It's another movie the marketing fucked over by revealing the secret Terminator. As far as the movie itself, it's as unnecessary as any other prequel, and frankly does nothing interesting with the machine war, but compared to much of the early CGI / quick editing era of the time, the action is...

It's been three weeks since I finished NLF and I barely remember anything about it. (I've read seven other books by others since, so that's also a me problem.) Abstractly, I can see the objectives Erikson wanted to hit - update the status of the Seven Cities (still unstable and rebellious...

Even the most positive reviews I've seen say it falls apart in the third act, and even the leftists find the social 'commentary' unimpressive. It's honestly kind of impressive that the combination of Edgar Wright and what's probably Arnold's fourth most entertaining movie (doesn't top Predator...

It looks like the movie ship has that long central section separate from _in between_ the fuel pylons (without hitting them, even when the ship is thrusting at an angle), feed differential lengths of spool (since in docked configuration, those two attachment points arent equidistant from the...

The book explicitly mentions that in a flatscreen era, any display can report anything and thus can all be interchangeable, and points out that he only has mission jumpsuits to wear. 1/10 slop adaptation, do not watch. But seriously, Grace runs into Rocky's ship only 25% of the way into the...

To be fair, the consensus before the season was that the Chiefs were unlikely to continue to win close games at the % they did last year, and would regress to the mean with a more 'expected' winning %. I would say that the Chiefs being in 11 one-score games _already_ marked them as not nearly...

Patriots / Bills / North Winner / Colts / Broncos. That leaves two slots, between the AFC North loser, Jaguars, Chargers, and Chiefs. The Chargers _had_ a great record, but their offense is not doing well. Though the Broncos potentially resting people in Week 18 (if the first seed is out of...

Denver's defense is very, very good. If their offense was even average they'd probably be the prohibitive SB favorite at this point. How far can NE and Denver take their high playoff seeds, defensive excellence, and rough January home conditions? We shall see.

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...
