    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    yeah, that was basically my thought. the first review posted here obviously has some irritating glitches and AI/network issues that need to be addressed ASAP... but i also sort of looked at it like the dynasty warriors games. like, they are simple, repetitive, uninspired games but they scratch a...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    this guy's been streaming a good chunk of the day, he covers a ton of dnd stuff, but seems fairly level headed. anyway, you can watch him play and judge for yourself. if you like what you see, play the game. if you don't, then don't. just about as simple as that.

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    i mean he's always been in pretty decent shape. i think the "he's got bad genetics" is... well, i don't know. BUT it's important to note that while he might not necessarily have the kind of frame that would easily accommodate heavy muscle weight gain, the camera adds weight that isn't actually...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    the stamina drain thing is interesting because i watched someone else play catti-brie for a full level and he had zero stamina issues. i don't know exactly what was going on with it but the attacks he was doing was using basically the same stamina that wulfgar was using. SOME of the issues...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Well *I* don't know how to fix those things, but I know all kinds of games release with awful ai and abysmal network stability but several patches down the road those issues are fixed. I'm not saying this game will be among those, just it's par for the course for games now

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    yes, but like i said the stuff that people are being negative about are technical stuff like network stuff which could and should be patched out

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    from what i've seen and the several reviews i've watched, the things that people are really negative on could and should be fixed in a few patches. really just depends on how quickly the devs will take care of that stuff. unfortunately that is just the state of the gaming world at this point...

    Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins (2021)

    new trailer today. looks like super generic kung fu action. wouldn't be surprised if it originally had nothing to do with gi joe, but some studio exec forced them into it so they don't lose the license. but i just found out samara weaving is scarlet. which absolutely sucks because now i'm...

    Loki

    yeah, we've talked about it. credits called lady loki "sylvie." but i think someone else mentioned that somewhere else IN the show, one of the files that loki looks at calls her "Sylvie Laufeysdottir." sylvie could a) be sylvie lushton, the 2nd enchantress created by loki, b) a heretofore...

    Loki

    I'm glad you set us all straight. It seems most of us incorrectly really like the cap stories so it's a good thing you came in with an objective point of view and showed us all how wrong we've been. Also as far as the Thor 3 stuff goes I'm torn. It's objectively a better movie than Thor 1 and...

    Dark Alliance (Drizzt and co in Icewind Dale)

    Obviously it's hard to say whether it's worth or not at this point... But they are releasing 2 free dlc's that will add 3 extra levels and story, and then the paid dlc will add an extra playable characters (all we know is it is a wizard type character) and more story, but I don't think they said...

    Loki

    cap 1 had some pretty ground breaking special effects that LOOK simple but are mind blowingly complicated. pre serum steve needed some crazy effects to pull off.

    what watermarks are you seeing? i'm watching a stream and the only watermark is a "pre-release gameplay footage" mark at the very bottom right of the screen. it's barely taking up any real estate

    Loki

    yeah, the MCU makes some changes here and there like hela being thor's sister instead of loki's daughter. i'd guess they'd do something similar with sylvie not being directly created by loki. in mythology all the gods were related and it didn't necessarily mean much as far as power goes, but on...

    Loki

    both? loki created the 2nd enchantress, so maybe in the show she is created by a different variant loki and the TVA can't tell them apart? the timelords (or whatever form they actually are) are CLEARLY the bad guys. the TVA might not necessarily be bad... mobius seems like a pretty decent guy...

    Loki

    i'm... almost positive that's not girl loki. it's enchantress. or rather, the 2nd enchantress. the first one is named Amora, and the second one was created by loki, modeled after Amora, but is named Sylvie Lushton. the credits call her "Sylvie," she says she doesn't like being called Loki, and...

    Loki: I found it! this is where he is hiding! Mobius: You mean the historic hurricane of 2050? The official reports called it like... huge. like, way bigger than huge. like super huge. the winds were way fast. super huge fast. yeah, you're right, too bad they rediculously called it a category 8...

    The D&D thread

    When it comes between dual wielding and 2 handers, generally the rule is that in the early game dual wielding will outperform, midgame they equalize, and end game 2handers do better. The biggest reasons are A) when dual wielding, it takes a bonus action to get full use of your attacks and you...

    i've had kidney stones several times. they suck. generally whenever i get them i have to get checked into the hospital for 2-4 days and end up getting lithotripsy. the whole process is just awful. the first time i had them was by FAR the worst but i really feel like that was just because i...

    Loki

    they aren't time travellers, though they can be. loki didn't time travel, he just did something that the "sacred timeline" didn't allow for. the real issue is that loki and probably a whole bunch of people like him, broke off from the sacred timeline without even knowing it. the hannah barbara...

    Loki

    For what it's worth, it's pretty clear that the middle time lord is Kang the conqueror. In the animated Hannah Barbara explanation video he even looks like the actor they cast for Kang (who is slated to show up in the next antman and wasp movie). So that being said I think it's pretty clear...

    Love, Death & Robots

    with season 1, it felt like the stories were the star. the animation was obviously top notch, but it didn't NEED to be. with season 2, the stories all took a back seat to how advanced the animation was. it'd be nice if we could just get both going on in the same season... maybe 3 will deliver /shrug

    The Boys

    ackles is great. off camera he comes off as a supremely down to earth guy who is into the zeitgeist of nerd-dom. he's a pretty big comic book geek and he was the best actor on supernatural, except for maybe a couple of short lived guests like cain (timothy omundson) and the original death...

    It's been talked about in this thread already, but endgame (#4) transitioned from Conner to Duncan as the main protagonist. By this time the show had garnered a pretty strong following and the movies weren't really doing well. Unfortunately endgame didn't do that well either and that was...

    Thor: Love and Thunder (2021)

    for what it's worth, when guys are doing movies they generally shoot all the scenes where they have to be all muscly first. the actors take 3-6 months to bulk up and completely then right before filming they just completely dehydrate themselves. that is a HUGE part of what gives them that type...
