    Since I love Alien/Prometheus this looked like an instant buy for me, went to see if it was out yet... ...not on PS5? You kidding me? Oh well.

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    Well, Rock's signature taunt is a sort of Marxist / Black Power fist in the air. However, that goes all the way back to 1997 as part of the Nation of Domination in WWF, he just kept it forever. He was also friends with Obama, and endorsed Biden. On the flipside, he appeared at several...

    Black Adam (2021)

    I mean, they're not building towards anything. They went from one extreme to the other. "Let's rush team-up movies out ASAP" to "Let's make lots of unconnected one-offs and maybe someday have a team-up who knows" Going from one extreme to the other is lame, and both suck. They could give...

    Black Adam (2021)

    Maybe Rock should be the Kevin Feige of DC. He seems to actually care about giving the fans what they want to see. Pushed really hard to get this Superman thing done and actually build something for the future. Imagine that, building the next movie instead of all of the movies being unconnected...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    I thought Rock was a way better speaker than this, kept losing his train of thought and overlapping sentences and so forth. He might not be the political powerhouse people think he is. ...nor does he seem to want to be anyway. Pretty excited that they've got Superman back in the mix. I think...

    Hellraiser

    Finished the movie. Was okay. The main character was fairly un-likeable. I did like that the Cenobites had a lot to do, and the mansion was a creepy setting. Agree with others that the Cenobite design was way too "busy", sometimes simpler is better. @j00t Both, I think. The character is...

    Hellraiser

    About 20 minutes in here myself and I'm already annoyed. The main character? is a girl who looks like a boy and is like 100% immature lashing out about shit and acting like an idiot I 'member when movies had like, reasonably admirable main characters. Well, whatever. The people behind this...

    Not just ADHD, also anxiety. So I take it Seroquel is bad? I still haven't taken either of those or even opened them, will probably try Abilify eventually.

    One of my girlfriends, took some pictures of her midsection a while back that I'm proud of: Which of these is more aesthetically pleasing, the first or second? I think the second is but I'm not a huge fan of ribs. Hip curvature /chef kiss

    Hellraiser

    I was pretty good at finishing books when I was younger. Pretty much always finished what I started. Only book I remember ever reading and not finishing was Wheel of Time, because it was too damn long! I loved LOTR and Prydain though, and always heard WOT was on that level. Liked the first book...

    JRPGs

    RS2 turned out to be really good, got about 40% through it. Once it makes sense, it's a fairly unique RPG and a lot of fun. It does the "generations" system like Phantasy Star 3, except wrapped in a better game. I've got a question, anyone know of a good/decent ROM site these days? I haven't...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Alright, that's definitely Enterprise-F. Similar design to Voyager but has more in common with Enterprise-E. Almost like a hybrid design of the two. I guess -F was designed by a fan during a contest for Star Trek Online, so they basically yoinked the design for this show. Still wondering what...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Are we sure that's Enterprise-F? Looks like it could be Voyager. Would be interesting if -F was based on Voyager. By the end of the original Trek canon, I think Voyager might have been more powerful than -E. Hard to say. Picard S1/2 were horrendous but this actually looks like a Trek show...

    What are you playing?

    There sure are a ton of indie Metroidvanias nowayears. I still have to play both Ori games AND Hollow Knight. Hard to believe I haven't yet, Super Metroid and Castlevania SOTN were two of my tip-top games growing up so you'd think I'd be gobbling all these up. At least I played Shovel Knight...

    What are you playing?

    My biggest peeve with gaming is when I don't know what to do next and the game doesn't make it clear. When I was younger it was fine, I liked the exploration and all that. Now I want games to at least give me an idea of where to go next and I get really resentful of having my time wasted...

    The War of the Worlds

    Has anyone watched S3 of the Epix series (think it's on Amazon Prime now)? Tempted to check it out because S1 was so good. But S2 was SO BORING. So I don't know which one S3 will be more like. I mainly don't want to spend the time on it if it sucks, so I'm gonna pass on this one unless someone...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This one's interesting because she heals and could theoretically sustain HP against a ton of foes. I think all the non-healing bosses are doomed once you reach a certain number of enemies whittling them down by attrition. Who won the overall boss tournaments for the games? I'm guessing...

    Finished Quake. Now finishing up GTA5, gonna try out Red Dead Redemption 2 next. I didn't play any other RDR games and don't want to go back to PS3 any more than I have to. Wasn't interested in RDR2 at all for a long time but lately I've been remembering how much I loved the Wild West as a kid...

    What even is there to DO in RDR2 for 6000 hours? Apparently he's making some kind of progress if he's distraught over losing a save. I did everything there was to do in Elden Ring (twice) plus a speed run and I spent 130+60+12 hours on it or so, and that was the deepest OW type 1P game I've...

    Yeah I liked the Advanced Warfare campaign a lot. Other people didn't know what I was talking about and said the game sucked. They were probably talking about MP and we were reading different books. When are they gonna remaster Modern Warfare 3 (the old one)? Been waiting for that and instead...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    I think after a while FFRK kinda did require you to do gacha pulls if you wanted to "keep up". It got to the point where every event was throwing like 300 or 400 difficulty bosses at you. I never could beat anything worse than 240 or so because they got so OP that you'd end up doing chip damage...

    Absolutely, bringing in people who chose to jump ship was good. For the first couple years that's what it was. Then in 2021 there was a shift to bringing in WWE cast-offs (fired people). Like a jilted ex, these people could never be fully expected to be loyal to their new company. Matter of...

    I also enjoy the chaos. Lot of bullshit going around, here's what's up with the latest brouhaha: -Andrade threw the first punch and Sammy didn't fight back, hence Andrade being punished more. -Sammy DID do more of the twatter instigating that led to it. Much like the Kingston issue, Sammy...

    Friend and I plowed through most (well, like 70% of the main campaign) of Grand Theft Auto 5 over a weekend game binge. I'd never played that one before. It's definitely a lot more user-friendly than the last one I played, San Andreas. Between both of us (he's a GTA pro) it was no problem. Now...

    The Woman King (2022)

    Alright I think we can all agree that -Nobody expected this to bring in BP numbers -The people behind TWK still wanted to capture a "cultural zeitgeist moment" the way BP did and maybe experience a large surge So you both have points. If it had captured any remote "cultural zeitgeist" it...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    Damn, that really sucks. I remembered it just a few days too late to actually go back and see the finished (I assume) realms. Last time I got up to date in the realms was early 2022. Bummed out now. Kinda surprised they shut it down at all. People who whaled in the game over time (or just...

    Since I love The Thing I kinda have to try it. It's actually $20 on Switch. Probably not worth $20 digital if it's short with no replayability. Definitely seems like an interesting concept though. I just paid $25 for a physical one so I can sell it later and that's a bit better. I recoup...

    Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

    Did they shut this down yet? And did they ever end up adding all of the final bosses? Last time I played it, the entire series was up to their final bosses, just about, but only some of the games had their final bosses.

    I checked out "Super Mario Bros 5" via Mario Maker 2 on Switch. If you have MM2 and are subbed to Nintendo's online service, you can download this game, and it's pretty solid. Way above most fan-made games. 40 levels (I got through about half of 'em so far) and the eight worlds each follow a...

    Has anyone on this board played Carrion? Loosely based on The Thing, except you play AS The Thing and move around stalking the humans throughout a base / spaceship / unsure. Looks good and IIRC it's like $10 on Switch. I'll probably check it out at some point.

    Black Adam (2021)

    I'll see it in theaters if time permits. I like DC's general vibe of being slightly dark movies compared to the Marvel gigglefests, and I have a feeling this'll finally be a decent DJ movie. I also got Snitch from the library on somebody's recommendation, hopefully he's good in that.

    I've suggested to doctors before that I think I have some 'tism, and they always just handwave it away and dismiss it. Man, I hate doctors.

    Is that why some of the Mickey Mouse Club (or whatever it was called) grew up to be total mental breakdown whack jobs? Ms Marvel shits on men? I mean I know She Hulk is kinda anti-men, but I was under the impression that Ms Marvel is a fairly harmless show that is just geared towards teenage...

    She-Hulk

    I dunno, outfits that make the chest look flat seem to be becoming pretty common in media and probably games (at least, the TLOU2 / Saint's Row type stuff). Sex appeal is being de-emphasized, and as some on here put it, it's getting to where you have to look to Japanese games if you want actual...
