Anyone that doesn't immediately pick 75% levitation has neither read the intro to Way of Kings nor thought about it for even a few seconds - massively reducing your friction has a ton of utility. Actual invisibility in the dark is extremely useful as well, though mostly for questionable aims.

I would hope they allow player power to scale to the same level as MoP - every max level character in levelling gear can solo any raid mob in Legion in seconds, and there's no Mage Tower, so there is literally zero content any player couldn't do with zero risk in the base game today.

They're merging the apps, I hadn't heard anything definitive about combining the subs into one (hopefully lower) price.

Wasn't Season 2 already the back half of Season 1 that was paused when they changed (really, put in) a showrunner and frankensteined the existing episodes? Obviously, Disney has way, way cut down on their spending for original content on Disney+ - I honestly don't know why people would pay a...

Keeping in the N-word during that Pulp Fiction clip? The boys really are pushing Youtube's new profanity guidelines.

Eh, how often is a pinky injury season-ending. Jones will almost certainly start the season now, however.

I haven't bothered with a 5 series either - yet - though deep price cuts might make me settle for a 5070 or 5070Ti non-super until we get next-gen. The elephant in the room is I just don't think we're going to major improvements without a process shrink, and even if Nvidia did want to outbid...

The media story was Bezos said 'We have all the money on earth, where's my Game of Thrones', i.e. a high budget, high prestige genre show, and that he liked the concept of doing a Lord of the Rings show. Obviously, there are a laundry list of reasons for why it is a disaster, from not paying...

There's behind-the-scenes timings as well, there may be 'Movie must be on VOD for minimum X days prior to streaming' clauses, and WB wants this as their big Christmas HBO release. But realistically, if people haven't bothered to get to the theater for this by now, I'm not sure there's any...

To be fair, if it didn't overtake Cap Falcon domestically today, it will tomorrow, and will overtake Ant-Man 3 before the weekend is out. It seems inconceivable FF will hit the $340M Thor 4 hit, much less the $360M of GotG 3, however. Internationally, this is no GotG 3 either - FF had 1/5th...

As Lanx said, Amazon as a whole has publicly stated they're trying to be environmentally conscious / cut shipping costs by trying to reduce the amount (and cost) of packaging materials orders go out in, or remove them altogether as SIOCs. This does seem like a major initiative of theirs - I was...

Honestly, GotG 3 is the best yardstick for both of them. Superman is clearly above GotG 3, and may even hit the $370M mark to overtake The Batman as DC's best domestic post-covid performer. FF... is up or down vs GotG 3 on a daily basis, but is still above where GotG 3 was seven days in...

Only an idiot would bet against the Chiefs, given their string of SB appearances. So call me an idiot, because I want (some) new blood, gimme Bills / Ravens and Rams / Eagles for the conference championships.

If I recall, that's not really the case - instead when Cameron got funding from (then) Fox, it was for a planned set* of four sequels: Avatar 2, 3, and the beginning of 4 all take place in a row, with a time jump before the back chunk of 4 and 5, at which point the kids will all be adults...

To be clear, Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer's wife has existed since the 60s. Shalla Bal as Silver Surfer herself happened in 2000, and significantly predates the Jonathan Hickman run the movie gets a lot of its inspiration from (like Sue as Super Politician) starting in 2009. (Comic) Shalla Bal...

Pretty sure there's been press stories that Cap Marvel, Spidey, Cap Falcon, New Widow, and Reed are leading the team in the years and years Endgame. It all seems like empty 'Please be excited for the newest release!' PR nonsense. (Ironically, it sounds like FF's PR has been filled with lies on...

To be clear, other than hoping that movies made by creatives I like do well enough that they get money for another project, I am not rooting for or against the box office returns of any movie. But at the same time, it's inarguable that the (especially aggregate) data does factor into which...

Between Covid, the strikes, and the rise of VOD and especially streaming services, the cinema industry has been significantly altered. It's _possible_ all those kids that still go to movies for animated movies _might_ go back to the theatres as adults, but if they do, that's years down the line...

Josh wasn't credited at the end! I get that he would want to be there if musicians are invited But young, innocent Rich - you were already in an episode where a terrible movie was re-edited and rescored! (Bear is a bit better than Jay at it - though that video also shows why I thought Bear was...

I hadn't realized Bear was only born in '79, that's smack dab in the middle of the crew. Amusing that they never shoot Jay and Bear next to each other, lest you think one is the evil universe version of the other.

I don't get this meme, obviously Kazaam (1996) ⭐ 3.1 | Comedy, Family, Fantasy exists, this just seems like 'They all look alike!' racism*. *Cross-race effect - Wikipedia is a thing, of course, and the predominant explanation is its not racism at all - until very recently (on the evolutionary...

It's Noah Hawley, you're generally going to get a really good first season (that may take a bit for the plot threads to connect), followed by uneven later seasons. As always, prequels where the threat was known to some all along, are tough to align with the original works, but Hawley's given...

I kept it vague, but if you are restarting, you should look up the specific dialogue options you need to pick for "Don't Fear the Reaper" to give yourself that option. (Unless you are playing on PC, where you can just console command the necessary flag, if you can get the console mod working.)

But as a reminder, GotG 3 didn't have a single character in it not from Gunn's movies - there was no contribution from the MCU. Domestically, Superman's actually been doing very well over the weekdays as well. It probably won't hit the domestic $340M of Thor 4, to say nothing of the $370M of...

The game's half a decade old, this shouldn't be considered spoiler territory. But for those who just got it free from PS or whatever: At least until Phantom Liberty, all roads lead to assaulting Arasaka Tower to get to Mikoshi, and everyone doesn't walk out of there alive. (Always available)...

Patched, loaded my save (~283 quests completed, Nocturne is only available), two base game sidegigs popped as doable (that should have triggered long ago), but didn't get quests for any other new vehicles, though I could buy the one new vehicle. No new map options. Beyond the display / framegen...

Chris Evans made just $300K for Captain America 1, and he had way more of a resume going into it (Fantastic Fours, Not Another Teen Movie, Push, Scott Pilgrim) than Corenswet. That's how these used to work - hire the 'nobody' for the low returns first movie and hope enough additional people...

2.3 was only supposed to be on the order of 2.2. It's whatever comes after that that is the real mystery, like explaining who these six slots are. I still think it ties into anime, as why else would CDPR not have announced / published whatever it is unless it was a spoiler / tie-in for the...

You said it, as weird as a Clayface movie being in the first three movies of a new Cinematic Universe is, Mike Flanagan is not one who's going to fall into the usual 'ad-lib everything and remake half the movie in reshoots' trap. As much as I would like to see mid-budget movies be made, and not...

I should have specified NFL rookie _contracts_, not rookies - it's mostly year three where you see the absurd performance / salary issues. Edit: And again, these rookie contracts should have been set by the CBA - its the (not actually members of the NFLPA yet) rookies that are bending the...

IIRC, the NFL draft gives the team that picked the player the exclusive rights to _sign_ that player to a contract, in that year, in that league. A player could just sit out the year, at which point they just enter the draft pool the next year. Being a year older and with no increase in...

You've answered your own question, for a game with a monthly subscription, resetting the gear once per expansion means they might only get a subscription from you one month an expansion. Instead, Blizzard (or their accountants) has long since figured this out, and it's all FOMO all the time...

I'd be shocked if Superman: Legacy (which is a terrible title, what legacy does a newish hero in his first movie have) hits Man of Steel's unadjusted $291M domestic (to say nothing of the inflation adjusted value) - it probably won't beat Sinners' ~$280M, and may not even top the ~$270M...

I agree that Krypto showing up, fixing the situation, then disappearing in the next shot is one of the weakest bits of this script, but you said it yourself - Guy and Terrific already have too many of the hero moments as is vs Superman in a movie with Superman in the title. Give Superman more...

They needed to have the public have a reason for why they could possibly side with Lex over Superman. Except with Ultraman, you have Black Noir right there, just show him blowing up not-Israel forces ("We can't trust Superman to stand with US policy!") and explain the footage as AI to keep the...

I think what's going on, and what's always been going on, is despite what I believe are Blizzard statements to the contrary, every raid member doesn't get their own independent chance at a mount. Instead, your raid has an X% chance of a drop, and your chance of getting that mount is divided by...

Honestly, this was pretty much what I expected: Gunn trying to GotG again, except launching an entire cinematic universe in one movie this time*. The overstuffed, overhurried results are mostly fine (7/10), and unsurprisingly, only the handful of characters I expected left any real impression...

That is one 70s ass cover for a book not published until '88. (As others have said, it's the best book about Space Chess ever written.)

I didn't think it was out for general audiences yet, the (legitimate) user reviews should just be people who paid for the preview showings, so that would be pretty self-selecting to Superman fans to start with.

Even if the EU demands that any game server stay up indefinitely / release server code: 1) What happens when that company goes under? 2) "Just release the source code so people can make their own servers!" I don't recall any other industries having to give away their IP, and this could still...
