    It (2017)

    I watched it for a second time just a couple days ago and found myself still enjoying it very much. That probably means the film is better than my initial perception. I just wish it was a little more patient with its scares and I wish Mike and Stan had a bit more to do. I think I said this...

    Dresden Files

    I haven't read it but the other series he wrote about elemental magic and shit was regarded very highly by the person that got me into the Dresden Files.

    Mortal Engines (2018)

    I see I never updated this. Book one was pretty good, the world was interesting, characters were decent, etc. The ending did an odd thing where but other than that it was a solid "C+". I don't plan on going any further in the series though. It wasn't something that I finished and immediately...

    The Predator (2018)

    Have you seen The Divide? It's about people locked in a bomb shelter under a sky scraper after a nuclear attack. It has Hicks in it. It's not great. There's definitely this thing where an actor does one or two awesome sci fi films and then a whole bunch of crap.

    The Predator (2018)

    Have you seen The Colony? He's in The Colony. Attempts to stop global warming caused global cooling and an ice age, marauding cannibals living in the wastes, it also has Hicks in it. It's not great.

    I thought Predators, the one with Adrian Brody, was pretty watchable.

    This year the Twitch chat is permanently in sub mode which I consider the equivalent of a mole you've had your whole life suddenly starting to rapidly grow.

    They are billions

    I would like a last man standing versus mode where you can't actually fight each other directly but instead each do your best to fuck over your neighbor as hard as possible with trains, obstructive building, and general asshole behavior. The match continues until only one side is left uneaten.

    Hearthstone

    If that combo was still available in its current form and with Innervate to boot it would certainly be a problem. The ramp's even more consistent and with every Ultimate Infestation you would just assume that if you couldn't respond you were going to take 21+ the following turn. But that's...

    Hearthstone

    I remember when Force of Nature was nerfed because threating 14 points of burst with Force of Nature / Savage Roar was just too much. Fourteen points of burst is positively quaint by today's standards.

    Retail Apocalypse aka The E-Commerce Thread

    Each Wal-Mart store does a full inventory audit once per year. Losses in the 1-2% range are considered normal. You get north of that and it triggers things like having to do inventory twice a year, additional managers on duty, more security, etc.

    Return of Reckoning - Warhammer Online Private Server

    Coming up on ten years later I am still sad that the Archmage trait Golden Gaze got removed and the overall AE power of their dps spec neutered.

    MTG thread

    It doesn't seem like there's all that much evidence that he harassed her unless you consider calling her a 4/10 in a YouTube video harassment. Her initial claim, that he harassed her over the spawn of two years, has even less evidence. It looks to me like he's an edgelord faggot internet warrior...

    I haven't been paying attention and this question is probably dumb but do these style of weapons lose one durability each time they do that thing?

    Hearthstone

    That card smells like a mistake to me. Not for its power level but because it is designed in such a way to be extremely frustrating to play against. You play a late game something in a situation that looks solid and your opponent plays a three mana 8/4, Shadow Word: Pains your expensive fatty...

    Psychic Scream shuffling back into your opponents deck their early drops they drew late game as well as possibly your early drops that you drew late or a bunch of shitty tokens or Paladin hero power chaff is pretty cool. Gives you a way of messing up your opponents deck while also being mostly a...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    On LJ we had a rule for the first month of Kunark where to bid on loot from Phara Dar you needed 50% or better attendance. The main thing that very reasonable sounding restriction did was put cloaks on non-healers for artificially low prices that fucking tripled once the restriction was lifted...

    Part timers tend to be valuable filler and DKP itself already controls for attendance. Making them second class citizens just seems so counter productive.

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    I think part of the problem is that studios are very much looking for the next cinematic universe that they can make an endless parade of movies for. The success of the Marvel films and now Star Wars is exerting a powerful gravitational pull in Hollywood and making it hard to get original films...

    The Matrix reboot/remake

    I've made this exact post several times but I'm going to make it again and no one can stop me. Movie 1 - A shadowy figure (Will Smith) contacts a young Antifa revolutionary with a talent for programming (Jaden Smith as Morpheus) and hints that the world he lives in may not be what it seems...

    This movie reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street quite a bit at times and I think that actress could make an excellent Nancy Thompson in a new reboot of the franchise. Alert Hollywood.

    It (2017)

    I just got back from the theater and while I thought it was pretty good it was definitely a mainstream horror film. It was often loud and was lacking in the kind of subtlety necessary to really make a film really scary. It had plenty of things I thought were just great (the television talking...

    Everquest - Agnarr Server: Sunset Mode

    Using myself as a comparison it looks to be alright. Not all of the items it lists are actually available and it looks to be missing the Kunark Archaeologist items but if you are looking for a list of items for each slot it looks to be better than the p1999 equipment wiki.

    Henry Bowers getting a handy from Patrick Hockstetter, the kid that suffocated his baby brother to death and suffocates animals in a garbage dump refrigerator (all in detail) while Bevery watches is a more fucked up scene but the gangbang gets all the glory.

    That's the scene everyone remembers but the whole book is just loaded with creepy shit. I've listened to the audio book a few times including once this year and I do like it but holy shit it gets distracting if you're taking note.
