    Marvel Universe stuff

    Probably worth their money to keep stringing it along w/ hopes for a nice arrangement from Marvel of some kind if they want to try and bring some aspect of the FF into the MCU.

    Not much of a difference, but in the email they send you before they auth it's listed asDRI*HTC CORP ORDERFIND COM MN. I did a live chat w/ Discover to make sure it was noted, in case there were any issues.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Surprised they haven't tied other releases and cosmetic items to an annual pass program. SC2 + expansion(s), Overwatch, Beta access, they've had plenty to offer. Free money. I didn't bite on Overwatch, but if the premium edition came w/ Legion beta access in addition to the other goodies I...

    So has anyone put any of their planets in their own sector, is that kind of like creating a new faction for you to then deal with? Didn't notice the 5 planet limit I was under until I built a 6th. Think I'm researching the next level of government though so maybe that won't be an issue for...

    Deadpool (2016)

    Colossus was 5 people, pretty awesome and one of my favorite things about the movie's production.

    I'm an idiot, for some reason I was only building mining stations in systems I had planets or a frontier station. For some reason I didn't think you could just build it at any star in your territory.

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    Not a big transmog guy, but hopefully I'm in the beta before I finish my Ulduar and ICC legendary weapons (halfway done w/ shards for each) or I might turn to the dark side.

    Locally there's a lot of 'then the Fertitas could contribute to the Las Vegas stadium deal and/or buy/become part owners of the Raiders and finish bringing them to town' locally. They sold the Palms this week too.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Yeah, I got one a few years ago for the same reasons, he's not going to be around much longer and got a poor quality copy of an old spider man book signed just as a fan, not really as a collector (or I'd have gotten something nicer than ASM #41 and gotten it CGC'd). Was kind of a sad...

    Comic Books

    I'm down to a couple of books a week, if that. Nothing is interesting and have never been able to really get into indie stuff. Not sure I'd buy any Marvel aside from recent #1s if I wasn't interested in the Apocalypse stuff going on in the X-books. Standoff so completely boring and couldn't...

    I liked DOFP overall, but after how good First Class was I was ready to never revisit that old cast again.

    Yeah, it was a really nice call back to the comic, a nice moment not spoiled by trailers somehow.

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    Which I then justified with the rest of my post, what do you disagree with? As demonstrated above by Caliane these movies will continue to be made. What would get people to stop showing up in droves for the MCU would be some poor casting and poor quality outings. Thankfully we don't seem to...

    Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

    If there's any bubble, it's probably the MCU. If they have some big misses, push out a couple of movies that aren't that great, miss on recasting Cap and Iron Man among others when the time comes... that momentum for the world they've built and the tempo they release films. Otherwise maybe...

    She probably would have chosen one over the other just for the expected residuals, before Deadpool became a surprise blockbuster.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Definitely know what you mean. They also lack the cohesiveness and continuity of the MCU. Instead we have loosely tied together X-Men movies and spin-offs that are for the most part disconnected. Legion's show and Wolverine movies completely disconnected, New Mutants likely about as connected...

    Having a hell of a time getting room-scale VR working well. Then when things get going OK for a bit the headset just decides to stop tracking (meanwhile you can see the controllers moving on the mirrored screen). Frustrating, will do more troubleshooting tomorrow and rework how I've setup my...

    Got some cables in, so setting up room-space VR in the living room tonight. Office where my PC is right next to it, just wanted to extend the length of the cables connected to the breakout box and get a longer HDMI to feed the living room TV for spectators - having friends over tomorrow night...

    World of Warcraft: Current Year

    They'd probably increase in line with quest rewards, if at all. I'm relatively poor, probably 70k across all my toons. Just didn't care to do the garrison money farming and have unsubbed twice since this expansion released.

    Wonder if they're just letting inflation go nuts this expansion, watch it cost 3k to repair our gear.

    I'd kinda forgotten about this until they went into the recruitment bit, the whole theater was giggling and happy, it was awesome. Biggest laugh, maybe of the movie were nearly back to back:
