Babylon - What a goddamn self-indulgent Hollywood piece of crap. Music was good. 4/10.

Thanks, this is a lot more readable. So what's the deal with the Protocols of Zion? I've seen them referenced in so many places (like this) but half the time when they come up it's in the form of "the discredited Protocols". Yet I still see them cited, and I don't know if the "discredited"...

I expect them to pay off the cab driver and tell everyone accusing him to shut up if they know what's good for them. They really want Majors to be the Hollywood golden boy now. Who's they? IDK. Besides all that, he still has to do the George Floyd Movie eventually. Probably coming out in May...

He's a hell of an actor and I really liked him in everything I've seen him in. That said something about him also gave me the willies, and I'm a good judge of character, so not surprised he's got a violent/abusive edge. I expect Marvel to keep him on and take the drubbing for it. Guy was...

What's the Rift, anyway? Also, any content from the Hobbit? It's been 27ish years since I read the book, and I don't even remember The Battle of Five Armies being a part of it at all. Like I remember the book ending with the fall of Smaug. I need to look this up.

Good idea...if it's a classic Severilous equivalent.

The Pixel Remasters are coming out on console in like a month or so. Can get some of those, think they're retailing at $15 each on the e-stores. For straight turn-based, FF1 and FF3 are solid AF. 4-6 use ATB which I don't think is what you're specifically talking about but regardless they'll be...

At one point I got tired of all these rich people talking down to the protagonist so I just went postal on a bunch of them. Then ALL of my party members immediately ditched me and had a lot of choice complaints to make. It was hilarious. Then I reloaded of course. A lot of the environments in...

You had me at Assgoblinry. A lot of people would enjoy that.

Yo, that's uh...that's Vin Diesel

How different from BG1+2 is Divinity? Since BG3 is apparently gonna be more like Divinity I'm curious what the difference is. Yeah it seems like the Abyss is really the big threat of the D&D verse, not Hell (which I always thought was the ultimate foe). So now I'm getting more interested in...

Naw. I'm the same way. While PS4 and PS5 were both day-one buys for me, the last 5 Nintendo systems were all things I bought 1-3 years after they launched when they had a couple of exclusives I had to play.

I think this actually has a reasonable chance of being close to the truth. Server 1 being truebox sux though. All I want from TLP this year is to try running an RTS box group like Tuco and I'm not gonna run a bunch of laptops. Server 2 would be pretty DOA. A few of the power players on here...

Is it the Keep Key? That's the only key I've got in the inventory. Might have to go back in there and figure this out. Just finished the longest quest I've done so far in the BG series (go into the Ruined Temple and defeat the Shade Lord to basically free the nearby town from their murdering)...

I got the key off the wizard guy. I think it was used up when I freed The Child from the jail cell though cause I don't see it in the inventory now... One of my party members (the girl with the wealthy friends) just got arrested out of nowhere so I'm down a member. Yeah I've got +1 across the...

That's a good answer. Hell would almost certainly be playing defense the whole time and fighting on their own terrain. I never even considered the idea of Hell invading the Abyss and conquering it because such a thing seems impossible. And the attrition would be a big thing too. Somebody should...

Tricksy hobbitses? I have an important question if anyone wants to answer it: Do you get to raid the Balrog? Not necessarily THE Balrog (Durin's Bane? Was that his name?) but A Balrog that's like equivalently cool?

What is?

That's a good answer. Hell would almost certainly be playing defense the whole time and fighting on their own terrain. I never even considered the idea of Hell invading the Abyss and conquering it because such a thing seems impossible. And the attrition would be a big thing too. Somebody should...

You're probably not talking about me, but either way at least I'm talking about EQ-adjacent stuff. Been doing lore dives on D&D lately for Baldur's Gate and so forth.

Yeah. I got a small whiff of "lol white man dumb" early on when they were all in the bar and Phoenix was acting more like an overconfident ace pilot man than any of the actual men were and that one timid nerd showed up. But no, the movie didn't continue on that track at all. Everyone in the...

I'm not. When I do try, I generally find one. After having a streak of one after another from 2009 through 2018 I needed a fairly substantial break.

I picked up some of the suggestions in this thread! And speaking of the Hells, I just posed a question in my CRPG thread that probably should have gone in this thread instead now that I think about it, but yeah, I welcome any input on the subject: Rajaah's CRPG Blog If the link doesn't work...

Since the subject of D&D lower planes came up earlier, and "Descent Into Avernus" talks about the Blood War quite a bit, I've got a question for D&D lore hounds. If Hell and the Abyss fought to the death, which side would win? They're the two biggest and baddest monster-oriented planes in the...

That reminds me of how I discovered the Mailer-Daemon and how weird it was. In 1997 or so I was reading a guide on Gamefaqs or whatever the equivalent was back then. There was a major error in the guide and the guy said to email him with any corrections or additions, etc, so I did. His email...

@Raes Damn, I misread the definition of Gifted. I thought it reduced your SP gain by 5 per level. I think that's what the description says. So I thought that meant you only gained like 2 SP per level or something. Didn't know it was 5 percent. Almost considering starting over just to get it now...

Yep, one of the reasons I just don't like Switch visuals. It's basically stuck in 2014 (Wii U) level visuals. Similar to how Wii's visuals were pretty much the same as Gamecube's with added system innovations. I guess the Switch 2 or whatever is next will finally move the visuals forward if...

As for D&D, I managed to get ahold of the 2000 movie and its sequel I didn't know existed, Wrath of the Dragon God. Working on tracking down the third and final one, Book of Vile Darkness or whatever. Unsurprisingly that one is hard to find, I don't think anyone else knows it exists either...

John Wick 1 and 4 are both in my Top 5 action movies of all time. The rest of said Top 5? Aliens, Terminator 2, The Raid. So they're in good company. Get with it, @Burns !

FALLOUT UPDATE -Got a party member, the guy with big Aquaman hair in the first town. -Nobody has any gorram caps to trade so I can barely make any money from selling stuff. Have a bunch of stuff to sell at this point and nobody to sell it to. -There we go, got the 3 ropes in Sandy town. -Got...

SU-57 was my guess after looking at some "fifth generation" lists. Not certain Iran has those in the real world, but I'm still gonna stand by my assessment that the "enemy country" was Iran. Movie certainly isn't above taking liberties.

Yeah my question was about the in-movie reason, but the real world reason is also interesting. So basically they had to use F-18s and worked around it with a plot contrivance. And yeah I do consider that a plot contrivance, especially considering how outmatched they were. Don't see any reason...

I've never been clear on the difference between "demon" and "daemon" or if there even is one. In D&D there's a location difference in that daemons occupy a certain plane (Hades? IDK) while demons occupy the Abyss and devils occupy Hell. I think Hades / daemons represent neutral evil while...

Watched this on my huge 65'' OLED. Yeah, I wish I'd caught it in theaters but I think this'll suffice. Phoenix (Monica Barbaro) was hot as hell and everybody here was likeable. Great movie, but I'm a little confused. I think I missed something. Why did they use F-18s for the bombing mission...

This got posted in an EQ thread (for some reason) but it's pretty interesting due to the timeline involved going from top to bottom. Anyone have a higher-res version of it that's actually readable?

On a bit of a movie-watching crusade the last week or so, trying to clear a backlog I've had building up for a while. John Wick 4 - 11/10, already gave my thoughts on this in its thread and think that it's a contender for best action movie ever. Not certain though, Aliens/T2/Wick 1/The Raid are...

FALLOUT 1 TIME -Started out with the above stats. My character doesn't seem to be able to say anything besides guttural noises. Hilarious so far. Thinking about doing a murderhobo run since my character can't communicate with anybody anyway. -Have no goddamn clue what to do so I ran around...

I'm...I'm actually not sure.

Oh yeah, I forgot about how expensive N64 games were at launch. I couldn't afford the system + Mario 64. The N64 cartridges were also noticeably heavier than SNES which was kind of interesting. Ended up getting a PS1 instead a year later + FF7, and a used N64 some time in 1999 for like $50 from...

Plus, you can plug a PS5 controller into a PC and use it with emulators. So between that and the visual upgrade, it'd basically be like playing BOTW on PS5 if you have a decent size monitor.
