    The Netflix Thread

    Back in the dizzay I was part of the "binge watch DVD series" that kick-started this whole "release a season all at once" and the onset of Mini-series movies instead of regular run time movies. Sopranos, Nip/Tuck, Lost to name a few. Carnivale (why only two seasons you fucking hacks).......but...

    Lobotomy Corporation

    I picked this up on Steam sale and have been puttering around in it this week. I described it to a fellow nerd coworker as a "horror roguelike management sim with RPG elements and a flavor akin to Cabin In The Woods". It is somewhat difficult but I am enjoying the slow reveal of the various...

    What's your biggest loss in a game? (Data wipe, save corruption, impossible boss, etc)

    In my first 4 hardcore years of playing EQ I spent more than one full year online. 365 days played on one character (and I had several more), more than 25% of my life over 4 years online - the rest spent at work or asleep in bed. Somehow I was actually actively getting laid at the time, as...

    The Netflix Thread

    But I am an old, apathetic North American that is not entertainment savvy and I am not sure what my future options will be when Netflix fails - because it will. I cannot watch TV anymore, it angers me instantly. All of it. I can't even watch any sort of series, although I did get captured by...

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Right! That transfer was so well done I did not even think about it in the context of "wolverine is now a woman" until Lithose actually pointed it out. All I thought was "the new wolverine is a badass already". VERY interesting illustration.

    Conan Exiles

    The mere thought of Less Building Placement Restrictions makes me chub up. Because the wonky "can't place that here" issue that you run into CONSTANTLY is so fucking annoying.

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

    Oh man. I just went off in the 007 thread so won't repeat it here. Let me just say that this is the New Religioun sermon, Hollywood preaching to you from the pulpit of movies to convert you to the far, far left. And destroying our mainstream entertainment in the process.

    No Time to Die (007 Bond)

    Yeah, it's not the wokeness, it is the guileless trodding on everything we hold dear. Make your own original franchises and movies and TV shows and comics and market them to whomever is eating this stuff at the moment. But stop fingering yourself into a frenzy remaking all of our sacred...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I am either horrified or incredibly proud that I feel the same way about just about everything as does RLM - I am torn between the two. I will probably laugh myself into a coma if there is a time-travel plot. Would completely destroy all ties to the original universe and they may as well have...

    Conan Exiles

    First star metal node I threw 6 fire orbs at before I realized 4 is the number and it was time to move on. Great way to introduce one to high tier resource gathering. Yeah I gave my Relic Hunter thrall bodyguard the sword I made from the Heart of the Kinslayer because I didn't want to have to...

    Conan Exiles

    So I recently played a TON of this with a buddy from work on a low pop PvE Server. I put about 120 hours into it in the last month or so and it is my second favorite game of the last couple of years, second only to PoE. Something about the progression system, survival and building, combined...

    Blue Ruin is a fucking masterpiece. Green Room tries really hard but doesn't quite reach the point of Blue Ruin - the protagonists overcome a little TOO much in Green Room, whereas the protagonist in Blue Ruin is made very accessible and believable via his entire progression through the movie...

    Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

    I wish I could remember the name of the sci-fi book that I read that put a decent realistic spin on space combat. Basically fleets would fire massive arrays of projectiles and smart missiles and tried to project positions and movements of enemies with the time it took the sub-light speed...

    Charlie's Angels (2019)

    Someday this movie will be part of a series of movies shown as a representation of everything wrong with 2015 to 2025. Also includes the all women Oceans movie, the all women (edit) Ghostbuster's movie and the new Batwoman series. Similarly, The Hunger Games and every show on the WC will also...

    Ad Astra (2019)

    Liv Tyler is just the worst. I hate her face. Brad Pitt is just the best, I will watch just about any movie he is in. I will say that it makes me a little sad that he is looking old in this trailer - which means I am getting old too. Anyway, there are not enough serious sci-fi movies so any...

    High Life (2018)

    Yeah the trailer makes it look like a psychological horror/thriller set to a mostly redundant sci-fi back-drop. Pattinson has redeemed himself to me long since Twilight - he was awesome in The Rover as well, so one assumes he and Binoche (who I've had a minor crush on since English Patient) are...

    Robert the Bruce (2019)

    The Bruce has gotten fucking fat (I parallel him since the time of Breaveheart) although he looks to have shed a few pounds for the role. And then the trailer showed major roles of kids and I immediately NOPE to a never watch.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Coincidence. The fucking script writers are the problem. And Martin is also complicit. The so called D&D duo are clearly great at adapting given material into a script. Hence the grand success and popularity of the first five seasons. But they are equally as clearly incapable of writing a...

    Chernobyl

    Finished this over the weekend. Fantastic series and leaves me wanting more in a similar vein of mood and pacing and current line-ups come up woefully short. I agree the pet killing was harsh, I had friends that fast forwarded through all those parts, but I watched......while snuggling my...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    It seems to parallel the success of Star Wars a little bit. Lucas didn't have enough Hand to fully control the making of the first three movies so that they turned out well. He clearly had more control in the third, as we see the fucking Ewoks come in and nearly flush the whole fucking series...

    Path of Exile

    Further conspiracy is that the Zana missions are automatically assigned to the map that your account is least statistically oriented to drop. I've had leagues where I have stretched into red maps and still haven't done the second or third Zana mission yet.

    Chernobyl

    We didn't actually do the drills where I grew up in small town, rural, eastern Canada. Although the Russians for sure had a nuke pointed at Halifax Harbor. And those locals had already experienced their own bomb in the form of the Halifax Explosion. Google it to read about the definition of a...

    Chernobyl

    So I have only read this thread to Episode 2 because that is where I got to last night. 11:30, way past my bedtime. This is VERY well done, well acted, well filmed, and uses my favorite method of relating dread and terror - droning, slow, inexorable. We were talking at work about our...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Yeah I feel the same way about Preorders. I kind of equate it to paying up in a Free To Play game though - it is more a token of support than anything else. I have preordered only 2 games in my time - World of Warcraft after beta testing it, and Total War Warhammer - the former was worth every...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I want to get behind these guys on this project, I really do. The latest developments make me want to preorder a copy for me and my whole family. But they've already shown at least one softening point through all this, even though they APPEAR to be back to shitposting their way to success...

    I would perhaps be intrigued if Will Smith was NOT a part of this. Focusing on Will Smith is the whole reason everyone loved the world building of the first but didn't really love the movie. Because Will Smith gotta Will Smith and when you put Will Smith in a movie it becomes a movie about...

    The Professor and the Madman (2019)

    I cannot actually believe I just thought to myself I may actually enjoy a movie about the drama behind the creation of the English Dictionary. What have I become. But I am old enough (as are most of us here) to remember and love Gibson before the whole Jew fiasco and still watch everything he...

    Well, surprisingly, Mac wasn't half bad in that Wheel of the Worst episode. I still can't bring myself to watch that Warrior's video though, too much if he is 50% of the talking. Still don't like him. I called it on him being Rich Evans's boyfriend - Rich is the Big Spoom.

    Warhammer 40,000: Inquisitor

    Yeah - I just got a notice that it was released today. Warhammer: Chaosbane. I'm waiting for a bit on reviews because it is fucking $67. Scratch that, I am waiting on a deep sale unless it is a masterpiece. And the first round of reviews are Mixed.

    Rambo V

    All right, I am in. I kinda faded in interest with the last one - it seemed popular more for the glorified (or more realistic) blood and gore, particularly the mounted gun scene, but in general the movie was meh for me. This one looks a little edgier. And I am a complete sucker for a revenge...

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    THIS IS WHY PACIFIC RIM WAS A FAILURE WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RAVING SUCCESS. BECAUSE IT WASN'T! This is also why Hollywood is creatively bankrupt now. If you cannot understand that you can make a slow moving arthouse movie to rave reviews but you can ALSO make a 2 hour kaiju slap-fest to...
