Ball-point pen is from Johnny Thunder and contains his Thunderbolt. A neon pink djinn from the 5th dimension. Johnny Thunder was succeeded by Jakeem Thunder in the JSA reboot which created Stargirl.

https://deadline.com/2021/08/amc-entertainment-adam-aron-warner-bros-1234811729/ Well this is disappointing. We already talked among my people and we don't want to go back to fighting with traffic, movie schedules, crowds etc. Would be happy to throw them some bones for the convenience of...

Part of me does wonder why Acti-Blizz never tried to license the base engine of WoW. I suppose it was fear of letting another DOTA emerge from their work, but if they structured the licensing right it could have been a significant revenue source.

Suicide Squad / Task Force X has always been more about the street-level villains and/or mercs. Heavily mined from the rogues gallery of Batman and the Flash rather than large scale overarching threats. These are villains and many of them have powers/abilities but they aren't supervillains.

It's just us seeing the world that Harley sees. I thought it was a cool POV

This is pretty much a $200M Troma film (even has Lloyd Kaufman in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo). For people who appreciate Troma style this was amazing fun. I'm surprised that 'normies' are enjoying it as much as they do.

I'm happy they finally gave Starro some popular media attention. Motherfucker has been around since 1960 and never got the respect he deserves.

The funny thing is that the extremely high compensation that executives get is ostensibly due to them having to make sure that shit like this doesn't happen. Just more evidence as to what a sweet racket it is to be a 'C-suite' class person.

RIP Kamino. I suppose they shipped Nala Se and the other main cloners to Exegol... Interesting detail about Omega's age. I had not considered the fact that she was the first 'mutant' clone given her apparent age compared to the others. They had accelerated aging whereas she does not.

You have to use the Deck skill as an AE pulse before you open the chest.

Good to see that Gregor was always a bit nuts.

I figured they were holding back on the next test / soft-release until after New World launches, but they just pushed that back a full month. Maybe they will announce a new beta in the next couple days as part of a marketing reshuffle at Amazon?

Interesting that they are giving themselves another month. I'm not sure what they can do to change their overall fate in that time.

This looks interesting. Anyone here check it out?

$30M in Disney+ premiere access spend for Jungle Cruise... I think this absolutely validates the premiere streaming home model. It seems logical that people would be willing to shell out shekels for something like Black Widow owing to it's event-status as part of the MCU, but Jungle Cruise...

There is an augment to spawn a little robot to gather shit for you. Seems silly but it's handy in swarm fights as they can pick up health packs and such.

they made this as part of the big nostalgia kick leading up to the BBC 100th anniversary next year and it is excellent. It covers the same basic stories as the original source books but with a more refined period sense typical of so many BBC productions. It just feels so goddamn heartwarming.

I finished the main story and had a blast with this. I wish they had ray tracing enabled on the XSX but even without it the game visuals are very nice. It was challenging without being too frustrating in that whenever I found myself failing it was due to not having made the necessary changes...

They are doing a 'sneak preview' by doing a showing on Thursday night in theaters but also HBO Max. That has to really piss off the theater owners who thought 'well at least we get the FOMO types who have to see it first!'

Only significant but I've found has to do with the pathing. A couple times now it has very clearly led me to the wrong place. Each time I just have to go backwards or take a different route away from th suggested path until it flips to a new routing.

Well Horizon Forbidden West will now inevitably get delayed to 2022 as I was able to finally get a PS5 from Target this morning.

I guess I haven't noticed that I need to let up to reload... I must just be doing it subconsciously. The bullet spread is actually a stat in the game. Note that you will need different types of guns in order to tackle various mobs / bosses. I levelled up a machine gun that I liked a lot but...

Been playing it on XSX and its fucking awesome. MMO-type semi-open world with lots of craziness going on and pretty challenging content. I have no idea what the PC version is like, but the XSX is amazeballs.

I think most people want to go to work to make good products or provide good services to paying customers and want, in turn, to receive fair compensation and an overall sense of security. Do good work, solve problems, invent new solutions, make people happy, get rewarded. It's when that...

Hawkeye on Disney+ starting Nov 24. So it'll be an arrow-tastic holiday period it seems. Interesting that this will overlap with the Spiderman release.

I have been playing solo. Do NOT play solo!

The problem is humans. There will always be a large population of people who take advantage of any systemic benefits or perks. There will also always be some rotten apples. The key is to not fall into the trap of immediately deciding that a reprehensible sample is proof of a universal attribute.

Interesting that a 'feature length' special will air in autumn 2022 to serve as her final story and regeneration into Doctor 14. That will be under the purview of a totally new showrunner and so it looks like, similar to the 11th Doctor coming in off the 10 specials, it will be a stiff reboot...

The Target version is much much more friendly to less extreme gamers while still having the overall depth of the original. I would go so far as to say it's better overall owing to the cool way they use the scenario book to provide lots of atmospheric detail along with easy to follow scenario...

https://www.tribesofmidgard.com/ This launches tomorrow and I've been seeing a lot about it but nothing on here. I am intrigued by the concept as a good action RPG is a fun time and I do think I'll enjoy some of the rogue-like aspects of the progression. Lord knows me and my buddies played...

I do enjoy that the starting position of the 8 characters means that you will end up with a pretty balanced set of 4 initially. I mean you could skip past some by going out of the way geographically, but that has to be fairly uncommon.

Pro-tip for Foundry users who go all out on lighting / sound / special effects: Use the compendium feature to put any unused scenes into cold storage if you aren't actively using them. This will dramatically lower the resource load on the world and will make things much better for the people...

I finally started playing Octopath Traveler and while it's not amazeballs, it's certainly worth the price of free and can occupy my time until something else comes out. It's either this or I continue obsessively making maps in Dungeondraft / Foundry

Well, on the plus side no one is talking about how terrible 9.1 is now...

Paul is 15/16 in the first part of the book. I thought that part of the justification for the division into two nominal halves was to let Chalamet age a tick before jumping into the second half as some not insignificant time should pass for the Fremen rebellion before the conclusion.

Yeah I was unhappy with this. Very very bad ending all round, not to mention how happy all those people were to erase their existence.

The filing, as a whole, is pretty damning. It tells a story of established repetitive issues, not just a few one-off allegations. Sounds like the HR dept was buddy-buddy with the higher up devs which is a red flag for internal corruption. It also has the ring of truth about it. All of...

Bump. Movie out today

Played it off an on throughout the alpha phases and it's entertaining enough for the first 20 hours and then becomes just a chore.

This came shortly after the original movie and was born out of a simple short they filmed for the fuck of it. It was only because the first series of this was well received that we got the genius that is the FX version. The leads are so delightfully clueless.
