Yep, me too. As said above, it's an ok movie, with an actress that could have done/been better in the role.

As an aside, I just finally realized that they kept the old schtick of someone losing an arm during the Infinity War. It's just that, since it's Groot, he regrows it usually fast. (said arm being use as a handle for Stormbreaker)

The thing is, you ordered a McDeluxe meal with extras (Mythic raid), and the guy coming ordered a basic burger and... got a McDeluxe with supersized soda (Emissary titanforge). And so, you're "why did I spend so much and the guy whipped a dollar bill and got more than me?"

They still do. Zero-time LFG queues will do that to anyone.

You keep that paladin out of combat, then he can still help during the fight by rezing.

In the original (as in, Norse Myth, not Marvel original), he's not only a Frost Giant's son, he's blood brother to... Odin himself (instead of being Thor's "brother"). Which is why his antics in Asgard get tolerated until he manages to get Baldur killed. I was sad that he wasn't correctly...

They always said they had the original game code and data. It's just that it would not run on any modern hardware or current servers. Which is why they backport the original behavior on the current codebase.

Yep. Then it's waiting for the shipping (hardcover for me, since it's Orbit, and half the books from Orbit - notably the Expanse - break down when they land on my ebook reader)

One post-credit scene of Dr Strange is one of the early scenes in Thor 3.

Given that they occur "more or less" in real time, then order of release = order of watching is good.

For now. Note that a number of your car functions are increasingly tied, not to network connectivity, but third party services. The Nissan incident is an example: a third party can easily prevent you from using your own possession at any time. Amazon can remove an edition of 1984 from your...

Sometimes, it's more like non-autonomous systems: https://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2019/03/13/zipcar-disruption-reveals-vagaries-tech-connectivity/OXdeNy9L6aLD1Yz6qyemdK/story.html TL;DR: All of Zipcar's vehicles are remotely controlled. If the car can't ensure over the network it's...

Apparently, three $10 toys appeared temporarily on the store before vanishing quickly.

You can blame Microsoft for that one. Once they introduced their achievement point system in Xbox around 2005, everyone followed suit quickly.

Well, of course. In the 90s, any "server" was piloted using a text 80x25 terminal, over RS232.

She did. And if you read between the lines... 1990s : Captain Marvel - The Kree Empire is directed by the Supreme Intelligence and making war left and right and hunting the last of the Skrull empire 2010s : Guardian of the Galaxy - The Kree Empire is directed by some kind of Supreme Council, a...

Unless I misremember, Transmutation Master was introduced in BC.

No one knows. And that seems to be their objective: you'll go into the movie knowing absolutely nothing except which heroes it begins with, and whose hide they want (Thanos).

The thing is, we all agree there should be content that is doable and rewarding for casuals, serious gamers, and hardcores. The difference is that you can do that by either making the same content for all, and changing difficulties, or making different content. Making different content is...

As if Congress would allow them to cancel the SLS.

No idea, but around here, the Friday 16:00 showing was half full, but the 19:00 was packed (385 seats). Movie did 1.2 millions on the first week in France. For a comparison on first weeks of Marvel last year: - Infinity Wars: 2.5 millions - Black Panther: 1.0 millions

The problem with her is that you've established her as way too overpowered to be easily inserted in existing continuity. She can be used in Endgame, because Thanos, but drop her anytime you have GotG operating "normally" and you get a massive deus ex machina. I mean, she'd solo Ronan's fleet...

Ok, so they are going to get the progression closer to old school: Staggered Classic Content Update: Six Phases, Up from Four, to Address Itemization and Power Gains

They completely ignore Agents of Shield. It was already complicated to figure out how Coulson wouldn't know about the Kree, despite Shield having been clearly involved in all those Kree-Skrull shenanigans, so they simply decided to ignore all of it. Even if Fury didn't tell everyone about the...

The official trailer came out just a month after Ragnarok, so you can see clearly his eye patch.

Nope.

Eu-side, that's often the case where you end up seeing only cyrillic around you because it left you in the russian zones. I didn't see it too much, but my guildmates would frequently complain in guildchat being stuck in the SU :)

She does the job is the right way to say it. She frowns (mostly), she smiles when asked to, but there's about not much spontaneity or personality injected in the job. And of course it does not help she spends quite a lot of screen time opposite Jackson who does Jackson things.

This is probably the best time to have a Kree fighter crash on earth, and be moved to the Tahiti Project for investigation. Which might be one of the post-credit scenes? It would fit. Current speculation is that it's a side effect of the Un-Snap.

For some reason, I thought someone was adapting Vinge's A Fire Upon the Deep since that's the only place I can remember the name Aniara being used.

It's probably going to be exactly as hard as the original - after all, they're using the original data and scripts. You just know the strats already before entering the zone. The big difference is that everything is going to be available day 1. You're straight into 1.12. If you rush faction...

500M$ seems a bit high, but since it's already at 350M$, why not.

This requires a massive retconning of Magneto's origins (which might be required, since he's starting to get pretty old now).

Real actors love playing the right bad guy (or girl). Wannabes don't want to sully their "image".

I love this ISS. "This time, we do everything in full control. But when it's the soyouz docking, we have to pretty much stop everything on the station and let stuff happen" (hopefully for best remained unsaid) Also the fumbling with the seat footrest. I could very much imagine the guy "ok, how...

That steam has been the final straw that switched me to Chrome. Because it kept dropping every 30s on Firefox, but it has been stable & HD (720p, bleh) for over an hour with Googlebrowser. Fuck you google.

It won't. Do you really think Marvel would let political bullshit interfere with their money machine? The feminists bits in the movie will be: 1) It has an overpowered female main character and she solves everything on her own 2) The main character has always struggled against whatever, and...

Apparently: 1) The original client does not work... well on a modern PC. 2) Their server architecture is completely different now, and they would have to redo everything anyway because the original HP Blade design costs a lot (vs on-demand virtual servers today) So most of their work is spent...

They tried to remove flight already once. It didn't go well.
