    The Thing (1982)

    Checking that out. I see right at the start that they've got Childs penned as a Thing. If there was any time where he got switched, it was while he was guarding that door. There's a decent book of short stories inspired by Who Goes There, available on Amazon: Amazon.com: Short Things: Tales...

    The Thing (1982)

    Oh boy, Carpenter's The Thing is my favorite movie of all time. It doesn't even have competition, though the original Terminator, Big Trouble in Little China (also from Carpenter), and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1977 version) are the closest things to being competition for me. That's my...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    I thought Man of Steel was pretty good for what it was. Liked the darker tone of things like that and the Nolan Batmans compared to what Marvel was doing. My main beef with the DCU is that they didn't continue along that vein with the other movies. There didn't seem to be any kind of schedule or...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    I was actually planning on resuming my chanter on Aradune for Luclin because AE groups would be fun and catching up would be a snap. Well...nevermind, I guess. Things like this should be handled on a case-by-case basis. I could see situations where AEing is actually considered zone disruption...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    I should check out Shazam. I've seen everything else (except BoP) and didn't think I was missing anything. If people are ranking it at #1 or #2 for DC movies then I'll definitely give it a look.

    Music Keyboards

    I've got a question for the musically-inclined here. I've been wanting to get a real music keyboard since I was a kid playing on a mini-casio. It just sorta left my mind for a long time until recently when I was taking a look at some Masterclass videos on keyboard-playing and the urge struck...

    Since PoG is getting discussed here...anyone remember what the deal is with abstruse phantasm? I've looked for it in both static and instanced PoG, cleared the zone, everything.

    Yeah, after I processed the grief today I found myself pissed-off at the way WWE held him hostage for so long. It seemed like he was just getting started in AEW and I couldn't wait to see him finally reach his potential. What an awful day.

    Black Desert

    Been seeing ads for this everywhere, it's playable on PS5, and Nova is pretty hot. Considering giving it a go. Like the look of the Witch class. Only problem is I've got a lot to do in EQ and I've still got LOTRO and FF14 to get into at some point when EQ dies down. Adding another MMO is...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    The only time I like "hero immediately loses all of their powers" as a trope is when some video games do it. Your Metroid Primes, your God of Wars. You get to play an intro area with most of your powers, to see what you've got to look forward to, and then the game lets you go out and collect all...

    The Mandalorian

    I like the idea of Yoda as Mister Miyagi, calmly side-stepping his opponents and using their weight against them. To me that indicates "true master" a lot more than doing all kinds of flips does. Episode 2 Yoda was just a victim of the same fighting style that plagued everyone in Episode 3, the...

    The Acclaimed are tremendous. A lot of babies on the internet are upset about them already because they made a vague incest joke about the Young Bucks, and because they said "cuck" on TV. Jeeeesus.

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    What's the role of a chanter mid-fight on raids circa Velious/Luclin? If I find some time to go back and raid a bit I'd like to know what I'm doing. Between fights I'm buffing and so forth, so the question is more for during the actual fights. Obviously rebuffing important people if they die is...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I didn't know Witcher 3 was getting a free current-gen makeover. Makes me feel a lot better about never getting around to it previously.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I dropped some adderall for this myself, good times. Forgetting to eat is a bonus, less lost time. Back in the day I'd chug a Redline, but one day I had too much of that stuff and got queasy as fuck. The warning labels aren't lying.

    Jesus Christ. I read that thread for the 2-3 minutes I could tolerate. Everyone with even a remotely different opinion is just getting insta-banned it looks like. Just innocuous shit like "Eh, I don't really care", ban. Things that around here would be considered bland, moderate, fence-sitter...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    That's what happened to me with Fallout 4. Did basically everything in the base game and the first major DLC, didn't get to the second DLC, now finding it very hard to go back to it. I was pretty close to platinuming the whole thing so it keeps bothering me that I haven't gone back and finished...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Guys I've encountered a bug! I was driving around and saw this giant obese man sauntering around. I was like hey, I wonder if this game lets you run people over without repercussions. So I backed up and plowed through the guy, then backed up to roll over him and he was gone. Just poof. Also...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Mine arrived (PS4 version), been installing it on the PS5 for like an hour and counting. Probably the longest install I've seen yet on a console. The outer case says you can upgrade it to the PS5 version for free, with no fine print about that coming out later. Sounds like the PS5 version is...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Focus is important for a game like this, so I've been clearing the deck too. Since it looks like Cyberpunk won't get here until Friday, I've got just enough time to finish FF7R which I've been working on...have one fight left really, but it's the optional uberbosses.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I don't think I know anyone who has beaten Valhalla at this point. Know a lot of people are playing it, myself included, but all of them keep putting it aside for other things, having issues getting it done. It being this like 70-hour monstrosity doesn't help. They took Odyssey's one negative...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    One of the zones (Cobalt Scar) is combined with Siren's Grotto, so if you want to fudge the numbers it's 7 retextured zones. I like the story at least, dragons are cool.

    It definitely doesn't affect flying kick, nope. Roughly when would gloves reach that level of hdex? I feel like it isn't until very late, like after level 100? I stopped at 65 with monk on TLP but I'm interested to know more about this glove meta

    I seriously doubt she got "hundreds" of messages like she says. Reminds me of this one GF I had. After we broke up I sent her a congratulations because her team made the playoffs and then she went on Twitter and bitched about how "five ex-boyfriends messaged me today about my team, guess I'm...

    What's that outfit called? Especially the top, I want one post-haste. I'm having way too much fun with this game, but I ran into a glitch at the part where you "return Odysseus' ship". I go to the two statues and they both already have a ship in front of them (only one is supposed to)...

    I'm about 8 hours in now and as a wild guess from the numbers I'm seeing I'm probably on track to be in the 25 hour range by the end. I'd definitely slow down and do more with it if we weren't 3 days away from Cyberpunk, but so it goes. As I get closer to the end I'll probably slow it down and...

    Don't know if this is the case or not but going off of the dialogue so far I wouldn't be surprised if the character development is the same across both genders (aka it was written for the guy and carried over to the girl, explaining why her character development is so good). Yeah, I'm also...

    Yeah, most of the really wacky people I know in the sexuality regard (and it's the northeast, I know several) are die-hard "stay home and go nowhere and do nothing and if you want to hang out we have to talk through a window" types. They'll be the last people to get COVID.

    Immortals Fenyx Rising

    Yeah, I never played Breath of the Wild so this style of game (tons of optional shrines) is unfamiliar. I'm usually more of a "plow the main quest" guy with open world. It's cool that it has so much variety. Since I'm playing as Dani Daniels, new equipment also has the bonus of Fashionquest for...

    Immortals Fenyx Rising

    I've got four hours played now and it feels like I'm pretty far along. I've unlocked all of the available fast travel points and done a few quests. Not sure what quests are "main quest" versus "side quest" since they all seem to have the same icons. I'm just doing all of them so far. The game is...

    Immortals Fenyx Rising

    The default female character's face looks a lot like Dani Daniels. Not the best example of this, but it's the best shot I could get with the PS5's screenshot lag: It's actually pretty noticeable during cutscenes to the point that I think it was on purpose. Ubisoft, you scamps!

    Actually downloaded a ROM tracked down a Parasite Eve 2 disc on Ebay for $400 or whatever and got it working on my TV. It's one PS1 game that I've regretted missing out on ever since. Unfortunately it's very hard to go back to those graphics without any HD or sharpening mods. I'm going to give...

    I've found that berserker is more complicated than I ever thought before I played one. Figured it'd be a 3-button class without much nuance or variation. Instead it's one of those classes that you can either do extremely well with or extremely not-well. If someone's autoattacking and not...

    Demon’s Souls Remake (PS5)

    TBH you might want to just start the game over. The reason I started mine over mid-week was because World 4 was fully blacked and everything there was complete murder. I managed to eventually beat the world anyway, only to get stomped by it on NG+. So I started a new file. If starting over is...

    Everquest TLP - Aradune and Rizlona Servers (Now with real customer service)

    How are necro parses during the classic to luclin era now? The recent DoT changes pretty much turned level 110 parses on Phinny into "top five are all of the necros, #6 is the old #1" scenarios a lot of the time. I'm guessing necros surge in DPS the further into the game you go as more DoTs get...
