HBO is fighting for relevancy in the era of streaming content providers and yet they arent even offering up a full HD signal much less the sort of fidelity I now expect with a 'premium' content source. Very disappointing. I did note that The Mandalorian on Disney+ will be in 4K on the day...

Anyone still playing this? Has there been any sign of the 'real bad guys' as part of the Anthem Live Service? For all their talk about a continuingly active live content I haven't seen any sign of it.

How are you getting HBO in 4K? I thought they were only mastered for 4K for the physical media releases? The scene at the Umber castle looked like shit and I suspect that it was meant for HDR10-type low light enhanced contrast.

The coming conflict is seriously lopsided. The 'good guys' major claims to fame are the ability to have weapons that actually damage the undead, a pair of dragons that are prone to dragon-seeking ice missiles and subsequent full conversion, and a cripple who can see things. There is a...

I would have figured that Winterfell had to fall before Episode 3 in order to move the plot along at the right place. It looks like the big battle might end up being the 3rd episode, however, which is problematic as they then need to address conquering the rest of Essos with only 3 episodes...

for Game of Thrones season eight are: • Episode one – 54 mins • Episode two – 58 mins • Episode three – 60 minutes • Episode four – 78 minutes • Episode five – 80 minutes • Episode six – 80 minutes

I believe the first is one of the shortest, others come in at like 80+ minutes.

Yara made a damn good point. I always thought the aerie would be the final battle point given its strategic placement, but the iron isles are close to ice zombie proof.

Cameron Monaghan is a great choice for this character.

My point was that if a good portion of the Death Star 2 made a quasi soft landing on Endor (any part of that system) it would have been gone over thoroughly by now.

It's a cool image, but how the fuck does a good fraction of an intact Death Star end up anywhere but Endor? Not to mention you would think one of the thousands of ships present when it blew up would have taken notice.

The Thrawn trilogy holds a special place because it was the first part of the Expanded Universe and the first non-comic post ROTJ content created. Thrawn himself is a fantastic character and that is why he got used in Rebels to good effect. Mara Jade was another great character who has never...

She was on the stage and interviewed but I did not see Kelly Marie Tran in the actual teaser trailer. Anyone catch her? edit: found a pic, so she's definitely around but maybe not too much. Certainly improved on her hair / overall look.

As in the Jedi/Sith are over a the title Skywalker replaces them as Balanced Force User

My favorite character is back!! "Roll it again" I lost my shit.

So it's looking likely that Discovery gets tossed into the future and thereby will allow us to explore some timeline past TNG/DS9/VOY. Though obviously Spock can't be on the ship when it happens so something has to get him off the ship before they wormhole away. Seems odd that Ash Tyler...

Civil War is amazing but it's really Avengers 2.5. They should use that as a model for how to set up other big tentpole movies now that we are moving past Infinity Stones.

Well they confirmed Alan Tudyk will be back for the Cassian Andor series on Disney+, so that's encouraging

In many ways Rogue One has the commando attack on an Imperial Installation that we should have gotten with ROTJ. For all the problems with SOLO I think Rogue One demonstrates there is room for more stories within the broader context.

Return of the Jedi was, in many ways, a mistake but one that was born of the era. Following Empire Strikes Back you could easily have had several follow-on movies that documented the continual back-and-forth nature of the conflict with the Empire/Sith/Force etc. Instead we got a single...

They are trying to mimic the original Charles Addams strips from the New Yorker. I think they were worried that not having a PIXAR-like fully computer rendered world would kill them for marketing to their core family audience.

How do you run without any heal?

So was doing Tidal Basin when a mob dropped a 5th piece of True Patriot gear. Since it was a PUG I figured I'd just screw around and equipped the 5 pieces. The Red, White and Blue business is pretty damn cool.

Finally saw Good Hunting. Don't think I've ever seen something as purely Steampunk as this actually get made. Very impressive

So binged the game this weekend and I'm super impressed with it and sad that I seem to be nearing the end. Always cool to see fantasy through the lens of a different culture and the game mechanics are pretty darn nice. Also a plus: it's a lesser known title so if you get stuck on a puzzle the...

Not exactly shocking that a famously acerbic lesbian comic would be playing an acerbic lesbian engineer.

Been playing this after I saw it at PAX and then realized it was part of Xbox Game Pass. Lots of fun if you are a fan of the Bard Tale type genre (which I very much am) and the full voice acting is a nice touch even allowing for your own character to have both a voice and class specific...

Thank You DOA Guess there weren't enough Early Access users so they are shutting down the company effective immediately.

I love Borderlands, I might get the collec...tors... $250?!?!? Okay so I'll be getting Deluxe then.

It isn't that Frostbite caused them to fail so much as that it was a 100 lbs weight hanging around their necks that made everything much more difficult than it should have been. It's been a perpetual handicap that just drains stamina from teams. The whole studio suffered from it for...

What does it take for EA to finally admit that the money they are 'saving' on using Frostbite is far too expensive in lost productivity and eventual lost sales?

Unreal is by far the best thing when it comes to portability. It is the anti-Frostbite.

I really like articles like this. Even if you aren't a super gamer it is good to see how team projects go awry due to various missteps.

AMC is completely down now and 3rd parties are locked out. From reports on Twitter it seems that in the server crush they managed to sell the same reserved seats multiple times.

AMC is toast. Got as far as selecting seats at one point but the whole transaction system is down now. We have a nice home theater with 9 recliners in three rows. We would absolutely pay $100 to screen it at home.

3 Hour 2 min runtime... 22 minutes longer than Infinity War. Well we will certainly be getting our monies worth.

All-in-all the cast has performed exceptionally well over the years. Sure you have legends like Diana Rigg on the show, but a huge number of those actors in season 1 were complete and total unknowns. The casting director for that original pilot deserves some serious accolades.

"Oooo multipack"

Your snowflake is showing, ya better get that looked at.
