    Voyagers (2021)

    well, it wouldn't be a movie if something exciting didn't happen, I guess but I think this would be a better book; probably has been a better book.

    The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

    He's not even really a villain here. He was certainly a villain in Winter Soldier but in this he is a crazily compelling character. I definitely wanted to see him get away. the Dora fight scene was great but surely someone who they made Cap would know who the Wakandans are, I mean in more than...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    It goes back way further than the Division. What was that Super Hero MMO where they had a ton of betas, all powers were fine, then they had launch weekend and someone like Koster came in and advised them to NERF EVERYTHING because everyone was leveling too fast and having too much fun. So they...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    I remember at one point I did a build with a CPU cooler that had like a 92mm fan as the CPU cooler. The pitch on that thing lead me make my next machine more quiet and not have any fans less than 120mm fans, and probably kept me from jumping on the renewed AMD bandwagon sooner because they had...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    The cover isn't meant for you; this isn't a cover shooter. Its a trap. The Cover is for the bad guys. Don't use it. The healing mechanics are there to reward aggression and aggressive motion. Use the radar to position yourself if you are moving and want to know where to boss is but if you...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I just got to the Quarry and hit WT7. After meeting , I was hoping for the story to take a different turn. Normally spoilers don't bother me but knowing the game has this in store.../sigh. I prepared an argument as to why this Outriders was better than Anthem, in part based upon the lack of...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    This is god damn disappointing. The way things were playing out, I just assumed they were going to do something different and refreshing. It retroactively changes the nature of the story you are witnessing building into something else, from what I thought it was going to be to something...

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I have tried to get on a couple of times today; no joy either time, currently just spinning for me on the PS5. May be restoring from Power Save causing the issue, will try killing the game and starting fresh. Total buzzkill, though, from my most anticipated game in a long time. Hopefully once...

    Yeah, bought the game for kids, got it loaded and then we all crashed, game down again. /sigh Either stuck on the Molten Acari or can't log in at all.

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    Played until 2:45AM, already level 12; WT6, had to re-learn to play a bit with some ring rust coming back. Story is a touch unexpected so far but OK so far.

    Its going to be 12AM EDT for me, I wonder if that's true for anyone else. Unlocks in 5min. 11PM local time.

    Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

    It was actually pretty good, and I was entertained a higher level than I expected given the tenor of the thread: Not to pick on Araxen, but it was way more "I liked it" than "If you are looking for a semi-decent story, you are going to be SOL"; It WAS a semi-decent story. Were there nits to...

    Unlocks at 11:00 CDT, which is 05:00 GMT 1-April, if my internal GMT clock isn't still broken from the DST switch a few weeks ago. 57 min on my PS5 countdown as of a 1 min ago.

    My daughter is super-excited to see this, We are going to the IPIC theater to see it tomorrow night and have dinner. I just got all 4 seats in the row so we can relax.

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    All the classes were really fun, the Pyro took the longest for me to sync up with but I bet they get super powerful later. We really only get a few skills to look at and who knows how our views of the classes will evolve. I will play Devastator/Trickster/Techno/Pyro. Trickster is easily the...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I sold cars for a year and a bit as a day job near the end of college in 94?, and I was trying to get some real work experience beyond night clubs and gyms. I went to one of those "Do you have what it takes?" training seminars at a dealership and got hired. I found that I was good at it and...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Read something like 3 DLCs and 10 free content updates. I am real close to the end and wanting to max out my character level before I finish up but I think I have cleaned the map out and only level 47. I just have Goro's quest and the final one left to do.

    Guild Wars 2

    Are there that many gamers who hate clicking another icon? You're *supposed* to have a messy desktop. Kids, ffs. Satan shoes and steam icons.

    One point about those factories being built in the US is that they are also hedges against invasion of Taiwan, or illegal blockading/restricting of commerce and/or in the South China Sea.

    Justice League (2017)

    The Snyder cut is already super progressive, btw: Wonder Woman has tons of lines that speak to super stronk WOMENS, Like "You can be anything you want", "I belong to no one" Super muscle chicks hammering down the temple, etc. If you ever want to know what the progressive color counters want to...

    You mean, Panderman. There is zero reason to make Superman black other than to assert full cultural dominance at this point.

    Guild Wars 2

    Launch GW2 is my favorite MMO of all time, and Heart of Thorns is my least-favorite MMO expansion. I played some in Path of Fire and that was better but I just can't recapture that pull with all of the other stuff they have layered on top of that base experience.

    Invincible

    I will second that, this was awesome for a long time, and then it just lost the thread, I didn't think it was SJW reasons but its been a few years. For a long run it was a really, really great book, though. I was excited to see they were making the show, and the art style looked very true to...

    Playstation 5

    Flat, if you put two rows of keys on it, it looks like something Peter Gabriel or Martin Gore would have played in 1984. Upright, "World's biggest consumer internet router" is so the wrong look for this gen.

    In the first battle, as I understand it, he doesn't have the Omega force and he is still Uxas; I can't remember if she calls him Darkseid there or not.

    The Witcher

    The fuck. Have you ever read the books? I don't just have issues with all blackwashing; there are lots of characters, white, black, etc. not in-line/fitting with the characters as they are in the books and it sucks. [Edit: Djisktra for example is supposed to be a hulking brute but is actually...

    The Witcher

    Going to disagree about Djikstra. I mean, I love Graham McTavish but he is nothing like what I imagined Djikstra to be. At least he is a great actor, so there's that. So much of this casting is like a USC stage production of The Witcher. Fuck this lady and her stupid politics. I thought...

    This. I have come to hate fiddle-fucking with my kids' PCs. I have three rigs that are 3/4th built but need to swap CPUs to do bios upgrades, or I need a new video card to complete, or the LED fan controllers don't work and I don't want to spend an afternoon when I am working 70 hour weeks...

    Playstation 5

    As I said at launch, Sony totally lost the thread with the hardware this gen. I guess in context, if you are only thinking in a big room context, sure but the shape is so unusual, and not in a good way. "Piano-Big" is how I described it at launch. I look forward to 2025 when I can buy the PS5...
