    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    No spoilers here. Saw it this morning. It was incredibly satisfying, but it has a LOT more action than previous movies, though it didn't feel overstuffed in my opinion. The characters and arcs are arranged in a way that it's never too busy, but 3D was a bit distracting when everything was going...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    Yeah, while I'm sure I was going to have a fun time at the movies either way, the initial teaser didn't do much to reassure me after all the bad things we heard during production... But the last big trailer really delivers, I was grinning the whole time and it gave a really good vibe akin to...

    Everquest - Live Servers

    I remember you! I never sold my account but Lynn wanted me to let her use it after I quit to go play WoW so I let her. A few months/years go by and one day I randomly see her online on Skype or mayber MSN back then and asked her how things were going in EQ and she said she got my account banned...

    I hear ya, got shitty luck this Lunar Year event. I got three legendaries but they were all "regular" skins not special event skins, and I got a couple epic Lunar skins/emotes/highlights but ended up paying 3K for the Widowmaker skin. Sadly don't have enough money to buy 'em all, the change...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Didn't hinder my appreciation of this film alone, but the ultimate potential payoff remains to be seen with the finished trilogy. The lack of importance on those two elements means they have to handle other things differently for the conclusion for it to be satisfying.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    My reponse, some counterpoints, some agreement, and some opinions. You don't like it, I like it, doesn't mean you hate everything about it and that I love everything about it, let's talk.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Hehe when you've seen the movie and read my full post (maybe) you'll see we actually agree, I'm all for new things being brought into Star Wars. I was just saying that I think a lot of people don't easily connect with those new movies because they are new and nothing new has happened in Star...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    [Contains minor spoilers] Whenever I see one of those new Star Wars movies, I always get some odd feelings or vibes from some scenes. In TFA it was the Han Solo scenes on the freighter with rathtars and the gangs. In TLJ, it's the Canto Blite casino planet and the related scenes. Now, those...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Well, you're going to find elements that are familiar in any sequel, because it's a story in a set universe and there's only a finite number of things that can happen. For instance, you already know from the trailers that Rey is taken to Snoke's chambers and of course that can be reminiscent of...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Saw it this morning. It was very satisfying, not perfect but extremely entertaining. Great action scenes, a LOT of humor, but also some truely badass moments. Mark Hamill was everything I wanted and more, amazing. I enjoyed TFA and Rogue One but I also understand TFA relied heavily on ANH beats...

    Overwatch

    That Torbjorn one-trick ban comes up every now and then and people always seem to miss the real reason the dude was banned. He wasn't banned specifically because he only played one hero, he was banned because when repeatedly asked by his team to switch, he refused and then when someone else...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Funny you say that, I actually love this look they chose for the trailer. I mean, we've seen him with glowing eyes before so this is either a small retcon or it's an implication that his eyes are only glowing when he means business or they'll use that effect to convey increased power. That...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    Yeah, Orange/Soul Stone is either in Wakanda or on Heimdall (I susbcribe to that theory) and both are on Earth after the events of Thor Ragnarok so either way works. I think the movie will end with Thanos having every stone and doing something epic for the cliffhanger ending.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm not sure why I keep clicking on this thread expecting actual news instead of more neckbeard jousting day after day. But I got a Switch when it came out, and haven't regretted it at all since. It's exactly what I wanted, a portable console that allows me to spend some time playing games when...

    The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014)

    Your mileage may vary. The first time I read the Silmarillion it was like reading a phone book of Middle Earth because it's seemingly just a bunch of names assorted to unclear actions and every character has multiple names in various languages or depending on which era it is happening.. but...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    According to recent interviews, they changed that scene very late in post-production. It was supposed to happen in an alleyway not far from the retirement home in NYC, but then he decided the dramatic scene prior to it should have a peaceful and beautiful setting. I prefer it that way too.

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    I saw it yesterday. It was hilarious in many parts, though some of the slapstick doesn't always work. The action is great, story is interesting and the trailers misled you just enough to keep surprises under wraps. Doctor Strange scenes were hilarious. Hulk and Thor was funny, Loki was amazing...

    Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

    This movie so far has given us many reasons to be cautious about the end result, what with the directors getting fired, rumors of the first version being closer in tone to Ace Ventura in Space, and the extensive reshoots. But judging a movie based on the title itself is rather petty at this...

    Thor: Ragnarok (2017)

    Usually when a studio is worried about the quality of their upcoming movie, they put an embargo on reviews right up until release, so that people will be tempted to go see it based on trailers but won't have a chance to see actual professionnal reviews that might tell them it sucks before they...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Really exciting trailer, with a probable large amount of misdirection and red herrings. Beyond the obvious interpretation from the footage, a theory that could be picked up from all this is that the "raw power" both Luke and Snoke mention having seen once before is not Kylo's but Rey's. Rey...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Well, Season 4 is also introducing Rukh, so it's safe to assume Thrawn is going to meet his end at some point, since he doesn't show up in Rogue One and beyond material, and we know Season 4 ends right before Rogue One begins.

    The Half-life 3 you will never play

    Sad to see confirmation that the adventures of Gordon Freeman are over, but then it's probably better to see the story of what could have been rather than a rushed botched job of a game that would pale in comparison to the amazing Half-Life 2 and that no one, not even Marauder Shields, could...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    All wights seen so far in the show have eyes different from the Walkers, the only similarity is the blue color but I'm not going to explain how they differ for the third time in two pages. If the writers have suddenly decided to insist on showing a close-up of a Walker-style eye but the end...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Gregor is undead but not at all like the Wights. The Wights seem to be completely magically reanimated even from a distance, while Qyburn's reanimation of Gregor is more akin to something straight out of Frankenstein or Re-animator. In the books, Qyburn was banished from the Citadel for...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That, coupled with the fact that none of the characters in the last episode that went beyond the Wall are notorious schemers or big planners anyway..

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Well, Valyrian steel comes from Old Valyria which was the homeland of dragons and is a volcanic island containing tons of obsidian.. Dragonfire obviously comes from a dragon, and obsidian in this world is also called dragonglass because it's volcanic, so we can assume it's not just FIRE that...
