    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    Note: Not going to do spoiler tags anymore, since it is out on video. I understood what was said, who she was, etc. but the scene played out very differently than what we know about John Wick from the first movie. We all know he is a master assassin, heartless at times and a virtuoso of...

    John Wick: Chapter Two (2017)

    Watched this earlier (on Amazon, no less) and while it was good, and I loved the individual scenes, I thought the overall movie definitely suffered from sequel-itis. The first movie premise was simple, the characters motivations were clear, the action was realistic, amazing and followable...

    Atomic Blonde (2017)

    This THE COLDEST CITY - the Cold War spy thriller filmed as ATOMIC BLONDE is the graphic novel the movie is based on.

    Alien: Covenant (2017)

    The movie becomes more understandable (if not forgivable) when you know that the two "scientists" were originally "workers" in an earlier draft of the script.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So I went back and put a little more time into the game, and I agree with the above: 5 or 6/10: I keep hitting bugs like doors not opening or consoles not working that require me to reload or even exit out and relaunch the game to resolve. I think the Folder UI is easily the worst in any...

    It really would have been the best ending to have Shepard charge at the beam and then have that be the ending:

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I thought it was pretty good/ok but is being completely shat on by critics, most of whose reviews are infused with terms like "whitewashing", "cultural appropriation", "white savior" and "privilege". Edit: the irony is that Danny Rand is a totally "white knight", pun intended, and the whole...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So after buying a Super Deluxe Digital edition, I bought a blower Founder Edition rather than waiting for the FTW edition of the 1080Ti because I wanted to play this at 4K 60FPS all the way through from day 1. I only got through 8 of my 10 hours of trial before I just put it down. Basically I...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    So much polish is missing from the trial; it looks like it should have been a Fall/Winter release that got pushed up by something else. It looks and feels buggy and messy. For example, Quest/Journal and Skill type UI is total trash. Once you get into a skill it's OK but its so hard to...

    Damn, now I am sorry I had the flu. Of course, I had it known it was that much of a *get-together*, i might have had second thoughts.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    While I wouldn't argue the overall fact, Vaclav's meaning being that its a big country with a lot of socioeconomic and cultural diversity is I think the point.

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    The only framerate issues I had were when I had occasion to try to cheese an plot encounter: Rrather than sneak during a revenge mission, I tried to brute force it but the numbers made me pull back to the entrance and chain kill the hostiles at the door. I didn't know that they would respawn...

    Horizon: Zero Dawn

    Same here and 2nding this. Great openworld gameplay and it just looks amazing on the the regular PS4 and 1080p. It has me considering dropping the money to upgrade my console setup to 4k. I totally missed the hype for this; I thought it was another Far Cry: The Dino Age or whatever. Last week...

    Ghost in the Shell (2017)

    I had to talk myself off the ledge after this 2nd trailer. It could be ok, it could be good, it might even be great, but all signs point to "terrible".

    Houston, moving there.

    If anyone still wanted tickets, we were explaining the whole concept of the Super Bowl to an H1B working in our office and checked prices on tickets: nosebleed 600-sections in the upper rafters were going for $2200-plus per seat earlier in the week and only got more stupid from there. I can't...

    Again, I work downtown, so it wouldn't be so bad for me but I can imagine it you don't go there every day and have a place to park, it could be discombobulating. Easier to meet along Midtown/Upper Kirby/Montrose for folks if you are looking for something craft/hipster. Personally, I live SW...

    AssHat of 2016 FINAL VOTING ROUND!!!!

    EQ Next: #1 Next gen MMO

    I saw that as well. /cue mystery theme I will be the first to admit that I thought the Landmark/EQN approach was genius/brilliant/smart/at least economical in that they would have to build the toolset to build assets for the game, and that in monetizing them, that could provide another way to...

    I didn't see this thread before but I am in Houston and work downtown. There are hotels available now because they built the hell out of them for the last Superbowl; it was crunch time then but should be better this go-round, particularly since "Lower for Longer" is still driving corporate...

    The script for this was on the Black List and was floating available in places. You have the high-concept in the trailer, and obviously the movie could have changed on the way to the screen but there was lot more to it than what you saw in the trailer and it was a really good, if somewhat...

    The Promise (2016)

    We actually had the same meaning in mind; not that these folks are actually unable to feel unable to feel emotions in the sociopathic sense but so lacking in own lives they need to feed vampirically on the hardships and dramas of others.

    The Promise (2016)

    Some people can't feel real emotions in their own lives and have to go downer movies to actually experience life. Otherwise I can't explain the attraction to this kind of tearjerker melodrama. It looks like a technical masterpiece, though, and the cast is aces.

    Don't worry about the pre-order ship. I didn't use my pre-order ship at first to see how the game played without it. Once I got off-world the first time, stopped at a space station, switched out to the pre-order ship, then went to the nearby moon to the first planet. Of course, there I found...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    There was a point at which D&D were stalling, trying to come up with filler material to hold the show over until the Winds of Winter could get published; hence the Dorne and the Sand Snakes/Meandering around Mereen/Jaime endlessly in captivity.
