    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    This is actually weird timing...it was on pretty late the other night a day or two after I posted that. I still think it's bad, but maybe not as bad. It's still no Demolition Man, imo.

    Interstellar (2014)

    If black holes don't exist, something else does that essentially functions exactly like them, does...isn't that the general consensus at this point? As for the movie, it's definitely deep in the feels and very good, although I agree the ending isn't great. The original script would have been a...

    It wasn't THAT convoluted, the twist just took a little thinking. Agreed the big question mark is how Jecht originally got to Spira to go on the pilgrimage before Yuna's...from what I recall, he was practicing blitzball somewhere and came into contact with Sin, which transported him to Spira...

    I kind of thought the whole Sin attack on the summoned Zanarkand was to allow Auron to go get Tidus, and start in motion events to hopefully allow Tidus and company to end his father/Sin once and for all.

    Because even if they totally fuck up the game by remaking it, we'll always at least have this trailer, which is virtually perfect for what it was to announce that IT was finally happening.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    So much this. Although atmosphere is very muted it seems save for when they were announcing Tampa players (its in Tampa). Games should liven it up some.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I don't think he's that bad, but I think he has a ceiling that isn't that high. I don't see him being a top 20 starter even, and that's just not good enough in the league today. I think he can be a very solid backup and spot starter, though.

    @Xadion hope you weren't getting the impression I didn't like the game. I still rank it #2 among FF games and it is one of the best RPG's of all time. I fully understand it wasn't "day one" when you catch up in WoR, I just an already great game could have been even better, and Kefka could have...

    Evil clown who you spent most of the WoB just beating and trolling steals the Emperor's idea with the Statues and causes a calamity. But...didn't "destroy" the world. Just reshaped it. I'm not trying to say the World of Ruin was bad by any stretch, just weird to not have any direct...

    Who was the other hot chick Woody got to bang in S1? Like after Daddario and him fell out and all that, was some other young chick that got naked and looked good.

    I really kind of wish it was still turn based too...but knowing they're going to try to snag new players or younger players with the remake too, figure I just have to deal with the action based combat.

    I agree it's an issue with VI, that most of the people who praise it endlessly never bring up. Still think it's an amazing game and solidly #2 overall for me among the FF's...I just wonder if they were up against the deadline or didn't know how to incorporate any real interaction between the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Almost 90% or more of that whole Yuuzhan Vong shit was shit. I just remember Salvatore getting a ton of backlash, with people not realizing that the plot point of Chewbacca getting killed was something forced on him into that book.

    Yeah I never played the anthologies version of VI since I have it for my SNES. I don't own a GBA so I'd need to find an emulator. I thought V was okay on PSX, I mean the story wasn't the best, but as many have said about it, the job system was just a blast to play with.

    Yeah I started way back when with the original, never played 2 or 3, and I've never played any remake or new port of any of the games other than V since it didn't get released here on the SNES. I think that's weird that your rose tint for IV ruined VI for you. People with nostalgia for the 16...

    Damn FF rabbit hole. This always happens. Guess I'll avoid XV for now, and try one of the remasters. Probably IX or X, easiest for me to get back into.

    I liked the sphere grid because it reminded me of 7 a lot in that the design was you could essentially completely customize your party, didn't have to have set jobs, but you had to really get late game/grind in order to open that up. Materia system was similar in that it didn't let you have...

    Don't really need an emulator unless I wanted to play 1-3. Still have working SNES with 4 and 6 playable, anthologies for PS1 with 5 and 6, and own all the other titles after it. Sad thing is I wish I still had a working copy of 1, I have a working NES. But not like that one has a lot of...

    I actually loved the sphere grid, was the first leveling/system that I liked after VII's materia (VIII's draw/junction bs I hated, and IX's learn skills from weapons was okay, but limiting). But much of those type of things are just hit/miss with individual people. Much like how above someone...

    This assumes the food cost would stay the exact same, which most of the time it would not if you're ordering more product. Often placing larger orders lowers the price per unit, or deals where X amount of successive orders get cheaper and cheaper.

    XIII not a high bar to clear. XIII down there with VIII as pretty much the only bad FF's since IV (imo). But I do see a lot of mixed stuff on XV, but a lot of them rank it middle of the pack.

    Wow that bad? Stuff I'd read said most of the early game up to a certain point wasn't that bad, but that the final third the story kind of goes to shit. Wasn't expecting it to come anywhere near my top 5, but thought it would be better than that. I played a lot of XII when it originally...

    So question, got a PS4 and I'm itching to scratch final fantasy bug while on a break from XIV. Should I play XV, or get one of the remasters (IX, X, XII)? Disclaimer that both IX and X are in my top 4 of them all, and I really liked XII for at least half of the game before story got a little...

    It was kind of a weird defense. I could even buy the "project yourself" Force power from Luke. The Matrix like slide out of the way I could have done without. But that "fight" and Luke's role in general during that part didn't bother me all that much.

    NFL shouldn't be too upset about it. Frankly I read a lot that old XFL/NFL Europe gave a lot of players/coaches a chance that otherwise wouldn't have had one, and NFL found some guys that ended up being good players. Could function as a minor league of sorts.
