Huh, definitely not what I was expecting either. I'm down for it though. Let's do this shit.

The actual story of Infinite is finding out what the fuck was happening in a sense. I didn't mind that it felt like I missed something even though for most of the game I was like....is this what happened in Halo 5???

Kind of feel the opposite. I was liking it with the beginning stuff (back story on Boba and seeing why he has changed was really rewarding imo) and then expanding it out to start wandering around the Star Wars universe was actually really awesome. It might be they did not have THAT much for Boba to do but also consider a couple episodes in Mando dealt with him too so it's kind of a back and forth. All in all, I was entertained. I enjoyed it. I liked the journey for Boba Fett coming back from being scumbag and I like that this last episode shows he's still got it. Watching him fuck up Cad Bane was satisfying.

I doubt it does the job. That game was poop. At least Halo Infinite was interesting. I actually had fun with that game. I've definitely never watched any of the Halo media though. Is any of it ACTUALLY good?

HBD SLIX!! Whatcha got going on today?

I just read about that too. I'm honestly surprised they did that. And it really did look shockingly good. I've really enjoyed this shit. I'm wondering if they put these episodes in to actually set up season 3 of Mando. This show has kind of just turned into a general Star Wars show and I'm honestly into it.

I really do not like how Cortana looks at all. There is some serious fucking uncanny valley shit going on there and the design is just unnerving a bit in general. I'm used to her being blue or purplish. Seems like a really arbitrary thing to change. Other than that, interesting. Wondering if the "human" with the covenant just TAKES that form. Saw weird tentacles like the Gravemind thing from Halo 2. Maybe it's supposed to be that or some other thing that is just taking human form (she does say something about "HUMANS" at one point). Definitely not getting Paramount+ for this though.

Also really surprised we just got a whole Mando episode out of nowhere. Really enjoying this show. It's not perfect but it's just comfy Star Wars watching. Seeing Mando wielding the Darksaber was fun and you get to see his next little quest (probs next season).

HBD Xylus.

Fire Kotick, fix all the bullshit at those companies (most of management) and that would at least be somewhat of a positive. I do not love what a huge portion of gaming Microsoft owns now after that though. On their way to becoming like Disney in the gaming space.

1. Halo Infinite Surprisingly fun campaign. The story is pretty much the usual Halo fare though I did find some aspects of it (specifically the Cortana stuff) legitimately interesting. I'm not sure if there's context missing because I didn't play Halo 5 or if they designed the game in that way, but the mystery there was intriguing for me. Also the grapple hook is probably the best thing to happen to Halo. I fucking loved that shit. Some of the game outlets were a little ridiculous calling it like the best game / Halo ever or whatever kind of shit but it's definitely better than Halo 5 and I kind of enjoyed the open world. It was fun to have a little control over how I approached missions....like hovering out of range from the target enemies and needling their health down with the USMC hover copter thing.

I played a few hours of that Avengers game and while the story is interesting, it's not really that unique and the gameplay is just SO bland that I think I'm just gonna bail and play something I have more fun with rather than trying to force my way through this to finish the story. I figured I have Game Pass so I might as well do it and I'm just kinda meh on it. I might just go play GotG instead since that's supposed to actually be fun.

Bottom third for me, not the worst but firmly in the category of "this should have been a TV show." I think it suffered immensely by not having enough space to spread out.

It's pretty accurate. https://screenrant.com/matrix-4-resurrections-warner-bros-joke-meta-response/

I read that the actual reason they replaced Hugo Weaving as Smith was literally just scheduling conflicts. Like holy shit, you should have just made that shit work. Unbelievable lol. As I said in the other thread, overall definitely just a big meh. It's probably the 3rd best one because the 3rd movie was absolute garbage. I really felt like the entire plot of the movie was like an episode of a TV show that went on for WAY too long. Like we didn't get the real story, it was basically just filler. Supposedly there are somehow MORE of these they're hoping to make....and I'm....confused about that but I guess we'll see?

They kept his face open because quite frankly, Dafoe is terrifying without it and he wanted to be able to actually emote. I actually was fine with it. Initial reaction to posters was oh that looks weird, but I actually enjoyed that in the end.

Musical was funny and then it went on way too long. I'd give the show an 8/10 overall I think. I enjoyed it quite a bit but some of that also comes from my love of the comic lol.

Also just watched the new Matrix. Movie felt kind of pointless. 6 or 7 at most? I feel like nothing particularly interesting happened because Fell pretty flat for me.

So I got this on Game Pass and just beat it last night. Not bad. Story was iffy though I did kind of like it somewhat. The grappling hook was a very welcome addition to the gameplay. Really glad to have that, I got to do all kinds of fun stuff. You can grapple bad guys even and eventually unlock something where you fucking slam and stun them. And you can grapple guns to you....and grapple yourself into vehicles (I stole many a Banshee this way). I'm really excited I got to play it for 2 bucks lol but I did enjoy it. Going to use my Game Pass next to play Avengers probably and then who knows. There's some other shit in here too.

Omnibus should be the same shit, just more expensive since it's out of print. If they ever do a reprint (and they may), you could scoop that up too (if you want me to keep an eye out let me know). TPB Contents: Collecting HAWKEYE (2012) #1-22 and ANNUAL #1, and YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #6 Omni Contents: Collecting HAWKEYE (2012) #1-22 and ANNUAL #1, and YOUNG AVENGERS PRESENTS #6 So yeah literally the same contents lol. And yeah, fuck single issues. I'm going to sell basically ALL of mine in 2022. Can't do it anymore. It's HC/Omni or a digital read.

Could get that here: https://www.cheapgraphicnovels.com/product.php?productid=74177&cat=&page=1 Save a few bucks but there will be a wait since they have to order it. The omnibus is out of print currently so you aren't getting that until a reprint or if I'm able to somehow find you one somewhere magically. I don't think you're that into "collecting" comic shit anyway though so that thick TPB should be good enough (or there are always the old ways ??).

That IS the only reason. It's always the reason. Lol. I guess you could make the argument that this is a good way to get normies to watch anime (same with comic shit). Of course, they need to actually make it GOOD to do that.
