    The Witcher

    Supposedly the 2nd season will drop the staggered timeline format, which the showrunner got from Nolan's Dunkirk, since all of the 'main' characters are together.

    The Witcher

    So I binged this tonight. It was kind of a roller coaster. They get a lot of things right and its cool, and for everyone saying there isn't much SJWing happening, you have just gotten used to <current year>. I haven't read the stories but if Yennefer and Ciri get equal screen time to Geralt...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    They explain it/retcon it in ROS as such: More erasure of TLJ which happens early in the movie. I think that works in the context of the movie but Fuck You Rian Johnson for shitting on Star Wars. I almost understand the people, critics especially, who in 2017 wanted something different...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    So here I am with the contrary opinion: I liked it. I loved that they retconned everything that was shitty and SJW about The Last Jedi into the ether. The movie was crammed full but that's what you get when you essentially waste a middle chapter of a trilogy shitting on your fans "subverting...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Seeing this in a few hours, so I will come back and tell tales. All I know is hate hate hated TLJ for what they did both to the characters and to the narrative overall for the franchise. I have never seen a movie that so actively hated its own fans and the overall franchise, like the British...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    Forgive me if this is repetitive, but to answer the question, you can indeed; there are a however, number of advantages to playing on the Xbox over the PC that make it a compelling platform for a number of functions. I am going to own all three, Xbox Series X, PS5, and Upper end Gaming PC lord...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    There are several people that are giving mixed or negative first social media reviews. What I can glean is this: While it seems like Rian Johnson went out of his way to shit on OT Star Wars, I think JJ will try to overstuff this movie with both the SJWisms the Disney demands to cater to the...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    The thing is, Lucas only became Lucas because of other people: A large chuck of "his" creation was the actually the input of other people i.e the trench scene being created in the editing room, Coppola and Spielberg's influence on the final cut, etc. so that when you removed all of that feedback...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    This; Everything outside of Feige's purview, like the Netflix stuff, Agents of Shield, animated stuff/series, anything sold outside of the Marvel Studios' announced series, all of that is gone and the part of Marvel that makes it is no more. All of the Feige announced Series from Marvel...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    There is no doubt that PS has the best exclusives this gen. I am constantly telling my friends who are XBOX-only about the really long list of games that they can't play that are top-tier gaming experiences: Horizon Zero Dawn, Death Stranding, God of War, Spider Man, and the list goes on (I...

    yeah, my Project Scorpio XBO X and launch PS4 Pro were two of my best gaming purchases ever. Now? Wait for the next gen.

    OMG yes. Monitor/Keyboard+mouse/desk/Chair should be the things you spend the most money because they are the things with which you spend the most time interacting. Regardless of the PC/console you are working with, these things remain your interface into the gamespace. Keep in mind I also...

    Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

    Here is the explanation of the genius retards from Prometheus: This movie is a victim of the re-write process. In an earlier draft these idiots are workmen, assembly/construction crew from the ship who get trapped in the ruins overnight and then bad things happen. It made sense, though...

    Pan'Theon: Rise' of th'e Fal'Len - #1 Thread in MMO

    Lots of people who take their own lives are great at masking that dark urge, and putting a happy face on for the world. Its part of the coping mechanism people develop so they don't have to deal with the attention. People who want attention rather than to actual die give off signs; lots of...

    Bioware's "Anthem"

    This is one of those games you think "if they had waited six months..."; truth be told, I don't think the people working on it could have ever gotten there. The core gameplay was fun but lots of the other systems needed 20% more polish/revision, and I don't know that the folks working on it...

    Closer yet still to the real thing. Some apologies extended here, again even (or especially) to some posters people don't like. I wouldn't have voted for Mudcrush at all before the Garbaging but my days of voting for him are definitely coming to a middle (actually it ends next round). Teekey...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    It's not Star Wars; this is what I realized with the Last Jedi. It's the hollowed-out husk of Star Wars walking and talking, the MIB2 "Edgar Suit" version of Star Wars. At least Rogue One was fan service, and not trying to make the things that we loved into something that it wasn't. Rey might...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    It's trying to thread the needle of "The force is female/Grrl Pwr!@!" and "how can we not have people complain that Rey is a Mary Sue?" Either Disney A) doesn't understand the thing they bought or B) don't care in pursuit of an agenda; C) Outguessed themselves trying to "update" the story for...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Den of Nerds has a spoiler video up which may or may not have been discussed that if true will mean that whomever is in charge of this shitshow deserves whatever fate they get. Seriously can't believe they would go so far out of their way to divide the fanbase and leave money on the table like...

    Well, apparently anyone who believes in capitalism is the devil according Obsidian. It seemed less tiresome a decade ago in Bioshock when there weren't real Socialists running for office in the US.

    The Outer Worlds

    Its been so long since I made a character for a game like this (I think the last FO game I played was FO3 with DLC?) and I had (have?) no clear concept I have probably already borked my character. I thought I would go all melee but then, its in outer space, with no Jedi so, no? So now I have a...

    The Outer Worlds

    I can't decide if I want to get this for PC (1080Ti/2080Ti build coming along)or Xbox One X. No GamePass yet, I still like to own stuff, such that you do these days. edit: Xbox One X for now.

    Ad Astra (2019)

    I thought Jonathan Nolan's original script was awesome but I get what Christopher Nolan's movie was going for as well, and while I understand the chagrin at the somewhat Deus ex Machina at the end, it bothers me that people take such umbrage at Nolan's message in that movie. I guess it was too...

    Dave Chappelle

    Let me explain to you the Mulford Act in 1967: I am not saying the Mulford Act was the correct reaction, nor am I going to say that there wasn't a complicated mess that led to creation of the Black Panthers but it was a reaction to cop killings and not racism.

    This is just run-of-the-mill standard stuff for the 80's but its been so long since someone delivered it without flinching, ala Trump, that it looks like Stunning and Brave Above Average Genius. And maybe for today, it is. That should tell you just how far down the road we are toward...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Almost every MMO was some variant of WoW; the big problem was that no one had the polish Blizzard did, especially after WoW had been around for the 3+ years of that it took to get anything out into the market. Lots of games, WAR, Rift, everything but EQ2 was a WoW clone but all of them...

    The Boys

    There is a lot of "Irreemable"/the Plutonian to Homelander, it feels like. The changes are so big, though, its really almost more inspired by than an adaptation of, given the way they ended the season. Don't get me wrong, I liked it! Its good, and they use the characters and some/much of the...
