I feel that if they were on the fence about it they would have just dumped it onto Disney+ and chalked any critical failure to pandemic related issues. Instead they held it back a full year and apparently without any reshoots or adjustments of any kind. By this point Feige etc have seen the...

I do like that they have all sorts of Holy Symbol options. My cleric has a holy symbol cloak as he wears his lawman's badge around his neck. Shame that Sorcerer isn't done yet. I ended up going Cleric-Heal, Wizard-Nuke, Rogue-Thief and Ranger-Sharpshooter.

I'm waiting for the snowflake shitstorm when the fragile-Y chromosome types see 'pronouns' in character generation. Going through the first part of the game again its far more polished than before with lots of nice touches. Reliance on light even for darkvision types is still a titch annoying...

Yeah they went in with a slow burn ala Fringe but its a different era now and you can't just piss away episodes on world building hoping that you are gonna get a season 2+. Shame as the finale brought John Noble into the show in what was clearly meant to be a continuing role.

https://blizzcon.com/en-us/news/23655116 I'm sure the fact that they got jack all to show has nothing to do with it...

McD's BTS meal launched today. The Sweet Chili sauce is quite tasty!

They have decided to rework the pilot and are deferring any potential work on a series until next year. Thank the maker.

Thanos is an Eternal, sort of, and so they may not have done anything due to some sort of Prime Directive. They are the Marvel version of the New Gods but with even less direct involvement in the affairs of lesser beings. It will be interesting to see what exactly gets them to become...

Damnit. Was looking forward to having a cool surprise. Oh well cancelled pre-order.

"Although for those who’ve waited so patiently to play it, they may well be disappointed to discover a gorgeous but janky mess, overly ambitious but under-achieving, and really rather broken." From the Kotaku review

They always show Omega looking at / paying close attention to specific movements of the different clones which is why I'm thinking she's not a force-user but rather someone who has a near eidetic physical memory and thus has preternatural ability to pick up new abilities as a result. Sort of a...

I'm not overly wild about the new ME 1 combat. I see what they tried to do in terms of making it more similar to the other two, but it just feels sort of floaty as a result. Like I cant tell if I actually hit something half the time.

The missing mother bugged the hell out of us too. The whole reason for the goddamn daughter to come along / get everyone killed and she's not even addressed at the end? My guess was that she absolutely died but some test audiences didn't like it and so they cut the scene where you clearly see...

Thinking more that Tarkin seems to be gunning to piss the Kaminoans off. Seems unwise to irk the people that made the army that conquered the galaxy.

Kamino must have made serious bank for all those clones during the Clone Wars right? I figure something terrible has to happen to the Kaminoans to prevent them from going off and building a new supersoldier army for the Rebellion.

If the whole point is to get an alpha zombie then why not just bonk the one there for the sacrifice and everyone goes home?

Stop talking and wasting time when a nuke is coming!!! God there was so many times I wanted the main characters to die for being stupid.

28 days later is an 'older zombie flick'?? Ugh. Stupid time moving forward.

Either this is very clever marketing aimed at tanking negative reviews or there may actually be a cool story that is spoiler-worthy?

Theaters are for poor people. Everyone else should have a much nicer movie-watching experience at home. At this point they are like public baths in ancient Rome.

This is actually looking like it might be fun. Wasn't on my RADAR at all until now but it seems very Jade Empire mixed with Infamous.

The MCU has been great about bringing life into otherwise cast-off characters. Circa 2012 aint nobody thinking Star Lord, Rocket Racoon, etc. were anything other than D-listers who existed on the very fringe of the Marvel Comics multiverse. Not having the IP for some of the big hitters from...

Well it was initially just the pilot episode for Star Trek 2 where they had to introduce the three major new characters in a big way. While Xon got fucked over when Nimoy signed on after it switched from a new TV series to a motion picture, the other two were still central to the original plot...

I think you misunderstood my point. There is a population of people who aren't going to just buy the system for the sake of having it but rather will be motivated to do so when a game they are anticipating comes out. If I go 'oh! I want to play that, please sell me a copy and a console to play...

All the major kids have powers that match their parent. Though Hutch has no powers.

The true test will be how available the system is by the time Horizon Forbidden West launches. Having a killer app to sell systems doesn't help if you can't actually sell systems.

Still wondering how the world goes from some alien cloud/Zordon giving 6 'twenty somethings with attitude' super powers to having a whole plethora of super beings running around including, apparently, wizards. Then again we don't have a real hard fix on how many powered people there are. It...

Having read the comic synopsis now I am convinced they want to decompress the fuck out of this. Otherwise why cast the show as they did with much of the cast as age appropriate for the 1929 sequence. Not sure if they do Gold, Silver, ane Bronze ages or not. Might just jump to the 50s for...

Okay I sucked it up and went with Quickplay random... And it was actually a lot of fun. Mostly boardgamer types and the people were generally quite competent (though literally every game had a guy/girl couple where the girl was confused)

Yeah the 1929 storyline is the clear winner. The 'present day' part with the tortured son and cunt-bitch daughter are very tired.

Oh lord... https://io9.gizmodo.com/why-star-wars-fans-are-concerned-about-the-bad-batch-an-1846831469 So they update the lighting rig for their animation pipeline and everyone concludes that they are whitewashing the clones + Kanan. Its like the whole Overwatch 2 McCree thing all over again.

Only been able to play Demeo on Skirmish mode as my only buddy with a VR setup is in the middle of moving and packed his Oculus stuff away... I suppose I could try QuickPlay or something but I have developed a deep-seated fear of randos. The visuals on this are exactly what I was hoping for...

Well episode 2 is essentially standalone adventure. Has some character stuff for Omega but we aren't any closer to figuring out her deal. Did Cut not have an inhibitor chip? I don't recall enough from 'The Deserter' but at that point I don't think the existence of the chip had been...

People seem to be losing their shit because the stunt person for Inej was a white woman. What's going to be the reaction when someone goes 'Sorry were going to have to recast the role as a white person because we can't find a brown female stunt performer here in Eastern Europe'?

Well they also avoid stepping on the release dates of their own films wherein they try to lure people back to the temples of contagion and misery. (Note that many cinemas could be described as such even before a global pandemic)

I tried, and failed, to play Dragon Age 2 several times. Initially it was because I was a big fan of Origins and did not care for the sudden tone shift and dumping of the protagonist that you developed over the course of what amounts to a game-long prologue. Subsequent attempts fared a little...

Comes out tomorrow. They've already announced additional modules releasing progressively.

These are good points... The obvious counterpoint being that the clones could at least shoot and hit things.

The core plot element of Tarkin being concerned that the clones aren't good enough soldiers to support the needs of the Empire made me laugh.
