Still not signing up

To be fair I think Imaginationland and the Coon arc’s were fantastic. I assume those were planned out ahead of time.

I discovered Marvel Strike Force on my phone the other day. I’m pretty sure it’s the better game.

Then what was it? You said the treatment of the characters was dependent of the audience having prior knowledge of their characters. Your following two paragraphs didn’t really have a clear connection to the first. They seemed to be separate issues you had.

My wife doesn’t know a single thing about any of the characters and she loved the show and had no issues following it or understanding motivations.

Requiem For a Dream did infinitely more to convince me to never do hard drugs in 2 hours than years of health class could even hope to accomplish. They should really show that movie in schools.

I’ve seen 16 of those. A few more of seen the beginnings of out of curiosity but turned off. There’s a handful on there I def wanna check out but a good chunk of them I’ll pass on.

Raya and the Last Dragon - 8/10 Yeah, I spent $30 wanna fight about it? I really really liked this movie. This is easily the best Disney or Pixar film since Moana. The message is fantastic(especially given the last few months) but it’s never too on point that you roll your eyes. The characters are great. Yes it’s technically a princess movie but really only on the technicality that they bothered making her Raya a princess. The side characters she meets along the way are also great. I wouldn’t put in the upper tier with the golden era movies or Moana. While it nails the 1st and 3rd acts the middle feels a bit rushed and the scale of the world sometimes feels oddly small. Also, and this is personnel taste, I really could have used some songs in this. The score is spectacular but everything about this oozed musical. A couple great songs could have bumped this up to the next level for me. Very much enjoyed it.

Wait, neither of you have seen The Matrix?? Then that’s the fucking answer, immediately. Stop dicking around on the internet and go watch that right away!!

Just started Eye of the World. Can I finish the entire series before the show comes out? Let’s give it a shot.

I love this post

Right, the only thing that crossed my mind when he said that was “that’s a pretty nice way if putting that” how you could drag something controversial out of it is beyond stupid

Yeah there’s A LOT of Diablo influence in how this all works.

I think I read it was the original plan. That’s the whole point of this right? To get the movie he was planning on making?

The only class I’ve put a bunch of time in is Technomancer and I got through it solo no problem. I think I died 4 or 5 total times. First run through there were def times I had to retreat and hide for a bit. But it never felt like it wasn’t possible. The latest run on Tier 5 at level 7 I absolutely shredded through the whole level with no issue. Obviously some classes will be tougher but I don’t see this game being impossible to solo.

It may not have made national news but 100% would have made news. It’s really weird story even without Lady Gaga involved. Plus it was caught on tape.

As opposed to?

Putting Jeep owners into the “right wing MAGA” camp is pretty bizarre. Jeep and it’s image isn’t anywhere close to that and outside of the Grand Cherokee being kind of a soccer mom vehicle they most closely associate with the extreme sports out door crowd. That group is about as far from MAGA as you get for the most part.

Do the enemy number and difficulty scale up with the number of party members?

Nah, cause I’ll forget and end up paying full price for another year.

Yeah I assume the audio will be cleaned up. It’s a half second off in my cut scenes. The loot really is very good so far. It looks cool and it has pretty cool modifiers even at some of the lower levels. I can’t wait to eventually see what the legendary gear does. I feel like that’s when you’ll see modifiers completely change the penal flow. Ive been playing the Technomancer so far and really enjoy it. It’s skills so far are a proximity mine that you toss forward, a turret that does a small amount of damage and can freeze enemies. You can throw that forward as well. And a a mini rocket launcher you place next you you that shoots an ever growing arc of missles forward. The melee attack is a freeze punch that actually has a small AOE. It is the PERFECT little skill for a ranged class as it enables you to get back away from the fight. Id say even as a ranged class I’ve done a mix of sniping from cover and firing on the move. The enemies will try and flank you and a few actually dodge to the right and left when running right at you. I’ve been forced off my spot a number of times. Cover feels more as a rest than a necessity. I LOVE the healing mechanic. I’ve been so close to death a number of times only to have the cool down on my Rocket launcher finish enabling me to pop it and almost fill me health all the way back up. There’s a lot of “phew that was close” moments. Can’t wait to be able to dig even further into these skills and abilities.

Diablo 3 says what’s up

Still not gonna sign up for Paramount +

Yeah sure I’ll absolutely watch that

Nah not really. What seemed to happen was early reviewers rushed through the game and then when they got to Siege mode at the end they were way under leveled. If you played that game like a normal person would, you never had to grind a single thing.
