Ever since we saw the electricity-less New Vegas at the end of Season 1 (and the ruined NCR vehicles in the credits, if they're canonical), the assumption was Bethesda had wimped out and said "Whoever you picked won in New Vegas! - and then everything got blown up five minutes later, so it...

Set photos highly suggested filming in multiple time periods (pre-war, New Vegas, and show era), so Mr House scene is probably New Vegas (given the elevation, probably Lucky 38), but a personality copy like a Yes Man in show era is also possible. Voice almost certainly is a Super Mutant (we...

Considering how volatile component pricing (especially RAM) is right now, I doubt they'll list any prices until pre-orders (if any) just before launch. Most estimates are in the $800-$900 range, but made with no actual knowledge of Valve's bulk rates with AMD, nor continued component price...

Yeah, 4k with only 8GB ram kinda requires FSR even if the video chips could handle it natively. To be clear, the mass market does not have great hardware - the most common video cards on Steam are still 3060 and 4060 families - but depending on when this comes out in 2026, this could look...

Unless I am forgetting someone, the only repeating character

As someone who played Vampire Survivors this weekend (the free Balatro DLC and the free addition to the previous paid-for Castlevania DLC), I am always up for more Vampire Survivors. Somewhat odd it is its own executable - the assumption will be James Workshop wanted more than DLC pricing for...

Steelers defense can't even handle the 5th and 6th backup Oline the Chargers are throwing out. I really think its the Chiefs again for the AFC. The Broncos have no offense, the Bills have no consistency and lose to mediocre teams, the Patriots have been beating up on chumps and how they handle...

Well, yeah, but then its not just ~13 characters anymore. The show explicitly mentioned people in orbit as well - both Y: The Last Man and Last Man on Earth added characters through astronauts returning from orbit. I _think_ we're headed into ugly philosophical dilemma territory. I highly...

It's tough to bet against Gilligan's track record, but I don't see how you can have a longrunning show with only ~13 characters (the 12 immune and The Hive Mind). Especially if most of those other characters have indeed internalized that the world they knew is effectively over, so why not enjoy...

I actually hope they don't redo the original trilogy We've covered that material, and other than the ending, its hard to imagine they'll do a better job. Give us the Human / Turian war, then the biotic revolution and you have more than enough material for a couple seasons.

I think even modern Lego is too angular to ever make that saucer look good. Given that I'd never spend $400 on nostalgia items, I admit I am weirdly triggered by the minifigs(?) - Wesley is clearly Season 1, but Riker's beard is Season 2. I guess they are aiming for the most memeable /...

The chronology seems kinda fuzzy to me - why would the cops do the welfare check if they knew he was the target of their canvas. Seems more likely to me he made comments to someone about killing himself, starts driving (probably north out of the city to do that), is distracted and commits...

Yeah, the limitations on which bonuses scale or not limit the wackiness compared to Mists Remix. The biggest sticking point to me is movement speed. Your warband doesn't inherit it and you don't get bonuses to it from thread drops. The only source is via armor mods, which are capped at 49% to...

Yeah, Remix is only like 25% over, AND the number of (daily clearable) raids increases each phase, AND there's some unknown catchup mechanic starting three weeks after Argus opens.There's still more than enough time to do everything before it ends. Hell, given that you can convert these...

GB / Carolina was a windy, offensive injury mess on both sides. Only GB was possessed by the ghost of Favre, however.
