    Dark Souls hit $2.8m, so they added another $51 add-on, oof. Up to about $332 for the game ($80) all the purchasable boss expansions.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    While I'm not a fan of the FF, I just have faith they could be done well and entertaining in the right hands... and their property allows for a lot of things to drive future phases of the MCU.

    Watching a movie was neat, watched a chunk of Deadpool. Couldn't play world of Warcraft on a 100"+ screen though, text too small and an occasional flicker depending on how much was going on on the screen. Audioshield my favorite thing so far. Will do some room scale stuff tomorrow after my...

    Contracts, probably. Why would they pull out? 'No, never mind, we don't want our property to appear in your movie that will probably be one of the biggest of the year, and no you can keep Downey Jr. we can do Spider-Man w/out Iron Man, who needs that kind of attention'

    Comic Books

    Hehe, last year I set off to finally re-read them, having bought the hardback omnibuses from Amazon on sale a couple of years ago. I didn't get very far and started just kinda skimming pages.

    I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN READ THE OLD SECRET WARS BOOKS! EVERYTHING IS ALL CAPS! AND WITH EXCLAMATIONS! AND OVER-NARRATED! Age of Apocalypse just reprinted it's collected hardcover edition. Always enjoy going back through that from time to time.

    Happened to check mine and it says released to fulfillment, so checked my Discover and now have a pending charge from the 26th, the day after my 'going to charge you soon!' email. Had a stated ship date of May. Waiting for some tracking info, ordered some tripods for the lighthouses

    The company putting it on sued them, so now the NFL is using the discovery process to subpoena losses from those sponsors of the event that was cancelled to determine liability/refute damages claims it looks like. But the headlines are that the NFL is harassing vendors. I'd be interested in...

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    There are a ton of things aligning to make it happen, just waiting for it all to fall apart. DraftKings and whatnot have certainly helped take the stink off of the 'gambling capital of the world' stigma that was an automatic no in the past.

    The potential of this falling and them moving to Texas instead is why it's thought that McNair and Jones would vote in the Raiders favor of it makes it that far. Their influence would bring other votes along with them.

    Wii U

    Guessing the strategy is 'we missed ideal launch windows due to some problem or logistics so this is when we could have it ready' or an assumption that no matter when it is released it will be supply constrained so what does it matter, release it once wallets have rebounded from the holidays.

    X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

    It's been suggested I thought that if Spider-Man does well that we could see the other rights holders come calling and see more partnerships like that. Especially FF, X-Men probably less likely with Deadpool taking off and that universe expanding on multiple fronts (New Mutants movie and Legion...

    Ball bounces differently too. Would prefer slightly larger court and 3v3 I think. Kinda got my fix and went back to competitive.

    Still not expecting it to happen, but even as a Chiefs fan I'd be a season ticket holder if it did. The Oakland Raiders are one step away from moving to Las Vegas | FOX Sports Big week either way, with or without the Raiders. Hope the stadium happens.

    Not bad, love Grid 2's destruction derby tracks, and the Xbox One Peggle was my first, interested in trying the original, and DG2. PS+ rumors almost enough to get me to resub, invading new Watch Dogs players could be fun.

    I think we're going to get an insecure kid, maybe by the end he'll step up and assert himself as a leader after finding his footing in the 3rd act... maybe kill off Mystique to snap Magneto out of Apocalypse's control and w/ Xavier missing/incapacitated or something and he steps up.

    Might need to update Chrome? Been a number of security-related updates in the last several months that could lead to issues like that I think. Not that I can name any off the top of my head, just know we ran into some issues at work with them.
