  1. D1P Entertainment Board delivers a riveting debate once again šŸ˜‚
  2. I have no issue saying that this was by far the greatest audio experience Iā€™ve ever had in a theater.
  3. Haha yeah this movie is pretty much the last third of the book. Itā€™s one continuous story so youā€™d be pretty lost.
  4. Youā€™re right, Bardem was an absolute stand out star. Everything Chalamet does from the time Paul goes south through the end of the movie is absolutely incredible. Rebecca Fergusonā€™s descent also canā€™t be ignored. Honestly thereā€™s not a single performance that falls below outstanding. Everything from the arrival from the South onward I basically sat there thinking ā€œthis is far and away the most epic shit Iā€™ve ever seen in my lifeā€. Anyone mad they didnā€™t get badass Luke in Last Jedi is gonna love this shit šŸ˜‚ Seriously I could go on forever. The cinematography on Geidi Prime, the duel, THAT ARRIVAL during the battle šŸ˜³. First movie Iā€™ve seen in a long time with applause from the audience, first one I immediately wanted to buy another ticket too and see it again. Give me extended editions released as single cut Iā€™m more than happy sitting for 7/8 hours watching this story unfold.
  5. Just got back the theater. 1 million out of 10. Fucking flawless. No notes. Im exhausted so im not gonna get into a full spoiler filled review on the finer details of the story and their choices on how the adapted it. Iā€™ll just say it fucking works, all of it. This feels a little like LotR in that there are some pretty major things left out but you donā€™t miss them and the feeling and themes are all there. Iā€™m excited to talk about it once people start seeing it. For the love of god see this in the best theater possible with the best SOUND system possible. Those subwoofers in the seats were working overtime. Amazing
  6. Watched the first episode. Other than being convinced the English guy was Logan Marshall-Green for almost the entire show, that was FANTASTIC
  7. Reading through that list of movies it dawned on me that I think I generally like pretty much everything Costner does. Even Waterworld and The Postman are guilty pleasures haha. Heā€™s like a lesser Tom Cruise haha.
  8. Not mentioned yet but the implementation of the Cabbage Guy was šŸ¤ŒšŸ»
  9. We binged 2-8 all day yesterday. I loved it! Look, itā€™s not the cartoon. Nothing will ever be the cartoon. Itā€™s arguably one of the ten best tv shows of all time in my opinion. And that doesnā€™t even speak to the power of nostalgia. So if youā€™re expecting/demanding that then donā€™t even watch it. Personally I love that they picked a tone and stuck with it. They didnā€™t try and cram everything in. Adapting the more serious and adult tone from season 3 right from the get go gave this thing a weight. Youā€™re able to understand whatā€™s at stake much quicker while also never feeling very rushed. I also think this makes the show a little more appealing to a broader audience. I personally didnā€™t notice any inconsistencies in tone. Episode 5 is actually my favorite of the whole season haha. But that doesnā€™t mean theyā€™re not there. They just didnt stand out to me. There are a ton of people Iā€™ve been trying to push to watch the original cartoon that have resisted. All of them so far seem much more open to trying this. My hope is that they enjoy the adaption enough to want to go back and watch the cartoon(my wife in particular literally asked if we could watch the cartoon now as soon as we finished the adaption haha). So the more people this brings this amazing story and world to the better imo
  10. Halfway through. I wasnā€™t sure after episode one, felt very uneven and forced. But honestly itā€™s hit a groove and Iā€™m loving it. Im enjoying the different take of leaning much more heavily on the the emotion and gravity of the war and its effect on everyone.
  11. In that I think his movies are trash and have zero desire to even give them a chance based on principle at this point.
  12. Lol yes the other 3 of us were. Plus it was on Medium which a couple of us could solo no problem. For that Comm Relay, there is a very slight ā€œbeepā€ noise when you get the dish in place. Tough to hear but once you know what to listen for itā€™s easy.
  13. Fine by me. I have to have Peacock for the WWE and Iā€™ve always resisted Paramount because I didnā€™t want to add another service. Hopefully they completely redo the interface. It blows my mind how none of these companies can hire a halfway competent designer to make these UI even marginally user friendly. Except Disney and Netflix which are fine I guess.
  14. If youā€™re playing on PS5, instead of booting the game up normally. Go to ā€œResume Activityā€ below it and go into the game that way. Takes a minute but I got on twice like that tonight.
  15. Dexerto (@dexerto) ā€¢ Instagram reel WWW.INSTAGRAM.COM 47K likes, 958 comments - dexerto on February 13, 2024: "This clip is better than any trailer. This game looks insane! #Helldivers2" Again, this kind of scene is not super rare. Shit is this nuts constantly.
  16. Yeah the images from that gifā€¦thatā€™s the standard not the exception haha. Something like that happens nearly every match. Itā€™s obviously way better with friends on a mic. Like weā€™re talking all time great multiplayer experience with friends on a mic. But Iā€™ve been having fun solo as well. It is tough at the beginning but as you level up and unlock more Orbital Strikes, Fighter Runs, Special weapons etcā€¦ it becomes much more manageable. I havenā€™t tried it yet but there are certainly the tools to take a more stealthy ā€œget in and get outā€ type approach. The community is pretty great so far as well. Now that the servers are stabilizing Iā€™m getting randoms join my game more often than not and every experience has been good so far. No idiots team killing just for the sake of it. I could not recommend this game more.
  17. Yeah that shit was fun as hell. Started around 10 and had to force myself to go to bed at like 230am haha
  18. The haptics on the PS5 controller make it even better. All the guns feel great to use. I played a few missions solo and theyā€™re fun but def tough alone. Then played a couple with @JPDunks4 and had a blast. The last mission we ran out of time so the main ship left and we had to wait the 2 minutes for our pick up with no special abilities. Spent two minutes with him pouring his flamethrower and me my machine gun into the small pass leading to the extraction point. Drop shop landed on him and killed him but I made it out šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ Music makes it even more epic feeling. Def a lot of fun and canā€™t wait to get a full squad and see what the upper difficulties are like
  19. Having some matchmaking issues on PS5. Only been able to play with other people once
  20. Played the tutorial and one mission by myself. I LOVE this. The gameplay itself is solid and fun but the package itā€™s wrapped in so hilariously fun.
