    Confess, Fletch (2022)

    It's been like 30 years since I've seen either Fletch, but Fletch was not stupid himself, right? The personas he used were frequently morons, but he never was. Did the people involved confuse Fletch with Clark Griswold? And why the hell would you cast Slattery! Let's have the audience cringe...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That's a really reductive summary of the last decade and a half. It was blah blah blah Garrosh, _then_ blah blah blah Sylvanas.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    Yeah, I hadn't purchased any expansions since Forsaken, so I: Booted into the 'Hive Queen now has ghosts!'... but exited out to fiddle with drivers, and came back to forcibly be in a different mission where Apparently Ikora is dead and I am following her ghost or regrets or something around on...

    I don't even think Jeffrey Dean Morgan thinks of himself as 'lead actor from The Losers', or 'One of the many Thomas Waynes killed off in movies over the years' - something like 99.9% of the populace knows him from The Walking Dead.

    Saints Row 5

    I think I would probably play Mass Effect: Andromeda before this, but can't we just call it a prequel? This being crappier than even Saints Row 1 sounds extremely onbrand.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    I really haven't played Destiny in years, and figured I would knock out some campaigns 'for free', but why did I get a set of 1540 Dreaming City-themed armor / assorted weapons? Do they have return boosts depending on what expansions you've bought in the past (if any?)

    AFC Ravens Bills Chiefs Titans Patriots Chargers Bengals NFC Packers Eagles Rams Bucs Cowboys Cardinals 49ers Obviously I am least confident about the Packers. I don't see two teams getting slots in the NFC North regardless.

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    The completion REDCATED video is like 1/6th the space in the install. (The menu 'video' and TV clips are actually the majority of the install.) I've long lost the free time to go down itch.io rabbit holes, but it is amusing to see how much artwork and storyline flow are the only things you...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Far from home was _good_, but how much was nostalgia for the old movies? Structurally, its kind of a mess, relying on Ned being a better wizard as a noob (at least at sling rings) than the goddamn Sorceror Supreme, weird inclusion on villains (Electro knew Spiderman was Peter Parker, but didnt...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    6 games against the rest of the AFC West and 4 against the NFC West? That aint the easiest material. Those AFC South games are another story. Actually, with the AFC South and an iffy NFC North for the NFC East, could we be looking at playoff spots for the Eagles and Cowboys? Ew.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Do we know if we will have to have an ATX 3.0 supply for these (or at least a PSU with a 12+4)? I bought a 3080 earlier this year so I personally am cool letting that shake out before I move to the 4000s.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Uhh, neither Patty Jenkins nor Taika Waititi's movies have casting, scripts, or are really in production, right? No movies until 2025 isn't necessarily a policy change, that sounds more like simple math on how far along they are now. (I guess 2024 is still vaguely plausible, depending on how far...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    All the combat forms get pretty ridiculous until the end game (on low difficulties, an int build can contagion entire buildings to death without seeing a second enemy, and crippling + circle strafing to insta takedown cyberpsychos is preposterous), but at the end of the day, you pretty much have...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I believe you also have to have chosen certain dialogue options during one specific quest (when you find where Johnny's body was buried). There's no real advantage from picking the other options, you just knock yourself out of seeing a set of endings yourself (not on Youtube) unless you replay...

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Even worse, that invalidates the whole threat of the FBI in this movie! He wants to stay out of jail so he can see his kid grow up, then _immediately_ loses five years out of her life!

    Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania (2023)

    Ant-Man & The Wasp is definitely not the worst Marvel film, but its definitely the most forgettable. (It's also the most outright comedic MCU film, which may be related.) Part of it is the villains: Ghost has clearly gone past 'the line' mentally, but doesn't actually do anything to make her...

    While Deadpool is the only unscheduled production that is far enough along that 18 months from now for February 2024 seems reasonable, with the movies on that slate, how would mutants get introduced prior to Deadpool? (Unless that is all The Marvels is really about?!) Personally, I would think...

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022)

    Just think all this has to cover: Immediate post-snap (Bassett's 'everyone in my family is dead!' speech is probably here): who becomes king, probably invasions by pesky white people, maybe some snarky commentary on how many Wakandans died in Infinity War because Wanda wouldn't just kill...

    Oh yeah, this entire Phase 4 / Phase 5 division just sounds like marketing nonsense.

    Secret Wars was before my time, but that has to be a continuation of Kang Dynasty, right? I suppose the Avengers (whoever the hell is in the Avengers, that is) could fuck up the timeline enough that the Beyonder portals them in, but that doesn't seem like enough setup.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Obviously I just played through it for the first time, and assuming you are playing it on modern hardware, its fine. (It's certainly more of a full product than The Outer Worlds was.) Yeah, its an 'Open World' where the main quest will tourist you through the city in specific order, and any...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    PIcked this up once 3000 series became available, but I appear to be stuck: Now that I have seen all three main endings, the game isn't resetting to Nocturne once I hit the credits. I don't have the Point of No Return save (because why would you keep that after you start getting Ending...

    Frankly, even SB's reaction to the gay couple read more like 'This us what they're doing now!?' than 'Time to murder'. There is no textual evidence for the racism, its standard democratic dogma that all nonwhites are flawless and any white that is over 25 or so should be cancelled if not murdered.

    Bullet Train (2022)

    All kidding aside, off the top of my head, the remainder of 2022 has Bullet Train, I guess Shazam 2, and then, solely for trainwreck value, Black Adam, Black Panther 2: Electric Boogaloo, and Avatar 2? We're still not back to a normal movie roster.

    Noir's healing factor didn't fix his head, it seems unlikely to fix these wounds. But comic rules apply, without a corpse, they're fine, and even with they can come back.

    Meh, until we know there's a final season there won't be any massive bloodbaths. But I am already cringing at the idea of an entire season of Trumplander doing election bits from 2020. Woof. Also note that killing Soldier Boy is fine because he's a 'racist', despite little evidence of actual...

    Clerks III

    Early 20s me borderline loved Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, more because it was taking shots at other movies - the Good Will Hunting 2 scene is probably the best thing Smith has done in his career, and that is utterly not witty or dry. I literally forgot Jay and Silent Bob Reboot existed...

    As much as a 4th / 5th might hurt Baker's pride, the assumption was that everyone would just wait until he was cut. Here, the Browns still get something out of the deal tradewise and get someone to pay part of the salary.

    The Terminal List

    It was fine-ish. Like a lot of recent properties, it is tough to shake that this wouldn't have been far better as a movie. Say what you will about Without Remorse (and I literally hadn't thought of that movie until I started watching this show), but at least that got in and out in one sitting...

    Spronk, your 'Work Rules' bit is completely misleading. Starlight risked her life to get Kimiko permanent Compound V, but will break up with Hughie for using the temporary version. But let's be honest, the show is Butcher and Homelander (and maaaaybe Hughie). Everyone else has no long term...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I would say this movie is disappointing (given the involvement of Raimi, Elfman, etc.) but not bad - between the brief actual multiverse bit and Wanda's takedown of the Illuminati, there is more memorable here than a ton of other marvel movies (everything not Spider-Man in phase four, Thor 1/2...

    Frankly, do we even know if current Black Noir is 80's Black Noir? Neither his burnt face in Season 2 nor his arm in this episode look particularly black. I honestly expect some sort of twist on the tracker front - either Noir removed it to _join_ Soldier Boy, or to hide from him to prevent...

    Starlight doesn't say enough to force Homelander to go into take-over-the-world mode. Instead we'll just get more Fake News Homelander as Trump material. I would guess the finale is Soldier Boy goes after Mallory for Nicaragua info and threatens Ryan, and Butcher has to choose between saving...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    The WandaVision TV show retcons that Wanda had magic powers all along - they were why she and Pietro survived experimentation with the mind stone, not the other way around. It also states that Scarlet Witch is a title (for any magic user powerful enough to create a new reality on the fly), not...
