Lootboxes first. Then virtual currencies...

A great question of our times: Where will be The Tesla in 200 years? And the answer is "maybe starman will go check Voyager1?"

If it's the "standard" deal, then any character that first appeared in a stand-alone Spiderman story is out, unless the lawyers agree. Anyone that appeared in another comic, even if he/she/it is almost always involved with Peter is ok.

FTFY. The two reasons you don't remember your WoW gear are that you got a lot of them, but notably that none were so outside of the risk/reward ratio that they'd give you a "whoa" moment. People remember the Mana Stone for the same reason people now remember the Black Lotus for MtG.

It shouldn't, Orbit had contracted them for 9 books total (up from the original 3).

Love the double 4wall breaking with Cable. First with "Thanos... sorry, Cable" (Josh Brolin plays, of course, both), and then "Oooh dark... Are you from the DC?" (Brolin played Jonah Hex from DC... heck, I think he's still playing Hex in this movie...)

Yea, that was the last of the Falcon 9 Block 4 rockets. There's going to be a few more of the B4 launches, but they'll all be refurbish... sorry, flight proven rockets. Block 5 goes in service on the next launch (May 4th), and that one is supposed to be reusable at least 10 times with fast reuse...

Just finished The Space Barons, a good summary of the currently unfolding space rivalry between the big 4 billionaires (Bezos, Musk, Branson, Allen) that want to do what NASA isn't going to do: make man a spacefaring species. If you're interested in the topic, you probably know more or less...

Woops, sounds like they goofed (don't click if you really, really don't want massive spoilage) https://io9.gizmodo.com/the-marvel-cinematic-universes-thanos-origin-will-be-re-1825242897 The official blurb for the tie-in novel spoils stuff. Badly. It's supposed to come out in november, so it...

That's a common problem in conspiracy theorists. Believing in a conspiracy massively increases the chances you believe in others, because the source belief isn't from the conspiracy, it's from within yourself. Simply put: if you're stupid enough to believe in any conspiracy theory, you're...

I was starting to get worried, we didn't had an end of the world prediction for the year yet...

As an aside, it appears that Snow Crash is going to be developed as a show by Amazon.

And then you get Phase Space where the first high-resolution radar scan of Proxima Centauri breaks the simulation software...

The game ideas still look interesting, but the whole pvp/siege stuff means it's a pass for me.

Neckbeard confirmed; the guy is scared to lose "more than 10 years of items in there"... (with the comic drop of a massively gigantic pile of stuff, including round shields and whatnot, when he's blown up) The book i-R0k is not very good (and basically there for 1 chapter - the only role that...

What they seem to mean is a return to previous legendary model (one legendary, long quest to unlock).

Was going to see it in 3D, but friend checked and it's the usual computer conversion to 3D (maybe except for the all-CGI sequences which might have been rendered in 3D. Maybe). So we noped.

Yea. The thing is, it immediately felt absolutely and totally familiar, but I couldn't place it. Once I saw "from Excalibur", I could even picture the main scenes with Merlin again...

You've almost guessed correctly. The whole synching thing (which occurs TWICE in the book) is something that sounds cool on paper, and absolutely stupid and horrible on screen. So, how do you preserve the idea of having to run thru a movie as one of the trials? Well, you put them in a movie. And...

It's Über. They'll probably resume, then install an app to avoid driving anywhere where an official might spot them.

Friend of mine who was an early backer, with a "moderate" contribution got finally fed up, and has been trying to get out for 5 weeks now. The amount of delaying action is insane though. If you want your pledges back, don't expect to see them for months, if not ever... (pesky european law: for...

NASA chief explains why agency won’t buy a bunch of Falcon Heavy rockets So, they've got SLS, which means they're going to use it, dammit!

It's Uber. "This might interfere with our systems, so we'll disable it; it's cheaper than trying to integrate it".

But why? It was nice, peaceful, and I think I farmed lots of bixie drops. ... then Halloween happened.

Well, NASA got back a budget for education... maybe they should...

Anyone coming from the east has to remember the first time they came upon The Bridge in the Karanas...

?? indeed.

You still find that in the Discord for secret hunting in WoW. But they'll never hide game-important info ever again, I think.

He does it twice (the other is a distinct character). Oh, and just watch his new series where there IS a character named Dakota Krout. Just after a character named Elon Musk, founder of Space Y... (and no, it's not supposed to be the real Elon). I pretty much stopped at page 2 of the preview...

Obligatory DLC reference: Legendary News

There's more than a few screenshots in there that I would have attributed to EQ without a doubt.

That's mostly what I see here: "if it had been just a human driver, it wouldn't even have rated a notice in local news". But we're already holding machines to a higher standard than humans. Otherwise, what's the point of replacing the humans :)

That would be TL;DW you mean :) At the end, they're talking about AAA rumors: CCP is supposedly making a new MMO (hopefully better than Dust), there's the mystery MMO from Amazon & Smed, and the elephant in the china room: Magic The Gathering MMORPG... But those aren't for 3+ years, probably.

They've recruited a brand new team over the last year for an unannounced game. But zero info about what new game they're making. And yes, like you, after Titan, I'm 98% certain it won't be a MMO. Hopefully, they don't do a BR game.

Fuck! GET HIM BETA! STAT!

I watched this stream about the upcoming MMO and it's... depressing. #1: Ashes of Creation, Kickstarted AND microtransaction-fueled #2: Saga of Lucimia, kickstarted #3: Legends of Aria, crowdfunded #4: Life is Feudal, the MMO, failed on indiegogo, indie funded with a heaping of early access...

Given the amount of models, animations and stuff, it's either a playable race or a race you "disguise" yourself during questing, and the work done seems a bit too much for 15-30mn of quests.

What? The Monkey King with his "freeze everything except a couple boss" ray and his aoe dance makes every WQ easier...

In one interview, he credited his illness for his achievements; he said that if he had been able bodied and normal, he would have probably been a lazy fuck student.

Usually, if you don't make a profit from something, you shut it down. Earth & Beyond was shut down 2 years after launch because it was not profitable. I'm pretty sure Vanguard was profitable enough that it could be sustained for a long time. They simply cut costs enough to keep it viable at his...
