    Ghostbusters (2016)

    The power of Patty compels you! Looks decent. I'm glad they are embodying the 4 archetypes without making a direct copy of the original characters. They replaced the firehouse with a Chinese restaurant... which explains why there was so many days of filming in Chinatown here in Boston...

    Overwatch

    There is no question that any advantage early players have can be overcome and clearly Blizzard has been successful with this in the past (Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm). I do think they run the risk of alienating people who prefer to only play games when they are fresh/new. That is...

    Overwatch

    I was actually just thinking: Given that an entire fairly structured community / playstyle has already developed over the course of these two phases of beta anyone who actually buys the game and starts playing on day one is going to be at a severe disadvantage. For those people it is as if...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    http://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/...ck-to-q1-2017/ Quietly stated during an earnings call today. They mention a bunch of their releases for the rest of the year and put Mass Effect Andromeda as a 4th quarter release which starts Jan 1st 2017... Not too surprised although I would think...

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    They damn well better have some sort of resolution, even if it is just a one-off two hour special. After all we need to see the collapse of the SSR and see Peggy and Stark found S.H.I.E.L.D.

    The Magicians

    Does NBC / Universal have a premium format channel (aka place where you can show boobs and say fuck) they are aligned with? I suppose they could have thought of this as a straight-to-Hulu series. Maybe they will have an uncut version that appears later on Hulu?

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I used to be in a 2-3 ish year refresh and really felt by the time I hit the third anniversary of a given machine that I got a massive performance boost from the new machine. I'm actually a bit frustrated that a computer I put together back in 2011 is still running things pretty damn well...

    Master of Orion

    Anyone take the plunge?

    Marvel's Daredevil

    Iron Fist was considered problematic simply because he wasn't asian and yet was made to cash in on the kung-fu craze of the 70s in the same way that Power Man (Luke Cage) was to address blacksploitation films. Iron Fist doesn't need to have his costume off to show off his chest...

    Supergirl

    Indigo was something created for the Roy Harper version of the Outsiders which ran parallel to the 2003 Teen Titans reboot headed by Geoff Johns. From the future sent back to kill Donna Troy with a "good guy" Trojan horse program that was her personality after Roy 'fixed' her but which was...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I think it was the terrible geography more than the lack of flying that annoyed me on WoD launch. Pandaria was actually better suited to no-flying because the layout and overall topography made sense and you could easily move from one zone to the next overland following logical paths. WoD, on...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    That is very nearly a hipster Avatar. The only thing missing is a vinyl record and a PBR. I do wonder if the Knights of Ren are purely something that Kylo Ren made up as part of his emo rebellious youth, or if they tie into something more ancient. Since his given name is Ben I could see him...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Well I suppose Supes could put his fist through some civilians or maybe Wonder Woman has a wardrobe malfunction.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Great. You just ruined the first expansion! I actually do wonder about the storyline aspect of all of this, because it IS a Tom Clancy property and so even Bond Villain is a stretch for that sub-genre and I wonder just how much can be done with government agents wandering around with a...

    The Magicians

    Looks like they are literally flying north since the next episode seems to take place at some sort of arctic magic retreat complete with nutcase. The actors all seem to be on board with the complex hand movements, the stuff Julia was doing seemed like it would have take a lot of practice to...

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    Two episodes tonight but the finale isn't until next week

    The Magicians

    When I first saw the trailers for this I thought : "Oh christ...Vampire Diaries with magic", but I am very impressed with it. Especially because the main character is so incredibly flawed...hell all of them are very realistic complete fuck-ups but in a way that is rather believable.

    Watched the second episode last night. That is a turn I was not expecting, although it should have been obvious that something of that nature was going to occur.

    Overwatch

    It seems that by not having limits on heroes in a given match that it will have the eventual effect of making all the characters bland. There are essentially two ways you can avoid the stacked character syndrome without limits 1) Make it so that each character is more-or-less balanced...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    One thing that strikes me about Episode VII --> VIII is that always before the 'expanded universe' could fill the gaps between movies with whatever they wanted with the knowledge that most of it would be retconned out of existence. Marvel had their Star Wars comic book which rapidly went into...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Played some of this again this past weekend since I finished other games and am waiting for the Spring releases. I find it genuinely more entertaining on the Xbox than I did on the PC simply because certain aspects of the game really lend themselves to a console type controller. The whole...

    The Heavy Water War netflix

    I watched this weekend. Its a pretty good miniseries although it does over dramatize some aspects of the overall story. One of the chief issues that they never address in the series is that Germany really had no prayer of developing an atomic bomb with the resources they had. Some have...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    This is a game to play with friends either PVE or PVP. I met up with some decent PUG folk in the last Beta weekend and had some fun, but realistically you should only be going into this if you have a couple of friends to play with.

    Arrow

    Well he did mention having taken a nap in that very office so perhaps mumbo jumbo sympathetic magic / known location / left behind a focus / etc. Yeah it is a major major stretch, but that is always a problem with comic book villainy : how to make the bad guy badass without making the defeat...

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    My guess is that they are doing craz-ay balance swings during this Open Beta to gather data on different use cases. Mostly the Open Beta is for marketing and network testing, but there's no reason the game design team can't get some useful stuff out of it too.

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Since each story mission is a "dungeon" which presumably has a level 30 difficulty in addition to normal and hard there would seem to be a decent chance of having group content other than Dark Zone to do with your pals at level 30. The much reduced size of the overall sandbox means that there...

    Damn damn damn I love this show. The cast are all top notch.

    11.22.63

    I watched this last night and was impressed with it. I haven't read the book it is based on,but the length of it seems suited to the miniseries format. I actually like that they are releasing one episode a week because it allows time to talk about it with people vs having to hide until you...

    Warhammer RTS: "Battlefleet Gothic: Armada"

    Games Workshop stuff always seemed more advanced than me, like me and my friends were simply not worthy of gaming in a universe with such detailed imagery and crazy shoulder pads. I remember playing D&D or Palladium or Champions or one of a dozen other role playing games and thinking "maybe we...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I really enjoyed Mistweaver Monk in MoP, not because of the overpowered orb craziness but because the overall flow of channeling mists and then using Chi was a very fun cycle that felt much more organic than other healer classes, especially with the low global cooldown. Since that point they...

    DC's Legends of Tomorrow

    I don't think they had enough writers lined up for this. Every episode feels like someone just took the show Bible and came up with their own standalone that uses the same beats.

    Marvel's Agent Carter

    Apparently the ratings are really bad this season, so I very much doubt we will see a season 3. Shame as I consider Agent Carter to be a damn good action comedy period piece.

    The Flash

    I think I'd rather have an Earth 2 Justice Society show than Legends of Tomorrow at this point. Good to see that Cisco is going to be getting a powerup out of all of this though

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    Still nothing official about an Open Beta? People were quizzing me yesterday about it and wanting to leave Destiny behind (yeah some still play) so an Open Beta might bring in more sales of those hardcore casuals (go all in but do not typically follow game development)

    The Expanse

    TheExpansecame up at the SuperBowl festivities yesterday. Those of us who had watched it were praising it's virtues to those who had not...all of which had simply not heard of it. Of those that did watch I was the only one to have done so via TV including DVR

    Tom Clancy's The Division

    I honestly didn't even realize there were 'factions' until I saw that posting. I figured there had to be some sort of overall plot to the thing, but it just seemed like a bunch of gang bangers with automatic weapons rampaging around.

    Thank god we get Killer Frost next episode. They need to give Caitlin more to do than pine away for Jay Garrick
