    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I will eventually, I keep it there for now because for next few days I’ll keep switching them until I’m fixed on what I think is the best way to display them, then it goes into my accessories drawer since a lot of statues have options and I keep all extra parts in there for easy access. I tend...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I haven't posted statues in close to 3 years now. Price hike, slowdown in Sideshow's Court of the Dead series(which is what I was primarily collecting) made it so that I became a bit more picky, then COVID hit and made my job security a bit iffy, I decided to stop altogether until things...

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    That’s an interesting observation, I never saw Avatar in 3D because I can’t stand 3D, it always gives me headaches. So for me Avatar was never about the 3D and I’ve enjoyed and rewatched it quite a few times since it’s release maybe because my enjoyment of it isn’t tied to 3D in any ways it...

    Ms. Marvel

    I thought it looked fine, fit the tone of the character in general. This is a show which I am not the target audience and I'm totally fine with that, not everything has to be about me. That said, I'll probably give it a chance since I have watched all the MCU stuff so far.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Obi-wan is the story of someone who just saw his entire religious order destroyed by his best friend, which he then had to kill. He goes to live on a desert planet to watch and protect his best friend's kid. He eventually turns into an old hermit. So yeah, this being kinda dark would made...

    The Adam Project (2022)

    Thoroughly enjoyed this, great mix of action, comedy and drama. It was just a really enjoyable movie.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Talent isn't required if you check a minority box.

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Looks promising to me, it was pretty cool to see Inquisitors in live action.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Finished the story at around 80 hours. Still have some stuff to do on the map. I loved the game. It’s basically superior in almost every way, like combat, gear, exploration, the machines, the side quests etc. The one place it felt short it’s the main story, don’t get me wrong I thought it was...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I am far enough that I have swimming, and the thingy to open both blocked paths, basically stopped the story after that since I wanted to open up the world.

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I've gone off the main quest completely for the last few days and don't see getting back into it for a while. I'm doing main quests, exploring, doing jobs to increase diverse bag sizes, upgrade weapons and armor and just wandering around. I'm killing stuff I have no need of killing just because...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    I'm over 30 hours and most of the map is still covered, and I keep getting distracted by markers. I think I played 3 hours last night, and thought I'd advance the main quest for a bit, but never happened, did like 3 side quests, 1 cauldron and bunch of other markers that keep pulling me toward...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Well looks like Martin St-Louis doesn't understand the concept of tanking a season to get the first pick. He's actually teaching these players, giving them some work ethics and we won 3 in a row, we're still last but not for long at this pace. Seriously though, while the season is lost. I think...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Sometimes I feel like I'm Wile E. Coyote and the machines are Road Runner. I make this perfect plan, and set up traps and tripwires...and a few dodges later somehow these machines have lured me into my own traps and I die. I looked at the traps and tripwires and they are not made by ACME, so...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    So 25 hours in, just left No Man's Land at level 22. I pretty much did all the POI on the map in No Man's Land, except those that required tools I don't have yet. Did all the side quest I found. This is such a small part of the part of the map though. Unless the other areas are empty, I'm...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    After playing for 2 hours before going and now playing another 4 or so. I love the game, although that was to be expected since the first is probably my favorite game of all time. I haven’t reached the Forbidden West yet, but have done pretty much everything in available so far. All quest and...

    Horizon 2: Forbidden West

    Woke up early(I'll pay for that later I'm sure) and managed to squeeze in 2.5 hours before going to work. Game looks gorgeous as expected. Nice story recap, and it does a pretty good job of throwing you in the new story. I'm not that far, stopped just after I reached the credits. So far it's...

    Lost Ark Online

    Lost Ark is definitely pay to win for me. I paid for it, and I'm having tons of fun with it and that is a win in my book. :)

    Lost Ark Online

    So made it to 35 last night, continuing my slow progress toward 50. I enjoying the journey even if I have to admit that this is one of the worse questing I’ve done in an mmo so far. The story is not very good, the writing is bad, the voice work even worse. Still I’m going to read everything at...

    Lost Ark Online

    I made it to 20 last night and did the first proper dungeon which was pretty cool. The writing and voices are pretty awful so far. The questing while uninspired moves you forward most of the time. Get a quest in Hub A turn it in Hub B, then pick a quest in Hub B to turn in in Hub C, very...

    Lost Ark Online

    Played a few hours last night and made it to 14 or so. I'm taking my time as usual on first playthrough as you can only experience it once. I played in Russia a bit, but not to very high level, mostly just tried different classes. Once I know I would enjoy the game I stopped and waited for NA...

    Lost Ark Online

    I hate that I have to work tomorrow, maybe I’ll get lucky and get sick during the night…like too sick to go to work, but not enough to stop me from playing video games. :)

    Sifu - PS4/PS5/PC

    The sad thing with their fucking cultural appropriation is that it's no longer possible to pay homage to another culture.

    Reacher

    I just finished this, enjoyed it. Fairly by number type of show but well executed with decent cast. One thing I like was the pacing, it didn’t feel like it had any filler which is a big plus in my book. I’ll watch a second season if they do one, hopefully they have an interesting cast of...

    Ghostwire: Toyko

    Yeah, not sure how I feel about this. It looks interesting but so fucking weird, like I'm not sure I can tolerate that much weird in my game...still looks interesting.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    That was a cool episode, love it, they crammed so much into it. The major disappointment for me was Ashoka and Luke. I wanted so much to see their first meeting, and have Ashoka tell Luke about Anakin, not about Vader but Anakin as she knew him for years. This is such a missed opportunity.

    Lost Ark Online

    I'll be going to play this with 2 friends with whom I've been playing since EQ1 early days. We usually take our time, read and do every single quests, and try to do most content just the 3 of us when we can, we group with others if absolutely needed(what can I say we're old and grumpy). We're...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I wasn't sure if I would get a new PC when my current would die or finally become too old. 6 years old, I7-5820K and GTX980 since I do most of my gaming on consoles these days. Well the day finally happened and my PC passed away, MB died on me. So big decision to make, do I get a new PC or...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    The series has been improving over time, I agree with the comment someone made that Bryce Dallas Howard has done a great job directing in the last episode and the 2 she did in The Mandalorian. I wish she directed more of these, she’s better director than actress. I have hope for the remainder of...

    Babylon's Fall

    Maybe it’s because it has « Fall » in the name but this gives me some Godfall vibe. I should be more excited by this because I essentially like these gam3s, but this seems boring as fuck. The no mobs while exploring and only in arena type area within the tower sounds awful.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is me playing these games encountering the first boss... Brain: Ok, he's doing his special attack. Hands dodge left. Brain: Hands please dodge left now. Brain(panicking): Hands, dodge, dodge, dodge Monster swings and kills me. Hands: Message received, dodging left now. Brain: I'm too old...

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    There are weapons, you can be many classes each with their own weapon. You can switch class mid-combat between 2 if I remember correctly from the demo. The classes are typical FF classes like Dragoon, Red Mage, White Mage, Monk, Warrior, Black Mage etc…

    Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin

    I played the demo when it came out. I thought it was ok, not enough to make this a day 1 purchase though for me, but also not bad enough to write it off . I'm still going to wait for reviews.

    Everquest II

    Sometimes I consider trying this again, there's a lot I liked and there's tons of content I haven't seen. Then I remember the bloated action bar and I remember why I haven't played it in years
