    Battletech

    I was in on Kickstarter Day 1. The combat-only beta was solid. Turn-based combat with a decent learning and skill curve. The campaign looks frickin awesome.

    Cloud Atlas (2012)

    Finally saw this since it's on Netflix. GF tuned out 10 minutes in. I turned it off after 30 mins. Seems like it could have been good but just didn't work. Google "Cloud Atlas sucked" for about 1000 explanations of why...

    What are your Top 10 games on Steam by Playtime?

    Below stats are pretty good estimate on how long it takes to finish a full game of some of the longer RPGs up on Steam now. I install a game, finish it, and don't install anything else until its done. I don't go for absurd achievements or ever do 100% of side quests. Grim Dawn - 193 hrs...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Here's a great rundown of the Mirror Universe timeline from all episodes involving it in other shows. FYI they are following TOS canon fairly close (at least on this) since Mirror Kirk was a tyrannical captain and Mirror Spock was a subjugated Vulcan given elevated privilege...

    Camelot Unchained

    Especially MMOG which is the most complicated game possible. Think about the *bare minimum* you need to develop and ship a game by type: + single-player only: (1) game executable, that's it + single-player with multiplayer additions (like say Borderlands): (1) game executable, (2) game...

    Stellaris

    Soooo .... Stellaris vs the Master of Orion reboot ... tried to get into the MOO reboot multiple times but got bored and uninstalled. Is this much better? MOO reboot seemed like a sure thing with the base game mechanics and quality voice acting talent. But .... just could not get into it.

    Doom/Stoner Rock

    Both these bands have heavy 1960's Sabbath, Hendrix, Santana psychedelic vibe. Solid albums.

    Doom/Stoner Rock

    Uhh yeah so, Tool + Mastodon + The Sword had a baby. Best metal release in any sub-genre IMHO in a looooong time.

    Anyone got a pic of Shelly?

    At least it doesn't have the full on vag shots. Still get shivers remembering that.

    Justice League (2017)

    Finally saw this. Some of the reviews seem ... overly critical? Was better than any other DC movie save Wonder Woman or Watchmen. Thin plot and uneven but still entertaining. Some genuine comedy bits. The Flash-Superman interactions were awesome in the same way that the "can Hulk lift Thor's...

    Black Mirror

    San Junipero episode was one of the best pieces of recent sci-fi in any medium. It equally explores aging, death/dying, virtual reality, and consciousness like nothing else I've ever seen.

    Marvel's The Punisher

    MCU TV shows ranked by TomatoMeter. Punisher rank is complete horse shit because it has gun violence and was released behind the Las Vegas shootings. In my book was easily as good as DD or Luke Cage. Inhumans 10% Iron Fist 17% The Punisher 64% Defenders 74% Runaways 82% Daredevil 86% Agent...

    Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

    Agree with most of the above. Zero tension because everyone is a secret super ninja. Entertaining but basically a 1.5 hour long video game cutscene. But apparently that is what they were going for so can't really complain.

    Man is it just me, or have bit-coin miners fucked everyone? Nothing I have seen, so far, for Cyber Monday or Black Friday comes even close to last years deals ...

    Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition

    Will definitely be worth it if it includes the Shadows of Undrentide and Hordes of The UnderDark expansions. Played through those from level 1-40 with roommates at the time and it was pretty epic.

    Lmao but the trailer actually looks good. 80's arcade game + The Rock + Negan

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Was pretty awesome. Possibly the best looking movie ever. The world-building was fricking incredible. Everything was futuristic but realistic. Anyway, I don't buy a fucking single word of any "movie lost money" rumors. Ever heard of Hollywood Accounting? These are the same people that laughably...

    Nice job. Really does look like stone. A full set of those will look badass.
