    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    i mean, that's basically what it was though. spidey and x-men, and to a lesser degree f4 were the only comics that would consistently sell well. everything else all came in waves. like i said, cap had some great stories. thor, ironman, punisher, hulk all had some great stories. SOME great...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    being one of those comic book fans... yeah... probably? the avengers, up until the MCU, were different from the justice league in that with the justice league, it was a collection of the best selling characters. with the avengers, it was a group of less popular characters who had trouble selling...

    The D&D thread

    i pointed out several times that i know exactly why dm's do that and i'm absolutely fine with dm's running their table however they want to. i'm just saying that as a player, rolling a nat 20 and not succeeding feels bad. and at the end of the day the entire purpose of dnd is to have a good...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    it took a minute to track this down... it's all rumor and speculation. i had heard it through the rumor mill and everyone just seemed to be passing it along but didn't have a source. however, i found this, i think it's the origination of the rumor? basically chris gore (who seems to be fairly...

    The D&D thread

    i know a lot of DM's do the same, but i don't really agree. though i do understand that it forces the DM to adlib on the spot and come up with a reason for how that scenario happened, and i understand that that skill isn't in everyone's wheelhouse. that being said, there are plenty of times when...

    the druid IS pictured... she's the redhead. like i said, i don't disagree with you but it seems like your own anger is blinding you. go visit a zen garden or something, it'll be good for you

    The D&D thread

    so officially, if you aren't proficient in a skill, you can only use it with disadvantage. if you are proficient you can roll regularly as well as give the "help" action to allow someone else who is proficient in that same skill to roll with advantage. some DM's allow anyone to roll and don't...

    The D&D thread

    i don't fully disagree with your assessment... but... i don't think you can count the "feminized, low-iq, white male 'hero'" as following the narrative... at least not all by himself. feminized and low iq is the starting description of every bard that ever lived. bards are awesome, but they are...

    The D&D thread

    i'm not ENTIRELY sure what your are talking about... but i THINK where the numbers wouldn't line up is if your character has proficiency in a certain skill. so, deception (cha) for example. if your character has 16 charisma, he'd have a +3 bonus to any charisma skill (deception, persuasion...

    The D&D thread

    i've thought about this recently... i think a lot of it comes from the history that dnd had in the past. it was something that people were highly protective of because of how society at large looked at it. if you had a regular group you played with, you NEVER talked about it in the wild because...

    Black Adam (2021)

    for what it's worth, the buildings were all empty. it was a pretty great episode because the whole time superman looks insane and extremely paranoid and you genuinely think he's lost it a few times. basically lex built this "city" within metropolis and was unveiling it to the world. it was...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    You are implying that billion dollar companies are taking business advice from YouTubers and I'm honestly not sure if anything is more terrifying for our future

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    yeah... but... i mean, explain it to me in small words because i have a sinus infection and can't concentrate very well... but... either it's profitable or it's not. if it's not, why are they dumping so much money into it? if they wouldn't lose any subscribers if they just dumped the video...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    i didn't pay attention to the box office, just the word of mouth and reviews of uncharted, and no one liked it. i also wasn't saying that lara croft didn't count because she's a girl, i was saying the opposite. lara croft is literally just a female indiana jones. that is one of the first things...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    tomb raider and uncharted are called indiana jones rip offs, the difference is that lara croft is a girl and nathan drake is a mass murderer. uncharted also bombed. those other movies have some similarities but enough differences that the comparison isn't really ever made outside of contexts...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    well, if you make a movie that is basically just indiana jones but not about indiana jones, you run the risk of copywright infringement so you have to make it different enough that it starts messing with the formula and could crash and burn. if everyone behind the scenes is the same, except for...

    Indiana Jones 5 (2020)

    i don't know, man... i'd much rather they replace harrison ford with a younger actor at this point than see an 80 year old as an action star. this isn't some shot at harrison ford, dude is an iconic actor but this is the guy that broke his ankle getting into the millenium falcon a few years...

    Transformers: Rise of the Beasts (2023)

    i've noticed that trend lately. the actual trailer doesn't show that twice, but right as the video starts, they show like a trailer for the trailer for some reason.

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    i mean, it could just be something like how they recast the mountain 4 or 5 different times in game of thrones. they talk about the character WAY more than they show up on screen. from a script stand point it could come across like you are getting way more work than you thought, but the reality...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    There's got to be some analytics comparing users and which aspect of prime they use, as well as user growth and retention, you know? I mean Amazon has got to know the difference between people who use the service for free shipping and people who binge invincible and jack reacher. The dump WAY...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    So benjen quit, he wasn't released or anything. He just cited that he was happy that people liked his character but he wanted to explore other characters or whatever. I get the impression that with everything being reshaped for season 2 they either took adar into a cliched direction or just...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Id be far less bothered by the gay characters if they weren't all written completely identically. They all come across as super effeminate despite their race being overly masculine. I can't tell if it's pandoring or actually secretly insulting to the gay community that the gay characters are...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    when i was doing that quest, i was like, the community at large is going to HATE this quest... but i kind of liked it. it's a completely skippable quest so there's no need to do it other than ocd completionism... but it's just some dude watching the view and thinking about stuff. maybe i'm old...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Yeah, as I was typing it I had the same thought. But it does make a certain amount of sense... So much more dialogue is voiced in FF14 and story takes much more precedence as well. It's clear that's where the money goes in that game.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    The voice acting quality is definitely all over the place... You have a-listers like darin de Paul doing random nobodies you only talk to once, then you get random nobodies voicing important npc's that you talk to throughout the story... Funnily, I recently redid the worgen starting zone since...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Played most of the day without any issues. I was expecting launch to be a mess because it always is, but outside of the boat going afk, I only had one random dc that didn't seem to be caused by anything. I don't know what they did, but after taking the portal at the docks, me and my friend...

    Not "probably," it hands down is the best. It has heart without feeling pretentious and humor without alienating itself, unlike everything we've seen this phase.
