Embracer / Amazon making a LOTR MMO. https://www.amazongames.com/en-us/news/articles/lord-of-the-rings-mmo

I've killed him twice today, seems easier than last week but probably just luckier group comps / players. Nice that you can get loot from him each time, just only get the cache once (which didn't get me a lego to meh). Boss dropped 2 legos each kill at though.

the newer G9 is up on Insiders, usually cattle call when they accept people for these popular ones (let too many in, site crashes, crap shoot if you actually make it) https://www.theinsidersnet.com/en-us/campaigns/info/64882/seamonitors2023wave22306.htm

Damn, there's clearing the air and then there's that. Fuck.

Hader is on The Prestige TV podcast every week talking about the episodes, pretty great. https://www.theringer.com/prestige-tv-podcast

Yeah, they've gone from forecasting profitability for the whole of the direct to consumer unit from 2024-2025 to this year, now that the US unit has turned it's first profit.

I don't feel like there's any 'omg, avoid spoilers' type of stuff in Vol. 3. It's a good movie, but not expecting to go out of my way to rewatch anything beyond the first movie in the trilogy now that they're done. It's all your standard 'how does their storyline play out' with a side of new...

Doing the thing.

I don't follow GTARP very closely anymore, but the few I do follow on occasion are on ProductionRP I think now. Missed this final Penta falling out, wow.

I'm not very far in, but if someone said this was made with the tools they released to let you make new game modes in Fortnite I might not have instantly thought they were lying if I hadn't already heard of the game...

'How am I supposed to follow this, he just offered them eternal life' lol. This show is going to end at the perfect time, both resolving the initial succession premise and yet leaving us wanting seasons more of this family's corporate and personal drama.

Yeah, it'll get done, just going to take longer.

Reportedly Microsoft is about to get UK and EU approval for the Activision acquisition and they intend to move forward without waiting for the FTC suit attempting to block it to be resolved...

Yet another great episode, show is just so well down on all fronts.

Fun season, but the finale just felt too... clean?

Ah, only just now clicked why they wouldn't have had the computer able to say Admiral, though I'm sure they could have managed to put something together if they really needed to.

Hilarious.

...and merchandising. What an episode.

They'll probably have more paid signups than DirecTV possibly ever did. It's extremely inexpensive compared to requiring DirecTV service to access it, which is 2-3x the cost of YTTV. If I had DirecTV just their fees alone would rival the cost of subscribing to YTTV.

Yeah, I dive into those sometimes, a lot of good roundtables on THR and Variety. That one is really good, these are two of my favorites:

Honestly I felt like one of the kids... I didn't believe anything until damn near the end. The after-show stuff is awesome cinematically. They did a 27-minute scene, but they shoot on film, with a max of 10 minutes per reel, so they had to use multiple cameras and overlap when they were reloaded.

If this was a comic book the big bad would actually be a non-corporeal Locutus using the dissident changelings to regain his corporeal form and reconstitute a new borg faction opposing the new borg queen, with the changelings as a foundation for it.

This episode reminded me of West Wing after the first season or so when all sorts of guest appearances started.

I'm impatiently waiting for multiplayer to get into this. Gorgeous game though, yeah. Friends and i have been hitting Company of Heroes 3 regularly. Game going through the predictable backlash cycle as they released the cosmetic shop, where you can grind for 2 weeks for a skin for a single...

This is good to see. Not going to run out and buy one, but it's a step in the right direction to see others making it. https://www.theverge.com/2023/4/2/23666795/western-digital-xbox-storage-expansion-card

Recently passed 200 hours in this (playing almost exclusively co-op w/ friends). They've now announced their next game -

Ike Perlmutter let go at Marvel Entertainment as the division is labeled as redundant is expected to be folded into an existing Disney units. https://www.comicsbeat.com/ike-perlmutter-laid-off-at-marvel-redundant/

Think it's setup to introduce a group for Bo Katan to try and bring into the fold of the traditional Mandos, and also probably a vehicle to introduce Thrawn pulling all the strings by season's end leading into Ahsoka. Good episode.

Fell down a youtube rabbit hole this weekend, came across this podcast with episodes from Wheaton talking about his book and being abused and exploited by his parents, and another with Frakes that is great. Liked this IGN interview too.

Love this shield.

Haha. 50 minute queue followed by a timeout, closing the game.

Wish it reserved your spot for a brief time when you exit the game (due to a crash, etc). Having some crashing issues I didn't have last weekend.

Fun series, watched it over the last several days. Quite the S2 finale, yeah. I like liked where Fia's story was going but yeah, felt like it was all over the place by the end.

Succession returns on Sunday.

So much fun fan service. A bit heavy handed w/ the parent / kid stuff at one point, but enjoyed this.
