    That's not really true. First off, the daily login bonus will give you some amount of Virtue Exp. Secondly, once you get to higher levels, many of the weekly wrapper quests (Complete 15 missions anywhere, 45 missions anywhere, 20 gundabad daily quests, etc.) will all give you virtue exp every...

    Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2022)

    The 2023 release schedule is packed, but its very unclear that the mass narket has returned to their prior attendance rates. I think we're going to see quite a few films have okay launches and, only if good reviews, strong legs, but otherwise will wither instantly, with a mountain of films...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    I've always been a slight anti-homer though, acknowledging that even at their peak they had weaknesses some team comps could take advantage of. If anything, the Packers are a prime example of the classic conundrum - is it better to have a team that is consistently good (winning the division)...

    I'm on the Ben Folds since of the fence, with , and also . Apparently I just want my Shatner villainous ("You're right, I can't commit... _to you_"), the timeline where he took all of Alan Rickman's roles in the late 80s / early 90s is probably pretty great.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Last long term schedule I saw still had Disney alternating Star Wars and Avatars until the 2030s. Everyone would much rather have Star Wars' long term plans run by Feige than Taika. The elephant being how much of Marvel Phase Four being Feige rather than his lieutenants. That they've killed his...

    Lord of the Rings Online

    Minas Morgul, the corrupted version of Minas Ithil, a sister city to Minas Tirith that served as the final zone of the Minas Morgul expansion. The map / storyline gets a bit wonky, as you visit Mordor in the second age in the 120s and then Dimril Dale earlier in the Third Age at level 130.

    That's Mitty, the cat of one of the developers. A number of the original zones had GM rooms / Out of Bounds rooms with him adorning the walls. Also the name origin of Khonza Mitty of Kerra

    I would say this is a win only if Feige was pulled back to clean up the MCU from whomever was running it for Phase Four. (Taika clearly could use someone reining him in.) Frankly, Feige properly starting up a ten year plan for Star Wars movies would have been a good thing.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    Weren't the Saints already a fair bit over the cap? I get the Saints pushing while the division is wide open, but will Carr just be a massive cap hit in year 3/4?

    Lord of the Rings Online

    There is so much god damn geography in the game at this point, and yes, there's a lot of Gondor and Rohan. To be accurate, there's a lot of time of (especially) Gondor and Rohan, as there were (in WoW speak) point releases for Minas Tirith pre, during, and post battle. (If anything, it sounds...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    SJW issues aside, frankly the old scheduling didn't make much sense in general - Marvel was going to have movies in Feb / May / July this year and then nothing until Captain Falcon in May 2024? Even if they aren't tinkering, delaying The Marvels gives the schedule more room to breathe. (And more...

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    Now that Brady's retired, the are only two (potentially) starting QBs with two Super Bowl rings in the league - Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo. I would like the Bills to finally win one, but I question how long their window is.

    2023 Academy Awards. No Baldies allowed!

    I'm really out of touch, but at first glance, I see a lot of the standard 'blocks' fighting with each other: Instead of a single prestige sci-fi movie (Dune, Inception) that racks up nominations but just sweeps the technical categories, you have Everything Everywhere and Avatar fighting each...

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    Considering how few trailers I've seen recently (I expect a ton of trailers during the NFL playoffs), I had no idea how stacked the calendar was. John Wick, Mission Impossible, Nolan, and Villaneuve? That would be a top tier year, Covid or not, then add Marvel lines that haven't fallen apart...

    To be clear, I think the Packers have a single digit percentage chance of winning any playoff games against the Eagles, Cowboys, or 49ers (hell, the Buccs could be rough), but I am still flabbergasted as to how many things had to go the way they did to get the Packers back to this point.

    The fiscal cutoff for the tax writeoffs already happened, IIRC.

    I would hope this weekend gets people to realize that the Lions and Jaguars aren't the complete doormats they used to be. Hell, even the Bears kept it close vs the Eagles. Football is just better (imo) when both teams have a reasonable chance of winning any given game.

    As others have noted, the year ticker in the newest trailer now hits 2079.
