    Tenet (2020)

    You aren't wrong; there are a LOT of elements from his other movies, more of which I think I touched on in my initial post. This is the most Nolan of all Nolan movies for better AND worse. It's so self-referential as to almost be Tarantino-esque. I still love it, though; I mean, after the...

    EVE Online

    I haven't played since we won Delve and moved all my stuff. it was indeed the Horn of Goondor. A full decade since I signed in; I remember almost nothing about the game, I am going to have to recompile the kernel. Game looks great, in 4k, though. I have reading to do.

    EVE Online

    Anyone here have the inside scoop on the big war going on? I got an email asking me to rejoin for what was described as the largest war in Eve's history.

    Tenet (2020)

    It's pretty clear to me he has this idea about objects moving backward in time that serve as the basis of a Bond film, and then from there he crafts/utilizes/bolts on (pick your verb depending on your affection for Nolan) other parts of his oeuvre (Memento-Keeping the audience in the dark...

    I have a mini-ITX to go in a NZXT H1 waiting on a Zen3 to populate it. The only thing I don't like about the Mini-ITX is the lack of options. Want more M.2/NVME drives? Nope. Want to add another card of any variety? Nope. Multi-Fan coolers/Swap power supplies, etc? I mean the list goes...

    I am hoping the X670 has more of a presence in the Micro-ATX space. There are a number of cases I wanted to build in but AMD stranglely only has B550 chipset boards or below in mATX; I am hoping X670 changes that. Also; I think that the Oct. 28th isn't a "submission to nVidia" but just a...

    I also need to check the yacht dates in my answer earlier, because despite my memory of them they don't make sense in the context of the movie. Formatted for readability and I like intrinsic's use of Bold better than my highlighting inline answers.

    Tenet (2020)

    I thought I had a line on what you were trying to say but the more I read it, the less I grasp the point you are trying to make. The movie is much more about specific entropy for an object's particles and it's position in the flow of time, "pissing in the wind" as The Protagonist" calls it, or...

    From what I am reading, this mostly due to how the Dolby theaters perform. Give it a shot in a non-Dolby theater next time but I admit given how much theaters are piling on to get people out of their houses these days, you would think they would take the time to either optimize their sound...

    Tenet (2020)

    I completely disagree and challenge anyone to find any paradoxes in the movie that have to be "hand-waved" away. That just isn't how Nolan does things. I guarantee there is a movie "bible" and this plot has been storyboarded and mapped out to death. There is an explanation: It may not be the...

    Tenet (2020)

    I see most of my movies at IPIC, which is a smaller theater that serves food. I guess if someone is seeing this in a theater with a different sound set, oriented to a different mix/has to be much louder for a larger space, it could change that. That must suck but I nearly went mad when I took...

    Tenet (2020)

    It's not that it's hard to follow, they deliberately hide stuff from the audience and some of the characters right up to the end. It unfolds slowly, taking its time and reveals what it is (we know more about what it is, thanks trailers) to its participants. It's Memento-level audience...

    Why the hell would they sell a 10Gb card early other than the fact they are scared? As much as I am dying to buy new stuff, I am going to hold off until I see AMD Big Navi/RDNA 2.0 in action.

    Australians have mouths that are too laterally big for their faces. This girl has one that is too vertically big for her face. In some pics its good, and in some, like the one above, its all teeth and gums. It makes her look neeiigghhborly. Must have to do with facial muscles and tendon...

    That was also in the time of the Cryptoboom and no competition, which has passed. You started being able to get 2080Ti's again for $999 Sept last year. As I understand it, most of these cards are on 8nm, which means that the 50% we thought we were getting became the 35% we are seeing and...

    Won't go anywhere past the Blue Light of Death, no signal of any sort. Trying to get into safe mode it just powers back off. Called Sony, they will do a repair for $100 and are sending me all the stuff to cross-ship it. If nothing else, hopefully it gets my kids save games back. If not, its...

    The Batman

    This trailer looks amazing. We'll see how the whole project turns out but this trailer gives me chills; Love this first look at the approach they are taking. It's a long wait between now and move release, though: 14 months? Wow.

    If there isn't any Crypto-bubble to blow the doors off the prices of these, then Nvidia is going to have to show value for these. Particularly when AMD is right around the corner with another potential giant-killer product that they might not take the performance crown with but might be willing...

    So after 6 years my original PS4 (got it with Destiny release) gave up the ghost and died with the BLOD. My kids have been using it but still sucks right before launch to have died. Yes, I have tried everything but the washer trick (new power and hmdi cables, new hdd, starting with without a...

    I am thinking I am going to wait for whatever AMD has in December if these are 8nm Samsung cards and dont top the 2080Ti by 50%. There won't be another Bitcoin run to push these cards to stratospheric heights and it might be good to pair an AMD card with a Zen 4 CPU. Edit: That's not to say I...

    The lack of main objective was more like trying to even read what the objective was, sometimes it would have a circle if it was close, sometimes not so much: -Looking for the Jarvis Hard drive in the "Trophy Room"; -Looking for the HARM Room "In the hanger" which actually meant backtracking in a...

    Yeah, I went ahead and got it for the PS4. Here is my vaguely unordered notes: I have a ton of issues with the game so far. -People who were putting on the Destiny vs Anthem axis, it compares unfavorably for me to both. And they aren't things that are going to be fixed between now and release...

    Marvel's Avengers

    They definitely don't want to pay the actors for their likenesses in this one. Looks like the Batman anime but in Not-Japan so it lacks the cool factor? These are the same old complaints; we have comic book version(s)/MCU live action version, and for whatever reason, now this version. If the...

    Marvel's Avengers

    With what they have been showing, I feel a lot better about this and will probably be playing maybe even pre-ordering. I still dislike Ms. Marvel as a character from the comics but as I understand it, you won't be forced to play as her for long, and then the story opens up into pairings where...
