    Deus Ex Remastered

    Never played Deus Ex, always wanted to. It's very dated now and I can't really justify playing it over all of the other 200 things on the list, and I was really hoping it'd get a sharp remaster at some point. ...so they blew it?

    One Battle After Another (2025)

    Is it an Orange Man Bad movie?

    New movies that dont deserve their own thread.

    https://www.unilad.com/film-and-tv/news/ana-de-armas-sydney-sweeney-eden-836817-20240917 So wait a minute... They had Ana de Armas and Sydney Sweeney for a movie that has a "crazy threesomes" in it... ...and it turns out the "crazy threesomes" aren't involving the two of them. It's Ana and...

    Depression

    Story time, don't know if this will help or anything, it's not really intended to, only you can help you, and the beginning of that is to stop wallowing. All this wallowing isn't going to solve anything and it's going to keep you swimming in circles in your head. What you said here is basically...

    The Social Reckoning (2026)

    I love "quick fire dialogue between snarky characters"! It's often found in movies with my other favorite thing, "immediately follow every emotional beat with a quirky joke so you don't have to actually stop and process any feelings" Looking forward to not seeing this!

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    I'd just like to get that castle battle from the top screenshot on the case, and maybe an optional uberboss fight with Duma (since his sprite was finished and he's in the game's code). Alas, I doubt either of these things are going to be forthcoming. Wish remakes would be used as an opportunity...

    Drugs to steer clear of

    This is what needs to happen, yes. Unfortunately, all of them will probably get swept up. Maybe not though, I think RFK was specific about 7OH being the issue. Extract powder capsules (the "Gold" ones that are typically two to a pack and like $10 a dose) are really potent/nice and could...

    Playstation 5

    Trying Call of Duty Black Ops 6 (along with Modern Warfare 2019). Thoughts: I like MW2019 a lot, looks incredible and feels like an old-school COD. Is this new MW trilogy supposed to be a remake/reimagining of the first MW trilogy back in the day, or sequels? Might as well have called them...

    Final Fantasy Tactics - The Ivalice Chronicles

    This having cut content added back in is the main thing making me interested in maybe actually getting it at some point. Wondering what content that's referring to though. Things that were in the Japanese version, probably, nothing huge, but we'll see. There are screenshots on the back of the...

    Drugs to steer clear of

    Yeah, that's Kratom powder. It's an entirely different world from 7OH, which is more like a synthesized extract. This distinction really needs to be drawn, because nobody seems to. Kratom powder is benign and helps people get off of stronger drugs. 7OH is more like a Limitless pill that makes...

    Drugs to steer clear of

    Latest update, I managed to fully kick the habit and have pretty much gotten back to normal. All the cold turkey attempts failed, so I switched to a wean method and very slowly weaned off of the stuff. Still insane to me that something this addictive is sold in stores. I've come off of...

    Playstation 5

    Advanced Warfare is criminally underrated IMO. Probably my favorite of the 2010's CODs besides World War 2. CODs might be ridiculous in terms of hard drive space, but they sure make good use of that space. Their visual fidelity always feels top-tier for any given year and they make other...

    Alien: Earth

    Worst to best: -Alien vs Predator Requiem -Alien Resurrection -Alien vs Predator -Alien Earth -Alien 3 -Prometheus -Alien Romulus -Alien Covenant -Alien -Aliens Only one I'm not sure of is Alien Earth's placement. Sometimes it's a lot better than Alien 3, sometimes it isn't. Not exactly a high...

    Playstation 5

    Yeah, this is what happened to me with Modern Warfare 1 (the new one). I tried a few years ago, I think at @Regime behest, but I couldn't get the game to install right or something like that. I finally decided to give it another shot this week and actually managed to get it installed and...

    What are you playing?

    Yeah, I think they're up to like the 9th Trails game at this point. In a few months when the next one comes out, the U.S. will at last officially be up to where Japan is with the series. When the first one came out here, I think Japan was about to get the 5th one. The series takes place on one...

    What are you playing?

    Anyone playing Trails in the Sky? While I'm not generally into anime aesthetic games at this point, friend got me the remake so I'm playing it. Never played any of the Trails games, but I've heard they're the great traditional RPG series of the 2010's+ in the mold of your Suikodens and Grandias...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Another thing about the 10,000 BC movie that I forgot to mention: When they're showing the three Great Pyramids being constructed by the slave legions and elephants while the Atlanteans oversee it, there is a giant gold point installed at the apex of one of them to turn it into a sharply-pointed...

    The fuck does all this mean? I get Modern Warfare II on disc, I install Modern Warfare II, I patch Modern Warfare II, and now I go through that platform to install the Modern Warfare II Launcher. The hell is a "premium game sold separately"? What did I actually buy? Why are games all retarded...

    Elder Scrolls VI

    Well, unless Bethesda issues a "the intern who runs our Twitter posted something inappropriate and inaccurate and has been fired" type statement, they just lost whatever interest I still had in Elder Scrolls 6. Nothing was lost, Bethesda sucks now anyway. Still have to play Skyrim, but I...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    This Virtual Boy thing would be cool if it was just straight emulation (playing it on the TV in as 3D-ish as they can make it). However, you need a $100 add-on, and it's a headache-inducing headset, plus you need the Switch Online Plus or whatever the expensive subscription is. What teh fock

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    The one cool thing about Virtual Boy is the Wario Land game on there. TBH I like that game (and the Wii one, Wario Land: Shake It) more than I liked any of the actual numbered Wario Land sequels on the GBC and GBA. I mean, Wario Land 4 was okay, but 2 and 3 bored me to tears and went on way too...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'll believe Metroid Prime 4 exists when I actually see it on a store shelf. The bike stuff...why Nintendo has burned through all their goodwill with me over the years so I'm not going to jump up and down cheering every time they announce something like their fanbase does.

    Alien: Earth

    I think it's safe to say that this thread has a TV show record for instances of the word "retarded"...and unfortunately, it's deserved. Still liked watching it.

    Alien: Earth

    I predict the eye monster gets Boy Kavalier before the end (after his order to place the eye monster in a "low IQ" person like the janitor to see what happens, he deserves a bit of comeuppance). Then the island gets nuked. It's the only way to be sure. Season 2 can be about the other...

    They are, though. There's a subsection of the population that has never heard "no" in their lives.

    Alien: Earth

    Agreed. The goat standing around just sorta casually watching all the chaos happening around it has been a consistent source of amusement. It's a weird, malevolent goat.

    Twin Peaks

    Episode 8 must be the one that people were hugely into. Just saw it. Wild episode. I don't know what the hell was going on for 70% of it, or what all of those parts had to do with anything, but it was visually-stunning the same way 2001: A Space Odyssey was. Tammy is so goddamn hot. I need...

    Alien: Earth

    5th episode was awesome and easily the high point of the show so far (and given that it's a bit of a standalone prequel, it'll probably remain the best thing the show did). The first 15 minutes of Episode 1 can be watched right before Episode 5 to get the full story of the Maginot. That plus Ep...

    Twin Peaks

    Finished the original show, recommend it to anyone who hasn't. Can definitely say that the show aged decently and is still worth watching, though it isn't for everyone, and it's easy to trail off during the back half of the original series. It felt like the most bizarre, written-on-drugs soap...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Yeah, definitely looks like counter measures. Notice how the missile arcs around after impact? Not sure if it's responding to a gravitational field around the object, or automatically regaining its initial trajectory (I don't know how advanced hellfires are). If hellfires are about 4 feet...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Does seem slow for a missile, but maybe the footage is slowed down. Wondering what the three small orbs are that "break off" of the main orb while continuing to follow it. Some sort of defensive mechanism? Actual damage to the object?

    You know you're getting old when you see Charlie Kirk was born in 1993 and realize he was actually ten years younger than you.

    Alien: Earth

    Also my issue. Having characters be kids in adult bodies seems like a good way to cover up for the writers also being kids in adult bodies. Considering that a lot of the other characters also sound like they were written by kids.

    What are you playing?

    Keep getting distracted away from my Morrowind run, it still isn't finished. My character is probably at "endgame level" and can fly, but I've hardly done any of the main story. Went through a whole odyssey of selling things to the Mudcrab Merchant to make exorbitant amounts of money. Every play...

    Sports Entertainment

    I 'member when it was called the Rosemont Horizon back in the day. Surprised they didn't run the much bigger/nicer United Center, it would have filled up for a momentous event like this. The AJ return probably came together fairly recently, after the building was signed off.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Sekiro was by and large a lot easier than I expected it to be after all the hype. The only fights that really gave me any legitimate grief on NG were Headless Ape, Demon of Hatred, and the final boss. (And Shura Ending Isshin on NG+) Demon of Hatred was the worst out of all of them and took me...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I've been thinking this for a while. Got a couple friends playing and they're suited up in astronaut suits worth of armor to try and survive. I keep emphasizing that being fast (and using the right talismans) is probably a lot more important than armor but they insist that they survive better...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Midir and Gael are the only two bosses left in the entire Soulsborne universe that I haven't killed. Didn't really try Gael, DID try Midir and couldn't do it. By that point in Souls 3 I was pretty tuckered out with the game and trying over and over wasn't that appealing anymore. Can also more or...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Radahn down, SOTE down. 3rd try (of this last set of attempts, I lost a bunch of times at earlier points). Did everything I could possibly find in the DLC before this latest try, including the super secret under-the-ocean legacy dungeon with a bunch of grace points and St. Trina... didn't even...
