    They are, somewhat transparently, moving more and more towards a direct clone of PoE. They started trying new, different stuff, but obvious recent changes are obvious. Couple of real problems I forgot to mention: (1) No mana pots - it is all regen. It gets really fucking annoying in long...

    Path of Exile

    Well, trash me as you may, but I think Chris Wilson is officially out of touch with his game now. The GDC presentation showcased how GGG is chasing quick returns on quick turnaround leagues. I don't have a problem with their business model aside from the speed meta is not necessarily my thing...

    I was not a fan of the game all through Alpha, but it is starting to come together. The passive progression is meh but I've heard they are going to implement something more novel later. I appreciate how they have different progression after level 20 to specialize your character. I also like...

    Battle Brothers

    I frighteningly resemble this. I bought it on sale sometime last year, maybe played an hour or two. One of those games I WANT to play but never get around to doing so. I watched a couple of videos - spears are front line melee kings are they not?

    I kickstarted this game, so I am looking forward to it finally being fleshed out. I realized I am not one to kickstart games, because I have a hard time seeing the forest for the trees at the start.

    Path of Exile

    Perfect timing for this Flashback - I am done with the league (not challenge done - only at 21, just yawn done), and just under 2 weeks to refresh on other games and then jump into the event will be great. I am going to run with Storm Brand again. I liked worb but after doing BV for a couple...

    Pagan Online - ARPG from the Creator of World of Tanks

    I fucking hate this game right now. It looks good, it feels decent to play control-wise, but the amount of knockdown effects early in the game is incredibly frustrating to me. Also trying to avoid these effects seems moot, since you dodge behind a mob and still get hit most of the time. I...

    Path of Exile

    The best I can do is an hour an act on average (Act 9 is a lot faster but often 3 is slower) because my OCD will not allow me to skip side quests. I keep trying, but I always do them. So I am a solid 9 hours. A Racer, I am not.

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)

    Well, that trailer was certainly pants-raising. So 17 titans, superpowered moves, with apocalyptic death throes - there ain't going to be much left even after Godzilla wins. Dayum. Looks awesome.

    Gemini Man (2019)

    You have to assume the CGI in the trailer will be improved in the movie, but holy shit that is some of the worst. That motorcycle falling off the wall bit could have been done better by a high school kid, not even mentioning ALL the Fresh Prince facial nightmares. I get this arrogant - I am so...

    Hades (Supergiant Games)

    For some reason I don't like their games. I have tried Bastion about 6 times and just can't stick with it. This just looks like more of the same to me. One man's garbage is someone else's treasure and all that.

    Path of Exile

    There was some rumors of this a while ago, tied to chance of getting loot, kind of like the seed number in the old Titan Quest days. But there is a counter rumor that if this did exist, it was fixed. So supposedly the answer to your question is NO, but I don't think anyone knows definitively...

    Path of Exile

    I rolled up a Winter Orb elementalist just to see what all the fuss is about. Fun! I actually liked BV, but got annoyed with the mechanic, and the faster power-up with Worb helps a ton. It had a slow spot through about Act 5 and 6 but then started to dominate again, even with shit gear. It...

    Avengers: Endgame (2019)

    I cannot put into words why I hated Civil War. Only Avengers movie I turned off before finishing. I dunno - may have been I thought the underlying premise was too ridiculous for an entire movie. Avenger's Infinity War was the best superhero movie I have seen in my life, however, so I look...

    Path of Exile

    Yeah, melee needs as much help on the defense/survivability side as the attack side. MS Jugg works because of high defense, high life on hit, high life and one billion balls hitting the mobs chin per second. Half the issue is clearly surviving while (1) standing still, (2) in close proximity...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Martin has already sold out to a terrible clicker mobile game, it would be nice if he actually gave the license to a developer that could actually make a good game as well. One can hope.

    Mortal Engines (2018)

    Nice to see Clint Eastwood got a final role after The Mule - he looks good as the zombie cyborg Dad. (Edit - my comedy timing is probably off as this most likely came out before The Mule. Whatever man). Just kidding, I love Eastwood. I wish he would live forever, for real. I will watch this...

    Hellboy (2019)

    Jesus, yeah, this stuff is hilarious in a cringy way. He's gone full Randy Quaid. You don't go full Randy Quaid. Also that Cronos movie is about 0.1% from being qualified to be on RLM's Best of the Worst. Also, I have no idea how I have never heard of this movie because I was it's core...

    The Lion King (2019)

    This. That photographed black hole could come and swallow everything that is Disney from our reality and we would all be better for it. We need to start pulling up some of Walt Disney's especially egregious past and posting it everywhere again. If some fucking Nascar racer can have an...

    I guess it would if they weren't all primarily white. I was going to actually say this is going to make me sound accent-ist. I can't really tell the diff between the NZ or Australian accent, that is true. I wish I could do a good accent, I think it is HILARIOUS when people can do accents...

    Jesus I know this is going to seem dumb, but Wilson sounds EXACTLY like Ziggy-D. Are they related? Their voices are almost identical. Not like all NZers sound the same (although they do sorta hahahaahah, but seriously...)

    Joker (2019)

    Fuck me running, sideways. The media and all this shit cannot die fast enough. Edit - I know I am doing exactly what I shouldn't, which is actually react to this completely empty bullshit, but at some point the dam has to burst. Slaanesh69 just wants to choke a bitch.

    Joker (2019)

    Phoenix is undeniably a great character actor, but what the heck is this movie going to be? I will have to say that is the way to do a teaser trailer, whet your appetite with the lead actor but don't reveal much in the way of story. Intrigued.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Underrated - Constantine and the original Silent Hill movie. Two of my all time favorites, subjective as it is. Will rewatch regularly. Overrated - Black Panther. Bitch, please.

    Path of Exile

    I tried the PS4 version briefly. It sure looks great on the big screen. I want to like it - but since I am an older man, controllers are an enigma to me and it would take some getting used to. I dealt with it to play splitscreen Terraria with my kid, but it takes a while. However, I think my...

    I am clearly an idiot and cannot figure out how to move previously placed memories without moving them to the queue. Will have to google. Edit, nm figured it out. I'm still an idiot.

    Path of Exile

    Am I crazy or did I misunderstand - if you transfer them out to your queue once they are full of mods, they lose all the mods except those they rolled when created. I think. I just did like 3 hours in the Nexus and that was the premise I was going with but apparently I did not read the warning...

    Borderlands 3

    I am obviously old school and a little more in the minority here in that I enjoyed 1 far more than 2. I've given 2 several chances, and finished the story once, but it never gripped me like 1. I played through 1 with every character several times and never got bored. It may have been the...

    The Netflix Thread

    Steve Carrell - what are you doing. I love you so much, you are like the funniest guy. Why do you want to be a eunuch? How will your role be anything but Captain Cuck on this morning show. So sad! Also - Toxic Labor with Oprah. Sheesh, sign me up. Can't miss TV right there.

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    The game that is there is fantastic and I still have lingering high hopes. However, that game changed very little for, what, well over a year, maybe two. Unless they start adding content, it is not worth the old sticker price let alone the new - there was 4-5 hours on the outside in Alpha...

    When Zana gave me her first shaped map mission (T4) she, of course, picked one of the two T4 maps I had not completed yet. I am now level 88, just had all my gems roll over 20, I am about 65 on my Atlas, and do you think I have seen one of those fucking maps yet? I also have yet to see a map...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    My opinion - 1 was a gun action movie masterpiece. 2 was somewhat sub par in comparison but on second viewing I enjoyed it a little more. The trailer for 3 made me moist though. I expect serious carnage.

    Path of Exile

    I resemble this as well, and I've been around since Open Beta. I am pushing 50 so reflexes are out the door - which is why I bemoan the downfall of melee; I want to facetank and win lol - if I find the right gear for this MS Jugg I think it may be my last chance. And, yeah, the min/max in this...

    Just smash the Steam controller before ever using it - one of my few regret purchases. The track pad instead of a stick is its biggest flaw, that fucking thing is useless.

    Triple Frontier (2019)

    Hunnam needs to stop being such a fucking Hipster and hire a real acting coach. He is close, but he's got that horrible and ridiculous swagger in everything he does that just makes him cringy when he is on screen for too long. I like him, but he's got a way to go. On point, I plan on watching...

    Path of Exile

    I've played this game since forever, and I thought this was just the first time I got bit by the crappy RNG bug with the map drops. I don't generally trade, and at level 86 I have yet to complete a tier beyond 2. I have only had 2 types of T7 maps drop, and 3 of T6. It has been incredibly...

    Triple Frontier (2019)

    Hold the Dark was exactly the same. For the first 60-70% the movie is awesome - dark, slow paced, tense, then it just ups and has a stroke and turns to shit. Netflix, you are so close, you can do it!

    Doom: Annihilation

    Remember the follow-up movies to Starship Troopers? The original was clearly campy on purpose, but a classic all the same. The follow-ups were all low budget, high school film club movies that only tarnished the name. This seems like a carbon copy of that experience. This movie looks to be...
