Wig Wam is definitely feeling the 'James Gunn Effect' right now. I suspect before its done this series will have minted a bunch of new hair metal fans from the Millennial / Gen Z population.

I know I shouldn't care, but I can't help myself... What is the Celestial plan with sending these folks? Ikaris makes sense as he's insanely powerfull. Makkari works as well so long as you let super speed do it's thing. Druig is good for sentient local species herding. Phastos is there...

Noticed when I enter a room or a combat and start to cast a spell as soon as I can that it often fails. Not as in 'fizzles' but rather the whole spell finishes casting and even makes the sound effect (but not the visible effect) but nothing happens.

I wonder what was wrong with the original Vigilante? They shot like 5 episodes before they split due to 'creative differences' and they got Freddie Stroma instead. Its fair to say that Freddie is damn near perfect, so it seems to have been a good choice.

If they were gonna announce any further plans I feel they would have done so during the live-tweet this evening. All the comments from the various actors / producers / writers makes it sound like this is indeed the end... They just made sure to put all their toys away so they could bring them...

The space dogs come from a short story titled Strange Dogs that takes place between book 6 and book 7 and tees up some of the final trilogy stuff.

Final episode is now up. I still refuse to believe they have no plan for the final three books.

Got a very slick purple bow and had some other non caster type gear so decided to try out a ranger. As the only class that actually has ranged-weapon type abilities the overall effect was very underwhelming. As someone else said above I ended up using more Fire abilities and misc 1-hander...

Okay the father thing was a surprise. Vigilante is amazing.

Those are very clearly Vespas... Silencio Bruno!

Okay by the end there was a genuine epic story there which could move the MCU forward, but good lord there was waaaay too much before reaching that point. I concur with the D+ preamble followed by motion picture idea. Could have fleshed things out more while also allowing the core narrative...

I'm very forgiving of genre stuff, but I'm 30 mins in and kinda bored. I suppose we are meant to wonder why they went from babysitting Babylon to being completely hands-off by modern times, but I have negative interest in the Cersei / Jon Snow / Ikaris love triangle.

The Power Rangers biker gang is... Not good. At least we know how to pronounce Krrsantan now.

I have zero interest in playing a female character, especially the hyper sexualized perv-bait that these sorts of games specialize in. It helps perpetuate the stereotype of gamers as hairy knuckle mongoloids AND creates extreme SJW backlash when the pendulum heads back to the other direction.

I guess the thing that bugs me about this sort of game is the same issue I have with some MMO content -- you have to assume failure in order to 'learn' a boss. Makes it feel less like a storied RPG and more like Mario. It certainly allows them to make things challenging without having to...

I actually had looked at the character sheet but didn't see the values there. Completely missed that the values were written on the character portrait at the bottom when I had the character sheet itself open. The spell progression could use some staggering. Original EQ had new spells at...

Am I missing a numerical representation of hp/mama/stamina? I forgot about the casual aggravation of 'your spell fizzles', nostalgia overload.

Looks very interesting. Initial reaction from the screenshots is something akin to Avatar (1979 video game) - Wikipedia which was so very very addictive in the pre-history of CRPGs largely because of it's multiplayer nature. I'll give it a whirl and toss in my 2 cents

Richard Ayoade would be epic. He can go from silly billy to cold hearted dead serious in a blink.

I fear there is no chance this is good...

Virtual Desktop for wireless streaming vs needing the cable to tether you to the PC. Its a small change but one which makes everything just enough easier that average Joe can do it.

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3785435-facebook-parent-meta-halts-project-to-build-its-own-vrar-os-sticking-with-android-report That has to burn... They abandoned the name Oculus, they opened Quest up to let people use Steam and bypass their storefront. At this point they are just selling...

Fair point. However they spent soooo much money on costumes and sets and props and various accoutrements only to film it as if they were shooing a new season of Single Female Lawyer. In contrast the Witcher production costs are likely much much lower in terms of physical objects but they...

I liked that Tatooine having oceans in the past is now canon. The Tuskens are basically living in a post apocalyptic Mad Max scenario. It does seem implausible that they've managed to survive well enough this long without adapting to off worlder technology beyond blaster rifles and...

I liked that they effectively ignored Ghostbusters 2. This was nothing revolutionary, but it was a nice potential reboot of the franchise in a way that respects the existing material. Yeah it pulls a Force Awakens by recycling the original plot but it does so in a way that feels about as...

Watching The Witcher season 2 after this makes it glaringly clear that whoever is in charge of the Wheel of Time series needs to hire a damn cinematographer who knows what they are doing.

Thundarr got a nice Blu ray release this past year where they went back to the original animation masters and scanned them in. Absolutely beautiful and full of details that never were visible in the original broadcast.

Audica by Harmonix was much more to my own liking. It never took off the same way Beat Saber has, but I find its shooting-focused rhythm and wide open spaces very relaxing.

The Laconia business continues to confound. There has to be a plan for something to deal with the final three books yeah? Otherwise all this effort building up the Laconian plot in the cold opens makes no sense whatsoever.

The show runners did say that they have to compress and trim some characters because there are so many 'main' characters over 14 novels. I kinda wonder which ones they will actually merge / kill.

I think this is a one-and-done sort of deal. The source material is too dense and out of control for a second adaptation to be greenlit. This is almost certainly the only Wheel of Time we will see.

We are now three primary story arcs into the season and it's just crazy how much world building they are doing here. Earth-16 is the most coherent DC Universe since the now venerable Timmverse ended and definitely tackles more complex issues. Giving Mary Marvel a major arc is just perfect as...

I thought this was fine. We will see how the plotline plays out, but it was enjoyable for what it is so far. I quite liked having Matt Berry as 8D8 and the cameo appearance by the Boston Dynamics robots.

We are nearing 50000 responses in a thread that started in 2013 for a game that is not only not yet released but which is at least 2 more years from being released....

Maybe they should focus on getting something actually finished enough to be played. I am sensing a strong Wildstar vibe at this point wherein they will do a ton of work to release a complete MMO experience that then just dies on the vine.

Finished the season and I understand why they had that last scene and am fine with that as the Seanchan just kinda showing up in Book 2 was a bit out of left field (as well as the start down the path of too many plotlines that took a 'trilogy' and made it 14 books). I'm also sorta okay with...

It's $20 on both Epic and Steam

Do not watch the end credit sequence. I am not kidding here. Do. Not. Watch. It. Just turn the TV off and walk away
