    And now X-Men blue and gold. They really seem to be bringing everything back from before they started doing stupid shit with Inhumans.

    They've got telemetry for the ExoMars lander from the craft they successfully put into orbit: The data have been partially analysed and confirm that the entry and descent stages occurred as expected, with events diverging from what was expected after the ejection of the back heat shield and...

    Hugh Jackman: Logan

    They'll be able to use the same song to show fan reaction as they leave the theater. So looks like Reavers replace Hulklings and Xavier replacing Hawkeye in a simplified Old Man Logan story.

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    $299 w/ dock IMO, $350, tops. Not getting a tablet out of this, getting a small LCD taped to a brick playing cartridge games with inexpensive controllers. A lot less moving parts.

    It's the day for shitty space news. NASA's Juno spacecraft went into safe mode last night Juno went into safe mode at closest approach, already they're talking about being stuck in the 53 day orbit rather than the 14 they were going to park in.

    Orbiter emerged from behind Mars, that's looking good. Nothing yet from the lander, they've received a more detailed set of data on the descent from Mars Express but it's being processed still. Edit: Mars Express data inconclusive :(

    I'm not a fan of their approach with this one. Traditional head shield + fairing + parachute entry, followed by powered descent w/ ~9 rockets... then just before it gets to the surface it cuts all the rockets and 'crashes' into the surface, with a part of the spacecraft designed to crumple on...

    ESA lander is on Mars. Signal detected throughout the descent but nothing since landing/impact. Orbiters may be able to relay a signal in the next 45-90 minutes but people seem to be preparing for bad news.

    Biggest video game surprise?

    Rocket League is probably my biggest surprise since the original Tribes. I hate PVP in games, I suck bad at them, and while that hasn't changed I've got over 250 hours in Rocket League.

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    I was so wrong about my expectations of Ghost Rider on this. Would love to see Blade and Johnny Blaze hit Netflix, but Robbie Reyes is great.

    Road Rash on 3DO was the first game I remember hearing real music in and still think of that whenever I hear Black Hole Sun.

    So here we are, as a species doing our science thing, seeing how big we think the observable universe is, and we think it has about 200 billion galaxies in it ... and then one day we realize that figure should have another 0 at the end. At least. Hubble Reveals Observable Universe Contains 10...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    More or less, yeah. Demons using rifts impact more than just the usual haunts, broken through to other realities, heroes rising up to repel them. Expansion pitting the Zerg against the forces of hell causing us to ally with a resurgent Diablo to preserve the natural order of things, etc...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Mark Davis confirmed their plan is to play in Oakland 2 more seasons (they have 1 year options at the Coliseum) while the Las Vegas stadium is built. At one point there was talk about trying to play a preseason game in Vegas each of those years at Sam Boyd but we'll see if there's anything to...

    My dream still for a followup to Diablo 3 is somewhat already done in Heroes of the Stom - mixing of all their properties, but add a campaign and the rift mechanics, etc.

    Suicide Squad (2016)

    If there's some good sources on Kodi/Exodus I'll probably give it another go as I play WoW or something. Beyond the introductions and some of the set pieces it was bad, but really enjoyed that first quarter and a few bits here and there. I don't think the EC will get me to like the Enchantress...

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    I feel like they only showed Diamondback over the edge, and never established he was a brutal mastermind prior. Shades obviously had a lot of respect for him and it wasn't for being crazy and stupid. Shades and Cottonmouth were so good. Really loved every bit of time they got in every episode.

    Marvel's Luke Cage

    Long Live the Chief is catchy as hell. Enjoyed this a lot. Wish the last episode had another hour to decompress a little, but like an amusement part ride slowing down and getting off is rarely the best part.

    We don't mind the KS8000 UI, and nice that my 8k series 60" from a 2014? updated to something as simple instead of the full screen thing they'd been doing for a few years. Just for Youtube/Amazon/Netflix really.

    Biggest video game disappointment?

    MS not being able to execute some form of their initial vision for the Xbox One is probably my biggest disappointment. We're slowly getting bits and pieces still, but shattering the divide between digital and physical copies while preserving the ability to trade them in would have been awesome...
