I watched a bunch of this over lunch today and the bit he did on Louis CK blowing his load on his stomach had me actually crying at my desk. I give Netflix grudging kudos for this special, because it was clearly one of the first things in recent memory put up that has any kind of...

I added this to my bottomless unplayed game list in Steam as well, sight unseen, purely based on reviews and the feel that it has shades of Starsector and Darkest Dungeon. Will try out this weekend. Still haven't been able to come to grips with Starsector yet. I hate getting older, my...

Man Joel Edgerton has his dick in everything of late. He co-wrote that too. Also, as an aside, that kid needs to stop missing leg day. If he's supposed to be Muad'dib (is he?) he needs some meat. I just started Book 2. I've been away from the series for a while, and away from Sci-Fi for...

Gods of Egypt would also like a word with you.

Ditto. Handsome hoverboard (Edit - rocket boots, right) wolf-alien warrior though. COME ON. TOO GOOD TO FAIL. I want to know what part of the Wachowski's transition this disaster of a movie speaks to? Cloud Atlas was a pretentious, convoluted mess as well. Hated it like disease - there...

Okay, as 50-ish year old, this franchise is, of course, special to me. My thoughts echo all that was said on the last several pages, and well really, for the last couple of decades. But I would still watch and enjoy if they could just find it in themselves to make A GOOD FUCKING MOVIE. It is...

So I'm done with this league now - I deleted my level 80 ED/Contagion character to preserve slots. Kept the King Cyclone guy though, of course. So I moved on last night to load up Last Epoch, and what is the first thing I did? Created a cyclone-equivalent character. BWahahahahahaha. I have...

lol truth - they are basically turning minions into ranged attack build clear speed/effectiveness. And here we sit with melee changes being Cyclone or GTFO and stick your multistrike up your bunghole. But, moving on, nothing to see here. Seriously, if they nerf the shit out of Cyclone (and I...

Yeah, hate on it if you want, but there is no question that the first movie is truly iconic. You can really tell how iconic by the extent of influence it had on later movies with the bullet-time, slo-mo fighting stuff. Keanu was so bad he was good, how can we not love that guy? I was going to...

The Endless is that low budget sci-fi indie gem that makes Netflix/any extensive movie database worthwhile - then you realize you have seen them all and only shit remains. Great concept incredibly well done, and I have not yet seen the aforementioned sister movie which centers on the two guys...

I agree with almost all of this. However, I have a couple of games calling my name (Outward, KingdomCome Deliverance, Last Epoch to name a few, and maybe Remnant now) so I am thinking I do another game starting this week and by the time I am done the new League will be a couple weeks in and I...

Tower defense, one of my least favorite genres. The Adventures of Van Helsing 2 opened with a big Tower Defense section and I noped and uninstalled it immediately - what I had to do in 1 was already too much and the second game STARTED with it. ! suppose I could just ignore it and enjoy the...

Heeeeeeeeey, who's got two thumbs and finally killed Shaper? This guy! In retrospect, the fight is pretty easy, it is just understanding the mechanics and having enough dps so that the arena is not filled with floor trash. I did an attempt last week on Standard as I was screwing around with a...

Does anyone outside of a small niche market give two shits about this IP anymore? People still cream in their pants at the release of WoW classic, but I think that nostalgia fades quickly outside of a (I also think relatively small) core audience. I went back to EQ a couple of years ago and...

So I just recently read all Lovecraft's work, and in retrospect you can see his influence through SO MUCH horror entertainment. Clearly the Annihilation series was greatly influenced by this story, but the guy took it to more modern technical places with all the genetic mixing and he also...

Right. I have Option 4 (all 5 follow-ups to Dune, I am pleasantly surprised to say, not just 4 as previously noted) on my bookshelf. Ill be honest, I am not sure how far I made it in the past. Right now I am struggling to finish reading the major works of HP Lovecraft (it gets pretty fucking...

The series itself generally fades as the scope of the story expands. With the first book, its focus exclusively on Dune itself makes it a little more accessible to the masses. It gets freaky from there. I always run out of steam after a couple of books. I have tried several times. I have...

Oswald was starting to become a real fucking SJW cuck but this puts a little currency back into his wallet for me. I've enjoyed his comedy over the years, it is a little more cerebral and literary by times, but I have enjoyed it for the most part. His presence on MST3000 was token, because he...

Because, in my personal opinion, D2 represents the pinnacle of loot system design of any ARPG - and loot is why I play. The combination of random drops with boss runs. Set items. Runewords. I loved it all. I am such an ARPG loot nerd that I used to keep track of the rare/legendary/set...

Until that fucking stealth section. That game went from one of the best at the time to one of the worst.

It is, quite literally, just a no-trade league with a separate leaderboard. You get lots of dopes asking for increased drop rates and the like, but it was released by GGG primarily because there was a VERY popular independent (of GGG) movement tracking rankings of people who did not trade...

I read Bandwagon's summary as was like - Yeah, no, that sounds stupid. But that trailer looks hilarious. I look at these movies like a series of funny meme moments rather than a cohesive whole, so I look forward to clips of the best parts. I still haven't brought myself to watch Sausage...

SSF is okay as long as you don't mind the grind. I have never traded lo' these many years, and as a result tend to quit occasionally in frustration and come back fresh in weeks/months. I have played 91 cyclone and 80 ED/Cont builds this league and it has not been bad. Also, as a side note, it...

Just to illustrate what a front-line, A+ gamer I have become in my dotage, I did not realize I had to put minions into the buildings to gain the benefit until I watched a recent review. For some reason I just thought they were primarily global passives and just plowed on. Yeah, I am the...

Spawning for the first time as a Dark Elf in Innoruk, immediately falling into the water and drowning and then spawning outside in the dark forest, not knowing where I was, what was going on. But in awe that I was in a living, breathing 3D world populated by other players as well as NPCs. It...

I love Reservoir Dogs but it was almost ruined by Tim Roth for me - I hate that whiny little shit. I know it's all personal perspective but Roth kills movies for me. On the other hand, I have a special place in my heart for Michael Madsen who is a B- to C actor at best but is always great in a...

Dammit I even saw that and didn't bother to edit it, and you made me regret it.

How in the fuck is Hillary Swank in this movie? Did she get hooked on meth and need a paycheck? And how can this not be a 99% versus 1% typical schlock. Revenge against the rich. Cathartic perhaps, but pretty cliche. Will fastforward on Netflix for the death scenes.

Yeah I tried to connect it like that, but that seems like such empty, sorry revenge compared to what she did to him. Just didn't seem like enough. Edit - like he lost his "kid" and wife in the story, easy parallel. But what do the two/three guys represent? He only had one guy to be "mad" at...

Gah I am so torn. This actually looks like it might be good, but DeNiro has turned into such a fucking cocknozzle that I am finding it difficult to be excited about seeing him in a good movie. So challenge accepted, Scorsese - make a good movie and I may even respect DeNiro in a good role.

Necromantic post. Rather than put this in the Netflix thread, I thought I would dig up the grave of this thread. I watched this over the weekend and really liked it. I went in fully expecting to fats forward most of it, but it drew me in. I love Jake, and Adams is haaaaaawt when she's all...

Now THIS looks interesting. Some of the shots in the trailer are a little too "artsy" for my tastes as inclusion in a horror movie, but I am definitely interested in this one.

Please elaborate because on the face of it, this seems especially retarded. But I may be confused as to the message here.

Welp, I am totally playing this over the weekend. Take my money.jpg. I've read many of the reviews, and I know what to expect. But the potential good outweighs the potential bad for me. The launch DLC comment is a little concerning, but I am in regardless. One review talked about the...

So Starbuck is officially typecast now for low budget Sci-fi? Is it her constant angry pursing of the lips that limits her? I dunno, she seems okay but is really cashing some shit movie/show checks. Her husband/boyfriend in the trailer is, in my opinion, the single worst actor of all time...

I love how the hook in the trailer is "Trump campaign and Brexit" and then the doc is really about Silicon Valley Giants ruling the world with your information. Well done! Also, it is too late, people. Cry to the heavens all you want, have as many hearings as you want, every single person has...

I only liked TNG - I lived in Halifax one summer and my roommate and I smoked dope, drank earl grey tea (no joke) and watched syndicated TNG every single day. Fond memories. They had really great points on how anyone who only gets the fandom of TNG will never understand the true character of...

I think this role was literally made for him. Otherwise I hate his face. And what is wrong with not liking comedies? I did earlier in my life but I can't stomach them anymore. I prefer my entertainment impactful, and if not at the very least scary/gory/exciting. I find most comedies more...

...or are, or will be soon, massive weebs.

I fucking hate comedies as a whole but this looks interesting. This and that Bill Murray zombie movie may be my comedic intake for 2019.
