That was due to the regular purges that took place at CN / Warner Brothers. Similar to the problems at Sci-Fi Channel and a few other basic cable outlets where some lower-executive in the parent company gets shoved into an organization and feels the need to change everything just to make a bid...

And that's a wrap. Ending went about as well as I could have expected. If they do a S.W.O.R.D. series on Disney+ I do hope they find a way to bring Deke into it. I grew to love that weirdo.

I was really hoping they weren't going to slap some lipstick on Scourge Invasion and send it back out...but I should have known they would.

Well not looking forward to this anymore. But excited in that this may lead back to renewed focus on the Third Series in animation form.

Yeah you have to suspend disbelief when it comes to something like that. In all honesty the good guys had no business winning any of that fight.

Warner Brothers swung the axe wide yesterday: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dc-comics-dc-universe-hit-by-major-layoffs-1306743 1/3rd of the editorial staff are gone in addition to the evisceration of the DC Universe team. Odd they have not officially cancelled DCUniverse now...

You are not filling me with confidence here...well not confidence IN the product anyway.

This is out now. It is not at all what I was expecting. I expected a story that quickly tied in all the reality stuff from the other two. Instead we quickly go on a Connecticut Yankee bit with zero connection to 3Below. I'm only through the first two episodes so it may switch it up later.

At this point they are still in the 1980s so no one is around. Too late for classic Ant Man of the 60s and too early for even Captain Marvel

It's set shortly after the TNG movies from what I can tell. So still way before Picard.

Oooooo. This could be really good.

It was definitely a pilot episode, all about setting up the situation for the situation comedy. Most of it was common enough humor stuff and would probably have been funnier if the same jokes had not been told, better, on Robot Chicken. I did like some of the digs at how stupidly exceptional...

So the next Pre-Alpha (...sigh) Test is scheduled for Sept 5th. Remember that Pre-Alpha access can be yours at the $1000 tier!

I gotta say the show did not disappoint with respect to the ISA's evil plan. They had to make the number be as high as 25% so that the good guys would still have solid reason to do what they are doing. If it had been, say, 0.25%, it would still mean several hundred thousand people but the...

The Beta impressions coming from the gaming media are not encouraging. Most seem to be of the flavor of "I really wanted to like this but..."

Flashback Fitz is still Fitz!

Same things happened to me! I was so excited (stupidly so...) and then very disappointed.

Did the original ever come to the US via streaming etc? Ive never been able to find it :(

We should not be surprised by this because it's absolutely in the playbook for Square Enix and Sony. Does not make it less sucky though

Orville was cancelled by Hulu officially so the upcoming 3rd season will be the last. It's production space is being taken over by the new Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy series which already has a two season commitment.

Yeah the bones are definitely there. There is quite a lot of stuff that is well done, but the character abilities / progression is gonna be a deal breaker for a lot of people unless they toss it in the garbage and start anew.

I still wanna play the game from those cinematics....sigh.

The aiming mechanic makes Magic straight-up garbage. If you are really careful you can accomplish with magic what a sword wielder can do while facerolling. The actual abilities are just total horseshit as well. The UX for them is bad and the overall reward is actually negative. You are less...

Season 2 is now live and the first episode jumps right back into the thick of it. I'm eager to see more.

So it's Guild-Wars. Run around using your weapon to get skill with it and unlock all your abilities within the first few hours of playing and then it's all DAOC-like stuff. Don't care for the targeted abilities and that whole arcade-style combat. Not sure what I was expecting, but this ain't it.

This is now live and seems enjoyable enough. I dug the first episode at least. The lack of proper voices isn't too bad, but it would be so much better if they had the right actors.

Also on PondScum. Managed to get to the same point RE: world data and am now back in a queue. 2624 and counting.

Can we hope that in the finale we finally get to see Daisy unleashed? Puhleaaaze?!!?

This is very commendable. Anyone who is taking a fundamentally different take on the new hardware cycle is doing it wrong.

The Sith Eternal and the whole Sith Fleet etc. are such a waste of an idea. The concept of the Empire continuing on as a cult of rabid loyalists is a good pivot after Return of the Jedi, but the First Order did that schtick already. The bigger issue is that no one hears about the Sith until a...

They are adding heroes it seems... They just announced Hawkeye as a post-launch hero.

Looking through the Art of Rise of Skywalker you really get an impression that there was a much more visually engaging version of the movie just out of reach. There are some amazing visuals and concepts they developed for it which got tossed aside by JJ in favor of much more pedestrian designs...

So AMC and Universal kissed and made up. Theater exclusive for 3 weekends (17 days) before digital release.

I have to imagine that they are using the whole 'time works differently in the Shadowlands' to explain why there will be a big-ole-reset-button type bit for the expansion that follows. We leave the Shadowlands and find that Azeroth is, again, very different than when we left (despite the fact...

I do think that Microsoft has a winning formula with the GamePass business. I've played many games now that I would not have touched were it not for GamePass AND gotten some games that I wanted badly on day one.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/7/16/21327330/microsoft-xbox-one-x-s-digital-edition-discontinued Only Xbox One S will still be made. The others are DQ'd already.
