    I watched the first hour of this. Incredible, especially in front of the pyramids.

    Ashes of Creation

    Disappointing to read the bad reviews. I had such high hopes for this one.

    The Pitt

    Wife and I started our rewatch of season 1 a few nights ago. Even though I know what to expect, some of those "tougher" moments still punch pretty GD hard. Not sure what's more brilliant about this show - the writing or the acting. Hell, some of the patients are so good, you think they're...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    LOL. This thread degraded into a pile of shit bigger than the actual game itself. And that's saying something.

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    I’m also one of those who occasionally checks in on this game’s development progress. Every time I do and catch up on all the latest buzz about it, I always come to same conclusion - I just don’t want to play EQ anymore. As much as I loved the grindy, XP and rare camping gameplay from twenty or...

    Ashes of Creation

    I've only been keeping tabs on this one from afar due to where it was in development. I understand PvP was always planned to be a big part of the game but I always assumed it would still be a PvE-centric game at it's primary core. Based on what I'm reading now, am I correct in understanding...

    The Thing (1982)

    More times than not, people "demand" sequels only to be disappointed. It's like they need to be protected from themselves. Just say no to the sequel here, John. It will likely be garbage and will tarnish what is an otherwise legendary movie. Even more than it already has been (see 2011).

    Ultima brings back so many memories. I started with 2 and loved it. Then finished 3 before going back to play the first one where the villain was Minax. Ultima 4 was awesome for me and my friends. The four of us were pretty much locked in my room for almost two weeks playing it non stop. I...

    Elden Ring

    For the actors? Of course. But you aren't behind the scenes watching the director give that instruction, direction, and inspiration to those actors so please explain how you the viewer are seeing the effect of all that? Or how you the viewer are able to discern where great directing ends and...

    Elden Ring

    Um, no. Not once, ever, have I ever said "Gee, the directing here really sucks". Fucking no one does. But there are tons of examples of dialogue that is absolutely and utterly cringeworthy, or shows where you wonder wtf they were thinking casting x actor for y role. Neither is anything a...

    Elden Ring

    I mean, you're definitely not wrong. But as much as people might fantasize about her responding to that potential scene with "Awesome! I've always wanted to go completely nude in front of the camera", it's quickly replaced with the much more likely response of "and that's where the CGI comes in...

    Elden Ring

    It's also too bad they can't make a stipulation that in order to be cast in the movie, you had to have played the game previously. Cavill of course being a prime example.

    Elden Ring

    So many focus on who is directing in these video game adaptations but IMO, it's way more about the writing and the casting as to whether or not it's worth a shit. That very well may be true for all movies but specific to these types, they get them both completely wrong the vast majority of the...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    The population on Dreamscythe (PvE) has been massive since release but I never really paid much attention to what that means from a raiding guild perspective. That is until this past week with the release of phase 5. The semi-HC guild I'm in had most of it cleared by Wednesday and Cthun down...

    Monsters and Memories (Project_N) - Old School Indie MMO

    This is exactly how I feel as well.
