    The D&D thread

    I'm a player in a Strahd campaign that has just started. First time we are using Foundry while in person, DM is using resources from this guy you might know of. https://www.patreon.com/BeneosBattlemaps Even when we don't have a battlemap up, just an image for the current location is helping...

    Bosch

    Taken as a regular season, this was ok, not great not terrible territory. Taken as a series finale - Was really hoping for more out of those last few episodes as a proper send off. Main actor has a willingness to continue in some form, we'll see if anything comes of it beyond his credited...

    The Long Walk (2025)

    The Life of Chuck gets wide release June 13 The Long Walk releases September 12 The Running Man on November 7 I am quietly hoping they are all great adaptions, since each director has been carrying a torch for their movie (or so they say in interviews).

    Bad Monkey

    Glad I gave this one a go. I thought it was decent after 1 ep but ended up liking it more and more as it unfolded. Good writing, payoffs, call backs. Bring on season 2.

    The Bondsman

    Agree with all the above. There's enough here to like, but a whole lot that could be done better. It's also the kind of show where in the middle of watching it, I became aware I was doing it wrong by giving it my full attention. It's like they expect you to be on your phone the whole time, and...

    The Pitt

    Well I'm glad I ended up being wrong about shooter stuff, I'll put it down to being conditioned by other shows convenient writing. You're right, they slowed it right down and were practically talking to the audience through the Slowmo doctor being amped up then crashing out. I thought it added...

    Megalopolis

    He’s taken risks before and had it pay off, I’ll give it a shot. For anyone that has never seen the doco on making Apocalypse Now it is just as interesting as the movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0102015/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

    The Iron Claw

    This was well done and deserving of praise. It keeps the fights interesting by making you question if people are hurt for real or just acting hurt for the routine. As a drama first and a wrestling movie second it holds your attention with a deft touch. I needed tissues twice towards the end...

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Thanks for sharing, I wasn't aware of it but will take a look at Burns link. I did a KOTOR play through recently and a steam guide was helpful for a bunch of fixes / mods to bring it up to date, but always open to a better way.

    Fallout - New Vegas

    Well, about time I played a Fallout game myself instead of watching/hearing friends talk about it. Started a New Vegas play-through after watching the show. Not far in, I'm about to head south of Primm after doing what I could first visit. I followed this steam guide to get started, they...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    Soundbars are good in the sense that they are better than nothing. For the same money, whether your budget is $500 or $5,000 your money is better spent on individual components rather than something trying to be an all in one solution. Here's a cheap buy list as an example if all you have is a...

    Agreed. Extend this to artists as well. For example, Give me their most played for the year excluding December, because top tracks for that artist could vary significantly when you exclude lead up to Christmas. Trying to search this when it actually is December is a shit show, just have wait...

    Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026 - Microsoft Support Makes me think of completing school assignments back in the 90's with Publisher. I'm sure there are still a bunch of church/school newsletters generated this way.

    Twisters (2024)

    On the bright side, this new film coming out could mean a 4K remaster of the old one and potential atmos track, making an already good sound mix even better. I did a rewatch last year and the 5.1 mix still hits hard. Part of me is interested in how the storm chasing game has changed from the...

    Reacher

    hadmeinthefirsthalf.jpg I was thinking this ringing endorsement from the critics meant they had pussified the show, but reading the actual quotes sounds like this second season is undeniably bad ass enough that the soy latte crowd cant help but find their testicles again. Hell yeah brother.

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (2023)

    If you were thinking of checking this out now that decent rips have released, don't bother. I can normally find some aspect to enjoy even when a movie isn't aimed at me, but was struggling here.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    Ok, it's not fair to make it sound like he was solely responsible since he definitely wasn't. How about if I rephrase it as he contributed to the early seasons in a way that made us care about Eccleston and Tennant in the first place. Season 1 standouts like The Empty Child and The Doctor...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    It's easy to shit on him now, lets gloss over his role in reviving the show from death and giving us Eccleston and Tennant in the first place since it doesn't help your argument. On a short leash where he doesn't need to create any of the crazy crap you mentioned, you employ him to adapt the...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    It's no secret most modern comics are shit, but one exception I did enjoy was the Silver Surfer 30 issue run by Slott and Allred. Psychedelic art that matched the cosmic vibe with a Dr Who companion story thrown in, I could see a movie adaption having a lot of general appeal. Hire Steven Moffat...

    Could be her first and last time, or the start of a long directing career. Having the right name surely helps to get started.

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    Jokes aside, I was the schmuck who got ultimate edition and hit 90 Barb at launch and hit 64 Druid in season 1 before losing interest. Largely played season 1 just because I'd already paid for it. After having a quick session to hit level 20 as Rogue season 2 so far, that short time was enough...

    Ballerina (2024)

    This is the John Wick spinoff, originally slated for 2023 and pushed back to 2024. Same writer as John Wick 3 and 4, we'll see if the Underworld director can show off Ana de Armas' assets as well as he did Kate Beckinsale's.

    The Continental: From the World of John Wick

    I give it a 6. Over reliance of music to compensate for cool factor and also distracting since all well known songs. Instead of trying to one up Zach Snyder, do it less and make it mean more. Choreography and violence is present but, execution is a definite step down. It stood out from the get...
