    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    "WildStar development started in 2005, after 17 former members of Blizzard Entertainment founded Carbine Studios." I mean WoW didn't accidently invent phasing. they intentionally invented Phasing for that exact purpose. state changes in a public area. so when you beat the area, new npcs come...

    Wildstar Launch Thread - Server: Stormtalon | Faction: Dominion

    There is definitely something to be learned here. Turbine Studio's made Asherons call, Dungeons and dragons online, and Lord of the rings online. Turbine was bought by WB in 2010. 2016 LotRo, and DnDo were split off to Standing stone games, and BOTH are still be maintained and supported to this...

    Missed out. Art design was amazing. Music was amazing. still have that main menu track in my head. Trailers, etc amazing. storyline good. great missions etc.. World was an actual seamless unbroken world. (well continents) no loading. this was a time when every game had already turned to...

    well that kid is a pretty perfect casting for Jaime.

    Stranger Things

    A light brite is a single bulb. It's not an lcd. They shouldn't be able to "speak" through it, with the rules they have established.

    The Terminal List

    yeah, I'm trying to come up with a good comparison. but coming up blank. I know they exist.. but any specific names escape me. its not dexter, or Reacher, Ryan, etc. Closest maybe Punisher, but not even that really. Shooter(movie) x law abiding citizen?

    Arcane

    its because its animated. they refuse to give animation the same credits. Like stranger things, "outstanding drama series". "outstanding music supervision" not only should Arcane be in oustanding drama series. it should have gotten nods for drama directing, writing and probably acting. Should...

    on chpt 5 now. jesus fuck this russia shit. damn, you guys weren't kidding. stop it. stop. I don't get it, this doesn't even mirror the period. 20 guys in full flak jackets with semi auto rifles, take 18 deaths to 2 mortally wounded fbi agents with pistols, while kids escape. ffs.. again...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Cause they are great! claymores/zweihander actually might make sense for Elves, more then most others. (depending on specific type of Elf) dnd elves are short. no go. LotR elves are tall. yes. greatswords. Superhuman grace and strength of Tolkien elves would actually favor oversized...

    lol. I mean it is a revenge fantasy. And yeah, guns make rigthish.. but, wheres the right wing? his own government fucked him over. Corporations. etc. it questions god.

    Stranger Things

    started s4 up. and I'm immediately reminded on the parts I don't like. I struggle to like this show. The entire show is constantly homaging the 80's.. but it always feels just totally off. like no one involved actually grew up in the 80's. They just watched movies of it. so, culture is off...

    Ms. Marvel

    why are you comparing a religious covering to just random clothing? lederhosen has no religious context. it'd be like comparing a Kippah/Yarmulke to a cowboy hat. This would be a more appropriate comparison:

    The Terminal List

    I'm not quite done. I actually liked the early bits more. the period when you don't know if he's crazy or not. I was leaning more on the ptsd/hallucinations side honestly. I think the show is even going too far with the flashbacks, memory loss, and being unable to tell now from the past...

    Night Sky

    Hard to recommend, without a s2. theres multiple unresolved plot points. The missing neighbor. -fatal to the plot. everything about this guy is now pointless. the other world.- this one is fantastic enough, it could be left an unresolved mystery. the s1 finale standing as an ending. the rival...

    The Terminal List

    Disparu liked the first half. I'm just starting it. I like how they just dropped e.w. as an abbreviation, and didn't feel the need to explain what it meant. not treating us like morons.

    I didn't love this show. and especially the last few seasons. did I even watch s3? but, man everyone is saying this season is great. might have to.

    Ozark

    well, I mean, Marty would have been dead if he didn't start laundering money for them. there were a few escape points throughout the series. They agreed as a couple to stay in, and get rich. yeah, someone else commented the car crash. very odd. In theory it was supposed to be a parable of...

    Song of Conquest

    I took the bait with the 30% off on gog via sseth. The first campaign is great. short though 4 missions. not sure if EA will expand. I would assume so.. difficulty ramps up in second one, and skirmish. I need more time to really recommend. the overly detailed sprites are rough at first...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    killer cast. this looks great... kindof think this might deserve its own thread. looks like the directors first movie though. a bunch of british TV series previously. same for the writer I suppose.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    I think the issue is they just called them 5th gen fighters, and left it at that. if the said, 5th gen fighters, gave them a specific albeit made up name SUV-67, with specific tech specs, which they run down. THEN went back to calling them "5th gen fighters", it probably would have worked...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I think the Marvel movies or Picard broke them or something. These kenobi reviews are bafflingly contradictory to much of their older views. Maybe something about starwars, they were bizarrely wrong about Rogue one as well. It had flaws sure. But their entire complaint was "nostalgia bait"...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    in theory yes. but people love to make a big deal of breaking 1b. Ticket sales, theatre count, etc. all a mess... streaming, dvd sales, etc.. Even box office numbers sometimes reflect studio being dumbasses, limiting theatre count and the like, while the movie might do gangbusters the moment...

    Diablo Immortal

    Randomly got suggested this via youtube and decided to watch. Whats horrible is this is not just Diablo. fuck 99% of these issues ALSO directly apply to Lost ark for example. I'm pretty done with "daily quests". what a terrible result they have made for gaming.

    The Boys

    not watching this shit, but still reading you guys posting about it. haha. if Homelander is now doing the comic insanity, and talking to himself perhaps the Black noir storyline is going to playout.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    its probably true to say box office increased dramatically from 1990-2000. days of thunder 157m ww interview with the vampire 223m ww jurassic park hit 1b. 1993. massive smash hit. toy story top of 1995. 394m ww The phantom menance hit 1b. top of 1999. tom's done alot of one offs. you can...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    That was my initial thought. but I was wrong. I was going to say box office inflation, which it is... But really its been pretty steadily increasing for quite some time. but, its not a sudden increase. And its definitely not just marvel. spiderman 1. 821m ww spiderman 2. 788m ww spiderman...

    Path of Exile

    the stat passives are not cosmetic. they are serve as pathing. Mind over matter is 7 passive points from witch start, via stat nodes. or, is it 10 passive points, with cast speed, damage, and arcanists dominion? that pathing also moves you closer to practial application, and heart and soul...

    Path of Exile

    no, this is completely wrong. that skill tree is a sense of awe. and gives a taste of whats to come. Showing only a little bit. not letting people plan, foam at the mouth of, "what can I do?!" is stupid. hiding essential information, until after they make a choice is bullshit, and ruins...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    I did see this with my dad. it was just ok imho. Just nonstop nostalgia, and fanservice. Tom did look like he was having a blast. Genuinely happy to be there. I didn't love the cartoony mission specs. "the enemy, with no visible men" river raid SAM defenses unmanned, in the middle of no...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    well presumably "maneuvers in a vacuum" versus "Maneuvers in close proximity to another plane with a camera". I would assume the commenters were overlooking the camera aspect.

    Love, Death & Robots

    Got around to finishing these off. 1.Three robots. I think my thoughts have already been said. 2. Bad Traveling. Blur studios. pretty great story as noted. Honestly, I wasn't certain the crab had bad intentions... where did it learn to speak? how did it know the name and of the island...
