    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I find it strange how the game suddenly hit a difficulty spike for me for no apparent reason... I did the first three temples (Wind then Water then Fire) with no issues whatsoever even on the bosses, then I went to the desert area and did the Lightning Temple with 13 hearts and for some reason...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    It's a testament to this game that when I got to the main quest to go explore the 4 regions, I decided to go for Zora's Domain first like in BOTW but somehow ended up getting lost doing shrines and various stuff and ooh-a- tower and what's-that-over-there and ended up in Rito Village.. then...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    The various Wizzrobes you encounter in the world carry sticks or scepters with a gem fused to it, that's one way to discover the elemental properties of the gems. The other way is to read the description of the gems in your inventory that flat out tells you rubies will make fire, topaz will...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I find myself having Metroid Prime vibes playing this game, some of the darker creepier areas like the underground along with the semi-sentient gloom reminding me of Phazon, maybe also how you start the game with all your stuff and then lose everything exactly like in Metroid games and not at...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    As far as how much crazy shit you can do to get things done, this Zelda feels closer to Just Cause. A bunch of enemy camps sprinkled over a huge world, lots of meaningless fun to be had, can pull and yank objects and throw them around, can make explosions, and the story is there but it's not...

    Mortal Kombat 1

    I guess it's always a little bit the reason why they stop big numbers and go back to one, but in the story it makes sense, with MK11 main villain being the goddess of time and the ending having Liu Kang become the new god that will have to rewrite reality.

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    I find it odd that some are complaining about the lack of continuity when this is one of the very few Zelda games that actually goes out of its way to tell you you're the same Link with the same Zelda as the previous game, people acknowledge what happenad and what you did, hell the stables even...

    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    So far I'm also feeling like it's a lot like BOTW but with different powers. I've been having fun with the building stuff, but I'm only a little after the intro sky island. After getting launched to the sky by the first map tower I spotted another one... decided to go there to get more map, but...

    They did, but it was in the first DLC, not in the original game.

    I'd love to see it once it's finished! Speaking of Epic Weapons, I've actually been working on characters with the epic weapons (Kunark era + some races and classes they added later). There are some limitations due to the 3D engine, but it's easy enough to add a few leaves, music notes or...

    I found this collection of EQ Epic Weapons on Thingiverse, it has the original Shadow Knight epic weapon, but it's not ripped from the game it's just a recreation. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5023461

    Sharing a few more models I designed lately, I haven't had much time due to other projects and work to get much done on printing the few I purchased the .stl files for but I'm still making new ones now and then. You can click to zoom if you want. I decided to make a few rulers of various...

    I did say I would -try- to paint it soon. I guess it was more like Soon™.. And I really need to learn how to paint miniatures. And take pictures. Anyway, here's Emperor Crush.

    Wheel of Time series

    I read the entire series some years ago and I would recommend newcomers don't skip books 8-10 entirely but returning readers might as well read a recap on TVTropes or some wiki, they are truly the worst in terms of pacing and overall cuntiness. I too thought that Sanderson really brought some...

    Super Mario Bros 2 film should have Wart as a secondary villain, except every single scheme and villainous action he does is never noticed by any of the main characters.

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    In SMB1, the castles are defended by Bowser dopplegangers (if you kill them using fireballs, you can see they are originally regular enemies like goombas, hammer bros, koopas, lakitus, etc..). The Koopalings weren't in the games until SMB3 (SMB2 and the real SMB2 "Lost Levels" didn't have...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    The game story wasn't as developped at the time, but Mario 3 was the first time we knew about the koopalings yeah. And he has eight kids, the 7 koopalings and Bowser Jr. In the film there's at least one hint that they exist in this universe since the piano has the name Ludwig Von Koopa on it and...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Bowser wanting to marry Peach has been a thing since Mario Sunshine over 20 years ago. Well, in Sunshine it was Bowser Jr wanting to kidnap Peach because Bowser told him she was his "mama" (and she's not super surprised when he tells her that), and the latest Mario Odyssey has Bowser in a...

    It's just you. Blasphemous is awesome, and you can definitely fall to the screen below IF there is a screen below, sounds like you just fell into a good old death pit without anything below it, the falling to the screen below mechanic is used a lot in the game to find a lot of stuff. I've...

    The Mandalorian

    It was very obvious during the Moff Gideon fight that his armor gives him a robotic boost, you could hear a bunch of whirring noises whenever he moved to punch or kick the mandalorians, he was relatively dangerous with the Darksaber in season 2 but here with his electro-weapon he didn't do much...

    The Mandalorian

    During the squadron cantina scene near the end, I thought when Mando asked if he could take the IG droid head from the trophy shelf Grogu would run out to the ship and bring back a half-burned Praetorian helmet to fill the space, with everyone wondering where the fuck that came from.

    The Mandalorian

    Choreography has never been a strong point of anything Star Wars, at least in live-action content. And with everyone in armor and with extremely restricted vision, I bet it's even harder to do anything that looks decent. For the space battle, I have a feeling it won't really be an actual battle...

    The Mandalorian

    This show takes place 5-6 years after ROTJ, the sequels don't start for another 15 years, so that still leaves plenty of time to do some stories without falling into the mess. Though obviously they are trying to bridge the gap story-wise with Brendol Hux being in the Shadow Council, or with the...

    The Marvels (2023)

    From the trailer it looks like they wrote the plot for Captain Marvel to be as annoyed as possible by the situation so her natural resting bitchface can be called acting. It doesn't look as horrible as I anticipated based on my own dislike for Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel, but that's like...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Gravity is a space drama with some tense moments, Metroid is a space monster edging into horror / exploration game (plus platforming obviously but I can't imagine Sandra Bullock doing a lot of morph ball shenanigans). There's a reason why Aliens starts with 12 Marines + a few people and by the...

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    For a Zelda adaptation I imagine they could pretty easily translate Ocarina of Time to the screen since if you remove most of the time spent doing dungeons in the game the story itself (while good) isn't super convoluted... special child raised by forest folk finds out he had a special...

    John Wick: Chapter 4 (2022)

    To be fair, they explained exactly in the movie why we haven't heard of him before.. he's an upstart who became the top enforcer of the High Table specifically because after the events of John Wick 3 the High Table felt threatened and he offered to terminate the threat for good.. so they gave...

    Saw it today, 5 adults and 3 children and everyone loved it. It's indeed packed with references and easter eggs but there is an actual (if simple) story, it's very funny and well-animated, looked gorgeous on the big screen. It's really a love letter to the Mario universe, the music especially is...

    Well, we know now Zeb is in a New Republic squadron, Thrawn is in this show, Kallus will probably show up, we know Ezra is in the show, and Kanan.. couldn't make it. Rex would probably be dead by that time, he was already pushing it when Rebels ended before Episode 4 and this is after Episode 6...

    The Mandalorian

    While I agree about not wanting to see Grogu hopping and somersaulting all over the place like Yoda did in AOTC, I could see him eventually get his own customized armor set and force-wielding the Darksaber like some Jedi or Sith do in the expanded universe. KOTOR 2 had Darth Traya use three...

    You can't have Richard E Grant in post-ROTJ Star Wars because he's already in that stupid ass Rise of Skywalker episode 9 film, so it would be confusing. But he is a good actor for that, maybe a tad too old. I think the voice actor would be best.
