    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    I'm curious why they don't just cover their own "regular" cost of the ticket and let you pay the difference. Too confusing for consumers? Too much of a hassle for the theater? I can buy discounted "gold" tickets from work but they only ever cover base cost so if I take them to 3D or IMAX I just...

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    Well we're pretty much going full circle on the PC-software-platform ecosystem currently, we went from every game being its own install to Steam to now every company has their own launcher if they have 2 or more games on PC. Steam, GoG, GMG (not sure if they still have that), I'm sure...

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    That kind of tech would cost a preposterous amount of money to implement to prevent themselves from... making more money. So I really doubt it.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    It wasn't supposed to stop at Ep. 3, it was originally intended to be annual releases (reportedly), for an undisclosed amount of time. This bit of story, while interesting, doesn't really resolve that much for me? It kind of ends in almost the same place with almost the same questions at the end.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I think aside from the red zones, which need to be removed or completely redone, the RNG in this game is fine for it as a game. As an esport I really don't want them to try and shoehorn in "sportiness" into the game just for the sake of it being a thing. It's fine watching streamers play because...

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    These Marvel shows are full of women that I want to see more of kind of out of nowhere.

    League Of Legends

    Uh, it sounds like you haven't been following their changes? They're removing the "shop" aspect of runes entirely. They're merging Runes and Masteries into one system where everyone has everything unlocked for free. So think Mastery trees but more simplified, fewer choices with more power, and...

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    I didn't have any problem following the fights, which was part of the problem with Elektra's. You could see how slow she moved and the insane amount of space between her and whomever she was fighting. Probably the only exception was the more "brawly" exchange with Daredevil at the end, because...

    Absolver

    Martial Arts game? Count me probably in. This is already on my wishlist somehow although I don't remember it, wonder how long ago that store page popped up, haha. I'll have to hit up YouTube for some gameplay footage tomorrow

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    I liked IF Danny a lot more than I liked Danny in Defenders. IF series just reminded me of all the cheesy kung fu movies I used to watch with a weird western sheen over it, and some goober playing the main character (which to be fair is fairly typical of cheesy kung fu movies when you don't have...

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    Just as a follow up to this, it DOES work for Alamo Drafthouse according to Moviepass. It even works for the weird indie theatre that's in the bar district that only shows movies I've never heard of and weird livestreamed plays. I'll probably go ahead and sign up because $120 / year seems about...

    Hearthstone

    It's not that hard to tell if a card is too strong. Just think to yourself, would I still use Ultimate Infestation if it only drew 4 cards? If it only drew 3? How much do you have to remove before it starts to be a choice to include instead of auto-include? You have to hit it pretty hard right...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Welcome to apparently the past 30 pages or whatever. Season 6 introduced this and Season 7 basically said "fuck it completely". It's not like there aren't still a ton of side plots and characters to interweave into the timeline too. So in books 4 and 5, they were originally going to be 1 book...

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    I'm 5 episodes in and am enjoying it so far. The first couple episodes had pretty weak choreography in any scene with a particular lady in it which makes me think she can't do those kind of scenes but a couple of the later ones with her are OK so I'm not sure. Maybe learning curve or something...

    I don't actually listen to synthwave much but this came up in my YouTube recommendations (for some reason) and seems good. Thought you all might like it:

    Overwatch

    I think the problem is how limited you are in OW. In DOTA2 and LoL etc., sure people may bitch about unorthodox picks and terrible team comps but the difference there is those games are flexible enough where you can get away with it. In OW you just can't. You NEED a more-or-less balanced out...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    I wonder how big the market for doing that in a Rifftrax style would be. I have to imagine like 0, but it would be funny.

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    I could see co-op being super fun but I think MP would just need to be a different game. It seems like the PC world is long overdue for a new multiplayer arcade space shooter though. Everspace scratches the genre itch fairly well otherwise.

    Marvel Netflix: Defenders

    I enjoyed Iron Fist for what it was, and certainly more than DD S02 or the last 2-3 episodes of LC. I watched a ton of cheesy Kung Fu movies in my day though and it felt like a western version of a cheesy Kung Fu movie so I realize I am in the minority. It was not brilliant. I was talking with...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Of all the movies I have not wanted to disappoint, this one might depress me the most if it sucks. Well, since Transformers anyway. Every thing they show is just 100% awesome so far.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    Yea that kind of stuff only works if they don't aim the tires for someone. If you're gonna run someone over, aim for the tire, not the already-partially-off-the-ground middle of the vehicle :P

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't think the lack of zombies at the wall is a plothole, I just think the genuine lack of addressing the timeline, travel speed, or size of the continent at all these episodes is getting to be offensively poor. If they had introduced literal magical teleportation it would have been less...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I haven't read them in maybe a decade at least, but I still have Reunion and The Romulan Prize on my shelf. Despite hanging out in nerd circles I apparently was too nerdy because I never knew anyone else IRL that read any Trek books so I only read a few myself. I don't understand trying to...

    I'm definitely not going back to third person. It's OK for spectators sometimes but first person is such better gameplay, at least for me. And the majority I guess.

    Moviepass: pay $10/mo, see one movie a day in theaters

    If it works for Alamo there's one like 5 blocks from me, I might not even have to leave :P This is mighty tempting if it works, but I don't think buying tickets is why I haven't been going to the movies much either

    Rick and Morty

    I don't think the Pickle Rick episode was "we are so random", that's their weird intergalactic commercial ad-lib episodes. The pickle start was obviously supposed to set it up as pretty rickdiculous but compare it to some of the out-of-nowhere things in some of the other episodes and the rest of...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    You're not necessarily supposed to just show the actual people traveling 1800 miles constantly, sure. But when there is a large, long journey that's important to the central story as a whole, you at least want to convey that 1: It takes time (tension), and 2: Other people are doing their own...

    Sonic Mania

    Sonic's "character" was added from the comics / cartoon I'm pretty sure, once they tried to evolve the games they tried to add it in there as well. None of the 3D games felt... good, like at all, really. I just don't think the original Sonic game style translates to 3D that well. You could do a...

    I'm still playing Empyrion. It's been in EA a long time but I bought it super early too.

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I didn't like the portrait frame this season at all so was very unmotivated to finish. I might go back in to mess with Bonestorm some more now that I got the Trag wings unlocked though, see if I can push 70 with it.

    Sonic Mania

    See, I don't get the appeal of a 3D Sonic game. I never played one of those and though "this is an improvement". S&K was brilliant for a lot of reasons, and it holds up shockingly well. Maybe it would have been bad for them to just stick with 2D formula the whole way through, but they tried...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I've only seen TFA once and I don't think Rey is a particularly well done character, but didn't they make references to the Force essentially throwing itself / power into Rey because the balance had been fucked up for so long? I would give her instant-super-force-mastery the benefit of the doubt...

    How does poe.trade work? How do I find these people? Is it just a listing and they're supposed to respond to the whisper or is it automated somehow and IDK what I'm doing? Can you party with people anywhere and trade remotely?
