    Dune (2020)

    I realize you are a purist but if you don't exclude the next two sentences, I am aware of Kynes book-accurate fate. The details not withstanding, what I meant was, in the broad scope of the story, that overall fate remains the same. The place and the fate.

    Dune (2020)

    Oh that's right. I totally forgot about the differences in Kynes' deaths, although they try to at least get it in the ball park, don't they? I may be conflating Lynch movie and book but I thought Lynch was book accurate. Fenring is who I was thinking of that gets introduced later, rather...

    Dune (2020)

    If they are going to announce part 2 on Monday, just spend an extra $100 million, make another 3 hour Part 2 movie and then Justice League this bitch into an 8 hour limited series for HBO Max for 2023. You'll have the whole cast there, just film the other 6 hours you need, give us the full...

    Dune (2020)

    So rather than wonder, I just watched it on HBO Max in 4K. It's pretty fucking great. I can be wrong about such things without taking time to digest them because the artistry can overwhelm the art at times (cough). I have a number of critiques on this but overall I like it. - wow DV makes...

    Dune (2020)

    Holy crap. Its been a long time since I read the book but these are all things vital to the story that come up in the first 100 pages. How could they not be in Part 1 at all?

    If everyone held off til later, manufacturers and legitimate resellers would have to find a way to not let scalpers hoover up every card coming down the pike, rather than get on board the Scalper Express. "Someone has to fix broken windows. Let's break windows to improve the economy!!!"

    Look and I will admit its my personal feelings. I love microcenter, or did; they had great prices and good service I appreciate what they normally do but scalpers are the devil. They don't keep the economy going; they drain the economy of productive funds, in the same way that corruption...

    Look, homeslice spent 5k on a PC. That is 1990 money. Who is going to gouge him over a $350 power supply? I mean, Other than MicroCenter, but come on. You splurged out man, and if you have it, good on you. That RAM price is baller, 32GB for 160 bucks? Awesome. This time last year any...

    Microcenter's 1500 dollars for a 6800XT is bullshit. I don't care if that is what scalpers are charging for them.

    I actually have Walmart+ because with grocery shortages there are some things that my autistic son wants that cause us major headaches if we can't get. The W+ guarantees extra deliveries, good times, no delivery minimums and no fees. Worth the $15 bucks a month for us, and the cost of two...

    Nothing about this game is designed to be PVP only. You will block off huge chucks of the leveling and the narrative/MQS on a PVP only server. **I guess** you could do that stuff, just make some of those areas non-PVP or agree to truces in those areas, or just have pure Free-for-alls. But its...

    I don't normally have much to say on mechanical design of the quests themselves but "Dogshit design" needs to be the tagline of AGS at this point. Where did they get these fucking people? So many quests are ridiculous and stupid and repetitive. I can't think of an MMO with worse quests. I...

    Cary Fukunawa is an amazing director, and everyone that I have watched says the movie is awesome from a technical perspective. It seems like, and I admittedly haven't seen it yet, they tried to have their Woke Cake and eat it as well. As Nerdrod said, it was a "gentle deconstruction": They...

    There is no doubt they are really have something here. The combat is good/great. The world is fucking incredible. One it really needs is more varied/multi faction public events, with Angry Earth/Lost/Withered etc. popping up in a place and doing their thing. Rolling, multi-stage PVE Public...

    OK, I still like the game but let me say this: This is some of the worst quest design in any MMO I have ever played. Visiting the same area to get different drops from the same mobs? Check. Visiting three different similarly named locations for the Azoth staff, all within a few meters of each...

    You're not wrong; (I mean, you are technically correct, the best kind of correct). I don't think it's intended to be pure comedy, though. It's an apologia with some jokes as Dave does it best. He really is a master storyteller. There were some laugh out loud moments but as a "comedy" special...

    Look, DC is going to DC. and it seems some of the stuff was fact-telling story and some was set up for jokes with some artistic license. The brilliant thing about Chapelle unless you are looking at his face or listening to his voice, its hard to tell what's the act or if there is any...

    So I made the conversion over to Focus/Con, and added ambers to several weapons, and while I was a little underwhelmed at first because of the lack of BIG NUMBERS with 100 focus, and I do think there is something to that, its still way on the positive side. Want to try Ice gauntlet? Just find...

    That's the quest I was talking about earlier; its a level 20 quest but the area is level 26+ so good luck doing it before level 24. You then can buy level 25 gear afterwards. It's not as good as it was during the closed beta but still pretty good. Before, though, it was BIS seemingly under...

    The factions for this game could have used a re-write: They should have just lifted the ones from The Secret World and reskinned them for the Enlightenment, which is what I guess they did but in a lame way.
