    Cyberpunk 2077

    I think it looks great. You would think with TW3 they would have earned the benefit of the doubt but I guess you just can't please some people.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Won my first squad game last night and was weird. Got into a firefight with another squad almost as soon as we touched down (killed them all) then didn't see anyone else and 'won' by being holed up in a tower waiting for someone to show up while everyone else died and we were the only 4 left in...

    Best 80's Action Movie and Why it's probably Die Hard

    I'd probably lean Predator over anything else. It's more violent than Die Hard, better weapons, stealth, etc. But it was a great decade for the genre.

    Hearthstone

    I'm also sorta in the same mindset. I still play casually on the phone just to do quests but other than that I really don't care anymore. My guess is a good chunk of the playerbase that plays this game for any length of time probably winds up with that mindset. Which is actually pretty bad...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    This game does set up for some funny moments. I got into a situation where I was in a building and guy runs in and I throw a disco ball at him. Of course he also had a disco ball and threw it at me at the same time. We both dance then a third guy comes in and basically kills both of us.

    Safe

    I'm currently midway through. It's 'ok' I guess, for some reason I thought it would be a little more darker than it is though.

    Hearthstone

    100% agree. It's like they create (and test) all these new cards in a vacuum without seeing the interactivity with other cards. The worst design in recent memory has to be the first version of Quest Rogue. I have no idea how you can't see that is some of the most OP crap you can put in your...

    Hearthstone

    On Dark Pact, I agree that I think some of you are minimizing the impact of health from 8 to 4. That's a big deal, I've seen cubelocks come back from the dead where they were in single digits. This change makes recovery harder than before. I'm indifferent on the other nerfs. I honestly am...

    Gaming funk

    I usually get into these phases where I'm not completely 'gamed out', I just don't have the time or patience to devote a serious amount of time to a particular game. It's usually during these stretches where I'm only playing 'quick' games like Fortnite or even Hearthstone, because I'm only...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    I'll be honest, I've been playing this game for a few months now and I've probably visited the leaderboard 3-4 times at the most. Sometimes I'm curious how many kills I have but other than that I don't see much point to it. If there is a hidden MMR, Epic has designed the game to make that...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Re: Popularity I think what was said above pretty much nails it. It has 3 main things: low barrier for entry (free) non-toxic (very limited talking contributes to this) Fast games (the average game for somebody is probably 5-10 minutes and then you can quickly just jump into another game) A...

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Patch launched today, haven't got in there yet. From what I've seen Dusty Depot got hit with the comet but it may not be the last. TBH I'm somewhat surprised this thread isn't more active on this forum considering the popularity of it (I think we can probably say it's surpassed PUBG in terms...

    Homeland

    So was that the season finale? Or are there more episodes? I would assume they would want to resolve the presidential issue this season. I also don't think they are trying to end the series. I think if she actually choose her daughter over her spy life that would pretty much end it there...

    Ready Player One (2018)

    Thinking back on it, the biggest disappointment for me is in the movie he doesn't really play a 'game' in the sense like he did in the book. It would of been awesome if he actually had to play Joust or Zork or the D&D module. I still think the movie was ok, just not great.

    Hearthstone

    I caved and crafted shudderwock since I was already gifted hagatha (don't have Grumble). I must just have serious bad luck in this game because in probably 10 games so far, shudderwock only saw play in 3 of them. Hagatha was more of the mvp in games i've won, the constant shaman spells start...

    Why would they ask him hard questions? Every single one of these senators has a facebook page which they depend on to reach out to constituents.

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I also had the thought that you could make the book into an 8 episode Netflix series where it really slows the pace between the keys. I would imagine something like that would be pretty expensive to make though, especially once you factor in all the licenses that are needed.

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I'll agree that the book as a whole was better, doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the movie though. One part I forgot about that was in the book is when Wade is on planet Zork which would of been great if they were able to put that in the movie.

    Ready Player One (2018)

    I thought it was very good 7.5/10, maybe closer to an 8. Yes the story isn't top notch but you don't go see a movie like this for the story. I had read the book too and I was kind of hoping they would of kept the Joust part in there but oh well. I thought the Shining part was very good. My...

    The Netflix Thread

    Currently watching Flint Town. Cop documentary where the moral of the story is Flint's problems go way beyond the water issue. Decent but basically just like that show COPS.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    Honestly it's one of those games that you play like crazy for a few weeks/a month and then I can see just burning out on it. There isn't really any advancement other than skins.

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    It's just mindless and addictive. It's hard to take it too seriously for a number of reasons. Just pop in, grab some loot/kills, die, rinse and repeat. The battle pass is actually very smart, it lets you shoot for things beyond just killing people. Add in the fact that it's free and it's not...

    The Netflix Thread

    I know, towards the end of it they tried to make you feel a little sorry for the guy (like putting his daughter up there, saying he has nothing now) and I'm like dude, you still live in basically a mansion. Best part is they ask him straight up 'are you a moral person' and his reply is 'I'm a...

    The Netflix Thread

    I'm currently watching the Dirty Money documentary. Basic premise is about corporate greed with each episode on a specific company. So far watched two episodes and it's pretty good (1st was on the VW emissions case, 2nd on a payday loan scam).

    The Netflix Thread

    If anyone is interested in documentaries, The Keepers is pretty good. It's made by the same people that did Making a Murderer. Basically about the unsolved murder of a nun but expands to show how much the Catholic church will cover up stuff.

    Homeland

    About this last episode, you would think Carrie would know better considering her background not to download random files off the internet, especially from 4chan. I did laugh at O'Keefe clocking himself in the head after shooting the gun though.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Was a great game. If you want to look at where they possibly lost, Pats had the ball 4 different times inside the Eagles 40 in the first half and only got 6 points out of that. I agree though that their D couldn't stop Philly at all. Even beyond all that though, I still expected the Pats to...

    Surprisingly I only own Bully from the top 2 tiers so picking up the BTA was a no brainer. I've always wanted to own Vice City anyway. Solid bundle if you don't own most of these.

    Shameless

    I was also questioning if it was the finale. When you think about it though the only open storylines are Ian and Debbie. Everyone else pretty much resolved their storylines (Frank didn't even really have one this season).

    MLB 2018

    They took it off the uniform but still retain marketing rights. In other words, they are still going to make money off of it in merchandising.

    XFL

    While I kind of agree with you, what you are describing is basically the NFL 'minor leagues'. Can something like that co-exist with the NFL, similar to how minor league baseball and even the NBA development league works? Possibly but then again I'm not sure that's what Vince is trying to...

    XFL

    TV contracts are what makes every professional league. Good luck trying to be successful playing in low tier stadiums with nobody paying attention. We can rag on the NFL all we want, they still are a billion(s) dollar industry with expensive stadiums/high end practice facilities and equipment...

    XFL

    Exactly there is a reason why other times this has been tried (USFL, XFL 1.0, NFL Europe) and it never works. Nobody is going to sit there and watch players you never heard of. Someone mentioned San Diego as a possible city. They couldn't draw flies with actual NFL players but yet there going...

    XFL

    Unless they can get top level players (and it would have to be a decent amount of them), it's going to run into the same issues that every other side/sub league runs into, no matter the sport. Basically, nobody going to watch if you don't have the top athletes on your teams. He obviously...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Eh, I thought the movie was ok. Not great (thought TFA was better) but I still don't think it's near the prequels. I agree the Leia Poppins scene was pretty ridiculous (that would of been a hell of a way to die, Ren can't do it but she gets it anyway) but other than that I didn't mind the...
