    God of War (2018)

    I pre-ordered the normal physical copy like yesterday morning, with the Prime -20% off. It looks like it's listed as "unavailable" at the moment, possibly a rush on pre-orders due to review hype? Or some other thing going on. I'd just check again in a day or two.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Ah yes, comic "power levels" summed up nicely :P

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. :/ although I haven't seen the new season because I'm the binging type now.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    New York and Wakanda are the two for sure locations we see him going for gems, Titan is likely the third. Wakanda is probably the only place that has an actual army to stand up with (in addition to having, y'know, a forcefield protecting their gem) so that's why the big goon-battle is there.

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I mean, that was literally 75% of the point of the book / movie, was nostalgia boning. They may have omitted most of the actual depth from the book in the movie, but reimagining anything would have COMPLETELY missed the point, and Eric Cline (the author) was involved with the movie to some...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    My main problem with the book was how absurdly mastabatory it was. They completely removed that tone from the movie, but they also removed basically everything else I liked about the book (and particularly the things I thought it did well) while keeping only part of the setting and concept. The...

    Dragon Ball Super

    Wow That's amazing. The last episode was pretty great, mix of predictable and surprising which is nice. They have basically infinite content ahead with the whole universes thing considering a bunch didn't even take part in this tournament, and Vegeta (and Jiren?) showed that there's gains to...

    God of War (2018)

    I liked Last of Us well enough and I can't imagine I would have liked it less if it had a section where you marauded around mythological Nordic countries murdering beasties. Although that would have been a hell of a segue.

    Shadow of the Tomb Raider

    I'm excited, but if all half the cinematics are her helplessly falling down things again it'll be a little annoying. I really enjoyed the gameplay of both new ones so far and liked the slightly fleshed out tombs in RotR way more so hopefully they continue that direction.

    Black Panther (2018)

    I not only said that I disagreed with the directive but also (earlier somewhere) that the Wakandans are arseholes at best for their isolationist behavior but definitely extend into the "evil" part of the chart with some of the arguments and no doubt previous rulers. Going off topic here...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Basically Prime Directive taken to an extreme and more intimate level, really. Isolationism because "it would make things worse if other people knew what we had". Although considering how a lot of their tech seems new (based on the sister) I'm not sure how far advanced they were in MCU in say...

    Dragon Ball Super

    Also the movies are weirdly always non-cannon so the movie won't officially extend the DBS unless they change that (even though BoG and RoF movies kicked off DBS and were better than the rehash episodes for the most part). I don't really see how he's the bad guy. The angels mentioned that the...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    FPS and shooters in general are terrible for esports spectating. They're popular on Twitch because you're locked into one perspective / narrative the whole time. Overwatch is hella simpler to spectate than PUBG and it's still painful to make spectator friendly.

    Justice League (2017)

    Thinking back on it, this would have been the best (and maybe only real) chance for them to dial in Superman a bit, especially in comparison to the others. But instead they went out of their way to show just how overpowered he is and even made the Flash's one thing not special. Maybe they'll...

    They haven't patched anything in any of their mobile-to-PC ports as far as I'm aware

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That scene still angers me to no end. The entire thing is C tier action writing nonsense from before it even starts. "We need food and supplies! Let's go teleport to this supply train several weeks away. OK now let's BURN THE SUPPLIES WE LITERALLY JUST SAID WE NEED instead of the soldiers that...

    Black Panther (2018)

    I thought it was pretty solid. I think the first throne room scene with Erik single-handedly brought the whole movie down a couple spots for me, it felt like it should have been 10 minutes long but instead it was just random yelling and glossing over basically every major moral and social...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    If those other ARPGs weren't more boring to play than D3 is to replay I would love to play them :P I gave PoE a third chance with their big push, was bored the entire time even when I finally got my build. Grim Dawn was a slog and I truly hate that they didn't add a modern way to try out builds...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He's never been multiple steps ahead of everyone, he's been able to adapt and manipulate on the fly to his advantage and to not die, he didn't intend for the epic shitstorm of GoT to turn out anywhere near what it has. Also, the writers DID go full retard the past couple seasons, the writing has...

    Stellaris

    They had a couple blogs about the FTL travel when they announced it because they knew it'd be a contentious change, but I am mostly on board with it and their reasoning. Basically summed up as "makes balance and strategy a fucking bitch to develop on". As someone already pointed out, the tech...

    Civilization VI

    I mean, we are launching shit at Mars and it feels like a dark age sometimes. I'm not sure that's unrealistic at all :P I don't seem to have the same issue with AI, it seems way better with the expansion. I was having to play around Sumaria at the beginning of my current game but they...

    Civilization VI

    I think both U.S. and Russia just put their cities in the middle of everything because that happened to me pre-xpac too, like literally dropped a couple cities in the handful of tiles between two of mine. I like the expansion so far, I'm going for a culture victory. China is expanding a...

    Favorite Video Game Trailers

    I like all the GoW trailers a lot, the games are OK but most of the trailers have always had that just right tone (that escapes the games themselves). Some of my most rewatched though, aside from the Halo 'Believe' one, are these Transformers ones. Great music, great shots, also love the games.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    That plus the blonde hair and the make up style make her look a bit older compared to the previous movies too

    Dragon Ball Super

    There's still a bunch of ways they could "surprise" everyone without even something totally new. Fusion (dance or earrings), maybe Vegeta secretly learned kaioken while training recently, Frieza gets back up and goes bananas, A17 does some nonsense or other, or yea Vegeta just power tackles...

    Civilization VI

    I think I always played Civ (and all 4x-ish games) in windowed so I always use the middle-mouse pan, or click directly on cities in the menu, to get around. The middle-button pan seemed fast though. Social policies, it depends on what you're doing. Generally you just want the best for whatever...

    Civilization VI

    My first game of Civ 6, when I accidentally hit "quick play" and just went with it, I won by science relatively easily. The main thing you want to be ready for is getting war declared on you, but you will probably be 2-ish eras ahead so just keep a few units to upgrade (and the gold to do it) or...

    Dragon Ball Super

    It kinda seems like ascending to a God of Destruction should disqualify one from the ToP butttttt the whole thing is janky so :P I still wanna see Gogeta Blue happen, damnit. Or Gogeta Blue2-Ulta? I don't even know anymore.

    League Of Legends

    More spoilers ahead: As a C9 fan, yay. TSM always ends up in top 3 though, I'm sure they'll push through by end of the LCS. TL looked way better than you'd expect for basically an all new roster with limited practice together (beyond some past experience obviously), we'll see if it's enough...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    A lot of game developer studios are in a tough spot because they actually don't have massive cash reserves or stable flows of it, so they don't even have the option of being the good guys and just hiring more coders. Some (cough EA cough) are just corporate jackasses like the rest of the world...

    Dragon Ball Super

    This episode was a big bag of nothing much. I really would love to see Vegeta actually out-power Goku for once since the Saiyan saga.

    They are billions

    I put a couple hours into this last night and died twice. First time, I just didn't know random zombies would start trickling in and had no military near that side of town and got infected like instantly. Second time, was doing really well (I think) but the second "big wave" got me because of...

    Black Panther (2018)

    Yea I dunno. I have almost exclusively progressive friends on Facebook and I almost never see sjw posts. I don't think I've even seen anyone bring up this movie in anything other than the standard MCU / movie conversation.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    What's dumb is that's not unique to Poland, although that sounds like an extreme. There's a number of studies that have shown that working even 40 hour weeks ends up with less or worse work than shorter ones, like ~32-34 hour weeks. Companies don't care though because obviously those studies...

    Expansion reveal, sounds badass and all but I really wish they'd expand diplomacy. This is pretty much the opposite of that :p Stellaris: Apocalypse will let you kill planets Edit: For the juicy bits I guess
