    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    NCSoft pulled all of their games off of Steam a few years ago when Valve made it a policy that all DLC had to be sold through their storefront (which obviously meant less of a cut for NCSoft). I was sort of wondering what would cause them to back off on that and finally give in with Wildstar...

    Constantine

    I wonder if Netflix's deal with Marvel would prevent them from picking up and producing a DC show.

    Sense8

    While it doesn't look like it'll rank among the top Netflix shows, it looks sort of fun in a "turn off your brain and enjoy" way.

    Gotham

    Aside from Jim inexplicably deciding he needs to save Falcone when there hasn't been any indication up until this point that he believes Falcone is essential to Gotham's survival and aside from Falcone inexplicably deciding to retire out of nowhere, I wasn't too disappointed with this episode...

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    Harley reminds me of Gwen Stefani: Also, countdown to people bitching about what Harley's jacket says in 3... 2... 1... It's more in-line with earlier versions of Croc where he was a man with scaly skin who filed his teeth to points. I think it wasn't until the 90s where his name became...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Really, Simmons is an example of the "Break the Cutie" trope. She was poisoned and almost died, one of her friends turned out to be a traitor, her best friend got brain damage in an attempt to sacrifice himself, the guy she had a crush on was turned to dust, etc. Basically, she's just had...

    Gotham

    I think we're supposed to take it as her just sort of snapping, even though she looked like she was having an LSD flashback. As much as I wish Peter left her in an alternate timeline as he's wont to do with girlfriends, perhaps this is the start of them doing something interesting with her...

    Does Sheldon from BBT count for killing quality sitcoms?

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Gemma made it pretty clear she wanted to kill Grant ("Poof, no more Ward"). Fitz didn't do much to object her aside from saying "Wait, you're serious?" And then she sort of half-heartedly gives the excuse of "arming ourselves against him." Keep in mind, when this conversation is taking place...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I doubt this episode would've been filmed within the last two and a half weeks. I know I defended her in the past, but I'm starting to have a hard time accepting the direction they're taking Gemma. I know a lot has happened to her, but for her to go from the mousy lab geek she was last season...

    Valve adds paid modding

    The wording definitely makes it sound like they aren't just completely throwing this out but going back to the drawing board. Considering how vehemently people were against paid mods in any fashion, I'll be really curious to see what form that takes. After this blow-up and retraction, I don't...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Actually, wasn't it in her first appearance when she came to apprehend Lorelai? Though, I really have no idea how the Avengers could still be ignorant of Coulson's resurrection. It's not like the guy has been keeping a low-profile. Regardless, Coulson's primary role in the movies was...

    Valve adds paid modding

    Meanwhile, Skyrim's rating on Steam has dropped from 98% - placing it among the highest rated games on Steam - to 84% over the weekend.

    Valve adds paid modding

    That's because people forget that Gabeisa corporate business man. He's been put up on a pedestal over the years for reviving PC gaming and doing a lot of pro-consumer things, but let's be honest, the bulk of that was driven by a desire to run a company and make money. That's completely in line...

    Valve adds paid modding

    I don't think Valve should get a pass because Bethesda is the one that decided to take such a such a big cut from this. Ultimately, Valve is the gatekeeper, they are the ones that set up the system, and obviously they were okay with modders getting 25% or this never would've been released...

    Valve adds paid modding

    I'm mostly wondering how this will impact the collaborative nature of the modding community. Now that there's profit involved, they've all essentially been put in competition with each other. Why share my work with another modder if that results in a mod that might undercut my own?

    Valve adds paid modding

    I do wonder how people would've reacted at this if the modder got a much bigger cut. It's hard to buy that Valve is doing this for the good of modders when a majority of the money is going into Valve and Bethesda's pockets. It looks less like rewarding modders and more like Valve just carving...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Well, I guess we now know where they're going with the spin-off now, not that it's any big surprise: Adrianne Palicki & Nick Blood Eyed To Topline 'Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Spinoff

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Looks better than I expected, but then I didn't really have high expectations to begin with. It does seem like it's going to have to be a plot heavy movie with how much set-up they have to do, but maybe that's a good thing since Man of Steel was basically a 90 minute brawl. Also, I think...

    Preacher

    That's been the rumor for a while now. I liked him on Agent Carter, but I'm not familiar enough with Preacher to say whether it's a good pick. Sort of interesting that they poached two actors from Marvel shows though (him and Ruth Negga from Agents of SHIELD). It makes me wonder how this...

    Gotham

    Fish's weak impression of Earth Kitt has started to make sense, except I think she's had way more than nine lives by this point. I'm amazed a bullet was able to get through all of that plot armor.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past.

    I guess it wouldn't truly be an X-Men movie without at least one pretty face that can't act.

    Hannibal

    She's been upped to a series regular (from guest star), so she should be in most of the season.

    I actually like Paget Brewster's character, except she seems like the type of character they would've come up with if Alison Brie left the show.

    Survivor

    You know, we've had seasons before where we complain about people being dumb players, but this is really the first season I can think of that's dominated by truly and outright dumb people. Like the average IQ of the tribe has to be in the teens, and that's only because Carolyn and Tyler bump it...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Obvious candidates would be either the Olmos/Bobbi/Mack version of SHIELD turning into its own show, or something with Grant since he's mostly become irrelevant (though that may change next week) and yet the writers apparently don't want to get rid of him. I just wonder if Age of Ultron will...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I don't think he'll be revealed have some nefarious plan going on in the background. His agenda is pretty clear: His wife got killed by powereds, so now doesn't trust them and wants them all dealt with. That's a large part of the reason he wants to take SHIELD away from Coulson. Coulson...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Gonzales was testing her: Either May trusts him and believes he's part of SHIELD and won't fire the gun, or May believes him to be a traitor and will. May chose the option which reveals nothing: By telling him the gun wasn't loaded, she leaves unanswered as to whether or not she would fire it...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    It was sort of dumb for May to say that. I know she didn't have time to explain everything to Skye, but Skye was previously in quarantine and has had people looking at her sideways since her powers were revealed and has basically been imprisoned by Coulson. To tell her SHIELD is after her...

    Dear god, that tribe name... I don't think Mike realizes that when people use "Merica" is it so mock overly patriotic rednecks like him. More power to him, I guess, for embracing the stereotype, but I can't believe so many people were willing to go along with that. I'm really surprised they...

    Better Call Saul

    Chuck blowing up because of the propane is a little too on the nose for a Vince Gilligan show. Besides, Chuck has presumably been using propane for most of the time he's been sick. It's not like Jimmy runs to his house every time he needs something lit or cooked.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    He wasn't the only one firing real bullets. The agent that was struggling with Skye also fired one when Skye was trying to disarm her (which is what led Calderon and Bobbi to them). Clearly NewSHIELD has a "Dead or Alive" policy and didn't listen to Bobbi's instructions, which could be...

    Better Call Saul

    I think Jimmy's biggest mistake was springing the law degree on Chuck. Up until that point, Chuck saw Jimmy as mostly just a screw-up and for good reason, and one day he just shows up with a law degree? Perhaps Chuck would've been more accepting of this if he saw the hard work Jimmy actually...

    I say good. He could use some personal experience with how ridiculous this country's media is. It'll give up a leg up on the cynicism it took Jon year's to build.

    House of Cards

    I don't know that it wascompletelyout of the blue. We've seen Claire exhibit moments of conscious over the course of the show - her relationship with Adam in the first season, breaking down after Megan Hennesey's suicide attempt, even to some degree her desire to become pregnant. The problem...

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    If Comedy Central was determined to promote from within, he's probably one of the only ones that would make sense when you take out everyone that is either leaving (Bee, Jones), busy with other projects (Madrigal, Mandvi, Schaal), wouldn't fit the style of the show (Black, Hodgman), or doesn't...

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    Hopefully they connect them back to the main plot within the next couple episodes. Ward really doesn't have any involvement in the inhumans stuff that's the primary focus, so it just feels like he's doing his own thing and is sort of irrelevant. I imagine he's going to do something with Hydra...

    Better Call Saul

    I could see them being something like childhood or adolescent friends. There's a sort of closeness that comes with being friends with someone since you were much younger. I could see this being a situation where Saul has had a romantic interest in Kim for a long time, but she views him more...
