    The Boys

    Supes using V is implied to basically be like shooting up performance enhancing drugs and cocaine all in one: You get a temporary boost in your power, but long term it ends up doing more harm than good and degrades your power set He was main cast on the show Killjoys most recently

    Star Trek: Discovery

    I'm not 100% sure how much to read into the CBS Discovery numbers. It's essentially a "rerun" at this juncture. Trek fans have probably been aware of or watched it long ago. That leaves, what, casual viewers? There can't be many of them.

    The Boys

    If The Boys end up taking compound V in the show, I am guessing they pretty much end up with Kimiko level powers: Extremely strong and durable/can regen, but that is about it. From a show perspective, that is pretty much all they need to not get insta-gibbed by other supes. You can only have...

    The Boys

    Vought has the resources and clout to allow the human testing go on. Like Velk said, their interests both align at the moment: Make a compound-V that can be used on adults safely. Although there has to be more to it then that? I'm guessing Stormfront was an adult when the compound was...

    Star Trek: Picard

    Morality episodes I am assuming he means the "Enterprise crew is confronted with an ethical dilemma" episodes, some of which involved the Prime Directive and others did not.

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    Oil popped tastes so much better than air. Good extra virgin olive oil adds a nice flavor to it. Although butter would help air popped regardless. Toss some nice melted Irish butter on it, not some cheap land o lakes shit.

    The Boys

    They could have still needed her for their tests. They seemed to only destroy things that were of no more use to them. Super powerful telekinesis powers is a pretty damned good ability. It was also Kenji’s power...maybe he was an unwitting test subject for power transfer that wasn’t as...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    The crank is mostly to prevent burning on the stove top due to uneven pops. Kernels won’t pop until the oil reaches a certain temperature, but kernels also pop at different rates. I suspect that device you got gets around that by trying to keep the popped stuff away from the heat source so you...

    The Boys

    No, but just like in real life, they have no qualms reaping the rewards of that research. Vaught took the nazi “race of supermen” literally. Homelander is a literal Aryan Superman, so it isn’t surprising Stormfront is enamored with him. Like others suspected, Vaught wants to be able to...

    Theater Chain Death Watch? Chapter 11s inc

    I bought a Whirley POP from Bed&Bath for like $20. Put in some oil and popcorn, put on stovetop, turn crank, you have fresh popcorn in a few minutes that beats the shit out of microwave popcorn.

    $5 for popcorn + drink would be ok vs. their normal prices

    Visited a few worlds today. Update does look nice

    Final Fantasy 16

    FF14 at least has an in-game lore reason to explain that there is a multiverse and the other FF games happen in those other worlds.

    Disney+ Streaming Service

    Nah. What it will probably do is use changing TV as a metaphor for reality/nostalgia, much in the way TV changed over time to be grittier or “realistic”. Her perfect reality eventually changes as more of the real world seeps into it, shattering her fantasy. The TV show format works because...

    I wonder what EQ server he played on?

    The Mandalorian

    Gina Carano has mentioned that Pascal would take off his helmet off screen for some scenes during character interactions with her, since it helped her with acting

    Final Fantasy 16

    FF games have long suffered from “here is a final boss out of nowhere!” with a few exceptions, like FF7 or 6.

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    To half you dinks bitching about FO76, it is a much better game than release. The FO76 hate videos don’t even show up anymore from the big channels because the outrage of the month Youtube crew has moved on to other clickbait to farm those sweet ad dollars

    No Man's Sky

    Ya, looks neat. Going to check it out later tonight to see what changed if the patch drops by then.

    Supergirl

    Ya, they went overt SJW around that time and just went full throttle. You want SJW stuff in your show, great, but don't be so fucking on the nose about it (which Supergirl was). It sort of took you out of the show kind of like an extreme product placement in a show took you out of it. When...

    Supergirl

    She actually has pretty good chemistry with The Flash, so would be cool to get the occasional cameo there

    Supergirl

    Show has been on for a bit and have seen lots of cast turnover. With a new Superman show coming, seems like a good time to end the SG run and have characters from the show cameo or move to Superman

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Ya, actor creative input isn't always a bad thing. Many famous scenes have resulted from that ("Here's Johnny!", Indiana Jones shoots the sword dude instead of fighting him, the "tears in the rain" speech in Blade Runner, etc).

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Brewmasters in MoP felt so damn good to play because of the way the tank resource (I forget the name of it) scaled our guard and self-heals like it was spell power. I remember using that monk heal that jumped from target to target and getting 6-7 digit heal numbers off each bounce. It was all...

    The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance

    They'll probably do a comic like they did for Farscape to continue the story post PK Wars

    Microsoft buys Fallout creator Bethesda for $7.5bn

    Unless MS finds gross mismanagement, I doubt a whole lot will change outside Zenimax itself. Long term, Zenimax itself is probably at great risk of management turnover and replacement than the actual game dev studios. It will probably end up with most of the Zenimax functions being rolled into...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    You can't read too much into Gamestop allocations. Even 20 years ago, places like EB and GS's per-store allocation was a factor of 1) How much purchasing was able to secure from the vendors 2) anticipated demand 3) how much the home office was sending out to each district/store. They would...

    It will support whatever helps its message and helps it maintain power and control.

    HoC was also talked about a lot because it was the first major streaming show that matched the stuff put out by regular TV

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Agree. My grandfather fought at Guadalcanal and he -hated- that film. If I recall, we watched it together on TV and he turned and said to me "what a bunch of pretentious crap. We weren't reflecting on life and existence, we were too busy trying not to get shot"

    The Boys

    It was literally the only way it could have ended with them alive. They in no way could fight off Black Noir.

    Raised by Wolves

    It is and it isn't. For good shows, I think it is an advantage to have the "water cooler" aspect and it still goes on. Look at all of us theorizing about major shows over the years that were popular. Those discussion threads basically wither and die without that and just become "let's theory...

    The Boys

    This is highly likely. Every streaming service seems to be experimenting with different show release ideas. Disney+ pushed for that with Mandolorian with 1 episode per week, Raised by Wolves seems to be a double drop every weekly, Netflix and Amazon have been doing "half season now, half...

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    There are lots of "good" movies that are rated that way because they're basically well written, have maybe 1 standout actor, and some good cinematography...but ultimately they aren't very entertaining or even memorable in many cases. I sort of liken it to appreciating a painting vs...

    Those are good numbers, but I have to imagine box office totals in a normal environment would have exceeded that.

    Archer

    From what I remember, he got shot and was face down in a pool. They thought the robot Archer (which was supposed to be the decoy in the pool) was the real Archer, so they didn't bother to help him out of the pool.

    Final Fantasy 16

    Zodiac Age is 12, isn't it? FF13 is the Lightning one. 14 is the MMO. And ignore the shit in this thread. We literally know nothing about game mechanics beyond it being action oriented. People see a trailer with no UI elements and are like "omg, FF game with only 1 person!!". Wait for the...

    Call of Duty 2020: Black Ops Cold War

    C4 already has a damage nerf vs players, but I do agree it is a fairly low skill vehicle kill in its current form. Radius nerf would be best option. Also boost weapon thermite damage vs vehicles.
