    Song of Conquest

    I took the bait with the 30% off on gog via sseth. The first campaign is great. short though 4 missions. not sure if EA will expand. I would assume so.. difficulty ramps up in second one, and skirmish. I need more time to really recommend. the overly detailed sprites are rough at first...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    killer cast. this looks great... kindof think this might deserve its own thread. looks like the directors first movie though. a bunch of british TV series previously. same for the writer I suppose.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    I think the issue is they just called them 5th gen fighters, and left it at that. if the said, 5th gen fighters, gave them a specific albeit made up name SUV-67, with specific tech specs, which they run down. THEN went back to calling them "5th gen fighters", it probably would have worked...

    The Red Letter Media Appreciation Thread

    I think the Marvel movies or Picard broke them or something. These kenobi reviews are bafflingly contradictory to much of their older views. Maybe something about starwars, they were bizarrely wrong about Rogue one as well. It had flaws sure. But their entire complaint was "nostalgia bait"...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    in theory yes. but people love to make a big deal of breaking 1b. Ticket sales, theatre count, etc. all a mess... streaming, dvd sales, etc.. Even box office numbers sometimes reflect studio being dumbasses, limiting theatre count and the like, while the movie might do gangbusters the moment...

    Diablo Immortal

    Randomly got suggested this via youtube and decided to watch. Whats horrible is this is not just Diablo. fuck 99% of these issues ALSO directly apply to Lost ark for example. I'm pretty done with "daily quests". what a terrible result they have made for gaming.

    The Boys

    not watching this shit, but still reading you guys posting about it. haha. if Homelander is now doing the comic insanity, and talking to himself perhaps the Black noir storyline is going to playout.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    its probably true to say box office increased dramatically from 1990-2000. days of thunder 157m ww interview with the vampire 223m ww jurassic park hit 1b. 1993. massive smash hit. toy story top of 1995. 394m ww The phantom menance hit 1b. top of 1999. tom's done alot of one offs. you can...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    That was my initial thought. but I was wrong. I was going to say box office inflation, which it is... But really its been pretty steadily increasing for quite some time. but, its not a sudden increase. And its definitely not just marvel. spiderman 1. 821m ww spiderman 2. 788m ww spiderman...

    Path of Exile

    the stat passives are not cosmetic. they are serve as pathing. Mind over matter is 7 passive points from witch start, via stat nodes. or, is it 10 passive points, with cast speed, damage, and arcanists dominion? that pathing also moves you closer to practial application, and heart and soul...

    Path of Exile

    no, this is completely wrong. that skill tree is a sense of awe. and gives a taste of whats to come. Showing only a little bit. not letting people plan, foam at the mouth of, "what can I do?!" is stupid. hiding essential information, until after they make a choice is bullshit, and ruins...

    started "gods favorite idiot" on netflix. tv series. Thought a light hearted show would be fun.. then I realized Melissa McCarthy is in it. oh, god is she painfully unfunny. its insane.

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    I did see this with my dad. it was just ok imho. Just nonstop nostalgia, and fanservice. Tom did look like he was having a blast. Genuinely happy to be there. I didn't love the cartoony mission specs. "the enemy, with no visible men" river raid SAM defenses unmanned, in the middle of no...

    Top Gun: Maverick (2020)

    well presumably "maneuvers in a vacuum" versus "Maneuvers in close proximity to another plane with a camera". I would assume the commenters were overlooking the camera aspect.

    TRON: Ares

    I'm not sure how you make a good Tron movie really. Much of it is insane nonsense. Like, should it be more true to computer architecture and programing? eh... should then it just be purely fantasy? feels like it loses its core if you do that. any other Isakei at that point. much like...

    The forgotten movies

    I went through a big Clive barker kick in highshool/college. yes, the books are very different from the movies. The books are WAY WAY more sexual, and fantastic. stuff that couldn't be filmed back in the day. could maybe be done on HBO today, with a crazy budget. Much of his stuff could...

    I don't know it all. But I think it started with something he said in a youtube vid. which has since been deleted. I have no idea what he actually said. but it was probably something completely true and obvious, but against the cult and youtube, until Jon Stewart made it ok to start pointing...

    The Munsters

    but getting a perfect cast of actors, a good script, and good director with funding practically IS a miracle. I think hamm would have been a good call for Herman. Maybe cena.. Jonah hill probably could do Grampa. hill is 39. I was looking at Lewis's page to see how old he was. seems...

    we discussed it a bit in discord. is there a gold sink at 50? the game could do with some kind of reason for 50's, or any higher level to play with lower players. help ensure there is always someone that can join your party. AA levels. bonus gold for running below level. then, have a gold...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    whats interesting here, is others have tried and failed to make their RPGS platforms. Larian, tried real hard to make their tools public, so people could make their own custom campaigns for Original sin, 1 and 2. yet, no one really does anything with em. solasta, etc.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    As much as we shit on them, these games are much more involved then we give credit for I think. And they do try to make each one, bigger and better. they don't just pump them out battlefield, etc style. fO4's settlement system is a good example. its more robust then most games actually built...

    Worst movie you've ever seen?

    Nevergrind Online - 5-player Multiplayer Co-op Dungeon Crawl RPG on Steam

    theres always a delicate balance with "the vision". countless examples both ways. game design by committee, from 10000 randos doesn't make good games. Even, giving players EXACTLY what they ask for, often fails. either the players didn't see the knockdown effects, or didnt understand the...

    Much of Vamp survivors was. splattercat and wander weren't being paid to show it, before anyone else. I grabbed it due to them. Cohhcarnage plays EQ still from time to time. this would probably be up his alley. Price does factor into "sure why not try it" fence sitters. Can't pretend it...

    Silly UI element review. I picked single player at first to see whats what. then, later when trying, swap to multiplayer, it took me AGES to figure it out. backing out to title, restarting, both take you directly to character select within single player or multiplayer. you have to hit the...
