    The Netflix Thread

    I watched 'In the Tall Grass" - meh. There were glaring inconsistencies in character motivations and horrible timing on the interactive exposition all through the movie. The premise was intriguing enough I watched the whole thing, but the script writer was a fucking hack. Thumbs down...

    Path of Exile

    One of my little issues is how this whole mob buffing went - Hey, let's make everything take a little longer to kill so that the players have to actually deal with mechanics. Okay, that sounds great - cut and paste an increase across the board. Then you take your fledgling build into an...

    What did you just read?

    Recently finished Prince of Thorns, about half way through King of Thorns. Found it recommended SOMEWHERE in here but I'll be fucked if I can find it again. Pretty good reads, plowed through the first just reading while commuting and then at breakfast. Main character is not a good person but...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    My lowly Falcons have beaten the Saints and Niners this year. What the everliving.....? I didn't pick my boys this week in my pool so I have a confused happiness and sadness.

    Um, What the fuck. Seriously? I don't understand what is happening here lol. So taking damage before having to talk to someone, then a tiny bit of fighting then.....something? What am I seeing here??? Dying too expanding, unavoidable bullshit? Clearly he was missing some information as...

    Path of Exile

    Most interesting experience playing Metamorph today? Had to stop picking up league items so I would stop crashing. Worked like a charm. QC is a bitch, man. From the perspective of an eternal scrublord, they sure made the leveling experience a lot more interesting with the armor and hp buffs...

    I love opening day of the leagues. This thread reads like the old chat rooms when EQ went down for no explained reason. I can't get in. Can you get in? Oh, wait, I am loggi....nope, I got kicked. Who's in? What's my name? Where am I? Is it daylight out? Bahahahaha. I actually remember...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    DAMN, now that's a challenge. Quantitatively I am sure some movie nerd will give you an answer, but answering this qualitatively is like deciding which would be a worse extinction event, a massive meteor strike on earth or all out nuclear war. In the end, it is all just apocalypse.

    Hearthstone

    Okay, I don't pretend to be a statistician, but doesn't Monte Carlo simulation run analyses on a data range of RESULTS? So a bunch of interns would have to play games and the results of WHO WON would then be input in to a data range and then you could do a Monte Carlo simulation to determine...

    Ghostbusters : Afterlife

    I am little confused as to the tone and the cast. This looks clearly aimed at the young adult crowd, plus the hipsters and millennials that seem incapable of growing up. That being said, it actually looks interesting, but I don't think I would pay to watch a bunch of teens take the GB torch...

    Antlers (2020)

    True. That is the second scene I think of when the movie comes up. And that was a very real boner that guy had walking into the scary water. I respond the same to ScarJo. The movie is so weird and yet so interesting in spite of said boner lol. Sorry, I am the reason this thread was...

    Antlers (2020)

    It reminded me a ton of the sci-fi horror movies of the 70s/80s that used to be on TV on Sunday mornings and afternoons and used to scare the bejeezus out of me. It had the same air about it, the same creeping dread with not a ton of special effects. The ending scene in the woods especially...

    Antlers (2020)

    Yeah, you are totally right, but the 80s stuff was, I dunno, less grimdark or less gritty-real or something. Can't put my finger on it. To this day the most disturbing scene i have ever, erm, seen was the crying toddler left alone on the beach with the tide coming in, after the mom got caught...

    Oooooh if I could faceroll Arc Totems as a first build this league that would be grand. A couple of nerfs ago that build was perfect for the no-thinker scrub like myself. But like Vanderhoof referenced, I will continue to come back here for information on my easiest opening build to fill my...

    Antlers (2020)

    Has there always been a creepy kid in a ton of these movies? Am I just bothered by this now because I have a son in and around this age? I can't watch these movies anymore because my empathy and experience makes it uncomfortable. I mean, it looks good. 25 year old me would have totally...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    So, post 2, at some point the studios have to make new universes, right? New stories and lore to capture the imaginations of a new generation? So that some other kid can have that Christmas memory I have, waking up to the best toys ever? Because these things are totally toy selling vehicles...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Honestly, at what point does fatigue just win? Because it did for me just after Phantom Menace like Dom. I was the child for which this universe was created. My greatest Christmas memory of all time, not even close, was waking up to the half-sphere cardboard Death Star, an X-Wing and a bunch...

    Very weird that no one here is playing it. Wait, I am not either. Scanning reviews, there are a lot of "meh, it's okay" opinions out there. D'oh.

    Mechwarrior 5: Mercenaries announced.

    Interestingly, I just recently got invested in Battletech even though I was an original backer. Yeah, yeah, backlog of games and interests. Anyway, the backbone of the "planning" portion of Battletech is pretty much copied over to this game. Only this time you pilot the mechs. I may have to...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    Anthony Hopkins fucking Rules. Also, Daisy Ridley has had her moment in the sun, can it just set already? I certainly won't see this movie in the theatre, and since I refuse to pay a dime to Disney for their streaming I guess I won't see it until it hits cable, which may be never considering...

    That's not a knife, this is a knife! Classic! It is bottled '80's to be sure. May be one of the first movies at which I made out with a girl in the theatre, so I give it a 10/10.

    RIP Brad McQuaid

    I'm not crying. You are fucking crying. RIP, Aradune. Logging into EQ for the first time remains the best memory of video games in my life. And that game is in my top 3 of all time. And definitely most hours spent!

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    Lol that first fight is hilarious. It is like watching a toy poodle fight a black labrador. Sapp seems to have a VERY low pain tolerance, because he cowers on the ground as soon as he gets hit in both of those videos. He is a monster of a man, but the only time he put up a fight was when he...

    Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)

    Am I the only one disappointed that they had to come up with a McGuffin or time travel or whatever to bring Chris Pine back into the movie? Seems pretty fucking weak to me. Gadot can carry this movie on her own, why does she need her sidekick?? Lame.

    The Netflix Thread

    I agree with this, he is hilarious. And he is one fucked up dude. He's been arrested a bunch of times. There is a video of him getting his ass kicked and trying to thug on some kids. I think it makes his comedy more real haha.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Yeah, I know you would marry PoE if you could, and Fyff would kill it and leave it in a dumpster, but it is specifically not the game that I loved in 2013, as I said, and has evolved farther and farther from a game I loved exclusive to all others, to today and a game I like okay, I guess...

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    I think it is even more insidious. The era of "prideful game designers" is gone. The iD of yesterday, even the Blizzard of the 90's, became the Activision and EA and Bethesda of today. The meetings aren't full of people who know games anymore, they are full of suits who know business...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    I played it after the last big update and SOMETHING was lacking. Felt like waaaaay too much space between portals, and the first boss fight was a kick in the balls - pure dps check with a HP pool shitting out constant adds. I will admit to quickly quitting in disgust at that point - so I...

    Black Widow (2020)

    Gah so super-hero fatigued but I grudgingly admit this looks good. I started getting creeping feelings of Gurl power for a bit in that teaser but I think it mostly went away in the end. The cast looks great aside from that lump of emotionless flesh from Midsommar. David Harbour doesn't get to...

    I think I am both too old to be an incel (plus I have successfully spawned my scion already) and too old to deal with that shit. At this point my divorced ass would just think she was looking for a piece of my bank account. I'm not going to argue I would definitely prematurely blow in my...

    Ratropolis (Slay the Spire mixed with Kingdom)

    Yeah I was a big fan of Slay The Spire but the gameplay can get tedious relatively quickly. Got my money's worth and more, but they are play and forget games to my interests. One Deck Dungeon. Monster Slayers. The other clones.
