Bah. For some reason I thought this launched next Tuesday and thus this weekend was the head start. I'm off by like a week and a half :(

Got this in last week and tried it with some friends this past weekend: www.doomlings.com Cute short (~30 mins) card game with different rules effecting each turn including ones that make pretty sweeping changes in the play and can make massive shifts in the final scoring. Always enjoy ones...

I think Disney will come to regret that they threw James Gunn under the bus for awhile. Sure they 'made up' so he can do Guardians Vol 3 but its clear that his more long-term storytelling is gonna be in the Warner Brothers playground and I have nothing but glee for this. (Especially because...

Well Pablo Schreiber is a genuinely good actor and got into even more amazing shape for this role... so despite the trailer I'm guessing we will see him out of the armor at least some of the time.

Well they clearly spent a good chunk of cash on this...

Is Pike having a crisis of faith part of campaign one? I ask because of her lame blessing and then seeming to have her holy symbol broken during the fight with the Briarwoods. I had heard Ashley was working a lot during the first campaign and this might be a narrative way to explain a...

So long as the money is rolling in no one really cares. It's only after the money printing press goes offline that people start to take a closer look at stuff.

I feel like there should be a vast middle ground between do-not-look-at-me-or-I-will-cancel-you:womyn-power and whatever the fuck that is.

The first two are the original Kickstarter pilot they wanted to make that covers a story from before the stream started. The third episode is very fun however!

The shade that the Armorer is throwing at Bo Katan is palpable.

Well that was pretty awesome! Also was that actually BD-1?? She did call him BD... Loved the flashback. Loved the callbacks to Episode-1 I want the Lego of that ship right fucking now.

Makes one think that game directors etc should be more recognized beyond just the Kojima elite

^^^^^^^^^^ The subscription game does indeed seem to be where its at. From the point of view of gamers Game Pass seems like an incredible deal, but from Microsoft's point of view its amazeballs simply because its predictable revenue. They share out royalty chunks on some sort of usage scheme...

Really digging the new ability progression that gives little boosts every level. Nice feeling of progression plus it gets me to try abilities I might otherwise skip over during usual 'rotation'. Templar, however, really is easy-mode at low levels provided you have some +fire damage in your...

I assumed the 'side projects' the one producer referenced were things like cross-promotions with different companies or setting up the ability to do Fortnite style events. I could easily see a CEO looking at Fortnite cash and asking why their similar game wasn't doing that kinda exponential...

Given the nonchalant way he talked about the closet I kinda wonder if Peacemaker might not be a technical guy like his father without anyone having previously noticed / cared owing to how dim he seems otherwise.

Wouldn't it be Marcos baby mama? For Filip it would just be mama...

Apparently they shot 5 and a half episodes and the original actor and Gunn were just on different pages about the character plus the actor had no interest in being involved with the show or the character long term. The original dude was 51 so had a different dynamic with a similarly aged...

Sweet merciful crap. Freddie Stroma is killing it as Vigilante. (Note that even in episodes like this which are directed by someone else its James Gunn who directed any scene with Vigilante as they had to reshoot them all after they replaced the actor with Freddie) I'm digging everything...

But... how? Its not like males and females have a different number of limbs. Is swinging a sword fundamentally different for a male vs female? Yeah women have breasts but that should just be a torso morphology algorithm that then gets a texture map tweak if it looks like the algorithm...

I'm assuming from the audio stinger at the end of episode 4 that Shan intends to hire Din Djarin as 'muscle', so we are gonna get him in the show.

The premise kinda sorta makes sense but gets lost in the single expository scene. Ajak is perfectly fine with the Celestials reproductive mission (she's the only one who knows what it is) until the Thanos snap happens and then is undone by humans. These two events cause her to rebel because...

https://news.microsoft.com/2022/01/18/microsoft-to-acquire-activision-blizzard-to-bring-the-joy-and-community-of-gaming-to-everyone-across-every-device/ Yeah he's staying as CEO until the deal closes in FY2023. Regulators have to approve a deal of this kind given the antitrust rules.

At this point Activision is just damaged goods. This is a way for them to try and limp forward with whatever remains of their dignity after Kotick and the board fucked the whole thing up. Microsoft gets some valuable IP out of the deal which they can then repurpose as they see fit. Do they...

Microsoft buying Activision Blizzard for $95 a share. Total value $68.7 B

The fact that speed is the sole metric of success for M+ is just silly. Some should just be hard as hell to even clear, others should have different success criteria like 'total amount healed < X' or 'Health never drops below Y' or whatever.

Oh this looks good... I'm a big fan of Oscar Isaac and Moon Knight is a truly fucked up character.

I'm not an animator, admittedly, but it seems bonkers that making a male and female version of a character requires double or even 1.5 times as much work as creating a mono gendered one. Other games have one set of animation for both genders and multiple 'body types' and seem capable of...

I'm digging the 'loot animation' with the spinning item flying to the backpack. Not digging how easy it is for grey mobs to slam me... New interesting bug. Died in combat with a DOT on the boss and was still in combat after respawning and able to kill the thing. Went back and he was still...

Have you met my friend Vigilante? He seems very clearly irredeemable and perfect as a result.

Only one gender? Pffft amateur. So both Horde and Alliance would be Black Dragons I assume, just aligned with whatever your 'biped' form was? Worgen Black Dragons would be a hoot...

or an eternal in the body of a perpetual child knowing full well that this will result in serious psychological issues? The best I can come up with is that the obvious flaws existed to demonstrate to the eternals that they WEREN'T created...i.e. no one in their right mind would have created...

Probably fan garbage but whatever: 10.0 Leak That certainly has a certain ring of truth about it. Would tick most of the boxes we've already speculated while also remaining horrifically myopic.

Im still waiting for an explanation for his Dad. Yeah yeah white supremacist etc whatever...but what about the 'closet'??

Yeah apparently James Gunn hired the choreographer before realizing that it was Alan Tudyk's wife. Thus the earliest test videos of the choreography were Alan Tudyk dancing like a crazed person. The man is everywhere!

Wig Wam is definitely feeling the 'James Gunn Effect' right now. I suspect before its done this series will have minted a bunch of new hair metal fans from the Millennial / Gen Z population.

I know I shouldn't care, but I can't help myself... What is the Celestial plan with sending these folks? Ikaris makes sense as he's insanely powerfull. Makkari works as well so long as you let super speed do it's thing. Druig is good for sentient local species herding. Phastos is there...

Noticed when I enter a room or a combat and start to cast a spell as soon as I can that it often fails. Not as in 'fizzles' but rather the whole spell finishes casting and even makes the sound effect (but not the visible effect) but nothing happens.

I wonder what was wrong with the original Vigilante? They shot like 5 episodes before they split due to 'creative differences' and they got Freddie Stroma instead. Its fair to say that Freddie is damn near perfect, so it seems to have been a good choice.
