?? link pls

It was during the Bombcast. They basically came out and said that Activision will probably just follow Amazon’s playbook for making stuff like this go away. 

Yes, cause it says it’s a film by him at the beginning of the trailer

I'm still trying to figure out how MotU is woke.

 

As an outsider, the intolerance that has been embraced by the left in the US -- which is heavily associated with wokeness and cancel culture -- is definitely a negative thing.

The fuck are you talking about

Its not. In any sense of it. 
 

What makes these scum bags come off even more stupid is that this season is only half over. Maybe wait to see how it all plays out before bitching.

Nothing in that trailer would lead any if to conclude this is a comedy. 

That entire little goofy scene with the Stay Puft’s is a bit of a clue. So is Paul Rudd’s inclusion in the film. The rest of it is entirely a nostalgia trailer. The point is to appeal to fans of the original…who know they’re comedies. 

Haha I honestly didn’t think it was coming out till the fall anyway 

Yeah 1 in 10 is really really good for Rachet. Remember PlayStation the preferred system for more casual gamers. I would venture a TON of those PS5 owners probably still only have Madden and CoD downloaded. Buying a game because it’s the first true next gen game is very much a thing the vocal internet/hardcore crowd would do. And just based on this thread alone you have people that aren’t a big fan of the franchise/waiting for a sale/teh kiddiez. So it’s really more surprising that it’s that high. 
 

But you know, Xbox piggies always trying to hate and sling their slop around making everyone else as sad as them.

You can play all those games on Xbox Series X/S thanks to Retroarch.

What is Retroarch?

Really, the lack of jokes in the trailer, that’s what we’re worried about. Jesus.

Old Greg ? The scaly Man Fish with a Mangina?

One and the same. Love of Baileys, creamy and wet. 

There was one on the 360. It was fantastic.

Theaters only

Damnit. Oh well, I feel like I need to go to this no matter what just to support it and help it do well. More of this type of stuff please.

Little White Lie

 

Interesting little documentary about a girl raised by her parents as basically white and Jewish...who well, was not. Not sure what to rate it. It looks more like a film student project with home movie snippets and her filming her parents on an IPhone or some shit but it's quite fascinating. You expect someone to be the obvious bad guy but as usual with real life and family, it's not that simple. 

 

The Great British Baking Show

 

I don't know wtf is going on with me lately but I only want to watch either ultra-wholesome things or documentaries, that's about it. This show is lovely but makes me viciously hungry. I've seen S1 and half of S2 so far and for some reason, I hate half the contestants of S2 while they were basically all really fun to watch on S1. 

Im legit addicted to British Baking show. It’s like the highlight of my year when it comes out. Absolutely blew my fucking mind when Old Greg took over as one of the hosts 😂😂😂

Is this Theater only or coming to streaming too?

To….make money?

Do you mean Paramount+?

I just finished it. It’s fun! And it’s meaningfully better than the original show, which was… not good? I loved it as a kid, had lots of figures and play sets. But it was never great and often bad. This is a fun romp. 
 

It’s occasionally less kid friendly than probably makes sense given the source material but they didn’t The Dark Knight Returns it up, which is good, nor did Smith give in to his worst instincts aside from a completely boneheaded, “no glove, no love” quip. 

I guess I can appreciate someone wanting this to solely focus on He-Man but other than that it’s difficult to imagine having any kind of bone to pick with anything happening here. It looks good and it’s fun. 

It’s crazy. If you watch the “Fan Favorite Top 10 He Man Episodes” DVD that’s out there you’d go “hell yeah, this show is as great as I remember”. There were def some fantastic episodes with surprisingly deep stories and messages. But then you go to the complete collection and start watching ALL the episodes and sweet Jesus is a lot of it sooooo cheesy and awful. 
 

One thing I really loved about Revelations was the attention to detail not just from the original show but from the toys. Just little things like weapon design was so spot on. They really managed to tap into nostalgia without beating you over the head with it. 

Eh I’ve been seeing it show up at the top of “Best Fantasy Series” lists for years. When the show was announced I figured it’d be as good a time as any to give it a go. I’m mostly listening to the audio books(I’m in beer/wine sales so I’m in my car all day) and occasionally will read some of the print at night.

I FULLY expect this take several years for me to get through. With audio books I usually switch it up when reading series. One book of the series and then some intent totally different, then back to the next one. Usually something fun and shorter(Graveyard Book, Ready Player One, Good Omens)The only series I’ve listened to straight through is Warlord Chronicles because that series is fucking flawless. 

Im honestly kind of excited for it to take so long. I feel like the end will really feel like the end of a journey personally to go along with the journey in the books.

I always preferred DS1 because of the setting. DS1 and DS2 are similar to RE1 and RE2 and how their settings are. I also dislike how much of a combatant you were in DS2. It makes sense, but Isaac being a shitter makes DS1 better for me. Even the suit design reflects this. 

 

Eh, I can just imagine him going "shit shit shit!" and that turns me off. Repeating expletives are a blight on horror games and take me right out of the mood. The player is the one who needs to go "shit shit shit," not the character. 

 

 

I feel the exact same way. I didn’t line DS2 at all because of how much of a Rambo they turned Isaac into. I also liked the setting better. The first one and a much cooler feeling of mystery and discovery to it.

The middle books absolutely drag to a ridiculous degree. 

I thought I read the quality doesn’t dip till around book 9. Then the final books don’t suck but the ending feels rushed. 

Are you posting that crap as examples of the ridiculous insecure bullshit that exists or because you agree with it? That video is such a shinning example of unintelligent pseudo intellectual trash that I watched it a minute longer than I should have because I honestly thought it was going to turn out to be a parody video. That’s how staggering out of touch and moronic it is. 

Just finished. I loved it. So many wonderful nods to the show and even the movie but none of it was done in a “hey member this” type of way. Such a cool and interesting story to tell that amazingly makes perfect sense considering it’s coming from a show with zero continuous story. Can’t wait for the next 5 episodes. 
 

Also, holy hell is Evil-Lyn hot

Welp, thought I could use this to get my 7 year old into He Man. He was down till the creepy ass Father/Daughter in episode 2 and then he tapped out. Lol oh well

FYI for those who don't want to read so many books the audiobooks are top notch. The first seasons length makes sense covering the first book. I hope the production values are up to snuff need to see some powerful magic here.

That’s how I’m going through them. They’re very well done. 
 

And yeah when I got to those particular scenes towards the end of book one, I immediately thought “sheesh I hope the show has enough budget to do this scene properly” lol
