    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    Evil is definitely the wrong word and pure hyperbole. I certainly attribute no malice to the man, nor do I think he is in cahoots with the Chinese dictatorship to oppress people. I DO think he is using what is essentially bribe money to secure exclusives to his store, and as I stated, I...

    Epic Games Storefront - A Good Incentive for Piracy

    I........wat!? Wasn't Epic Games store all China Numba Wan from the get go? Wasn't that the whole conspiracy that the Chinese were using it to watch you masturbate through your web cams or something? And Sweeney thinks this is going to turn-it-around for Epic Games Store? Jesus, I think I...

    The Netflix Thread

    There are a series of really great episodes where they go out through Wall Rose on a Scout mission that are VERY good - preceded by a couple of the talking episodes as they train as Scouts. I thought the balance of talky talky with action was just enough, but I could see someone losing...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    I liked Oz a lot, but after a while the prison rape just grinds you down. I barely recall much in the way of story threads aside from the rape.

    He's just Mayhem in insurance commercials now.

    The Netflix Thread

    Well I just finished watching the first season of Attack on Titan. I am in no way any kind of anime fan, I have watched Gantz.0 (best visual experience of all time, by the way), the old Macross stuff when I was a kid (I also read all the books) and that is pretty much it. I think I loved...

    ba-dum-bish! Well played.

    Zombieland 2 (2019)

    So this is Zombieland 2 - The little girl has boobs now and we added a Millenial hipster/cuck so please watch our movie? I think it is hilarious reading in this thread how unlikable Eisenberg is. He works in very specific roles and I actually think this one is suited to him perfectly. Anyway...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah I used to own a large pick-up and parked at the end of the lot at all times. Then you come back to your vehicle and some assbag parks beside you in the middle of no-man's-land. They do it on purpose. To rustle. Fuckers.

    Gemini Man (2019)

    100% Agree. But back then we were all in on the joke, actors AND audience. Last Action Hero being the most blatant example. Will Smith is not joking.

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    That is a really interesting point. Bridesmaids, Spy/The Heat, shit like that, all comedies aimed at women. Romantic comedies similarly. And now that there are more women "nerds" there may be a market for comic book or sci-fi movies oriented to the same audience. But I feel like it is...

    I believe they flat out stated the last Plinkett review was the last.

    Gemini Man (2019)

    This has to be the most self-indulgent, narcissistic (I tend to be redundant and redundant) project in a long time. Will Smith wants you to know he can still keep up with the young people. Hey, everyone, I was in the YouTube Rewind, remember, because I am popular and all the kids know who I...

    Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020)

    Good Lord y'all are so spot on - is there a single, intriguing thing in that trailer? Is there a........a theme? A bad guy? Jesus at this point it would be an improvement just to see generic bright light/laser shining into the sky that the anti-heroes have to oppose. I don't want to always...

    Cube World

    On the one hand, I am a little sad that I missed out on the original gameplay. The base design of the Alpha definitely appeals to my ARPG instincts and a progression system is the fundament of a great game. I've recently started playing Terraria again with a friend, and the progression system...

    Conan Exiles

    Ell o ell 16,500 that's hilarious. Yeah the bearers are notoriously the best generic "tanks" but those Relic Hunters (melee) have the 2H moveset/attacks making them, IIRC, overall better in combat. Not sure if bearers have any weapon's moveset or just basic attacks. At any rate, with a decent...

    Conan Exiles

    Go to the undead city. Grab some Relic Hunter Treasure Seeker thralls........profit. They are easy to get (you can stand on a pillar in one spot and burn one down with blunted arrows, have 7425 or so hps topped only by a handful of the best named Thralls. Every boss is easy with one of these...

    Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

    I've been especially picky with movies of late, so take these comments with that in mind. I watched the opening sequence of the fight in the cab and the effects were so shitty and so obvious, and the massive-seeming, pregnant pauses between each important move and counter move was so...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Some of the great pleasures of commuting to work every day on the train: (1) Random, sneaky farters - that cloud of noxious gas lasts a little longer in enclosed spaces and moves slooooooowly (2) Entitled assholes thinking they are more important and in more of a rush than everyone else so they...

    Path of Exile

    One of the recent leagues taught me that I despise the trap/mines mechanic and will never play it again (arc mines to level 90). This league confirmed that I still don't like the summoner mechanics as well. I am not saying you can ONLY do the league with summoners, but it is easy if you do. I...

    Mortal Kombat (2021)

    Ermagerd that point at 0:47 where Scorpion starts his jump and the editor leaves a millisecond too much in and he looks like an idiot. I nearly spit out my coffee and had to rerun it hahahaha.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Well, owning your home is crucial for ease of finances when you retire (IF you retire I guess haha) so consider yourself a success. I both hate my home and won't have it paid off when I hope to retire in 15 years or less, and the local home market sank into the shitter significantly since i...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    When you define the quality of your life experiences by the accumulation of chronic injuries. Let me see: Chronic lower back issues from one shitty-aligned shoulder press rep in the mid 90s. Shredded rotator cuffs from blocking giant linemen. Seemingly steady Achilles strains from too much...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Over the last while I have had to look up YEET and YOLO. Fuck me. That being said I said the word meme to a coworker the other day and they had no idea what that was. So there are far worse people than us.

    Borderlands 3

    This is one of my RPG/gaming gripes/pet peeves. Making quest rewards scalable to your level means everyone will game the system and just put them off until the end. Why developers continue to include this in their games amazes me. If you put a quest in a specific area, fix the fucking reward...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Yeah - I work in the downtown core of a major urban center, so the commute would fucking kill me if I lived outside the city limits - this city's road system was designed for 1/3 of its current population so traffic is perpetually bad. Also, I am divorced so proximity to family and all that...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I have a neighbor on one side that is nearly a shut-in that I've seen three times since moving into this house several years ago. He's the kind of guy who actually mows his lawn right after a severe downpour - that shit is creepy as fuck. On my other side is a lovely older couple that wanted to...

    Rambo V

    This is why we can't have nice things anymore. Ford has been phoning it in for 2 decades now, how could this be remotely successful? He almost ruined Bladerunner 2 for me because he came to the set in jeans and a T-shirt and said "wardrobe, we don't need no stinking wardrobe!"

    Uncut Gems (2019)

    Damn. I hate Sandler on principle (mostly on the principle that he's made mad bank on taking vacations with his buddies and making crappy ensemble comedies with them while doing so) but this actually looks good, and he looks good in it.

    Blood Machines (2019)

    This looks like an episode of Lexx on steroids had sex with Mandy. I am intrigued. Edit - I said Dex lol. I am shit at pop culture.

    Rambo V

    This is what I was talking about earlier. This is every fucking movie that is not an Art House piece of shit nowadays. As a bit of a tangent, probably one of my fav Stallone movie remains Get Carter. It was an actually well done, dark-ish revenge flick where he is a bit of a good bad guy. Or...

    Rambo V

    "Trumpian". It's a fucking adjective, adverb, noun, now? Seriously. First they came for our games. Now they have taken our movie reviews. You literally cannot trust reviews AT ALL anymore. The discrepancies between critics and viewers on Rotten Tomatoes in almost every recent movie...

    Borderlands 3

    Can one reduce themselves to the humor level of Borderlands after such a cosmopolitan, history-ridden trip? THAT is the question. From the Coliseum to "rip his dick off" may cause mental whiplash.

    Cube World

    Plebs. Heh. Good one. I guess if we come in late we will have to eat ketchup sandwiches for a week to afford it. You sound like a shill, although I know you aren't. But you guys inadvertently answered my above question, albeit in the most retarded way possible.

    It (2017)

    IIRC IT came during King's heavy coke stage, where he pumped out massive tomes that were erratically paced but good reads. The guy can shape a great image in your mind, it's his greatest strength. He's not going to make you cry or think about the secrets of the universe, but he's going to keep...

    Rambo V

    Jesus fucking pogo-stick Christ. THERE HAS TO BE A BAD GUY! Stop being so narcissistic for fuck sakes. Also - the movie is not being made for you if your "race" is the bad guy and you take offense to it. Get over it, and move on. Ever watch a Chinese-made movie? Almost every fucking one...

    Cube World

    I seem to recall being a bit interested in this a while ago but doing some shallow research and noping out. It still intrigues me. I am now way to lazy to do ANY research so the Cole's notes on shenanigans? Also, in the middle of the video the character gathers up a bunch of bees and kites...

    Borderlands 3

    As an aside, I reinstalled Borderlands 1 over the weekend, the GOTY edition I never played, and it feels like difficulty progression was changed: I hit several places VERY early where I was getting my ass handed to me - and I do not recall this AT ALL on my many previous playthroughs. Anyway, I...

    Path of Exile

    The PACE of play has constantly increased with character power creep and rotating metas. The strata of things you have to do in the midst of all that PACE has increased dramatically. More RNG on loot. More master mechanics. Crafting linked to scavenger hunts and master mission RNG loot...
