So I just learned that this is a sequel to an Oculus Rift game. Most of the art assets are reused from that game as is the general plotline what with the dreamers, Ford, etc...

So I had rewatched the film a couple weeks back in preparation for this (and because it was a nice remastered version) and I spent the first 15 mins of the first episode going 'wait... what??' The storyline in the original movie was pretty basic --- Crystal is heart of planet and super powerful...

I did all the codes manually like a commoner. Don't even know if the 'bonus weapon' we get is even gonna be worth the effort. I do like their psycho adverts though:

I only remembered this when someone on Slack mentioned they were playing it. There has been zero advertisement for this sucker! When I went to look on the Xbone Store for it it didnt show up until the full name was entered and even then it was after a bunch of controllers. This is really...

I like how they treat magic in this world. They even make fun of the term as just being that which humans don't understand. Mind you what does happen goes waaaay beyond what we would count as 'science' but it's rather presented as a sort of scientific practice rather than waving your hands...

They kind of address this by mentioning that the Fae had millennia of civilization before the humans but never were interested in making machines / modern weapons of war. So they can fly but the humans showed up with machine guns. I suspect this will become a major plot point as the...

While a lot of it has obvious echoes in Victorian era stuff I feel that the 'war' itself has more of a basis in Vietnam what with the whole 'that was a war we could have won!' business. I also see that Jill Pantozzi of io9 disliked the show, which is also high praise in my book as she has...

I am interested to see what the deal is with The Pact. They are essentially faceless villains whenever we hear about them, which is not terribly often past the first 10 mins of the first episode Are they truly as horrible as they are made out to be? Why did they have all those women and...

Ended up binging the whole damn thing and it was great. Victorian to a T with all manners of elements from the literature of the period as well as the waning of the gilded age in the UK combined with the plight of the immigrants in America** with just enough dark fantasy to leave you wanting...

This dropped today. Not sure on the overarching plot yet, but the production values are through the roof. It's got BBC period-piece authenticity for a completely fantastical version of roughly 1890. (Though it's 600-something by their calendar) To the extent that there is a common 'big bad'...

Summons got fucked, so did Ex-Cultists since you are anchored to the original Ex-Cultist set now after Spirit was gutted.

He is gonna be one scrawny ass Muadib... but he is a good actor so I guess its better than some Shia LaBeouf level shit.

the Xbone version is quite playable. I may replay it bone-style if I finish with Remant before Borderlands hits

Is there a list of minimum levels for the different zones? I saw a post that said the World Boss for Earth was minimum 5 for example.

Well its clear that there will be a suitable gap in time between the last movie and this one. (As there should have been between TFA and TLJ). This will also allow, later, for a suitably epic animated series to fill in the interim ala Clone Wars.

FINALLY! My fucking B-Wings are back!! (Yeah and Y-Wings too...don't see any U-Wings though)

Me and my buddy been playing this largely co-op splitting between our two worlds back and forth. Anyway we had a horrible bitch of a time with Ent to the point where we were doing raid-boss type tweaking and calling out 'mortar mortar!' over party chat etc. Was such a rush to win though and...

Finally watched this last night and quite liked it. It really deserved to do better at the box office. I also lost it at 'Oh My God you people are terrible at communicating'

Strange cucked? What? What's wrong with Strange?

Given that the Kingpin was used in Daredevil for Netflix, what is the status of Spiderman TV/streaming rights? Could Disney do a Tom Holland Disney+ series for the MCU?

Borderlands comes out in 3 weeks and that is the pre-designated 'BFF' game my crew has been waiting for. I think this is too much like and releasing too close to Borderlands for us to grab it.

Spiderman global merch sales were $1.3B in 2014, presumably it has only grown since then especially given how popular the character is in Asia. Disney gets 100% of all the merch currently so they aren't hurting.

5% first dollar gross might not be 5% is all they get, just that they start earning money on day 1 vs. when it turns a profit. However the structure likely meant that Disney's total stake was fairly low given that these movies do most of their business in the opening week(s). It's hard to see...

This catches my eye as I did really like the base concept of Hellgate:London...

This looks insane... not necessarily in a good way.

Russian series that is somewhat like Detroit : Beyond Human. Probably of more value because of the insight to Russian culture than its own virtue.

Title: Better Than Us Genre: Sci-Fi & Fantasy Cast: Kirill Käro, Paulina Andreeva, Aleksandr Ustyugov, Ольга Ломоносова, Eldar Kalimulin, Vitaliya Kornienko, Vera Panfilova First aired: 2018-11-23 Overview: Moscow in a not so distant future where human beings share their daily lives...

Saw a blurb about this and decided to try it out and finished it in one sitting. Very interesting and thought provoking sort of interactive novel that is sort of a low-key Black Mirror kind of scenario. What got me the most is how much it feels like the game stole from my own life, but in a...

I don't see how basic cable of any variety survives at this point. The demographics show that the baby boomers are the dominant viewers of live TV and they are gonna start expiring soon.

Not surprising as SyFy keeps entering into these deals that are fundamentally retarded. They only get rights for primary live distribution with no streaming rights beyond a short window post airing. This fuckery is further compounded by advertising revenue that is locked to live+7 with a huge...

Even as space opera I would expect more of a character arc and less of a character cratering. Padme should be the ultimate tragic figure of the first trilogy, a strong character who becomes completely undone by her connection to the anti-hero Anakin. There is some of that in Episode III, but...

Episode I -- Padme is a strong queen of action, throwing herself in danger and blasting folk. Not someone to fuck with. Episode II -- Padme is a strong senator fighting for peace, flying a starfighter and kicking ass in a skin-tight white catsuit. Not someone to fuck with. Episode III -- Padme...

The overall setting is very Warhammer 40K with a bit of Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda thrown in.

It does look fantastic. I imagine Henson would be happy as the original was the project he had the most pride in.

I thought for sure that whole plotline about what to do if the aliens are hostible was just an elaborate ruse they were playing on the enemy AI because they knew what was going down. NOPE They gave a Death Star superlaser to a ship crewed by moron 27 year olds. I figure they had at least a...

Had not played an AoW before but picked this up and have been playing Multiplayer Online with a buddy. Quite fun especially with the simultaneous turns.

Speaking of younger kids they continue to do stuff like this to drum up interest in the grandchildren of the original fans :

Do it.... late the hate flow through you....

https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2019/08/06/environmentalists-canary-islands-well-seek-legal-action-stop-tmt-coming-here/ Surprise! A minority group in the 'perfect site' opposes the TMT as well. So will Jason Momoa and The Rock advocate for this now or are we just gonna hope that the Volcano...

I literally laughed out loud everytime they went to their 'deck-of-many-things' supply of backup characters. How many popsicles did they bring on this voyage?
