    Black Phone 2 From the trailer it reminded me of A Nightmare on Elm Street and it wouldn't have taken a whole lot to have turned this script in to another one of those. Overall it's fine but it's too long. Once it gets up to speed in the second half it's decent with some solidly fucked up shit...

    The Animated GIF Thread

    I had a Buick forever ago that did that. The paint started peeling off in sheets. Whenever a patch got big I'd hit it with dollar a can white spray paint. I saw other Buicks of the same make and model doing the same shit. I assume it was just a bad batch of paint. unrelated - Couple gifs...

    What did you just read?

    The novelization of the video game Alien Isolation I never played the game. This ignores everything but the original film and has Amanda Ripley, Ellen's daughter, as the main character. Right away we're with a salvage crew that finds the flight recorder of the Nostromo and heads off to LV-426...

    It wasn't all a work. Moe was FOR SURE throwing some live rounds on set. I'm not blown away by these launch titles.

    Grandpa Hanlon is for sure getting strung up by the Legion of White Decency at the end of this. I like the opening credits.

    I got hooked on running a pair of +25% graftblood ones that each put shit on the ground and it's going to be hard as hell for me to use anything that doesn't have a bonus graftblood prefix.

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    Book spoilers! Considering how that story goes and how this show has set up it's characters (buck private Mike's dad is now Major Hanlon, decorated air force pilot for example) along with the general Invasion of the Body Snatchers facial expressions being delivered by one white townie after...

    I expect all of that is going to get tinkered with. Making her a little thicker and the monsters a little less likely to attack her would go a long way. In it's current state it's going to exclude a lot of builds.

    Buckle up for magical Indians. Hopefully they're actual Micmacs but as that's a genuine tribe and this is a TV show maybe not.

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    What this really reminds me of is a licensed tie-in comic or pulp novel sequel. Dark Horse Presents The Thing Part 2. How good could that even be? Turns out it's pretty decent expanding on the material in imaginative ways. Aliens, Predator, Hellraiser, etc all have told more good stories with...

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    It's got energy along with creative and interesting scares. "Pennywise the Dancing Clown may be our answer to the Cold War" is a hell of a direction to go and I'm not going to bag on the show for doing something outside of the box but the race/racism subplot/subtext is holding the whole thing...

    If you have any interest in the property episode one is worth a go. If you are just looking for something in the "good" category to watch I don't think this is it.

    IT: Welcome to Derry

    Lovecraftian horror from beyond spacetime crashes to Earth in what would one day become Maine. The film and its sequel mostly had that. From what I've read this is going to reexplain that with an additional subplot involving Native Americans and their encounters with IT.

    Placeholder stats while you get the skill up and running would be my guess. The real mistake was featuring it in the promotional material.

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    Does this version of the game still level lock all the story encounters? In the original game if you went through the DD and then continued on to the last area you had an insane level advantage that trivialized everything.

    UNLESS YOU'RE A SABO The temptation to do something a little riskier at launch is high but I'm probably just going to go Elementalist. Planning around Farrul bloodline plus a Flame/Flesh is asking to get dicked.

    Slinger has had a couple little buffs along the way prior to this wand league too. The cumulative effect of all these little (and not so little) buffs is going to be major. There's also plain 'ol garden variety cast on crit provided the initial part does some hit damage. Could get quite a lot...
