    Super Mario Odyssey

    Im having a great time with this. It really does feel like a solid successor to the classic mainline Mario titles. The hat mechanic is pretty darn inspired from a gamepoint view even if its super creepy to think about.

    Star Wars Rebels

    Remember in season one when Ezra was a kid so they gave him a stun slingshot because it would be wrong for him to kill people? Now the guy is going after Stormtroopers like they are Peeps on Easter Morning

    Star Trek: Discovery

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Ahhh yes I had indeed forgotten about crazy-bitch1 and crazy-bitch2. I had expected that Jaina would have shown up all angry and Dark Phoenix by now.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    So the timeline is something like this : Anduin shipwrecks in Pandaria and we follow and face lots of yummy food as well as negative emotions made manifest, we beat up our feelings and a crazy orc escapes Pandaran justice to an alternate reality Alternate reality invades and we curb stomp them...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Even if it is an Under the Sea expansion I would guess most zones would not be underwater zones. They always manage to have a variety of zone types even in the most clear-cut themed expansion. In this case there will be the obligatory Atlantis type area, some sort of pirate-themed shanty town...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Next Generation proved there was actual longevity to the Star Trek universe. Before TNG things had, honestly, ground to a halt. You had the majesty of ST:TMP and then the amazeballs adventure of Wrath of Khan followed by the much more pedestrian Search for Spock and Voyage Home. Voyage Home...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    When the Naga were part of the most recent expansion I rolled my eyes. As mentioned they have been a persistent minor nuisance for quite awhile and one I had hoped we'd just get away from eventually. With Storm seeming a focus point of this I wonder if Elemental Shaman will get some...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Its all the fungus. I was actually hoping that they would showcase what is going on in the other labs onboard. We've never really done much delving into a Starfleet Science Vessel (Voyager was supposed to be one... but that obviously didnt last long) and I have to imagine that constantly...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Someone posted a fan theory that the Captain Gabriel Lorca we have here is actually the Mirror Universe version who switched places at some point before the story began. My response to that was : "yeah so?" Honestly I don't care if he is moustache-twistingly evil or not, he's awesome...

    They need for CBS All Access to have a feedback function where we can upvote Jason Isaacs.

    South Park Fractured But Whole

    There really does not seem to be much true choice about what 'gear' to use. I just equipped whatever had the highest power and that seemed to = win. Your DNA slot seemed to be the one that had the most actual impact on what happened with your character, the various secondary stats associated...

    South Park Fractured But Whole

    I ended up playing waay too much of this over the past week and I've just about finished it. Not as insanely brilliant as the first one, but still very good and with a much richer more tactical combat system. I like how they will be incorporating DLC into the game via the bus stop (which has...

    Star Wars Battlefront II

    I do like that this is portraying the Empire side of things post-ROTJ. Part of me wishes that the prequels had done more to play up how truly awful the corruption of the Old Republic had been and the ways in which a strong Imperial government seemed like a win-win situation for many.

    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    So are they going to elaborate on what the heck is the new status quo of the Traveller at the end of the main campaign? I mean its apparently 'awake' and yet doesn't seem to be doing anything other than looking like its broken as fuck hanging in the sky with parts of its shell floating around.

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    I first encountered a jug-handle like that near Hanscom AFB and they really are a great solution to a situation where a significant percentage of the oncoming traffic wants to turn left and you don't want to dedicate eons to left-turn cheater lights. I do agree that they should be used in a...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    Lots of them here in Massachusetts and they are great and incredibly efficient for intersections where most everyone coming from one side would be, effectively, turning left. The problem, as others have noted, is that there are people who don't understand how they work: 1) People who are...

    Activision files patent for driving microtransactions

    I honestly can't get triggered by this... its just smart marketing. Its not really any more insidious than putting beautiful people near the windows of your chic bistro. They aren't trying to trick you into buying something you don't want, they are convincing you that you want it through...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    The Kosh reveal was when you realized that JMS really did have the long game in mind. To this day I can't watch the 'escape' scene in Sleeping in Light without choking up and realizing everything was setting that shit up from day fucking one.

    Star Trek: Discovery

    With the gel they had to smear over each other. Plus they had Trip in a singlet / underwear being as bulge-centric as possible to balance out the sex appeal.

    Home buying thread

    Sadly when I left Somerville I left behind the owner-occupied perk. Rockland not only doesn't do the homestead thing, they have a crazy high tax rate to pay for their fancy new schools.

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Yeah this is both cool and not cool at the same time. I am continually in awe of the minds that come up with these mechanisms to put chinks in the armor of technology we've woven around us, but this could potentially be a headache and a half. Since I pass through Kendall Square on my way...

    South Park Fractured But Whole

    So the preload of this included a free copy of The Stick of Truth so I downloaded it and figured I'd refresh my memory a bit... aaaannnnndddd I ended up playing the whole damn game again over the weekend. I hadn't tried the fighter class at all before and found it pretty fun to go at things...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I'm angry with myself for having subscribed to CBS All Access, especially since it doesn't seem like they are doing 4K HDR anytime soon**. However I'm entertained enough that this has become 'appointment viewing' for me and I devoured the most recent episode shortly after the stream went up...

    The production values really are quite high for this. At least the technical FX people were clearly on the ball from the start.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    Jesus. The "6pm" shows here in Boston were only $25. I still opted to go with the $18.75 tickets for the 7pm showing instead knowing I may miss out on some sort of collectible doo-dad. I do think Rian Johnson has carefully crafted some misdirection in all this. I honestly wouldn't be...

    I have taken to forcing people to watch the first season upon threat of kicking them in the balls. Luckily they get hooked pretty fast and once they hit the twist they go apeshit and yell at me for not having forced them to watch sooner...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    Did anyone else catch that the Klingons Also the Discovery going all Stargate with the spinning rings on the saucer section when it activates Fungus Drive is a bit weird. They have said they are fully aware of the implications of the Discovery's tech with respect to the future timeline so I...

    I do like Captain Lorca and Commander Saru....plus they at least have lots of background non-humans wandering around.

    Marvel's The Inhumans

    This show... holy crap this is bad. Back in the dark days when we were lucky to have one 'genre' type show on the air at a time this would still have been an unworthy of our attention... and we watched Automan , The Phoenix, and Mistfits of Science

    Rick and Morty

    Im gonna guess this is a massive miscommunication between marketing and logistics. I mean it couldn't have been trivial to manufacture the packets and such for this limited run, so why not do a 'full press' of it? Hell they would have gotten more free advertising and value out of this than...
