    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    IMO Chris Rock saved Will's career last night. Because he was getting ready to unload with another line which probably would of got Will to start charging him and then a real fight breaks out on national tv.

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    He wasn't even reacting to the actual GI Jane bit. He was reacting to his wife's and the crowds reaction. Then Rock says 'it wasn't that bad' which probably reinforced in his mind that he should do something. People say it was staged (it wasn't) more because of Will's almost rehearsed...

    The Last Kingdom

    Just finished this and I thought they did a good job of tying up Uhtred's story. The season as a whole is probably not as strong as earlier seasons but still pretty good. As far as the 'overdone female aspect', a lot of the show is actually based on history so I don't think they went too...

    14 Peaks: Nothing Is Impossible (2021)

    I watched this a month or so ago and the guy is amazing. The 7 month timeframe is insane and some of the challenges were logistics issues that was out of his control (ones in China for example). I thought it was a nice story that his mom survived long enough to see him complete the challenge.

    Lost Ark Online

    I'll join in and say that the questing is laughingly bad but at least they are done so fast that you just mindlessly blow through it. It's a little be easier to take when your typical quest is to collect supplies but it only requires one or two and your done. If it was more like WoW where you...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I think the bigger question at this point is what is the future of Battle.net going forward. Because I can certainly see a scenario where not only is MS going to offer the games in Game Pass, they will also sell the games beyond Battle.net, namely Steam (isn't this what happened with Destiny?).

    What's ironic is by the time this does get fully approved, it'll be just in time for Overwatch 2 to land on Game Pass (assuming that's still a thing).

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    I don't think so, there are plenty who will play the older COD's in a heartbeart but didn't want to buy them since they almost never get heavily discounted. And as mentioned in the other thread, adding WoW without the sub fee brings more subs to Game Pass.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    Yea that was my first thought. Plus the entire COD franchise. Next question is how much is the Game Pass fee going up.

    The value of Game Pass continues to go through the roof.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    I thought it was ok, not bad and not great. The sarlacc stuff in the beginning was neat. I've watched enough shows by now to know not to judge any series based on episode 1. I also think people have this glorified image of Boba Fett when it's not reality. Even in ROTJ he goes down pretty...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Was a good game almost felt like a playoff game. I like how the Canes fought back to tie but once again (like last year), penalties wind up being the deciding factor toward the end of the game. I don't think we play the Caps again until March which is weird.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Should be good, I expect PNC to have a decent crowd despite the early afternoon start. I was getting a little concerned since Canes had been in somewhat of a scoring drought on this road trip (despite still winning) but they made up for it somewhat yesterday against Philly. Also for all the...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I think only question for me is get it now or wait for christmas sale. I definitely have the PC to run it as it should be, it's just a question of devoting time to it (currently devoting time to Forza/Nioh).

    I'm thinking about it too. Is it worth $30?

    Forza Horizon 5

    Having lots of fun so far and this thread is helping with tips etc. The Forza Horizon series really is Burnout Paradise City on steroids and that game is GOAT level to me in terms of arcade racers. The amount of cars is almost overwhelming but in a good way. What do you guys think of the map...

    Midnight Mass

    Re: the winged vampire...that actually makes more sense. For some weird reason I assumed it was the priest dying that controlled the 'miracles' but it's wasn't his blood, it was the 'angel'.

    Midnight Mass

    I thought the show was pretty good although a little dissatisfied with the ending. Beyond that though I still give it 7.5/10. It's an interesting take on a vampire story.

    Dragon Quest: The Definitive Thread

    I have a weird history when it comes to Dragon Quest. I was very much into DQ1 on the NES (it may be the 1st or 2nd RPG I ever played) but for whatever the reason I never continued on with the series. Played DQ2 but never finished it and then I haven't played any of the others. Part of the...

    Pretty much. I'm told none of these amounts include donations beyond everything else. Nick is up there 5m and Tim for 3m, those guys make way more than that.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I think the cap space and the potential upside made it more worth it. He's not even going to start at C. As for the Canes offseason, I'd argue their goaltending is at least as good as last year. I hated losing Ned (Mrazek was gone no matter what) but everyone made him out to be the next...

    It be neat if Nick moved over as well to complete the circle but I doubt it.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I mean everyone thought Montreal was going to get smoked by Vegas so anything is possible. The only difference this time around is they are going against the best goalie. I still favor Tampa because you have to but it wouldn't shock me if Montreal won. I think like the Vegas series though...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    If Tampa wins tonight it'll be pretty fascinating to see Tampa's PP against that Montreal PK. A lot of time I'm watching Vegas in this series it just seemed they were skating into a brick wall anytime they entered the offensive zone and then if they did get in they had to deal with another wall...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    It wasn't that they shut down, they committed some really dumb penalties and allowed Tampa to come back with PP goals. You can't keep putting Tampa on the PP and expect to win, I don't care how many goals you are up. It was probably the most frustrating game they played all year. The good news...

    Apex Legends new free to play battle royale game from Respawn

    I like Apex but I also noticed that due to the smaller map size, it feels like you get ambushed a lot. There have been plenty of times when we're in a firefight with another team and a third team rolls up and shoots you in the back. But at least you are constantly moving unlike COD which...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    The point is good teams find ways to create chances and give themselves a chance to win. I think I heard that the Leafs had 'one' odd man rush the entire game. Yea give credit to Montreal but like I said if your a good team (with expectations to go deep this year based on the regular season)...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    It's not only about if you lose but how you lose. For a team that obviously has more talent and playing at home (fans or not), the effort looked so bad like it was just a regular season game instead of a game 7 to advance. Literally no fight until the very end when it was too late. Some of...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    I was hoping for a better effort these last two for the Canes but whatever. Nashville is pretty good when healthy so it's going to be a tough series.

    Twitch.tv

    I had actually forgot about this but who remembers 'booth babes' at E3 (or practically any other gaming convention)? I mean that kind of stuff was actually promoted on gaming websites. As far as the 'stealing viewers' argument, even some of the top streamers themselves (including female...

    Twitch.tv

    Maybe part of the problem is a lot are treating Twitch as a platform as one thing (a gaming platform) when it's really not. It's a social media platform, no different from Twitter or Instagram or YouTube. Also this idea that it's primarily minors but where is this coming from? Twitch...

    Even Twitch don't describe themselves as a gaming site. Twitch is where millions of people come together live every day to chat, interact, and make their own entertainment together.

    If Twitch is a gaming platform, then why are they hosting the following streams (current viewer counts) Music - 70k viewers Talk shows and podcasts - 14k viewers Food and Drink - 11k viewers Science and Technology - 5.7k viewers Art - 15k viewers None of those are even in the category of Just...

    Yea there are tons of streamers out there but there are very few (maybe 1-2%) that make enough money to live comfortably. It's not just about playing games for 8+ hours. The streamer has to basically be 'on', providing content all day every day plus if they are smart they are doing things off...

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    Yea from what I read they really weren't that close to a deal (word was he actually didn't get along well with Waddell), dude wanted to get paid. I also wonder how much buy in he would have under Rod and his coaching style.

    NHL 2021 Irregular Season and Plagueoffs

    At the time most Canes fans were surprised by the trade but Carolilna was never going to sniff anything close to that contract. Plus you can make the argument that trading Skinner opened the door for Svech and Necas to shine.

    Aho and Necas are amazing and this was shorthanded. I understand it's a weird year but Canes are special this season.
