    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    My blizzard launcher doesn't mention Remix whatsoever, so I'm thinking popular opinion has soured shockingly quickly. And to be clear, there's two separate issues: 1) Scaling in instanced content is detrimental starting in the 60s, bordering on unplayable at 70. 2) There's no clear progression...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Fired up a new character, and even with Infinite Power XII, the cloak started as +150 Main Stat +750 Stamina +150 Versatility +100% Experience Gain That's it.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Looking around, it sounds like anyone 60+ in instances is likely hosed due to the scaling, and even the final quest lines in Dread Wastes and the point release content can be lethal depending on class / number of mandatory adds. (It also sounds like this is nothing new, and Chromie time has...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Note that scenarios, dungeons, and even raids are queueable long before 70. In fact, I would recommend it - NPC offensive abilities at 70 seem totally broken. I'm not sure if this is related to even level 70s not getting their jewelry slots until achievements (i.e. clearing all scenarios and...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I'm level 60 after 11 hours (with by no means an optimized play style), so again, this is a really good way to knock out those Heritage armor set achieves. I have not seen any firm math on when it is best to farm Bronze, however. I believe additional characters will start out with better cloaks...

    Married with Children Reboot

    At this point I remember three episodes about Married With Children: Anthrax (since I was a metal teenager) Aliens (Isuzu!, I think it was) Kelly as a trivia champion whose brain fills up (Polk High) So yeah, I don't have the greatest reverence for it, but animated is probably the only medium...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think Pratt is still under contract for another movie or two, its just that he's connected to the James Gunn divorce and Marvel isn't touching that subbrand as a result at the moment. (Hell, the Guardians 3 credits specifically say 'Star Lord will return', not the Guardians.) Downey could...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Stretegically, releasing what is essentially Pandaria Season of Discovery right after Cataclysm classic and soon after Classic Discovery seems like a good way to split your playerbase to even more absurd levels. In practice, the new rules do lead to interesting gameplay results in the moment...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    My born in the early to mid 90s coworkers all had the opinion that the prequels were action packed and fun and the originals were boring. Some of them with time have at least realized that Empire (and to a lesser extent Star Wars) are quality beyond the action, but not all of them. The sad...

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    Is it a flop though? Don't get me wrong, it won't make its budget back, which is a bummer given the stars, director, and craft involved. But Covid shutdowns, streaming options, and generational shifts have really hurt box office trends, likely permanently, in a way that movie budgets haven't...

    Where are all the MMORPG games? lol

    Much like RPGs, its because they aren't a genre, they're an element now. When even your Call of Duty has a persistent online background level with tiered rewards, all games are MMORPGs now. Some games might hide their gear resets behind a seasonal pass facade, both to push fomo player...

    Fallout

    Hank doesn't have the codes to cold fusion specifically, he has Vault Tec administrator access. There's no real reason Hank or Betty would know who Moldaver was pre-War - there's no evidence Betty was more than just a secretary, and Hank was at best a newbie manager just turned from executive...

    I hope this finally confirms for people that the Bills are rebuilding, and aren't a piece or two away anymore.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    I'm not that offended by Atlanta, Cousins didn't make it out of last season in one piece, someone will have to cover in stretches over the next two+ years. Especially when you see how much the likes of Flacco still end up playing.

    As much as I hate them, the Bears are having things go their way. Someone is getting screwed on the QB front now - guessing Denver?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    As someone that plays just enough WoW to not miss out on whatever I want out of their current FOMO-based seasonal content model they've moved to, Human Rep Bonus _is_ the most powerful racial trait, by a landslide.

    Fallout

    Cryo tech is another lore aspect the show completely botches - Fallout 4 suggests the whole point of that Vault is to test the technology, yet Vault 31 has already deployed it in bulk (and presumably that's what Moldaver used), and if the ending credits are canonical, the Ultra-Luxe in Vegas has...

    Fallout

    Obviously Cooper gets found out and Blacklisted / canceled & divorced between the finale and the opening scene (I'll leave whether that's the show saying 'Blacklisting is un-American' or 'Blacklisting Communists specifically is bad' as an exercise for the reader), but it is another case where...

    The chalkboard has Shady Sands 'falling' in 2277 (presumably when it loses political power, with the NCR Capital moving elsewhere), with the arrow indicating the nuke is chronologically after that date. But if there's a functioning Shady Sands in 2281 (and nothing in New Vegas suggests it is not...

    Fallout

    7.5 / 10 Its one thing to adapt a fixed narrative game like The Last of Us, where you can essentially cut out the gameplay bits and film the cutscenes with people on sets, but adapting an open world game like Fallout, where the only thing all runs will have in common is visiting a handful of...

    I was super disappointed by Predator 2 when it came out - too much of a rehash, and no Arnold. Compared to the likes of Aliens vs Predator, though (or a ton of other action movies made in the CGI era), in reality its not bad at all. Hell, even Predators looks better and better as time goes on...

    Fallout

    The elder refers to Maximus' friend/rival as 'their', so its probably just nonbinary, which is far more plausible to happen in that setting than surgery and a drug regimen.

    Fallout

    Only had time to watch the first episode, the Vault part of the setup seems super clunky at this point - there are Vaults connected to each other (which ruins the hermetically sealed experiments), and raiders have obviously entered Vault 32 from the outside and blew up the door separating it...

    It's been stated that the show is 'canonical', taking place after the existing games: Fallout 3 - 2277 New Vegas - 2281 Fallout 4 - 2287 TV Show - 2296 We'll see if that's still the case whenever Fallout 5 is released, but there were a lot of side mentions about ecological collapse headed to...

    Invincible

    That Season 1 finale set a high bar, and the show may have already been renewed prior to them finishing the season two finale, but that didn't wrap up much, and even brought up old material (e.g. the pharaoh) for no payoff.

    The Matrix (1999)

    No, some combination of Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon gave us Cabin in the Woods. Now, I have a soft spot for Bad Time at the El Royale, Goddard's only other film directing credit (entirely Whedon-free), but your likely lack of memory of that movie suggests a lot of Cabin was Whedon, not...

    As someone that has never Battle Royaled, this is hot aids. It would be one thing if it was a permanent side mode (that you could engage every once in a while, like BGs nowadays), but with it only running 6 weeks, you need to commit to getting a level in this basically every single day its...

    Fields is also due a new contract after this season, which is not necessarily the case for everyone else being traded. Between the Bears starting from scratch, the Vikings fielding the all cast-off team, and the Packers newish and relying on Josh Jacobs to stay healthy, the Lions must be pretty...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    If the Vikings didn't think Kirk was worth $100 million in cash guaranteed, them not resigning* him isn't shocking. Unless the Vikings have a trade lined up for a spot that will get them a QB, however, them spending money like they aren't the third best team in the division doesn't make much...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Quickhacking got the biggest nerf in 2.0 - whether you have the dlc or not, everyone is playing by the 2.0 rules. But in 1.0, you could drop a contagion or two through a camera and completely clear out a building without seeing (even on camera) 80% of the enemies. In 2.0, Quickhacking is still...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Keep in mind, were these salaries or 'salaries' that were almost never going to happen in reality and would have seen a restructure if the players were good enough to stay with the team, probably driven by backloading contracts during the covid-driven salary cap shrinkages?

    Yeah, there's a god damned Shady Sands sign at 0:37, NCR having zero presence is extremely odd. Even if you head-canon a truce between the BoS and NCR ala New Vegas, they wouldn't allow whatever militia is led by ethnic girl power at 2:23. Edit: Missed that the militia(?) is waving an NCR flag...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    Keep in mind, teams could easily get a league minimum Wilson at less than half a percent of their 2024 salary cap to start AND draft a QB to start later this year / next year. That said, given how little Wilson will be costing his suitors this year though, I see no reason why he would throw...
