    Remnant: From the Ashes

    Me and my buddy been playing this largely co-op splitting between our two worlds back and forth. Anyway we had a horrible bitch of a time with Ent to the point where we were doing raid-boss type tweaking and calling out 'mortar mortar!' over party chat etc. Was such a rush to win though and...

    The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)

    Finally watched this last night and quite liked it. It really deserved to do better at the box office. I also lost it at 'Oh My God you people are terrible at communicating'

    Given that the Kingpin was used in Daredevil for Netflix, what is the status of Spiderman TV/streaming rights? Could Disney do a Tom Holland Disney+ series for the MCU?

    Remnant: From the Ashes

    Borderlands comes out in 3 weeks and that is the pre-designated 'BFF' game my crew has been waiting for. I think this is too much like and releasing too close to Borderlands for us to grab it.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Spiderman global merch sales were $1.3B in 2014, presumably it has only grown since then especially given how popular the character is in Asia. Disney gets 100% of all the merch currently so they aren't hurting.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    5% first dollar gross might not be 5% is all they get, just that they start earning money on day 1 vs. when it turns a profit. However the structure likely meant that Disney's total stake was fairly low given that these movies do most of their business in the opening week(s). It's hard to see...

    This looks insane... not necessarily in a good way.

    Better Than Us

    Russian series that is somewhat like Detroit : Beyond Human. Probably of more value because of the insight to Russian culture than its own virtue.

    Eliza -- mental health / AI "visual novel"

    Saw a blurb about this and decided to try it out and finished it in one sitting. Very interesting and thought provoking sort of interactive novel that is sort of a low-key Black Mirror kind of scenario. What got me the most is how much it feels like the game stole from my own life, but in a...

    Krypton

    I don't see how basic cable of any variety survives at this point. The demographics show that the baby boomers are the dominant viewers of live TV and they are gonna start expiring soon.

    Krypton

    Not surprising as SyFy keeps entering into these deals that are fundamentally retarded. They only get rights for primary live distribution with no streaming rights beyond a short window post airing. This fuckery is further compounded by advertising revenue that is locked to live+7 with a huge...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Even as space opera I would expect more of a character arc and less of a character cratering. Padme should be the ultimate tragic figure of the first trilogy, a strong character who becomes completely undone by her connection to the anti-hero Anakin. There is some of that in Episode III, but...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Episode I -- Padme is a strong queen of action, throwing herself in danger and blasting folk. Not someone to fuck with. Episode II -- Padme is a strong senator fighting for peace, flying a starfighter and kicking ass in a skin-tight white catsuit. Not someone to fuck with. Episode III -- Padme...

    Age of Wonders: Planetfall

    The overall setting is very Warhammer 40K with a bit of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda thrown in.

    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

    It does look fantastic. I imagine Henson would be happy as the original was the project he had the most pride in.

    Another Life

    I thought for sure that whole plotline about what to do if the aliens are hostible was just an elaborate ruse they were playing on the enemy AI because they knew what was going down. NOPE They gave a Death Star superlaser to a ship crewed by moron 27 year olds. I figure they had at least a...

    Had not played an AoW before but picked this up and have been playing Multiplayer Online with a buddy. Quite fun especially with the simultaneous turns.

    She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

    It helps that Scorpia is voiced by Lauren Ash from Superstore. They did a smart thing with the characters in this show by fleshing them out and making their quirks work. The best part about the original He-Man and She-Ra was the interactions of the villains with each other. Most of the good...

    Another Life

    One horrifically redeeming quality of the show is the prediction that 'news networks' become functionally replaced by some "social media influencer" with 250 million followers. I fear that is very close to where we are now.

    She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

    Season 3 dropped today and I've already binged half of it. Note that what we are seeing as 'seasons' are rather short so season 2 & 3 together is just 13 episodes. Season 2 ended on what would be a mid-season cliffhanger in another setting where we had a full 13 episode run. The core premise...

    In this era they wouldn't be able to fat shame Ogres away from being a Paladin. You could have your cake and fuck it too.

    I booted this up in 4K and immediately went to 'on your left' and rewatched that whole sequence like 10 times while pausing and taking in all the details.

    Another Life

    If you are going to make a near omnipotent and omniscient AI you naturally make sure that he is completely oblivious to 90% of the things that go down on the ship. Also -- I hate myself but after the finale I kinda wanna see what happens next. This is despite, and maybe even because of, all of...

    Dune (2020)

    Genderswapping Kynes is a null-issue. Nothing about that role needs to have any notion of gender. I researched the SciFi Dune miniseries the other day and while the effects have not aged well, the overall presentation is still quite good.

    Another Life

    The characters : they sent people in their 20s because we are more physically fit and mentally willing to take risks older people aren't. Me: they sent people in their 20s because everyone of you is expendable. That's why they crew a ship with like 80 more red shirts in cold storage. Crew...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Should replace MDI with a 'sealed box' variant where each team is launched into a completely empty shard / virgin account at level 1 and they have 8 hours to farm a snazzy outfit / mount combo as evaluated by celebrity judges according to a theme.
