    Stranger Things

    Didn't know that about Steve/Will's Dad in S1 and you're correct about Erica as well but it fits the pattern (one "main character dies in the finale-ish doing something heroic per season; did anyone else die other than Barb in S1?). Not saying that they have always played Will as gay, that was...

    Stranger Things

    In two posts I keep forgetting to say how much I enjoyed his character. I haven't watched the Boys yet but I just loved him here. Other than his dick turn in Aliens he has such a wonderful screen presence, he even makes Helen Hunt enjoyable. Spoiler:

    NVidia GeForce RTX 40x0 cards - x2 the power consumption, x2 the performance

    This whole thread and no one called on the Emperor? SHAME: NVIDIA is in trouble because they are 80% of the market and all those miner cards are going to still be around come Q3/Q4/Q1 23. They rode the wave up and now they are going to ride it down. Meanwhile, AMD is reportedly going to be...

    Stranger Things

    100% correct. Their relationship is the best part of the show and the Steve Dustin Nancy Lesbian (Fake Edit again: Robin) Parts were absolutely solid gold. All of the relationships are good, though, these are the ones who really shine. I would watch a 4 Amigos/Moonlighting Detective agency...

    Stranger Things

    So I came back and watched all episodes, both parts of season 4 last night. I guess because I didn't have the gap, I didn't share the hate for the last two episodes? I thought they were good but the criticism about they're being long is not wrong. Russia was tiresome overall except for the...

    Total Recall (1990)

    Same gun from Predator to T2. They just changed some of the cosmetics on it for Arnold. I just read an article on it the other day. Will link it if I can find it. Edit: I don't know if these were the original links I read but its mostly the information I was looking for, including the...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    Yoda was clearly more skilled with a lightsaber and more powerful with the Force than Dooku. I think it was close between Sidious and Yoda on both fronts, it could have gone either way but indeed the fall was the difference(?) Sidious got the upper hand and Yoda knew he would never get another...

    Obi-Wan Kenobi

    This is one of my favorite moments of the OT. My take: Luke was more powerful than Vader, not that he was dying. Luke was going to be an Upgrade for Palpatine. Vader was "more machine than man" and it limited his interaction with the Force: He was still powerful but not what he once was. It...

    SWTOR

    Still playing, lots of work keeping my play time down but almost done with the JK Origin Story, on Corellia at level 55. I have figured out a bunch of workarounds for my issues above, some were me issues, some are game things. Still fun, though. Combat is mostly just an obstacle/to complete...

    The forgotten movies

    Clive Barker was one of the first authors I knew of as being out as gay; the sex was an intrinsic part of his fiction, including and especially his horror. I don't know where many of these could be done book accurate, with the caveat I have read many of them in decades but the sexual content...

    Silsbee is north of Beaumont, Pro Wrestler and Olympic powerlifter Mark Henry is from there. His brother Pat was a Defensive Lineman at Texas A&M. Channelview is just outside of Houston on the east side. I don't know anyone from there off the top of my head.

    So I did get get an itch to play this and went back. I had a few characters sitting around waiting that I had made way back when, I mean close to launch. 2895 day old mail and everything, my level 4 Chiss Imperial agent and my level 6 Human Jedi Knight. I never really had a plan for the Chiss...

    I started trying to watch Season 4 and had to stop at the beginning of Ep1 when they started arguing about the black guy skipping the basketball game for the D&D game. <record scratch> Will trying again at some point in the next week while on vacation.

    Love, Death & Robots

    So I watched Seasons 2 and 3 back to back; I didn't realize there had been a Season 2 even. All together, it was a much better 17 episode single season than it would have been just watching season 2 alone, thank goodness. Season 3 was way better indeed. Such a mixed bag, I will have to go...

    True Story: I started having pain in my index fingers. Go to the Dr., I now have arthritis in the first joints of my index fingers (otherwise known as the trigger/ R1/L1 button fingers) from 200 hours+ of Elden Ring. Dr asks me if I have been doing anything different lately. Playing this...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    You know, I have been hearing about things like this about Tom Cruise for 30 freaking years. At this point, maybe it all is a lie, and maybe he is in his heart really evil, and perhaps he has a Xenu ray that he can convince people that after he pulls their Good Parts™ out, that he is actually a...

    When I saw this thread, the first thing I thought of was this interview and everyone should watch this, even if the parts where he talks about working with David Milch and Ian McShane. His different era Pacino's are great as well.

    The fact that Paradox games change SO MUCH between updates. Live Service games don't have this delta between DLCs. I set something aside with a 1000+ hours in it and come back to a completely different game. I don't know if its the case here but I was thinking about redownloading this and...

    The way I have heard it, after the Kang conflict, this leads into the new Secret Wars which was headed by Dr. Doom. Just Sucks they have skipped 30 years of great comics and went straight to the terribly written, horribly selling batshit Woke comics of 2012+ for stories. Fuck Gorr and the...

    I grew up near Beaumont. While Beaumont itself is a pretty big if rather suburban town, (150,000+) I assume there are enough rural/country folks competing in 4-H that homeslice would have the ever-living hell beaten out of him before he pretending to plop down in a pen. Not a guarantee, though...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    I was planning on going to see this on Friday but after reading spoilers, I'll wait. Marvel is fucking dead and Feige should have retired after Endgame. He has completely misread the room. It's not that the genre's dead but the people making these movies, who now have all the cards, are...

    I read somewhere that this show was strongly affected by COVID? I think and has been sitting around for while while they waited to finish it? Or something like that. Maybe that changed their plans? Or they couldn't get the actors for long enough to finish a full single run show, so they...

    It was a good episode but a terrible finale. It may be the worst season finale I have ever seen; it was like a mid-season episode. So little resolution. Almost every story thread was left hanging; probably true to the book but this is TV: Adapt it.
