    The Marvels (2023)

    There's always levels of bad. We just like to exaggerate sometimes as things move in and out of "normal shitty" to "we fucking hate everything about it right now". Case in point, when everyone tries to claim Captain Marvel was the worst of the pre Endgame Marvel movies...Thor 2 exists. When...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    When you win your fantasy week after a couple catches by Keenan Allen midway through the 4th, and the Derwin James pick towards the end. Sad thing is if Bears kick XP after that last TD or throw even a couple checkdowns with 3 timeouts at the very end instead of kneeling on it I would have...

    NHL 2023-2024 Season - Arizona Stays Homeless

    Whatever the Caps do this year, they should leave Ovechkin/Strome/Wilson intact as the top line.

    NHL 2023-2024 Season - Arizona Stays Homeless

    A part of me feels for Sharks fans, b/c for a long time us Caps fans viewed them as the Caps of the West...so many expectations during the Thornton/Pavelski/Burns/etc years, but never reaching it. Then we managed to win a Cup, and their roster kind of got blown up completely. Unlike some...

    NHL 2023-2024 Season - Arizona Stays Homeless

    On the bright side, I think Leonsis actually got a good GM for the Caps, whereas the Wizards were stuck with shit one for years and years. Reload time will depend on how guys like McMichael and Lapierre (also Miro) develop, also how some of these trades GMBM has made to get a little younger in...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Seems weird to think of wings/burger from Chik-Fil-A. Not sure worth the drive.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    In OG, you can't access the snowboard game until after you actually do it to get to the glacier. Which is after City of the Ancients...where Rebirth supposedly ends.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Ooooh. I like the idea of a whip class. But I was mainly just talking about what they said regarding the Viper class.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Might be reading too much into it, as the job is said to be used by hunters from the New World, and you can channel their ancient power or some such...not sure that'll be related to the primals (at least not the ones we're used to). Also while the weapon is a nod to Zidane, they did make a...

    Assuming he doesn't completely fall off a cliff, 3 years should be enough time. Even 30-35 this year really puts it well within reach with 2 years to go. Gotta actually finally score this year, though. Maybe Father Time finally taking over

    It could be a long, ugly year. Too late to sell anything off for anything worthwhile, too.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    How the fuck do their warp drives and transporters actually work in the first place? Why are shields only as strong as the plot needs them to be in every single piece of star trek fiction that exists...etc, etc, etc. I agree some of that stuff stretched any kind of even "relative to this...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    If the original point we seemed to be discussing was who was more responsible for Last Jedi being shit, the guy who made it, or the guy who actually left some possibilities for it not to be shit...that's kind of what I'm getting at. Also again, the point has always been that Force Awakens was...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    It's fucking Star Trek, how critical of an eye should I be using? Compared to the 2 follow ups, the first one was a much better film imo. It also, again, opened up some interesting ways they could take a reboot in different directions from the original...which he or decision makers above him...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Ironically have almost the same feelings for the Star Trek reboot set of movies as the sequel trilogy. First one wasn't that bad, everything after was complete shit. He just only has himself to blame for Star Trek. Rian Johnson just did a much better job of shitting up the sequel trilogy than...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I can agree with most of this take. Kylo never comes off as really menacing in the slightest, more spoiled brat. Then again, the mask he wore was even worse than his face, imo.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Again, I don't care so much whether they were JJ mystery boxes or not, Rian just did basically the worst things he could with any of them, which was basically pretty much ignoring or discarding any of them. To say he set up Rey as a supreme character is exaggerating, Rian dialed that shit up to...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I don't care about what bad stuff ended up getting made worse later, TFA actually had some potential plot points that they could have built something semi interesting out of. Whole thing went to shit once Last Jedi just left nothing redeemable in the slightest.

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    I can sort of understand that viewpoint, but really when trying to introduce new characters, I could completely get why they'd want Luke to mainly be a background character in the initial movie of the new trilogy. Given all the shit that was set up for Rian to do something with in Last Jedi...

    Star Wars general purpose movie stuff

    Although I thought Ford was mainly on board to have the character killed off? Granted, I don't think JJ did great with TFA, but he at least set up potential interesting plot threads to go forward. Nothing he did to Luke was bad in itself. He just wasn't an active part of first movie. Rian...

    DOTA 2

    Had no idea there was some DOTA peeps on these boards. Never played a single game, but got into watching it a lot over the last year or so. Has the win rate always been slanted Radiant/Dire side? Though obviously not this much, I'm assuming.

    They have also said they want to start coming up with more unique classes not having them all based on previous/older FF class types.

    Shit was just depressing. Ironically, in my biggest $ fantasy league my opponent played the Commanders D. Can't make this up.

    Ahsoka

    I think this was more the lead in to the next Mando season, which will be the lead in to Filoni movie (presumably big Thrawn conflict)

    Ahsoka

    I think they'll have to recast, if they really want whatever story they were going for to have some meat to it. Hard to pull off, though.

    Ahsoka

    This. On one hand, I don't mind them not introducing some new Bigger Bad from the Baylan side quest in the finale to steal Thrawn return thunder...on the other, kinda shitty to leave that a cliffhanger. Also a little weird for Shin to get left by him only for her to not go back to Thrawn...

    It's because too many casual fans ignore this when it goes on every play and when they actually have an intelligent former O linemen announcer who explains it, but want to believe it's only it's because the refs help out the Chiefs (or Dallas, or the Patriots, or whoever the current conspiracy...

    Need to remind her that she's clearly just trying to boost/save her music career by dating the best TE in the NFL and one of the best TE's of all time (It's still Gronk, he's not there yet).

    You're going too deep, when the simple answer is the Bears and Jets (at least with Zach Wilson) are not very good.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    I'm super shocked a team that's 67-17 with Mahomes as a starter managed to beat the Bears and Zach Wilson led Jets in consecutive weeks (kinda shitty to Zach Wilson, other than the fumble he wasn't that bad tonight, but yeah).
