    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    I dunno, they're fun, and they're a type of speedrun. I thought the Prey one was awesome - it's less than a year old, and the guys were just joking the whole way through and their descriptions of how fast the runs got... fast was amusing. I'd be interested to see what a no-clipping run looks...

    Black Panther (2018)

    It's a MCU movie, I'm gonna see it ASAP for sure. Even the worst ones were as entertaining as some of the true train wrecks people pay to see, their biggest flaw was failing to live up to the MCU potential.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Because gambling abuses human psychology way the fuck more. It's 100% to take advantage of their userbase and maximize profit, nothing more. There are some games where you can just buy cosmetics but they are the exception now, at least as far as major releases go, until these digital gamble...

    The Magnificent Seven (2016)

    I'm mildly offended you love Seven Samurai but don't know the history of Kurasowa movies and remakes in the west :P The original Magnificent Seven is a pretty great movie that still holds up as a cowboy version of Seven Samurai. I showed it to my friend last year who really has no interest in...

    Awesome Games Done Quick 2016 - 2019

    People complain about the seriousness of the runners every year, and it really hasn't shifted a whole lot - I think some of them have relaxed a bit but it's a case-by-case basis as it was year 1. These aren't people where their 8-12 hour days are spent building up social / show skills, when they...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Best director in the world can only do so much with the writing they've had lately

    God of War (2018)

    I only vaguely remember the end of 3 because I was pretty bored with the game by then the "ending" had like 3 endings and during it there were hints at some point that he was not actually dead. The deadness of the gods he killed had varying degrees of actual death because killing Poseidon turned...

    Stranger Things

    They didn't actually beat the swarm-leader-fog-monster... thing, 11 just sealed the dimensional rift. Which, depending, may be harder or easier than actually just killing the big thing but who knows. Most of the demi's in S2 were juvenile and so supposedly weaker, but even the juniors seemed way...

    God of War (2018)

    After finally playing GoW 3 last year I'm glad they decided to change the formula a bit. I think it pretty much peaked with GoW 2 and while the PSP versions were technically impressive on the little machine, they + 3 were way too much of more of the same. Actually I think I liked the PSP ones...

    Dragon Ball Super

    Right, so it would bring the average to... the average of all the "weak" universes that were flagged for erasure anyway. So, meaningless, which means this particular reason (average power level) is not a reason to do that, which was my point. See this is a GOOD excuse you could use to merge...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Steam revenue continues to climb every year and according to their data, every sale since they stopped doing flash/daily deals has been better than the one before it. I can say this again now because it continues to be true, there's never been a better time to be a gamer, much less a PC gamer...

    Dragon Ball Super

    That's... that's not how averages work. If you only restore the other universes' fighters to U7, then sure, but I would think they'd want to restore the populations as well. The "Universes" seem small enough where you could do whatever. But also, Hit has shown you can just travel between them...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    I have almost 800 games and I think 50 of those or so are from this year, maybe 15-20 from Steam sales. But I also play my games nowadays :P Steam sales still have plenty of great shit every time. It helps that I have broad tastes though. I'm not just waiting for latest Sportsball or CoD to hit $5

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    The whole digital marketplace economy has shifted significantly over the years, as well as the PC gaming footprint, this also impacts sale prices.

    Dragon Ball Super

    Since I "play" Dokkan and the dub is progressing astronomically slowly, I ended up watching all the subbed episodes out. I'll actually happily rewatch the dubs eventually because I like the voice acting and will be curious if they change anything, especially in the ToP. They keep making the...

    "Bumblebee" Transformers spin-off starring John Cena

    The name thing kinda makes sense. I was a super nerdy / sciency kid so names like Optimus Prime and Soundwave appealed to me, even if I did like real world bees well enough.

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    Developers/Publishers have had control over sale prices on Steam for years, if not always. It's not Valve's call at all.

    "Bumblebee" Transformers spin-off starring John Cena

    Yea this is the first Transformers movie I could maybe potentially feel hopeful about not being absolute garbage, maybe. It is off to a passable start! I also don't understand the focus for Bumblebee - I think it's supposed to be a "kids favorite character" thing but I was a kid when the G1...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I understand the comparison but I feel like TLJ completely failed even there - the audience had lots of specific questions after TFA that TLJ did not answer. Not only didn't answer, but specifically ignored or just said "Now it doesn't matter what the answer was, move along!". So we have...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    As someone who's not read any Star Wars books, or watched any of the shows (Clone Wars whatever), or even played many of the games, this seemed like generic-ass Star Wars to me. The trailers made it look like it could break the mold, and they even hinted at wanting to several times, but it just...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    The book was trope-filled 80s geek nostalgia pulp-fiction with deus ex machina up the wazoo but it was fine at being that. A lot of the writing did bug me but in there is an entertaining generic action story filled with awesome shit I grew up with in it. If anything I would say this is a chance...

    Alita: Battle Angel (2018)

    The first few Manga for this was maybe the first Manga I ever read, although I don't think I followed through to the newer stuff. I want this to not suck. Ya'll seem excited about James Cameron but I find him almost impossibly overrated (well, after 1994 I guess) so I was kinda sad when I saw...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Well, they did in fact say the new map would focus on closer combat and urban situations. They made it sound like the map was going to be smaller but eh. Personally I like close combat stuff over the fields of sniping any day. I don't know that I would ever play the new map for serious in third...

    Justice League (2017)

    Watchmen was pretty good adaption but the few scenes that were truly great kind of showed how much better it still could get. The ending rewrite is somewhat immaterial although I think the one in the comic is more likely to potentially realize Ozy's idea, just based on humanity. The only movie...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I thought the book was OK, and I feel like I was the demographic for it :P interested to see how they adapt it into the movie. As much room as the random 80s trivia filler took up, there was a ton of other stuff going on too that seemed important and seems like there's no way 1 movie will fit it...

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    I'll watch anything with Patrick Stewart, but him with Tarantino in Star Trek? I feel like that's some weird fever dream I don't remember having

    Star Trek Beyond (2016)

    Tarantino is a big nerd so it's possible he'd be willing to do it just to make it Trek-like, although I've never heard what he thinks about Trek so I'm just basing that on him being a fellow nerdgeek.

    Hearthstone

    Dragon slayer is going to be all over Arena for sure. This looks like a very creature-heavy set and most of the creatures are at least a little different. I have trouble believing there'll be much of a big shift though.

    Elementary

    I dunno if it's wardrobe or just her getting comfortable in the role but I swear she gets more attractive every season too. I am not into her in season 1 at all but season like 4 and 5? So would

    Elementary

    I feel like Elementary has gotten better every season, to the point where I'm skeptical season 6 can keep up. Opposite of Sherlock where it started off strong and face planted into terrible by the end. Still gonna look forward to it though.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    A:IE is just the first part of a bunch of interconnected movies so there's plenty of time to develop Warlock before A4, which is supposed to be the finale. I don't know much about Warlock myself but the fact that he's integral to the comic storyline and was explicitly mentioned in a stinger...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Adam Warlock exists but we haven't seen him in anything other than the stinger so far, with GotG and Thanos both in A:IW I would be surprised if we didn't get Warlock at least introduced, because the next GotG movie is way away and that would be the next logical place for him to pop in.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I read the original Phoenix saga and didn't really understand the fascination with it, and I'm not familiar much with the Phoenix since then, but it always struck me as... not that well done. Cosmic super power entity half-posses-but-not-really random Earth girl and proceeds to cause drama for...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Bucky was cryo-whatever-frozen in Waukanda so it makes sense they'd wake him up if they needed backup since he's pretty damn useful even by their standards.

    League Of Legends

    I know they didn't make finals or anything but I really liked C9's team in 2017 even as a long-time C9 fanboy. Not a fan of Sven but we'll see.

    Justice League (2017)

    As a non-DC-fan but still a super hero / comics fan, the interest I have in those characters is definitely not the Justice League. Only time I've liked Superman was Red Son. Batman I like his interactions with his antagonists and some of the Gotham ongoings. Wonder Woman I barely am aware of...

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

    I only picked up this show a couple months ago but I've watched everything now, with throwing a couple rewatches of MCU movies in the right spots here and there. I'm surprised by how quality it tends to be. Season 4 kept feeling like it was jumping the shark with the whole...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Luke Cage would be up there for me if they hadn't included the last 3 episodes. But that's 25% of your damn show and they were god awful. I never watched AoS until this past month but I think it is pretty good, I'd rate it at or near the top. I really can't get behind most of the other shows...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    The trailers for the movie were sooooooooooo good, but they did spoil basically the entire movie pretty intensely. Almost every big moment was in the "main" trailer, which of course isn't unheard of but this movie had a lot of them. Again though, them trailers were sexy as hell and I regret...

    Steam Deals and Digital Sales

    It's an alright open worldy side-quest-filled thingamajig of a game. It has one of the worst designed "boss" challenges I've ever seen near the end of the story line that almost made me quit the game entirely until it bugged out and made it passable. Some people really love it, if you like...
