    Moon Knight

    Legion knockoff, absurd girl power levels, and padding out the 'Yeah, I was busy getting killed when your Dad died, sorry' conversation? Giant meh.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    This gen has had such shitty availability I haven't been keeping track: Is there any valid gaming reason to go with a 12GB 3080 over a standard 10GB?

    Marvel's Daredevil

    As someone who thought even the first seasons of DD and JJ started out great but got a little wheel-spinny, what's worth watching, Season 1 of everything (heavily skipping through Iron Fist) then finishing DD and Punisher's later seasons if I'm not burnt out?

    Moon Knight

    Marc needed Steven to give up control in the bathroom in the first episode as well. Easy enough to say that the more Steven is aware of reality, the harder it is for Marc to take control.

    Star Trek: Picard

    Thank god, the only thing people hate about Picard is the actors involved - finally we have thespians that can live up to the stellar quality of modern Trek's writing and production! Shouldn't they all be retired or admirals by now? Yeah, Generations could get away with saying 'Most of them...

    Bruce Willis retires

    It is a bummer. The most damning thing about the second RLM video is that Willis showed more charisma in his confused Luke Wilson blooper-that-was-kept-in than in all the Geezer movies combined. We just grew up in a golden age for action movies, and now it's over :\

    Lord of the Rings Online

    That's not quite accurate, Helm's Deep came out like eight and a half years ago, and its level cap of 95 is quite a bit off from the current 140. That said, the game (now with Premium Wallet for everyone!) gives you a mountain of content to go through at no cost. It's also worth noting that...

    Upload

    I'd like to know how much this was impacted by covid problems, since the final product is really scattershot. C plots are introduced (the cyber investigator, black gal's management arc) with zero payoff, weird bits are brought up from the prior season to negative impact (the dead kid is brought...

    As someone in the boys' age range, living in the southern Milwaukee suburbs, I was surprised I had never run into any of them in the wild... ... until this morning at the local grocery store, where I saw Mike (I swear to God) walk into the liquor department while checking his paper shopping...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    A cosmos divided shall not survive... ...cue 17th revival of Alliance / Horde war for the expansion reveal? (What a giant wet fart of an expansion from start to finish. Imagine what the subscriber numbers would be if people weren't Covid-starved for entertainment at launch.)

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    Honestly, Seattle kind of needs Carroll to retire and a complete rebuild. The NFC West is a god damn meat grinder of a division, rebuild now and take over when the competition's salary cap gets out of hand. Also, with Wilson and Rodgers off the board, that doesn't leave a lot of QB options...

    The Boys Presents: Diabolical

    Yeah, I didn't hate any of them (Akwafina was closest), but I also barely remember them a day later. Also, Andy Samberg wrote the best episode??!?

    Holy crap, I've never met another person online that had heard of the good old Channel F, much less owned one. (Though I think we had the System 2, with the weird controller holders in back.)

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    I admit I never bought into the myth of Joe Burrow, and thus while I think the Bengals could be in for a long string of playoff potential, I'm just not sold that they are reliably going to top the Chiefs, Bills, Titans, Patriots, Chargers, etc. The Rams got lucky their playoff push worked when...

    Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (2022)

    On one hand, that looks great, but it also looks like a preposterous amount of storylines they've crammed into this thing, between Mordo, Shuma Gorrath, however many Scarlet Witches, however many Dr Stranges, America Chavez, Prof X, etc., unless most of them are only in one scene.

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Invincible, The Boys, Upload, and (politics aside) Undone and Tales from the Loop. Expanse can't really be considered. That's not a great success rate, but that is a lot of genre shows.

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    To be fair, Big Ben retiring with two this season also contributes, but yeah, Brady and Belichick's dominance of an entire league will likely never be replicated in pro sports again. That said I can't imagine that stat will hold true for too much longer, between Mahomes, Allen, etc.

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    I literally haven't followed the 2021 releases at all, but if recent trends persist, Dune wins the majority of technical awards (maybe + Cinematography), Power of the Dog the favorite for production / direction /screenplay with West Side Story the main competition (probably Costumes), with...

    Reacher

    Now that I have seen the rest, it just comes off as Diet Justified. It's fine, but I can't imagine ever watching (or possibly thinking) about Season 1 again.

    Reacher

    Only a couple episodes in, but all this has done so far is make me bitter the original Jack Reacher movie wasn't better received. The sequel sucks ass, mind you.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    All humor aside, games that use Windows 11's Direct Storage will release sooner or later. When I put together most of a PC recently (god damn video card shortages), I paid extra for the PCIe 4.0 M2 drive for future applications, not today, because why not.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Seriously, was the original title "The Book Of Pedro Pascal's Contract Negotiations"? It also kind of says it all that once this show got rid of the title character, it improved dramatically.

    Short version: Videogames. Longer version: As dudes spent their free time on videogames, and especially networked videogames, the moviegoing audience shifted from male teens watching any available action movie to youngish females. Hence the current nightmare era of female sci-fi/action remakes...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    That sucks, or that is so appropriate, that that is Jimmy's last throw as a 49er? You'd have to think that, given the Rams and Stafford, that the 49ers try to bring in a veteran (obv. Rodgers would be the #1 option).

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    The 49ers are going to (hell, who knows, maybe winning) the Super Bowl with Jimmy G, then justifiably getting rid of him after the season? I mean, at least Dilfer was a backup.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    Obviously I am not happy with all the outcomes, but in terms of quality of games, this has to be one of the best divisional weekends ever, right?

    Packers needed another option out there other than Adams and Jones once Dillon went out. Grats 49ers Special Teams, you managed to beat the Packers yourself.

    General Gaming News and Discussion

    While mergers never seem to be worth their price tags, that's especially true here. Blizzard ain't worth shit anymore. Hell, if WoW falls under GamePass, then there won't even be box sales every two years (?) Call of Duty still has some cachet, mostly due to their competition imploding, but...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    It seems appropriate this year that we have no more confidence in the #1 seeds than anyone else. I _think_ the 49ers are banged up enough that the Packers squeeze past them, but I have near zero confidence they go 3/3 to win it all.

    If you didn't like the tail end of Season 1, no, not even Noah Hawley's musical numbers will likely do much for you

    I have a hard time imagining this will compete with the good parts of Legion (aside from budget), but like most Marvel shows, I will watch it and go "It was fine."

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    The Cowboys lose and the 49ers get further banged up before they come to Green Bay. Niiice. (I'm not as excited to watch TB demolish whatever NFC West team, however.)

    Eagles, this is a lost cause, at least injure (playoff injure, not career injure) a couple Bucs on your way out.

    The Matrix Resurrections (2021)

    All this Matrix talk made me watch the second movie again, and: 1) That movie has way more dead time than I remembered, but 60% of it is still great. 2) I wish they had pulled a Lucas and just used Resurrections' budget to redo the rubber-Neo bits in Reloaded instead. And cut out nearly all of...
