The baby talk business with Charlotte in the Trials of Mana demo is where I noped the fuck out. Was looking for something to play after Ff7 remake but now I'm back to mindlessly wrecking stuff in Borderlands

Ahsoka's character arc throughout Clone Wars and Rebels is probably the best written arc of any character in the entire franchise. It is going to be great to see how she reacts to Order 66 and how that sets her up to fully take on the role of orchestrating early Rebel cels.

I get the distinct impression they intended the show to come back earlier in the year and hence the Superb Owl episode would have been more timely.

Watched it and I liked the overall setting quite a bit. The story went to pretty predictable places, but it was refreshing that the main character wasn't some messiah or something (I half expected him to manifest cold powers at a critical moment). I do think Robbie Amell is a better actor than...

Well Apocalypse had a better "Phoenix" scene than Dark Phoenix did, so that tracks. The main downfall from the Apoc version is the over acting of Xavier with "RELEASE YO POWAH!!"

My company announced a global salary reduction of 20% as a result of COVID and economic effects. I suspect mine wont be the only 'white collar' type job that faces this.

Most actors are short as hell. Its a selection effect as much as anything as the super tall athletic types aren't usually theater geeks. Then you get aberrations like Chrisopher Lee at 6'5" and they look gigantic.

They do make a point of having that dog be center frame though, its not subtle at all.

Who else has a white collar job that has seen a marked increase in overall efficiency since everyone started working from home? While you have the people with kids who are trying to balance that with their home office situation you also have people who have gained 2 productive hours in each...

Part of what makes Clone Wars so good is the anthology nature of the stories which vary in scope and tone.

I finished it this AM... and I really REALLY wanna log into FFXIV right now...

Jesus fucking Christ give Filoni a movie already. The intro to this was just about perfect.

It seems that they will be not making as many PS5s for 'launch' as they did PS3s back in the day. Claims are not so only manufacturing issues during the apocalypse but also fear that the price is just too high for people to jump onboard with Day One.

This may be done in post that is not reflected in the pic.

I went to see the original film back when I was a kid and without having read the book. We walked out of that theater so staggeringly confused it was comical. I can now appreciate the Lunch vision for what it is, but that theatrical cut was a mess for the uninitiated.

Of course the villain is still very white and male.

No spoilers but this story is still the best Final Fantasy ever. This just cements that.

I love that we are a terrorist cell that uses public transport. Well that and people don't seem to react to the 7 foot tall muscled dude with a minigun where his arm should be.

Just started playing and still in the part covered by the demo so far. A bit more info in the final version with respect to controls and abilities etc and an additional cutscene I dont recall from the demo. I did get a kick when, after a fight, Barret went 'dun-da-da dun dun dun-ta-dun' aka...

Oh lord. Joel McHale is the perfect guy for this.

Stop and Shop has changed to only allow a small number of people into the store at one time. Masks are required, gloves are encouraged. Shopping aisles are now one-way and passing in the aisle is discouraged. They've eliminated the usual checkout lanes and there is only one checkout queue...

Yeah I just got the 'your pre-order delivery date has changed' email from them. Not surprising but very impersonal. Glad they posted elsewhere as well.

I watched some matches and I was not terribly impressed. I guess I like the cartoony over-the-top violence of OverWatch rather than something like this which seems far too patient.

If a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel is a launch title I would be a first day adopter. If not I'm thinking maybe wait for the inevitable slightly nicer version a year later.

DualSense marks a radical departure from our previous controller offerings The have a very curious definition of 'radical'

Just got around to looking these changes over. Much of it seems very 'meh'. As an Arcane Mage I don't miss using Fireblast or Frostbolt and having them around again seems like it just means there will be extra buttons on my bar that I can hit whenever I'm hit with a counterspell-ability...so I...

Science! (Plus some nice temporary buffs you can get by doing it)

That doesn't sound like a game that is supposed to be released in a month...

I dunno why but I'm amusing myself greatly just running around blowing things up with Moze. I think I'd rather be playing some new MMO, but there's a certain zen quality to mass murdering mayhem and discovering interesting quirks about the legendary guns and how they can be useful in different...

https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/coronavirus-prompts-vermont-to-order-costco-target-to-stop-sale-of-non-essential-items I understand their argument, but this seems like an odd move to make.

Been playing the new Lovecraftian DLC and it's pretty good. The new enemy types are pretty slick and the storyline / antagonists are actually much better than the main game's plot. That was actually true of the last DLC as well so it's clear they have writers who know what they are...

Right now would be the perfect time to release a new MMO... Me and my friends are really jonesin for good old fashioned online socializing

The Reapers, as a bunch of bladed tentacle worms, really did not look super friendly. I'm gonna guess they aren't going to be super happy with getting prank-called like that. La Sirena seems to be much more than a stock-average freighter. It has phasers and photon torpedos for fucks sake, how...

https://www.boredpanda.com/man-tested-positive-covid-19-coronavirus-describe-symptoms/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic This was a very difficult account to read. Obviously not everyone is going to have a reaction like this, but this doesn't seem like 'a cold'.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/24/magazine/coronavirus-family.html It's a long-ish read but I had been looking for such a 1st-person account of what it's like to have a non-life-threatening case of the COVID. Bottom-line being that it looks pretty damn awful and long lasting even if you...

The whole movie was, supposedly, based on the director's (Dan Scanlon) relationship with his brother after his father died when he was very young. So the core story about the younger brother seeing the older as his surrogate 'dad' was the story he wanted to tell. The setting and all the...

There also seemed to be a side plot about the magical creatures restoring themselves after being exposed to the magic staff. This wasn't fully developed though and I'm not sure if it was something that was meant to bigger and got cut down or what.

Premise of movie : Being a wizard is hard so we started using electricity and gas. Protagonist: Goes from level 1 to level 18 and is able to reshape reality in a single day.

It was decent. I feel large parts of the plot were telegraphed a bit much, but that was okay. Loads of little Easter eggs hidden in the background.
