    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Samsung TVs will feature Geforce NOW and other streaming services soon. Kind of feel a tipping point approaching, but there are some housekeeping items like bandwidth going the way of international minutes, etc before we're really there. We also need some household/family plan for some of...

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Thought it was a fun bit of world building in a world we know so much about already. From sets to music to even minions, the fan service and callbacks were great but fitting, looking forward to where it goes from here.

    Don't Look Up (2021)

    Reminded me of Downsizing. Some elements of what could have been great (and with this wild cast), but they went way overboard with the crazy in the third act. Concluded strong, shedding all the real life analogs to actually wrap things up and reconnect characters. Wish there was a more...

    Utnayan backlog challenge: part 2 ends Jan 31

    I like these, but mostly B/C, to expand participation and keep it objective and less of an administrative burden. Do it quarterly, when beating a game you have to post the proof, HLTB points, and maybe your running total (games and points, provide a template in the OP for that quarter, which...

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    They even had a mission or two where they took like 7 people with them it seemed like... was one of those 'well you extra people are dead' moments.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    One thing that really bothered me early on in the movie was the flashback stuff. It felt like it was for the audience, as if we wouldn't get the references, rather than Neo. And then they kept going back to that well over... and over... and over... and then again... and again... it felt like...

    The watch didn't have just a SHIELD logo but also A19, Agent 19 is Mockingbird. Not that they couldn't handwave it away, Agents of SHIELD fans are disappointed as that was Adrian Palicki on the show.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    Slept on it and... yeah, just no. It isn't even an over the top spectacle worth seeing on a big screen just for the visuals. Regardless of how you felt about the different movies of the original trilogy they tended to have that going for them all else fails and this one couldn't even do that.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    I put Sony a step behind WB when it comes to competently putting together super hero movies. Marvel props up a lot and adds so much to their joint productions that it's jarring compared to their other efforts. I'm hoping Morbius is a gem they've failed to produce on their own for once (like...

    Ready or Not - - Tactical 1st person SWAT

    I picked this up because it looks great. A bit steep for my group to yolo into it, but we spent like half a LAN on SWAT 4 and this is basically the sequel to that that never came. Watched a group play it the other night, was hilarious.

    Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021)

    And when we get to that story there will be 2-3 lines or a scene to set the table for enthusiasts and newcomes alike to explain what's going on like any other movie that leverages prior content. There's nothing required about it, and the 'cartoon' was always said to be canon to the MCU -...

    Succession

    I appreciate recaps and stuff because I'm not the best w/ nuances at times, allowing me to make sure I got the overarching meanings, the buttons being pressed and the threads wrapping the way they are. The big thing to me as this episode concluded is it felt like a reprise all the way back to...

    Thank looks great, lol. Looks like a better version of some of the 90s coming of age movies I enjoyed when I was younger like Can't Hardly Wait, Never Been Kissed, She's All That, etc. I wouldn't be able to get through those now probably, but not shy about admitting I liked them at the time, a...

    That was from Monolith, and they announced the Wonder Woman game at the VGAs. Haven't seen anything rumored and they haven't put out multiple games w/in a year or two of each other before, so not much room to hope for a sequel at the moment.

    Yeah, expecting something similar. Mom the big bad of the company, maybe someone like Madame Masque. I do hope Swordsman does end up being a good guy otherwise Clint stealing the Ronin sword left out there for him will seem like a really silly plot hole. Right now there are too many bad guys...
