    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    Seriously - I find Culkin completely repulsive and can barely watch anything he is in. To me he has the charisma of a thorn bush. He dropped a line about watching this movie with his "lady" and I just figure that has to be his female cat. I won't lie - I did watch it all the way through...

    Half-Life: Alyx

    I have a Vive and I wish I didn't feel nauseous just looking at it. I hear they are working on refresh speed apparently helping this, but I am beyond hope. I get the mouth sweats just thinking about the last time I tried to play VR Subnautica. Oh god, excuse me....... And then my kid gets in...

    What did you just read?

    Figured I better leave the Dune movie thread alone, right after doing a quick drive-by. Just finishing Book 6 of the Dune series, Chapterhouse. I've read 1 to 6 with one palate cleanser after book 3. I have to say Chapterhouse is the worst of the bunch and I've actually started skipping...

    Dune (2020)

    I just wanted to drop in here and say I can't believe Herbert dropped the Jews into the 6th book (Chapterhouse). Also this book is a complete fucking drag and I am 2/3 of the way done - easily the worst in the series imo. Anyway, any news on the movie?

    Path of Exile

    This annoys me, but, seriously, congrats. When I finally got to killing Shaper on the regular a league ago, I killed him twice in league and then something like a dozen times in Standard and I never saw the sword OR the potion. This is my typical ARPG luck, though, so it didn't get me TOO...

    The Irishman (2018)

    Well fuck. DeNiro has become such a senile laughing stock, such a complete un-self-aware moron, that I do not want to like anything he does anymore. And he has done a damn good job of late making that an easy task. But fuck me that trailer makes this look like a must watch.

    Charlie's Angels (2019)

    For one hot minute Stewart looked delectable in the preview with the long, blonde hair. She's actually a decent looking woman, but she is so "fight the man" that I really feel like she tries to dump it up on purpose. When she is made up with the long blonde locks before telling us all that she...

    Path of Exile

    Welp - I reinstalled the client over the weekend. I guess that is the beginning concession of possibly playing 3.9. As long as you guys let me know what the faceroll build of the league turns out to be, I should be good. As long as it isn't minions, because I just can't play minions in this...

    Path of Exile

    Well, I am not going to lie, that trailer made me hard. I said they need to do a lot to bring me back after my last exit, I think that just did it. I may still not play 3.9, but I am definitely going to be in on the 2 launch.

    Bought a new computer. FoH freezes up every time there is a GIF on a page. WTF. Solution - turn off "use hardware acceleration when available" in settings. Google Chrome? Bitch please.

    Fantasy Island (2020)

    So..........Careful What You Wish For, the Movie? But it's Blumhouse so it has to have a horror ending, right? No: "I learned my lesson now maybe I will live my life better" kind of result? I recall the show actually scaring me occasionally as a kid. But I never watched it much so I cannot...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I have played it briefly up to the end of Act II with a Barb and it IS overwhelming. It's clunky but there are some interesting changes in there with EVERYTHING if you are willing to take the time. But you need to take the time. In this respect, it is like PoE Diablo because you have to watch...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    We've all fallen for the "52 Pick Up" once in our lives. And once for the "Alt-F4" thing too. It's nothing to be ashamed of! Provided it is only the once, of course. I tried 52 pick up on my kid and he just snorted in disgust and walked away. Fucking kids these days, no respect.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    What's with this "pick a side:" thing? As Nephilim YOU were a side. Demons and Angels were terrified of you because you were the rock to their scissors. You were the crux that unsettled the balance between light and dark. I don't remember the details from Act IV in Diablo III, but before...

    Death Stranding

    I've been watching this thread closely, and I have to say the most disconcerting thing about this game is the fucking social media shit. So Kojima was like: How do I get the Millennials to buy into this game? I know, include likes and friend requests!!!!! How do I get easy support for this...

    Jedi Fallen Order (By Respawn Entertainment)

    Two things: First - Without going through this thread because I have to leave work in 3 mins, is this primarily console, PC secondary? Because it looks like a console game to me based on that. And I would love to be a "console guy", but in spite of the fact I have had a PS4 for years, I still...

    Jojo Rabbit (2019)

    Man, I read the byline and thought, quite literally "Fuck you, that sounds like the stupidest group of words put together of all time". Then I saw the cast. Then I watched the teaser. Now I want to see it. I am a MASSIVE fan of Sam Rockwell. I will watch just about anything he is in, he is...

    Terminator (2019)

    But isn't the whole point well beyond Fate in the multiverse concept? Every decision splits into a new universe so that there are infinite threads and infinite universes. So you go back and kill Hitler and just create a new thread. When you return to the "present" do you return to your...

    Path of Exile

    The only reason they were able to add 6 acts was because all but Act 5 and 10 were repurposed Acts 1 - 4. If they gave us 6 more repurposed Acts 5-10 it would not be a selling point. And I still maintain Acts 5 and 10 are the worst. I dislike Cage and Laboratory map layouts as well. City...

    Motherless Brooklyn (2019)

    Interesting pile-on with Norton. I always thought he was pretty good. Like most genres, it's all perspective, and one man's garbage and all that. But Norton has been relatively steady in all of his performances over his career. I feel like he kinda dropped off after he played that stupid...

    Contend with this? Contend with what?? This is the ghost of a ghost. I bet dollars to donuts they acknowledge it with a small smile, make some comment on how they look like they are trying to copy PoE, and move on.

    I have been ass deep in work of late so I have not seen any of the press on this yet. But reading this page alone leads me to believe it is Euro-Truck Simulator 2019 - On Foot In Science Fiction Land? I mean, the Truck Simulator games have a huge following, specifically because of the...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Along with a western release of Lost Ark, D2 reforged would be pants-raisingly awesome. But even better? D4 as a modern take on the ARPG genre, because I fully admit my nostalgic bias with respect to D2. Even though I DO still play it.

    Dune (2020)

    "Oh, I see you aren't into real girls" was a direct reference to Joi - the music went off in his pocket when the ho was talking to him. Apparently everyone knows what that music represents. They did make sure it played enough earlier so that you did too. They pretty much laid out the memory...

    Terminator (2019)

    While I agree that Hollywood has become an incestuous cauldron of delusion, I think risk aversion is what has killed the entertainment industry. More and more studios are being run with an iron fist by bean-counters and analysts, so the bottom line has not only trumped but quashed most forms of...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Hellgate: Diablo would actually be pretty fucking cool. I have just about as many fond memories of Hellgate as I do D2. Perhaps more buggy nightmares, but I did really enjoy Hellgate. Look at the Steam reviews of its latest iteration - it is a dumpster fire of epic proportions. I managed to...

    Path of Exile

    I wrote a book about the differences between D3 and PoE, but the bottom line is that each has strengths and weaknesses. Build diversity and non-class loot structure pushed PoE above D3 for me for years. But I have been out of PoE since week 2 of the league and back into D3 and enjoying it...

    Dune (2020)

    So I finished BR2049 and, yeah, it was his weakest effort to date in my opinion. I think I liked it better on second viewing, but knowing K's story arc in advance does take the wind out of it all a bit. Regardless, I have high hopes here. Right, they cannot "book" it 100%, not even remotely...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    They can't. Not only is there no more lane, the road ended miles back and they are driving through open desert now.....heading for a canyon. There, took that metaphor and drove it right into the dirt. The dirt that used to be a road. YEET!

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Welp, I have been back to playing a D3 Barb in short spurts here and there before the end of the season, and in no way is Diablo remotely comparable to PoE in any way "hardcore" from level 1 to endgame. I admit to not doing "hardcore" (ell o ell) grift pushing in Diablo 3 because I have better...

    The best part of this chart is that it starts at 4 because "every woman is at least a 4 crazy". I am still laughing at that.
