I'm fucking digging this so far.  Also clearly David Aja's designs all over the DNA of this show too.  Hoping they give him so more money since so far it seems like he got jack shit.

The story though, I like that they're mixing it up a bit so it's not exactly the same so the characters fit a little more into the MCU.  In the comic Hawkeye was kind of a fuckup and Kate was the one holding shit together but they sort of flip flopped this since MCU Hawkeye is an actual legit adult who knows what he is doing.

Also ep 3 spoiler:

Love they named Pizza Dog finally lol.  I like that they didn't just drop the character.  I really loved this newest episode somewhat adapting that silent issue of the comic.  This series is definitely a huge love letter to the comic.  Not exactly the same but pretty much as close as you could get.

Also I am really liking Echo so far. I haven't actually read the comics with her but I like.

Yeah I had very little interest going into it but I thought they did a very good job. The choreography was amazing. Was kind of leaning back until that bus scene and they had my attention after that. Definitely some flaws here and there but fun enough to not really care at the end.

Same.  Interest in this was fairly meh but I ended up going anyway as I saw more about it and the movie was really fun.  Well done movie truly. 

Oh man keep this shit rolling in.  I just really want them to fire Kotick but the company is so shitty I really don't think anything would ever REALLY change.

I'm really sorry to hear that @Galeigh.  God it has just been nonstop for you lately. 

I'm super excited we have a date and a trailer already.  Fuck yes.  Looks like 2099 is going to be a big part of this too.  Hell yes.

Also VERY curious about the fact that it's part 1.  I have a sneaking suspicion that:

I cannot wait.  Hawkeye and then this.  LET'S DO IT.

Hah yeah this generation with the whole "leap to 3D" was never going to age super well imo.  I've looked back at old PS1 games too and have been like jesus christ what the fuck.

It'd be real sad if Nintendo couldn't get their own controllers correct. Also, you should see about getting the Japanese Genesis controllers for that hot 6 button action.

I actually specifically wanted a 3 button.  I had to settle for 6 button ones a while back which I also still have.

Got these bad boys today.  Unfortunately I can't pair them to my 8bitdo adapter in Android right now but they work fine in Windows so I dicked around with some N64 games on the PC for a bit.  Controller definitely feels right.

That's exactly why he came to mind.

Fucking loved Burn Notice.  Hell Jeffrey Donovan could be Nate!

Pretty much any gray haired guy who seems shifty and is kind of funny.  Hell they could cast Bruce Campbell to play Sully if they wanted.  That would probably work.

Looks cool. The color thing was interesting, wonder if it's just for the trailer. 

Was thinking the same thing.  If the SHOW was actually like that, holy shit that would be incredible.  Somewhat reminiscent of all the weird shit they did in Scott Pilgrim.  

Hammerdin is a super easy to build high level build.

I actually have not REALLY played Necro, Amazon, Druid, or Assassin in my years.  I started with a Barb, went to a sorc, then eventually tried a Hammerdin.  Should probably try an Amazon for reals at some point too.  Druid and Assassin just never really interested me that much.  Maybe I'll make a run at Druid though.  I played a LITTLE of every class but I've only made it to hell runs with a few.

Movie looks pretty great but I'm not in love with the casting.  Still, I think it'll end up being pretty good.

I might start a Hammerdin at some point as well.  That class was crazy as shit.

Oops yeah I meant year haha.  Price jump was horrendous though.  If it went to 80 a month that would truly be horrific.

Jump to 80 a month from 35 is fucking horrendous.  I've got like 6 others on my account I'mma be hitting up for money if we're going to do this but JUST for N64 and Genesis roms...

I did buy the Genesis and N64 controllers happily though.  I'm totally down for having those.

God damn it.  Get online and play with us!

Split into a new topic since the D4 topic became the D2R topic.  

We finished Act 2 NM last night.  I still definitely need a little more oomph on my dude because certain types of packs are absolutely fucking up my summons (those electric bugs absolutely decimate in bigger packs).  I did make sure to get that first level of added resistance for my summons but that only goes so far.  Also did some Normal Cows for fun hah.  Got a few runes from that at least.

Also @dr. b what is your battletag again?

Happy birthday dude.

Enjoyed it for the most part.  I want them to really go for it a little more with these things and I want them to go for the full hour so they get fleshed out.  I feel like they're really doing them a disservice by cutting off so early with such short episodes.  I don't need an entire season for every story but give it a little breathing room!

Last episode was of course very cool.

Keep a Clay Golem out there against Diablo to take the heat off your skeletons, just keep recasting it when Diablo kills him. For some reason Diablo loves to target the Golem. It’s a great distraction.  

Gigantic ring of fire was completely destroying them pretty quick haha.  I was a bit under leveled because I've been playing with @h2ojunkie like 10 levels above me.  

Yeah I never spent a lot of time with the Necro in D2 back in the day.  Playing him in D3 is part of what made me want to do it in D2 and I'm glad.  This shit has been great.  Except when Diablo fucking smashed all my skeletons in a few hits.  

Been watching that right now as well.  Show is really good.  It definitely isn't like the other CW shows.  It was made in a completely different way with actual good writing and I'm liking it.

Definitely enjoying them not making Superman so fucking grimdark.  This is the kind of shit I WANT to see!

I've also abandoned the other CW shows (Flash, Supergirl, Legends, Batwoman).  I can't take it anymore.  They're garbage and we have such better shows now.

Doom Patrol has started up as well.  Can't wait to finally watch that.

David gave me most of the waypoints then I went running around to try and tryhard doing all the quests like an idiot.  Act 3 honestly has some of the worst ones that are basically fucking wander aimlessly until some random guy appears and you kill him.  Christ.  Though I will say, playing Act 3 as a Necro is like a fucking magical experience.  I just stand there and never get hit by all those little fuckers.  I always remember how fucking hard they would hit when I played Barb or Sorc.  This is nice.
