Stop what you are doing and get to it NOW!!! 

I've watched the first handful of episodes. Seems like a pretty decent show so far.

Again I'm on a media blackout so I didn't watch, but from what I heard this was a very good showcase with a lot of great reveals. Seems Bungie was indeed holding some things close to their chest to save for later.

On Tuesday they also released their new horde mode gametype called Onslaught, and it's a lot of fun! They're also bringing back fan favourite exotic missions The Whisper, and Zero Hour, and at the end of the month they are adding Panatheon, which sounds like a Raid boss rush mode, so good for people who don't/can't raid to get some raid weapons, including raid exotics.

I know the developers said they wouldn't add in PvP because they want to avoid any toxicity forming in the community, but I took that as Helldivers vs. Helldivers, but what about Helldivers vs. player controlled bugs/robots ala Left 4 Dead? That might work. 

After now putting in over 50 hours into this game, and wishing I had even more, I realize this really isn't that type of game at all, and wouldn't be needed/fit. I thought of this before getting the game, so didn't really understand the gameplay loop, so it doesn't need a mode like that. I wonder what other kind of variety they could add to the mission types though. They recently added an almost tower defense mission.

I love Conan; that was hilarious.

Will they be the titular characters?

I don't see why that would matter. Are the Michael Bay Transformers movies not live action just because the robots are obviously CGI? Sure I'd love it if they got a high tech suit like they did with the '90s movies, especially with what they could do with today's technology, but just unless the whole movie is CGI then yeah it's live action.

Excited to see it.  Not sure how TMNT, which are almost 100% guaranteed to be CGI is "live action".

I'm sure there will be humans in the movie. 

As someone who's never played the games yet, would I enjoy it? I'm guessing the answer is yes, but even moreso if I did play them. 

If you're making a PB&J sandwich, what flavour of jam/jelly do you prefer? Strawberry? Raspberry? Blackberry? Apricot? Something else? 

Followup question: crunchy or smooth peanut butter?

Well if they have Contra which is owned by Konami, it's only a matter of time before the official Castlevania crossover, right? Might be redundant, but I still think it could be fun. 

Finally watched it. It was fine. Not sure why all the terrible reviews, but yeah there were certainly a lot of issues with the show. I think my expectations for MCU stuff now is just lower. I also think the MCU is just too large now to keep track of a lot of things for the writers to be aware of everything. 

I hope she can replicate that success from Barbie. 

Look at what a monster those #ReleaseTheSnyderCut chuds have created.

I don't really care one way or the other, but I Was Made for Lovin' You is pretty catchy

Edit: I mean literally look what happened in this thread. Based on the headline and your post about it one of our own users was like fuck this shit then! Lost a purchase. 

I'm pretty sure @XxEvil AshxX was joking.

I REALLY hope they resist the temptation to give her Force Powers at some point in the game. Just let her be a straight up scoundrel who has to bet by on her wits and her skills with a blaster.

I don't see that happening. Pretty sure this will stick to being a third person shooter. Now if she runs into a Force user that's a different story.

I was joking about eclipse snobs earlier, but now I kinda get it. When it hit 100% (and zero cloud cover), it suddenly looked and felt like we warped to like 8:15PM. Not the total darkness of late night, but like the sun had definitely set recently. A minute later, as soon as there was just a tiny sliver of red showing, it was basically back to normal almost immediately. The sun is… bright. It was an interesting experience. 

Makes me wonder what an eclipse was like 2 million years ago when the Moon was closer to Earth, and therefore would have covered the Sun just a little bit more. Hell what was it like 50 million years ago? 

There was a Chipotle at a food court in a local mall that had cockroaches. Someone posted a TikTok of one running across the counter a few months ago. 

Was really cloudy all day, but it cleared up a little bit during the peak. Some kid at work bought a pair of glasses, so I was able to look at it. Pretty cool as all I saw was a red sliver at about 99% totality where I was. It didn't really get as dark as I was thinking based on what people were saying. Just looked like a storm was coming in and getting dark from that if I didn't know any better. I wonder if that small percentage makes a difference, and places with 100% total coverage were darker.
