Anyone that doesn't immediately pick 75% levitation has neither read the intro to Way of Kings nor thought about it for even a few seconds - massively reducing your friction has a ton of utility. Actual invisibility in the dark is extremely useful as well, though mostly for questionable aims.

I would hope they allow player power to scale to the same level as MoP - every max level character in levelling gear can solo any raid mob in Legion in seconds, and there's no Mage Tower, so there is literally zero content any player couldn't do with zero risk in the base game today.

They're merging the apps, I hadn't heard anything definitive about combining the subs into one (hopefully lower) price.

Wasn't Season 2 already the back half of Season 1 that was paused when they changed (really, put in) a showrunner and frankensteined the existing episodes? Obviously, Disney has way, way cut down on their spending for original content on Disney+ - I honestly don't know why people would pay a...

Keeping in the N-word during that Pulp Fiction clip? The boys really are pushing Youtube's new profanity guidelines.

Eh, how often is a pinky injury season-ending. Jones will almost certainly start the season now, however.

I haven't bothered with a 5 series either - yet - though deep price cuts might make me settle for a 5070 or 5070Ti non-super until we get next-gen. The elephant in the room is I just don't think we're going to major improvements without a process shrink, and even if Nvidia did want to outbid...

The media story was Bezos said 'We have all the money on earth, where's my Game of Thrones', i.e. a high budget, high prestige genre show, and that he liked the concept of doing a Lord of the Rings show. Obviously, there are a laundry list of reasons for why it is a disaster, from not paying...

There's behind-the-scenes timings as well, there may be 'Movie must be on VOD for minimum X days prior to streaming' clauses, and WB wants this as their big Christmas HBO release. But realistically, if people haven't bothered to get to the theater for this by now, I'm not sure there's any...

To be fair, if it didn't overtake Cap Falcon domestically today, it will tomorrow, and will overtake Ant-Man 3 before the weekend is out. It seems inconceivable FF will hit the $340M Thor 4 hit, much less the $360M of GotG 3, however. Internationally, this is no GotG 3 either - FF had 1/5th...

As Lanx said, Amazon as a whole has publicly stated they're trying to be environmentally conscious / cut shipping costs by trying to reduce the amount (and cost) of packaging materials orders go out in, or remove them altogether as SIOCs. This does seem like a major initiative of theirs - I was...

Honestly, GotG 3 is the best yardstick for both of them. Superman is clearly above GotG 3, and may even hit the $370M mark to overtake The Batman as DC's best domestic post-covid performer. FF... is up or down vs GotG 3 on a daily basis, but is still above where GotG 3 was seven days in...

Only an idiot would bet against the Chiefs, given their string of SB appearances. So call me an idiot, because I want (some) new blood, gimme Bills / Ravens and Rams / Eagles for the conference championships.

If I recall, that's not really the case - instead when Cameron got funding from (then) Fox, it was for a planned set* of four sequels: Avatar 2, 3, and the beginning of 4 all take place in a row, with a time jump before the back chunk of 4 and 5, at which point the kids will all be adults...

To be clear, Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer's wife has existed since the 60s. Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer herself happened in 2000, and significantly predates the Jonathan Hickman run the movie gets a lot of its inspiration from (like Sue as Super Politician) starting in 2009. (Comic) Shalla Bal...
