game that is not only not yet released but which is at least 2 more years from being released....

Maybe they should focus on getting something actually finished enough to be played. I am sensing a strong Wildstar vibe at this point wherein they will do a ton of work to release a complete MMO experience that then just dies on the vine.

Finished the season and I understand why they had that last scene and am fine with that as the Seanchan just kinda showing up in Book 2 was a bit out of left field (as well as the start down the path of too many plotlines that took a 'trilogy' and made it 14 books). I'm also sorta okay with...

It's $20 on both Epic and Steam

Do not watch the end credit sequence. I am not kidding here. Do. Not. Watch. It. Just turn the TV off and walk away

Cryptic / Perfect Worlds got just railed by the collosal design failure that was Magic Legends. Hopefully Gearbox can provide at least some oversight to avoid such glaring mistakes in the future.

Yes. The parts of BL3 that had nothing to do with the main plot were generally quite good. Plus the gameplay itself was decent. This is why I am optimistic about Wonderlands.

I was the only one who cheered at the brick catching scene made me sad :(

Okay that's cheating. Its TRUE, but still cheating. I'm as queer as a 3-dollar bill but good lord Yelena Belova is an amazing character. Florence Pugh is definitely going places so hopefully Feige and company have locked her down with a long term but mutually lucrative commitment.

If that's the case then why are all the dudes hideous as well?

How cool is it that not only is he there, but an Avenger is actively worried about his involvement? Even if it's not a 100% universe incorporation it still validates Daredevil etc.

On a similar subject : Dungeons & Dragons: Wizards of the Coast Removes Problematic Lore This seems to be an overreaction... a very large overreaction. Beholders are bad! Its good to have an example of bad!

Yelena Belova is so goddamn fun. Florence Pugh is a gem.

Maybe all of this will convince Sanderson to take an animated approach if they ever do a Stormlight or Mistborn adaptation

So, like, we are all in agreement that Vera Farmiga's character is the Swordsman in the MCU? Because that bitch is being shady as fuck meanwhile Dusquene is just awkwardly enthusiastic.

Posting this for a friend of one of my players: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/639169370/heroes-of-wakesong/

It's a very distinctive sound. I used to play with headphones on and didn't even notice that the controller was making the sound until my fiance came downstairs and asked what the hell I was doing.

I was a teenager when I read the Incarnations of Immortality and thought they were fun romps. Reading them again as an adult makes me cringe.

Can we discuss what's wrong with Liandrin's face? She looks less 'ageless' and more 'addicted to cosmetic surgery'

Yeah then you couldn't have someone rage-quit a dungeon because people don't know the routes less than 3 hours after the expansion launches.

Episode 1 is now live.

Cutscene actually froze the vid for me... was hardly the 'next gen' experience I was expecting. So far it seems very --- Xbox One.

https://deadline.com/2021/12/invasion-renewed-season-2-apple-1234887049/ Dear God why? Are there family members being held hostage? Do we need Liam Neeson to deal with this?

Something that occured to me when they first announced the adaptation is that Wheel of Time was revolutionary at the time it was written, but that's because it was coming on the heels of stuff like Dragonlance, Piers Anthony, or some of the more godawful Forgotten Realms paperback novels...
