    Minecraft Dungeons

    Its worth it though because the secret unlocked zones are excellent places to farm items. I finally switched my default build from Soul-based archery to one where I am a tank with a big sword but still using Souls to heal. Its a bit annoying that you can't respec an item so if possible make...

    Toy Story 4 (2019)

    With the passing of Fred Willard we re-watched Wall-E last night. It still holds up as amazing and a true testament to the PIXAR that was.

    Space Force

    This was.. not good. Watched the first two episodes and then skipped to the end to see if things got better after they found their legs. They did not. The show ultimately couldn't decide if it wanted to be an Airplane/Police Squad type farce or a more subtle dark humour comedy and that is...

    What We Do in the Shadows

    The documentary film crew has to be Colin Robinson's doing yeah?

    Minecraft Dungeons

    Some secrets don't always exist on any given run of a map. Take note of the number of secrets available on the map view and rarely it will increase indicating you have a chance at one of the special secrets that unlock new zones. There's also some sort of thing going on with the church back at...

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

    Show is back for the final season and it looks like they are going to tie up as many loose ends as they can. Hail Hydra!

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    Yeah they only released the first ten. Their interface is a hot mess...it's really a travesty.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Stormlight really does need to be animated. Especially given the very alien nature of the flora / fauna of the planet outside Shinovar.

    Minecraft Dungeons

    I have stumbled into a build that I find super-effective to the point where I am not sure I can really diverge from it too much. Also note that there are a number of secret things in the game. Opened up a whole additional region and I suspect there are more.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    They do have the new HBO Max original Looney Tunes that they created emulating the original style of the theatrical shorts. No idea why this wasn't one of the highlighted items on their main home page...

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    So this went live today. You can watch any episode of Friends that you want. ... Elmo has a talk show? Really the only thing of value I see is the ability to stream Studio Ghibli films for the first time.

    Minecraft Dungeons

    Very similar to Diablo 3 console in terms of controls.

    Minecraft Dungeons

    It has some interesting synergies and complexities when you get to the higher difficulty levels and with some of the more creative items. It really leans into the premise of being as creative as they can with the set of tools that exist within the ecosystem.

    All things Brandon Sanderson

    Re-reading Wax and Wayne series and cursing again that the Skyward stuff has caused such a delay. The Wax and Wayne sequence is so wonderfully steampunk and would be relatively easy to adapt. It's a shame no one is actively chasing these projects.

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars

    Lucas had always seen Star Wars as an homage to the weekly adventure serials of the depression era. Clone Wars was a fully realized version of that ideal combined with newsreels. I can only hope that what comes next is half as good. They need to learn from the mistakes of Resistance.

    Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

    At one point in the first season they make a comment about how many torpedos they have on board and we're very careful not to waste any. By season 7 they were pew-pewing them all over the place willy nilly, not to mention all the shuttles and delta-flyers they went through.

    What We Do in the Shadows

    They officially renewed for a third season on Friday. Honestly I'm surprised they waited this long to do so. I did a double take when I saw the news item scroll past as I was certain that it had to have already happened.

    Is this awful? It feels like its awful. I have the sensation that I don't move nearly as fast as I should and that the levelling upgrades arent terribly meaningful

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    75 year old mother-in-law who was already on oxygen taken to ER with trouble breathing. Because no one is allowed to accompany patients the family is stuck with only the information a stroke-victim is able to relate via telephone. Was stabilized but they found other cardio issues and is thus...

    The Edenville Dam in Midland, MI (world HQ of DOW Chemical) collapses forcing thousands to evacuate

    This is why private control of large scale infrastructure is a bad idea. Boyce Hydro bought the dam (and three others) when it was already in bad shape and in need of massive repairs, but instead of doing that they just pulled what revenue they could out of the system while playing lawyer-tag...

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    4th edition was created specifically to be more crpg-friendly and then failed to actually create any licensed games that made use of this. Neverwinter was nominally based on the 4th edition, but even that was heavily modified. 4th edition gets a bum rap. I always thought it was the most...

    Good use of Luke Wilson. Was worried there for a bit that it was going to be a super slow burn, but the third act made up for it.

    Working From Home

    Someone brought up an interesting wrinkle in the whole 'return to office' plan -- bathrooms. Even if we were to do something that made the giant open floorplan less prone to disease transmittal we only have one bathroom per floor.

    Avatar: The Last Airbender

    The original series is up on Netflix now and is trending as a lot of people re-watch and even more check it out for the first time. (I know many people who never even thought to look at it in the past because it was associated with Nickelodeon.) Still makes me yearn for a third Avatar series...

    Working From Home

    To be honest the people at work who are most eager to be back in the office fall into two categories: 1) Social butterflies that spend the majority of their day flirting from flower patch to flower patch and not actually working 2) Parents and/or other people who do not want to be at home with...

    DC Universe Animated Movies

    Going into this I did not know this was the end of the DC Animated New 52 Universe. This now makes the upcoming Superman: Man of Tomorrow make a lot more sense as the start of a new sequence.

    Working From Home

    A great many people are asking this same question. Obviously not everyone as there are plenty of jobs that still require a physical presence to work on equipment or with product etc., but for anyone who spends their days sitting in front of a computer punctuated only by moving to a video...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    The character-class based multiplayer was unforseen going into the game and was very fun. I feel they could have done more with this and gotten to something akin to Battleborn, but then again Battleborn never took off

    The Mandalorian

    Watching the Gallery episodes with the roundtable discussion with the directors, old school ILM folk etc. is just awesome. It's almost painful how much everyone at that table gets Star Wars at a fundamental level that JJ Abrams just doesn't. You can see it in Kathleen Kennedy's eyes as these...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    No more normal maps... The amount of art-asset processing that all of this eliminates is staggering. This opens up a LOT of design possibilities, especially for smaller studios that couldn't budget the time and cost of having to do all that work and thus retreated to stylistic flat choices.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    The people working at home doing nothing are the same people who were at the office doing nothing. Its just easier to pretend you are doing work when you are in a glass tower and can wander around 'catching up' and 'touching base' etc.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I could never get past Miranda being the chick from Chuck, but a friend of mine was obsessed with her so I can see that. My biggest issue with ME2 was the hard left it took from the underlying plot of ME1 and the fact they they got lazy and just benched whatever character survived the ME1 choice.
