    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    I still think legendaries should become heirlooms or something after their expansion, or have an additional questline to do that. People would play that content forever if they did, unless an expansion changes something too much to adapt the old quest.

    VR Gaming - Oculus Rift, Playstation VR, HTC Vive

    Dumb. Saw some journalists complaining that they have received embargoed 4/1 stories too. Some people just trying too hard. Or maybe I'm just getting too old/busy for the stupidity of 4/1 A lot of RTS games could create a nice tabletop feel w/ VR I'd think.

    Here's the PC confirmation: Final Fantasy XV on Twitter: The DX11 generation tech used for #FFXV is for console only. Once FFXV is out on console we may look at a higher spec version for PC

    Comic Books

    Injustice has been better, but have been busy and haven't been reading it the last month or so. Thought last year was pretty bad relative to the fun the rest of the books have been.

    Virtual Reality

    If a VR game is on steam, that means Vive, and maybe Rift compatibility? Any easy rule of thumb there if they don't explicitly differentiate? Wonder how well the Vive will fit on the Thanos or Deadpool head banks I've got.

    Virtual Reality

    I ordered a Vive. Shipping in May, got the same notice Spronk posted... think they were just trying to remind us how awesome it will be given the flurry of other news when it was sent out from the other products I went with the Vive because of Valve and the option to do the unseated VR stuff...

    Marvel's Daredevil

    That fight on the roof was pretty damn dark once it got underway. It was dark enough that I was wondering about how much of a bitch it was to shoot rather than the fight itself.

    MAKE WARCRAFT 4 YOU COCKLICKERS

    Warcraft 4 could be more Supreme Commander-style than Starcraft, larger scale battles. SC2 is kinda claustrophobic to me. Though really I'd prefer they take the Heroes of the Storm approach and lump all their properties into versions of current games. Let me run a Zerg campaign and run...

    Wii U No More

    Closest analogous console would be how quickly MS moved on from the first Xbox probably? Wii fell off a cliff, Wii U never climbed up it. Now to see what they're going to do mid-gen and if it'll have legs to last into the next one or we do this again in 3 years.

    We replaced the carpet, new blinds on more than a dozen windows and painted the whole house, realtor expected our appraisal to come in a little higher than the $205-210k comps (listed at $219k). Came in 'at value' today, which means at least the $222k offer we accepted. Ecstatic. The offer is...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, I'm wondering how well Inhumans and Ms. Marvel will be, but they've yet to really disappoint. Probably both be vehicles to give the Avengers line of movies a break and/or refill their ranks to replace regular members.

    Better than nothing, but pretty damn close to it, lol. Microsoft is thinking about digital trade-ins for Xbox One games | GamesRadar+ I'd keep my library for a few bucks a title, but the mechanism being out there to maybe be iterated on and used for other things is good to see.

    It isn't. Just a data point, and is only valuable in the context that it's a website automatically generating it for you based on comps that might not be very good. We listed our house for $220k and are sceptical it will appraise for that much (expecting $210k or so). We accepted a bid 2nd...

    Sausage Party (2016)

    I take it back, probably go see this opening weekend, best way to watch this is with as many people in the theater as possible and been a while since I've seen a funny movie like that. Maybe the Nutty Professor. Haven't watched a trailer this many times that wasn't comic-related in a while, lol.

    Virtual Reality

    I'm on the fence working on wife faction. Once that's done I'll probably order a Vive, but really want to try more than just the cardboard first before spending the cash. Probably get a PSVR towards the end of the generation once we know it at least things like cinema mode has PS5 support.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I'm really surprised at how competitive that service ended up being. SlingTV has a lot of work to do, with their single stream per sub (PSVue is 5) and relatively poor channel selection. They're also on the verge of losing NBC owned channels in a carriage dispute, DISH Network tends to have...

    Captain America: Civil War (2016)
