    Superman: Red Son

    I watched Red Son tonight. Was a lot better than Fantastic Four: First Steps which I watched early this morning. However I'm curious as to how much SJW manipulation went into this project. There was a lot of "men are evil" from Wonder Woman, the evil Superman clone going "America First!" was...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Finally watched this movie. It was probably the single dumbest movie I've watched in years. The 60's futuristic aesthetic was awesome. Felt like what a 50's comic would have viewed the future as being like, with the overwhelming optimism of the era. Flying cars, space travel, a "bubble" design...

    Dating

    She sounds almost exactly like the woman I was with for most of the 2010s. Great bod, great sex, super horny, huge nerd, submissive, needs a lot of alone time to deal with her issues, came over on the weekends. We were together on and off and were FWBs even when we were off. To the detriment of...

    Highlander

    The back half of Season 1 is good. The only time the show is truly not good is the majority of the first 12 episodes of S1 and the majority of S6's 13 episodes. Like ten out of each are subpar. The series starts weak and ends weak, with a ton of good the rest of the time. Adrian Paul had fully...

    The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    Doesn't matter, in Marvel movies, the women are all booked like 1980's Hulk Hogan Was hilarious when the Silver Surfer easily fought off the three dudes and then was basically even with Sue, I knew Marvel Hulkster Booking was alive and well. If you want to neuter a bad guy in Marvel, just send...

    Firefly

    You call the show stupid despite having never watched it, cool. It doesn't get amazing until about halfway through Season 2 when everything it put together up to that point clicks together and starts paying dividends. It's a bit of a teen drama at times but it's better than it has any right to...

    Firefly

    -Animated -No Whedon -This guy (who is totally entitled to his beliefs...on his own time) probably injecting tons of partisan politics into it. How's he gonna work with Adam Baldwin then? Kill off Jayne in episode 1? Show has a lot going against it. I could probably deal with two out of three...

    Firefly

    That's hilarious. Whenever I check out a movie from the library there's a 50/50 chance that it starts to have skip issues when it gets to a sex scene. I picked up Firefly not long ago and paid 2x as much for the blu-ray, mainly because they tend to resist scratching a lot better than DVDs. Just...

    Dating

    Holy shit, that's awesome. Almost every date I ever went on off of a dating app, the woman in person looked like 7 years older than her pictures (and when the 7 years in question are, say, 28 to 35, that might as well be 50 years). I don't see many women using this app, as a result. It'll weed...

    It's true, Bret pinned a lot of stuff on Goldberg that he shouldn't have. You have a responsibility to protect the other guy in the ring, but you also have a responsibility to protect yourself, especially against a green opponent. People always talk about Arquette, but at the time that it aired...

    Home Improvement

    Wish I could remember more details about the one I had that stopped working. It was basically a handheld floodlight, probably like 12000 lumens. All I know is I could light up the far side of a river that's roughly 200 feet wide. Used it to patrol said river a few years ago when I kept hearing...

    Home Improvement

    Anyone have advice on buying flashlights? I got an extremely powerful floodlight back in 2020 that just died off after several years (with minimal use, no less). I need to replace the big floodlight I had, and I'd like to also get two smaller flashlights that are powerful enough to cut through...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    This series has some real lookers in it. The Big Four are Leon, Claire, Chris, Jill. Has there ever been a game where all four of them were playable, or at least were all major characters together onscreen? Maybe RE6.

    Resident Evil Requiem

    Got to Leon getting the shotgun and fighting THE BEBEH as OSW would say. Major cliffhanger with Grace. How far into the game is that?

    Resident Evil Requiem

    The best advertising I've seen for why the Switch is worth a damn at this point. In the last few years I've seen quite a few people going on about the Switch 1 being the best system, who never play it portable and keep it in docked mode on the TV. Have to wonder what they're smoking. The only...

    Resident Evil Requiem

    RE8 is really good, more of a first person shooter than a survival horror game. First thing I've played since Bloodborne to really capture the Bloodborne vibe. It's a good thing to rent, borrow, or get from a library and have a decent weekend run. RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake are the other two REs...

    I was talking about having a soft spot for FF8. Well, FF12 is also really underrated. Lot of people dislike it because it's got different mechanics. Well, it's a very solid game on pretty much every level. Visuals are unique, sound is awesome (same composer as FFT), the gambit system is actually...

    Highlander

    As someone else said already, the main problem with the show is that it constantly mentions immortals getting "power increases" from their foes, but never explains how that actually works. At the end of season 3, Duncan defeats this really powerful menace after an entire story arc, and at that...

    Highlander

    The grainy black and white swordfight is near the beginning of Season 1. The first 60% or so of Season 1 is generally regarded as really bad, though the Mountain Men episode and the Die Hard ripoff episode are both fun enough. "Band of Brothers" is the episode where the show suddenly gets good...

    It's really egregious how Goldberg wasn't even looking as he threw the kick. Just a wild kick out into space, "he'll know what to do" As a Goldberg fan, I really wish we'd gotten Goldberg vs Warrior in WCW. Preferably in 1998 when it would have been huge and really mattered (but Hogan had to...

    Naw R-Type 3 was just ridiculous. The first level wasn't bad, pretty standard. Then it just puts the pedal to the medal. Level 2 is super hard but a kid with tenacity could get through it eventually due to the infinite continues and continuing from checkpoints. Good luck getting much further...

    Ryan Coogler's The X-Files

    And yeah, there's also this aspect. This show is already almost inevitably going to underperform, and they'll put the nail in the coffin by having the show preach about racial issues within the first couple of episodes. (Usually the first episode is really good to get people on board, then it's...

    Ryan Coogler's The X-Files

    Probably this, yes. It doesn't have to be "another crack in the foundation of the West", it's just somebody trying to cash in on an old show that was wildly successful. This'll probably last one season and then quietly go away, like so many other reboots ("24" is a good example because they did...

    Ryan Coogler's The X-Files

    I always thought The Powers That Be wanted all of us happy/complacent/distracted by entertainment media. "Panem et circenses" and all that. Given that Americans are some of the least-rebellious people of all time, it worked. This idea that they actually want us miserable is a new one to me, and...

    Gradius 3 is incredibly difficult. Did you play it on that new PS5 Gradius Collection that quietly dropped in August? That has the best version, the arcade version. If not I'd recommend picking that up and playing the other Gradiuses. If emulating, SNES has Space Megaforce (insanely good...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    What's this about? AI datacenters are delaying the PS6? I've been wondering why we haven't heard anything about it, since we're like a year away from Sony's usual seven-ish year system cycle being up. PS1 - Five years as their main system PS2 - Seven years PS3 - Six and a half years PS4 - Six...

    FF8 I'll always have a soft spot for. It came out the first week of High School. The characters going to what was basically a high school / military academy was something I could really relate to. ....unlike now, when every third fucking RPG takes place in a Japanese High School or equivalent...

    Nioh 3

    Are the DLCs worth playing in Nioh 1 or Nioh 2? I played through the DLCs in both Stranger of Paradise and Wo Long, and I kinda hated most of them. In both cases they had 3 DLCs and the first was pretty cool, only to fall off a cliff with the 2nd and 3rd. SoP had so much gear-flation that you...

    Xenoblade 2: Come for the huge particle effects and numbers obscuring everything, stay for the constant yelling clips from all of the characters all at once as you have 8 characters acting in battles.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Rebirth is so, so much better than Remake. I say this as a big Midgar fan who wished the original had done more with it (before FF7 came out, I thought the entire game took place in Midgar, and was disappointed when we left after five hours and never saw the upper level or 80% of the overall...

    I picked the electric bird at the beginning instead of the Brute. Got a couple hours in and have yet to see another Brute spirit, they're all just Feral. Considered starting over, but it probably isn't necessary.

    I spent quite a bit of time duping items in Elden Ring. Do multiplayer, drop a bunch of things, then reload a cloud save and do it again. Was able to get a massive amount of souls and two of every major DLC weapon. Was awesome. FF12 is IMO a much better game than FF9. FF12 has MMORPG style...

    Nioh 3

    Feels like Nioh 2 enemies track you way more than Nioh 1. Like the first couple bosses would take these giant swings, hesitate, and actually rotate following my character all the way around before they slammed the attack. It's a ridiculous amount of tracking. I'm guessing you're supposed to rely...

    What's a good weapon to main in Nioh 2? And what Guardian Spirit to take at the beginning? It has some serious "paralysis by analysis" at the beginning, giving you 11 weapons to pick from and 3 Guardian Spirits. What is this, Pokemon? I really wanted to try the Spear in one of these, and Low...

    I always do this. Always. Then I end up not using the consumables, or maybe using a few of the healing ones towards the end, never anywhere near all of them. There was one exception to all of this: Lies of P. The final boss was so much tougher than the rest of the game (and you can't summon for...

    Nioh 3 has summons? Like Elden Ring ashes? Is that a thing in Nioh 2 as well, because Nioh 1 sure didn't, har. When playing Nioh 3's demo I used the blue phantoms a couple times for tough spots, that was a welcome assist and kinda like a summon. Nioh 3 is getting SUPER good reviews. People...

    Gunther is getting the push I was hoping would go to Rex Steiner (who inexplicably got renamed Bron Breakker). In Highlander terms, he basically got the Quickenings of Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles. Outside of retiring Austin/Rock/Roman/Brock I don't know that there's any bigger set of...
