    The D&D thread

    The Trove has PDFs of (just about) everything D&D has ever produced (as well as almost every other tabletop RPG). 5e Tools is the best online site and if/when it is taken down, I will weep.

    King's Bounty II

    And no sign of having a horse or a flying horse/dragon?!

    King's Bounty II

    I put way too many hours into all of the King's Bounty games. It scratches an itch that the old Might and Magic always tickled, only without the need for the town mini-game. I am not, at all, excited for this. The change to the art style/graphic style is hugely jarring. The gameplay (what...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    There will never, ever be a World of Warcraft 2. Blizzard no longer takes chances. A second MMO in an already overly saturated market would be financial suicide, unless they could guarantee that they had bottled lightning again - which they cannot. Anything they shat out would be a middling...

    The D&D thread

    Maybe for a quick one-shot for when your regular group cannot get together... but for a character I have to/intend to play for an extended period? No way.

    Silo

    For All Mankind was good, if I had to pick a company to do this, I would pick AppleTV.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Issue with that, in terms of being a fan of the setting, is that ESO is all set in the past. The way, way distant past. I wanted to see how things shake up in the future.

    Wheel of Time

    However, most of the main cast is 'deliciously diverse'. (All black) Egwene. Nynaeve. Perrin. Mat, Thom, and Moiraine are white, though.

    Wheel of Time

    Nope. Rand is white. Josha Stradowski.

    Love, Death & Robots

    This season was a disappointment compared to the first, which while having a few stinkers (Yogurt episode and the Blue pool cleaner one), was overall amazing.

    The Green Knight (2020)

    Taika Waititi played Adolf Hitler in Jojo Rabbit.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    That requires the game being good, which means you need to have experienced developers and people with a vision. All they have are Yes-Men and people trying to get into the business. Blizzard has hemorrhaged talent in the last decade, with the last three being catastrophic.

    Full trailer is out. I am stoked for this.

    Hearthstone

    Quillboars are the most fucked up thing they have added to BGs in a long time. Worse than the pirate or elemental or even murloc meta.

    MTG thread

    Tiamat feels super weak for her cost and lacks flavor.

    Stellaris

    Not only does it grow slower, there is a population CAP based on each society/player, that after which, it goes so slowly that it might as well not at all. Slavery, releasing and then reintergrating, and robots are the 'new' meta to get around it. Supposedly, this was the 'final band-aid'...

    Stellaris

    You will never get enough population to fill them. The population change is probably the worst decision they have ever made, and this is from someone who abhorred the changes to everyone having to use stellar lanes, rather than the three different methods (Wormholes for life!).

    Shadow and Bone

    It is absolutely based off of a young adult novel series, so... That is to be expected. They took a lot of liberties with the casting (but it is Netflix, so at least we only had one black transvestite as a side character), but this turned out better than I was expecting. The CGI was good and...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    I never understood why jet fighters would be anywhere near close enough to get hit by a tail swipe. I get if they were scrambling... but they are over-the-horizon fighters.

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    Kano, Jax, Subzero, and Scorpion are the only people who 'felt' like a character from the game/story. The rest of them were either better in the 90s version or were not in that film. (Saw your edit now. Yeah.)

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    Watched this in English this time... Still not good, not bad. The only fights worth watching were the Sub-Zero/Scorpion bouts. Kano was the best character. Cole is trash, unlikable, and just pointless. Weird ass Goro looks like low-tier CGI Hulk. Regularly, this would be a 4/10 - Not good...

    Invincible

    So good.

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    The only thing I liked about Shin Godzilla was the mutation idea. It was relatively cool, but did not feel much like Godzilla at all (and yes, he has 'mutated' in the past - but never to that degree.)

    Shadow and Bone

    Not sure what they are doing with this... they seem to be pulling characters from Six of Crows/Crooked Kingdom, which comes 2-3 years after the end of the first Trilogy (Alinka/Darkling/Fold/etc), which begins something like 5-years before SoC/RK. The CGI looks good, but I do not trust Netflix...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    HAHA. You wish. You need Renowned level 59/60 to buy the item that unlocks flying. If it holds to 3 Renowned per week, that is a fun wait of 7 weeks after patch drops until you can unlock flying. If it is only 2 Renowned per week, that is 10 weeks. And you will not be able to fly in the...

    What did you just read?

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Temeraire series, I wish there were more like it (that were not complete trash). Book 6 was the only book that was a pain for me, primarily due to I finished the latest book in the Cradle series, Bloodline last week. It... was a disappointment? Way too much time spent...

    I enjoyed the book, but it felt like a drop in quality from the previous few.

    Yep. This is probably my biggest issue with the film.

    I thought they were doing three episodes a week, seems it is only three the first, then one each week, which sucks.

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    I have very little interest in future Kong solo films. Godzilla is just a better design and 'character' in my opinion. As for enemies... they really splurged most of them already. The only enemies 'bigger' than King Ghidorah would be Hedorah, Biollante, or Destoroyah. Out of those, Hedorah...

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    Godzilla ate one of the heads. I will echo what I have said with every film... Less People, More Monsters please. Godzilla being so fast/quick in this was a bit of a disappointment. I prefer him to be a lumbering, inevitable doom, rather than a cracked up lizard fighting turbo monkey.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    This has been the wish/guess of many people. But I doubt they (Blizzard) could pull it off with the current crew. It would (likely) require a reworking of plenty of the 'old world' and we all know how well that went with the player base in Cataclysm.

    I mean... there are four different CAM recordings that I have seen, but yeah, not a good HD drop yet.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Out of all of those, I have only 'heard' of Craftopia, Hello Neighbor 2, and Stalker 2. Which, Stalker 2 will not be on GPX-PC, despite what that says, apparently.
