    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    It also could have been "chance except for these few choices" which is basically what it amounted to in the comics.

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    According to the reddits, PUBG Pass is 1 month. Also, Fortnite is free, $10 for 10 weeks, PUBG costs $20-$30, is $10 for 4 weeks. Yea. Awesome.

    Fallout 76

    I don't know who would claim Steam wasn't a pile to start, it was worse at finding servers to start than the various community ones that'd been made and I was kinda pissed at Steam for replacing them with their shit ass UI and implementation. They've come a long way but they still have serious...

    League Of Legends

    Riot has been working on "at least" 1 non-LoL game for a couple years, according to them. They've even hired specifically for it a couple times. I think they'd be crazy not to put out League Lore related games of some kind, but I actually think they've teased that the thing they're working on...

    League Of Legends

    Fortnite will run into the same esports problem PUBG has - the game itself is a terrible format for esports. Counter-Strike and OW have reasonable esports scenes because, even though they're also shooters, they are team vs. team and way fewer players to manage. Any Battle Royale game is going to...

    Captain Marvel (2019)

    It's fair to call it a dumb reason to claim a movie got bad reviews, but it's not fair to pretend like this is some kind of new thing only inspired by one group of people in a movement. People have been making up really shit excuses for why their movie / game / show / book / art / food / penis /...

    League Of Legends

    I think you guys might be wrong in assuming that not being #1 means declining viewers or popularity - the Twitch audience has grown a lot, and some of the league games over the past week have surpassed numbers for last years LCS finals. Just because other games have a larger audience doesn't...

    Fallout 76

    Pretty much all the game publishers / devs that can afford to make their own launcher / distribution system have done so at this point. Steam's business model isn't unfair or unreasonable, but for the few big pubs, they decided they could make more by building their own infrastructure than...

    Just Cause 4

    I was excited anyway but the more they show the more hype I am. JC3 was fun, albeit disappointing, looks like JC4 might address a lot of my complaints, and new engine even!

    Fallout 76

    I like co-op survival but have avoided Rust / etc. because I don't have time to be bothered with PvP / griefing at the same time (for PvP I'll play BR or League or something totally PvP) - I like the Fallout mainline games well enough but I'm kind of hopeful there'll be "blue" shards or...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I would agree with that, but I am not some casual noob. Like I said, I've given it a shot many many times, and each time I spend hours reading notes, builds, advice, etc., and tend to follow some "fun" build or other. It's not that I don't understand what I'm doing, it's that I don't like what I...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    I've tried PoE basically every major update since their early beta and I have never once actually had fun. I would rather play Diablo 1, or 2, or 3, or Van Helsing or give Grim Dawn another shot (which I also found boring). While PoE has some good ideas I absolutely hate some of their decisions...

    Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 (2018)

    I remember when people used to complain about things worth complaining about, rather than "a non-white-male had a scene/did something!" That scene doesn't even pass the Bechdel test, which I have to imagine is a pretty low bar in the "SJW" realm. I think it's perfectly fair to make fun of how...

    John Wick: Chapter 3 (2019)

    There are very, very, very few actual action movies where the main character dies, and all of those have it happen at the end of the movie in some heroic and usually cheesy manner (the thing parodied in Deadpool 2). The tenseness is almost never from believing the character could die, it's from...

    Everspace (Space shooter)

    Kinda annoyed that I backed it on KS, they release it "fully" finally and then 4 months later, $10 DLC. I need to get back into it but don't think I'll bother paying that extra.

    God of War (2018)

    I just killed the last Valk, in the mists. Was probably my favorite Valk fight actually and also one of the best endings to one I had... she had a sliver of health left and dashed back as I was charging forward, she started some red-ring attack and I realized I wasn't going to be in range so I...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    One of the points I was trying to make above is once the Gen-1 MCU heroes are "retired", you don't particularly need to escalate threat, the threats just need to be relevant relative to the new heroes. But you do have some in-between ones like Spider-Man who is part of Infinity War put also...

    Mission: Impossible - Fallout (2018)

    I think I was more interested before that trailer. And I'm normally a sucker for trailers. That was just bland as hell.

    Marvel Strike Force.

    The blue orbs are technically cost efficient, but the number of pulls is never going to make up for bad RNG. The purple orbs are nearly twice as expensive as just buying the purple items individually, for the off-chance of getting a "completed" gear item you need (bad investment). Thor is a good...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I think it's unlikely that Thanos could destroy the stones with the stones themselves, Wanda presumably was able to do it because of very specific conditions that Thanos would need to somehow recreate over time (imbuing external entity with ability to manipulate shit using power not directly...

    Marvel Strike Force.

    I'm still playing this every day pretty reliably, I am pretty happy with my alliance and general progression. I'm kind of expecting the character usage to diversify as time goes on, older players will have a bigger pool and newer players will probably have access to different things, right now...

    Steam Link App

    A bunch of people on the interwebs have said most Android TVs can already install the app, apparently. My TV isn't android but kinda moot as it's wired as an optional output to my PC anyway :P Just need to wait a couple weeks and try and muck about with the phone app. The S8+ isn't THAT big so...

    Steam Link App

    If the app allows as much control customization as Steam itself does (which I have to imagine it will be identical, you're just passing input into the PC) then this is amazing. I can finally play a real 4X on my phone

    Marvel Strike Force.

    The beta players are (primarily) on a separate server - there's 2, one pre-launch and one post-launch, although there was some fuckery that got some people on the wrong ones that they've been addressing (if you find yourself on the pre-launch server as a new player you can log a ticket to get...

    Hearthstone

    Kripp just put out a video going over a post about how absurdly bad the arena drafting design is, worse than thought: Worgen Abomination weighted the same as Ultimate Infestation. All card games have their own issues, but Hearthstone really stands out as having some of the most obviously...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    The Hulk is fine and everything, but as far as entertainment goes I'll take Mark Ruffalo's Banner over Hulk for days. As far as what happens next, it's unclear whether Strange was able to see into the future past his own demise so no idea if he manipulated things to happen this way so an...

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    The only one of those trailers my showing had was Jurassic, which I didn't care about before or after :P We also had Harry Potter, Deadpool 2, and a couple of things I'm blanking on (clearly, effective trailers)

    Fortnite - Epic Games - Team Survival/Strategy/Crafting/Combat

    I love watching Aculite's Fortnite videos. It's like he's not even playing the same game sometimes, the way he builds.

    Ant-Man and the Wasp (2018)

    That would be amazing

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I don't think Shuri died pre-stones, they would have made a bigger deal of that, and Glaive was after Vision / Vision after Glaive. I forgot Vision's death is definitely pre-snap.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    I don't really expect any of the pre-snap deaths to be fixed, but that's just the two if I remember correctly. As much as I think Loki is one of the best, if not the best, characters in the MCU, I could see him being written out with his arc kind of ending as it did. Presumably anyone that got...

    PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

    I think more vehicles would be good in general, despite the constant 5% chance to just die to a bumpy pixel in them. Not everyone loves the vehicles and some prefer to hoof it but having vehicles as an actual option would be nice.

    MTG thread

    That would be very disappointing. HS itself is vastly more expensive then most of the other digital card games out right now on top of that, so Magic being worse is... well, bad.

    Deadpool 2 (2018)

    Healing factor doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like a fucker, which has come up a few times with regenerators. It's perfectly reasonable to not want to feel the feeling of getting shot :P

    The Equalizer 2 (2018)

    Oh I definitely think Man on Fire is a better movie. It's a fantastic movie, in fact. Equalizer was just pretty decent. Hoping this is also pretty decent.
  37. Amzin

    The Equalizer 2 (2018)

    I liked the first one a lot except for the dumb last 2 minutes of the Home Depot (or wherever it was) scene. I'll certainly check this out. Hopefully they can keep it going.

    Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

    bahaha that's so good. Personally, I recognize what all these trailers are doing but I just don't care, I love them. I won't always go see X shitty movie but I will enjoy their trailer that effectively cost $200M. Not to say I don't enjoy more creative trailers too I suppose. This is the first...

    Hearthstone

    Shudderwock isn't a good deck (so far), it's just a terrible implementation of something. HS has always had an issue with drawn out animations and animation time and Shudderwock really shows it off :P It's similar to when people played Noz and abused animations to eat enemy turns, this just...

    Hotel Artemis (2018)

    I haven't heard of this until just now so that's not a great sign for it's marketing, but it looks entertaining. Fuck, put that cast together under any premise and you can probably sit through it for a while and be fine.
