    The Expanse

    Amazingly great news! Thrilled this found its natural home.

    Poll Tyen vs Trex - Choose Your Side!

    Not voting but feeling genuine sorrow for people I admittedly didn't have a lot of sympathy for prior. Good on Tyen for hopefully working his way out of this. This sucks even for the bad guys, though.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    All these scenarios assume that "dusting" equals death. We don't know that they aren't some version of alive in the Soulstone.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I know you get this but the whole purpose of the stones is to violate the laws of physics. You are rolling forward/back Time, magnifying Power, altering Reality, folding Space, dominating Minds... Oh, sorry, I didn't see this room was already taken. /dogpile

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    None of that has anything to do with if Infinity War is a complete movie or not. Your link? Please. This movie didn't end on a cliffhanger, really, despite the way the audience, including myself, felt walking out of it. Regardless of movies that came before it or those movies we know to be...

    Cobra Kai

    Well, they didn't stick the landing IMO, but it overall was a great reason to subscribe to YouTube Red, and now no more commercials.

    Cobra Kai

    Through Episode 5, this is fucking magnificent. So well made and so much pathos. Thanos and Johnny Lawrence? What else does this year hold?

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    He probably wasn't in this one because A) it was the plan all along due to having 28 characters for which to have to find space B) he broke his arm filming the movie "Tag" right before/when the shooting for this started and his cameo had to be pushed back or re-written out.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    This; there is a number of times watching this I felt bad for parents taking kids to see this opening day. It's like going to see Coco and finding out Coco is on Schindler's List.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    This was a post I wrote on another forum but certainly captures a large chunk of my thoughts about the movie Are we really still doing spoilers?: I don't so much care about one character but All New, All Different bleeding over from the comics to the MCU would be the end. Also, the real super...

    Ni No Kuni II

    Just started Chapter 7 on the PC and am having the best time with this game. Wasn't familiar with the series at all and am not the biggest JRPG fan (I think FF X was the last one I played). In 4k its one of the most beautiful games I have ever seen; a Studio Ghibli film come life at m&kb (I...

    Kevin Smith Suffers Massive Heart Attack (Feb '18).

    Really glad he is going to pull through. I have a great affection for him, even though he can be out there some times. He had such a great run, and can be so insightful and smart, its a total package thing. He has genetics going against him; this is the same thing that killed his dad. The...

    Black Panther (2018)

    This. As indicated above, other than some really clunky lines (colonizer, bury me at sea, WHAZZZUPP, etc.) Black Asgard was good but not one of Marvel's transcendent best.

    True Detective

    Also time and turf; Nic Pizzolatto is from SW Louisiana and worked on the ideas behind the first season for years (10ish? IIRC) before it came out. When they announced the turn around for season 2 was so short, I wondered if they were going to have time to put the genie back in the bottle. The...

    Misunderstood pro football player donates an Xbox to a cancer ward

    A year is just too long, in my opinion. Back in the day, Ut was basically unbearable in MMO threads, unnecessarily scourged devs and salted the FOH earth. Since the thing with Curt, though, he has made such a significant turn around I actually enjoy seeing him in threads. Now there might be...

    True Detective

    Dude getting the shit kicked out of him there by Colin Farrell is a guy with which I went to high school, several years younger than I am; he's a great dude, currently wrapping up a stint on NCIS LA, I think.

    Bright (2017)

    Eh, there were some moments where it seemed kind of rote buddy cop flick, to be sure. There were some great moments in it as well, such as Will Smith's slo-mo shooting shown in the trailer and all that surrounds it. This movie, compare and contrast to the TLJ, has improved in my consideration...

    Bright (2017)

    I watched this tonight more because of the critic to audience rating discrepancy than anything else. I liked it. It was good/OK, 7 to 8 out of 10. I don't know if I would have Ayer direct the next one; he seems to be stuck in a rut, and while this movie was good (just good) the best part of...

    Houston, moving there.

    We leased a house in Montrose after the flood while we raise/repair our house, so central ups the chance I could attend. We are ultra-busy on the weekends until after New Year's now, though but ping me and I will see if I can't sneak out for a while if its close. EDIT: Count me in 2018.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    We saw it today in an iPic Theater, which is a food serving, private booth seating place that I highly recommend. Overall I dug it, despite disliking a lot of what others here didn't like: Sorry if that's a bit of a jumbled mess, but with a movie like this... /laugh track Overall, even with...

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

    Grats, Ut. :) After losing most of my home office to Hurricane Harvey, I got a couple of 43" X720Es (based on Rtings) to replace my desktop PC monitor and console TV (viewing distance approx 2 feet). Initially I got an X800D and a X720E but the X800D got a Blue Line of Death. My experiece...

    American Gods

    I love the show, I think it looks amazing, I can't believe the cast they got for this, so many home runs. The show has seemed to lay it on thick politically at times but as Kiroy says, for all intents and purposes, so what? I will excuse some of that for a while for a show I enjoy. All of...

    The Flash

    So over my birthday va-ca half week I binged all of The Flash and a few of the first season of the Arrow. I had never seen a single episode of any of the DC superhero series.I mostly agree with the comments above, although the show really holds true to the comic. It The first season of The...

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    Note: Not going to do spoiler tags anymore, since it is out on video. I understood what was said, who she was, etc. but the scene played out very differently than what we know about John Wick from the first movie. We all know he is a master assassin, heartless at times and a virtuoso of...

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    Watched this earlier (on Amazon, no less) and while it was good, and I loved the individual scenes, I thought the overall movie definitely suffered from sequel-itis. The first movie premise was simple, the characters motivations were clear, the action was realistic, amazing and followable...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    The movie becomes more understandable (if not forgivable) when you know that the two "scientists" were originally "workers" in an earlier draft of the script.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So I went back and put a little more time into the game, and I agree with the above: 5 or 6/10: I keep hitting bugs like doors not opening or consoles not working that require me to reload or even exit out and relaunch the game to resolve. I think the Folder UI is easily the worst in any...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I thought it was pretty good/ok but is being completely shat on by critics, most of whose reviews are infused with terms like "whitewashing", "cultural appropriation", "white savior" and "privilege". Edit: the irony is that Danny Rand is a totally "white knight", pun intended, and the whole...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So after buying a Super Deluxe Digital edition, I bought a blower Founder Edition rather than waiting for the FTW edition of the 1080Ti because I wanted to play this at 4K 60FPS all the way through from day 1. I only got through 8 of my 10 hours of trial before I just put it down. Basically I...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So much polish is missing from the trial; it looks like it should have been a Fall/Winter release that got pushed up by something else. It looks and feels buggy and messy. For example, Quest/Journal and Skill type UI is total trash. Once you get into a skill it's OK but its so hard to...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    The only framerate issues I had were when I had occasion to try to cheese an plot encounter: Rrather than sneak during a revenge mission, I tried to brute force it but the numbers made me pull back to the entrance and chain kill the hostiles at the door. I didn't know that they would respawn...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Same here and 2nding this. Great openworld gameplay and it just looks amazing on the the regular PS4 and 1080p. It has me considering dropping the money to upgrade my console setup to 4k. I totally missed the hype for this; I thought it was another Far Cry: The Dino Age or whatever. Last week...
