    The Matrix reboot/remake

    No, it's lazy writing and the two sequels are full of it because they don't really know what to do with their Jesus allegory once he goes Super Saiyan. Jesus 2.0 is literally jobbed out by a rogue A.I. and doesn't even get his heat back later.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    Rules? RULES? The rules of the Train Man's pocket dimension are no different than the rules of ANY computer system. Some of them can be bent. Others can be broken. Except not here for some reason. The power of The One extends beyond The Matrix. He psychically fries squids in the desert of the...

    Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Return

    The early seasons with Joel were a bit subdued at times but could still be very good. Mr. B is maybe my favorite MST3K anything.

    @mkopec Zaide's a 20-hours-a-day-in-a-full-premade-sleeping-in-shifts-until-this-shit's-on-farm kinda guy. The racing aside going super big at the open is just so damned helpful. I hadn't really ever gotten to take advantage of actual organization before this last set of prog servers and just...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Something that might be interesting would be the addition of a few additional raid encounters. It wouldn't take much. You could just pick yourself up the model for Vox, add a bunch of crazy shit, and have it spawn somewhere shitty and useless. Maybe put a super lethal Faydeder into Erud's...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    The highway action sequence in Reloaded was cool but it required removing Neo from the board so the other characters could do something and then he still saves the day in the end. They just had no idea how to write Neo after he had all the powers of The One. He has to flee from Smith but he's...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I think Zaide's got the fastest prog server dragon kills at 40 and 44 hours and those versions didn't have Mitigation of the Mighty or pet aggro changes. I'd think 3-4 days? You'll actually need a real tank and real healers.

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    I think that betting on nerfed pet defenses, the pet aggro changes on raid targets, and then Mitigation of the Mighty + Mark of the Old Ways is reasonable. Did Phinny have the pet aggro changes for its entire duration? I'm curious how quickly they were able to take down Vox and Nagafen and what...

    I know, let's have Morpheus do absolutely fucking nothing in the entire final movie and have no conclusion of any kind! He can be Naomi's co-pilot for a big chase scene! Good job everyone, hand-jobs all around.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    I've seen a couple different bits of fiction where what everyone else was able to come up with ended up being better than the creators later additions to their own work. It's like you watch this movie or read this book and your mind is opened up to all kinds of possibilities. There's just all...

    7th Day Adventist I watched the Animatrix before I saw Reloaded and while the consistency is all over the place the good parts of that are so much better anything we got in Reloaded or Revolutions.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    No edit - it's a simple bit of dialogue between Neo and the Oracle. Neo is all like BUT THE OLD GUY SAID X and the Oracle is all like LOL HE CAN'T FIND HIS ASS WITH TWO HANDS AND A FLASHLIGHT That's verbatum.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    You can also get a free heroic character on a brand new account so you could set up a couple of them if you wanted. I can't actually see playing one though. You entire into the game and all your gear has clicks and you have a full hotbar of abilities with no tool tips and a mountain of AA and...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Kunark was the big surprise to me on this last batch of prog servers. The nostalgia in my noodle was anchored there because it was a period I played a great deal of but I wasn't a raider or anything. In actually that expansion is shallow as fuck.

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Although not included in that list Agnarr will also have full raid instancing like Phinny. It was confirmed in their Livestream thing today. Also, you can log in until the end of the month and get a free decked out level 85 (heroic) character. It's handy to have one if your account is a prog...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    That script had some problems but it had some interesting artifacts in it as well. Instead of taking place an indeterminate amount of time after the first movie this version takes place immediately. See, there's a finite amount of time after someone becomes The One before the machines adapt so...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    In one of the unused scripts for Reloaded that scene went a bit differently. Instead of it being a big fight with zero consequences (that kinda looks like shit) Neo is killing Smith after Smith after Smith until the bodies are literally piling up. He sees what looks like a dead Trinity in the...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    The film writes itself. You do a prequel / soft reboot with a young Morpheus as the protagonist. He's played by Jaden Smith. His mentor, someone we have not previously seen, is played by Will Smith. You basically retell the story of the first Matrix except you kill off Will Smith in a scene...

    They make the spectator (lol, MtG spectators) experience pretty shit. Every match is the following - both players shuffle a bunch, look at their hands, one or both players decided to shuffle more, game starts, player 1 shuffles his deck, player 2 shuffles his deck, player 1 shuffles his deck...

    Ronne and I have been talking about this for a while now and this is what I'm always bitching about. There just aren't punishes available. In Ye Old Days if you were getting rocked by something you could go to the card pool and find ways to tackle it. That isn't the case right now. There's real...

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    That behavior doesn't match what we've seen from them. It was an odd clip. The trailer looks pretty good but at the same time this doesn't look enough like it's own movie to me. Do we just assume it's a soft reboot?

    Hearthstone

    It's cool seeing a new card type and the effect looks powerful but being down one card in the early game is rough for any deck. The mana cost is also not insignificant. It could really matter in the first couple turns of the game that you blew one mana on a card that did absolutely nothing.
