I have no idea what's going to happen in the finale. Normally, that would be a good thing, but here, it's just because the season has been such a meandering, politics-first mess that I will be shocked if the finale turns this into a cohesive storyline. Hell, something finally happens in episode...

I assume the NFL gave them the axe back when the last episode aired, but they've been running out the clock with their non-competes / non-disclosures until their contracts ran out now. Presumably Hanzus and/or Sessler have something in the works, but its hard out there for (even media) veterans...

I thought Gen V _the show_ was fine and didn't consider it a waste of my time, but like others here, I didn't give a crap about any of the characters, as they're all sex / party obsessed degenerates rebelling against their parents. Which is on brand for _their_ age range, but not anything I want...

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/around-the-nfl-podcast-ends I've been expecting it ever since the NFL Network went into cost/show cutting mode at the beginning of the year and talk started about subletting all their operations to ESPN, but at least we have...

As others in this thread have already said, you mean she was _smart_ enough to get shot by MM, incapacitating her, thus causing Homelander and Neumann (and not her) to make treasonous comments captured on audio recordings? I just can't see her endgame though - is she a fifth columnist for...

To be accurate, "Sage" didn't cure cancer - at that point all she was was some random kid who claimed she cured cancer, to which any sane executive would respond to the same way, no matter the sex / race /etc of the kid involved - "Sure you cured cancer in three days, without testing or any...

But that's not the Sabretooth that Reynolds was in a movie with?!? Now, if this is some running injoke where they only cast different actors than the ones Reynolds was previously in movies with (like the nonsense above about Blade), that's a pretty meta joke, but if he's trying to say X-Men...

Just like all sex-based comparisons in all other industries, the numbers are meaningless if you aren't controlling for experience and base pay. -"All these fresh out of college female assistant scriptwriter hires aren't making the same amount of money as our male assistant directors with 20...

I should have questioned how RLM's animated bits haven't involved Mike making fun of the elderly. The truth is revealed!

At this point, I honestly enjoy Spaceballs more than all the Star Wars movies other than Empire and the original. Even I didn't bother with the animated series. Considering how unloved modern Star Wars is vs the original trilogy, this seems like a hard sell, though it is nice they are giving...

Hughie not being dead within microseconds at the ice rink is the worst plotting this show has ever done. It's also hard to shake the feeling that everyone suddenly has new backstory they need to go through this season for any reason other than the writers have no idea how to progress Homelander...

The disappointing thing isn't the writing, it's that everything is taken from existing material, from the mechanical aptitude to the immaculate conception. Which in turn makes me think they're going to Dr Who this, and it turns out everything you white men like was done first by gay black...

To be fair, Ahsoka had a pre-existing fanbase from the various Clone Wars media. As usual, the better question is what the ratings will end at.

Even by Season 2 it was getting a bit absurd that Butcher and crew could survive so many direct confrontations with Homelander, Black Noir, etc. Not looking forward to their politics this season either, but hopefully Season 5 gets a comic Black Noir adaptation on their way to killing off everyone.

The one Alamo Drafthouse I hit on a business trip didn't encourage me to search for them on any other trip. That said, when their model has so few seats, and caters to higher income groups, that if they can't fill seats, that's a bad sign for the mass market.

To be clear, I've hated auto-scaling for literally decades (e.g. Final Fantasy 8). While the goal of having all content be useful at any level is a good idea on paper, it's extremely difficult to tune right. The normal outcome is to have enemies get stronger as you level, which goes contrary...

Evans wasn't fired, Endgame fulfilled his contract. He had been griping in the press for years that he didn't want the Marvel grind anymore. These weren't statements to try to get a raise for another batch of movies, he wanted out of the Marvel system. Whether that will be a good move for him...

My blizzard launcher doesn't mention Remix whatsoever, so I'm thinking popular opinion has soured shockingly quickly. And to be clear, there's two separate issues: 1) Scaling in instanced content is detrimental starting in the 60s, bordering on unplayable at 70. 2) There's no clear progression...

Fired up a new character, and even with Infinite Power XII, the cloak started as +150 Main Stat +750 Stamina +150 Versatility +100% Experience Gain That's it.

Looking around, it sounds like anyone 60+ in instances is likely hosed due to the scaling, and even the final quest lines in Dread Wastes and the point release content can be lethal depending on class / number of mandatory adds. (It also sounds like this is nothing new, and Chromie time has...

Note that scenarios, dungeons, and even raids are queueable long before 70. In fact, I would recommend it - NPC offensive abilities at 70 seem totally broken. I'm not sure if this is related to even level 70s not getting their jewelry slots until achievements (i.e. clearing all scenarios and...

I'm level 60 after 11 hours (with by no means an optimized play style), so again, this is a really good way to knock out those Heritage armor set achieves. I have not seen any firm math on when it is best to farm Bronze, however. I believe additional characters will start out with better cloaks...

At this point I remember three episodes about Married With Children: Anthrax (since I was a metal teenager) Aliens (Isuzu!, I think it was) Kelly as a trivia champion whose brain fills up (Polk High) So yeah, I don't have the greatest reverence for it, but animated is probably the only medium...

I think Pratt is still under contract for another movie or two, its just that he's connected to the James Gunn divorce and Marvel isn't touching that subbrand as a result at the moment. (Hell, the Guardians 3 credits specifically say 'Star Lord will return', not the Guardians.) Downey could...

Stretegically, releasing what is essentially Pandaria Season of Discovery right after Cataclysm classic and soon after Classic Discovery seems like a good way to split your playerbase to even more absurd levels. In practice, the new rules do lead to interesting gameplay results in the moment...

My born in the early to mid 90s coworkers all had the opinion that the prequels were action packed and fun and the originals were boring. Some of them with time have at least realized that Empire (and to a lesser extent Star Wars) are quality beyond the action, but not all of them. The sad...

Is it a flop though? Don't get me wrong, it won't make its budget back, which is a bummer given the stars, director, and craft involved. But Covid shutdowns, streaming options, and generational shifts have really hurt box office trends, likely permanently, in a way that movie budgets haven't...

Much like RPGs, its because they aren't a genre, they're an element now. When even your Call of Duty has a persistent online background level with tiered rewards, all games are MMORPGs now. Some games might hide their gear resets behind a seasonal pass facade, both to push fomo player...

Hank doesn't have the codes to cold fusion specifically, he has Vault Tec administrator access. There's no real reason Hank or Betty would know who Moldaver was pre-War - there's no evidence Betty was more than just a secretary, and Hank was at best a newbie manager just turned from executive...

I hope this finally confirms for people that the Bills are rebuilding, and aren't a piece or two away anymore.

I'm not that offended by Atlanta, Cousins didn't make it out of last season in one piece, someone will have to cover in stretches over the next two+ years. Especially when you see how much the likes of Flacco still end up playing.

As much as I hate them, the Bears are having things go their way. Someone is getting screwed on the QB front now - guessing Denver?

Neil Breen - a 'filmmaker' so bad people will travel to other countries to shit on him.

As someone that plays just enough WoW to not miss out on whatever I want out of their current FOMO-based seasonal content model they've moved to, Human Rep Bonus _is_ the most powerful racial trait, by a landslide.

Cryo tech is another lore aspect the show completely botches - Fallout 4 suggests the whole point of that Vault is to test the technology, yet Vault 31 has already deployed it in bulk (and presumably that's what Moldaver used), and if the ending credits are canonical, the Ultra-Luxe in Vegas has...

Obviously Cooper gets found out and Blacklisted / canceled & divorced between the finale and the opening scene (I'll leave whether that's the show saying 'Blacklisting is un-American' or 'Blacklisting Communists specifically is bad' as an exercise for the reader), but it is another case where...

I should probably rewatch the final episode, but...

The chalkboard has Shady Sands 'falling' in 2277 (presumably when it loses political power, with the NCR Capital moving elsewhere), with the arrow indicating the nuke is chronologically after that date. But if there's a functioning Shady Sands in 2281 (and nothing in New Vegas suggests it is not...

7.5 / 10 Its one thing to adapt a fixed narrative game like The Last of Us, where you can essentially cut out the gameplay bits and film the cutscenes with people on sets, but adapting an open world game like Fallout, where the only thing all runs will have in common is visiting a handful of...

I was super disappointed by Predator 2 when it came out - too much of a rehash, and no Arnold. Compared to the likes of Aliens vs Predator, though (or a ton of other action movies made in the CGI era), in reality its not bad at all. Hell, even Predators looks better and better as time goes on...
