    I secretly wish for them to keep the Magneto and Professor X actors because they are phenomenal but I'm 110% sure that won't happen.

     

    Still I mean...you've gotta use Magneto but maybe you don't have him be the complete focus of their first outings.  He can be in the world and they can get to him eventually.

    Yes I most definitely wan to see the X-Men hit the ground running.  I think a lot of people want that because we don't want to start completely over (though I don't want everything to have passed by either).  I figure they get a Fantastic 4 movie on their belt, introduce Doom, then we get a new X-Men where the team isn't brand new but they haven't had everything happen (Genosha, Phoenix, etc).  They need to wait a long time before they do a Phoenix movie though obviously. :rotfl:

     

    I'm kinda sad that the Apocalypse movie was kinda meh and the Phoenix movie looks meh because those are 2 fucking great arcs.  Honestly like...the cartoon did both of those better. :shrug:

    Honestly I think they'll go in the other direction and flesh out his nastiness, maybe he's pro-upside-down or attuned or something.

     

    Yeah this is what I'm feeling.  Dude was fucking evil.  There's no redemption for him, it's just going to keep going further, I think.

    The biggest killer feature I've seen so far is that you can basically have save states for the games.  That is fucking awesome.  Just essentially pause it then come back later like a ROM.  Definitely like that.

     

    The rest I dunno.  Streaming has never been great for this.  We will have to see how well Google can actually do this.  I am not REALLY going to care because I have a gaming PC but who knows.

    Wow I talk to you occasionally and I don't think we ever actually went over this.  I'm really glad you actually posted this.  Lol.  That is cool as shit.  That must keep you very busy!

     

    Also link your blog.  I'll put it in the Quick Links section on the Portal.  Collecting stuff from everyone here over there. :unkeke:

    I am very excited for this.  I fucking love Tarantino and there are so many fucking awesome actors in this.

     

    I read something vague about what it was going to be about but I forgot because it doesn't really matter.  It's a Tarantino movie and it will be good. :D

     

    Saw Hateful 8 in theater.  The whole event thing.  I think I still have the book that they gave out somewhere. :shiny:

    Tell your wife happy birthday!

     

    What else is new in your life?  You got a house right?  Post pics.  Most people returning don't know about any of that! :D

    I thought I'd throw this topic out for a general "where is..." or "how do you..?" kind of deal and that I'd start it off with a few things in particular you might notice that are different.  A lot of you have not been on the forum in a while and may have missed the upgrade I did at the Center.  I'm copying this post from there to lay out the new shit.

     

    Editor Features

     

    Image Embedding

    If you're used to copying and pasting images or pasting links into img tags, know that all you need to do now is paste the link to the image and the board will automatically insert it into your post.  Very convenient.  For example, paste this: 

    https://i.imgur.com/LYreeIu.jpg

    Get this (also you can grab the corners of pictures to resize them if you like :thumbs:):

    Spoiler

    Video Embedding

    Embedding has even more options.  In general, pasting a link to a video or whatever will embed that thing onto the page.  Paste a link to Youtube, wait a second, and the Youtube video will appear in the post editor box for you.

     

    Emoticons

    If you haven't noticed already, emoticons will start filtering after you type the first colon in the emoticon and a few letters.  You can click the emoticon and it will instantly insert it.  Also worth noting...for some inexplicable reason, they're case sensitive.  So that's kind of annoying.  I might make separate ones for colon p and colon P as well as xd and XD for that reason.

     

    Double Click Items in Editor

    You can edit settings for things in the editor by double clicking on them (except for embeds).  I used this to edit the properties of the code box above as well as the properties on an image.  Could be handy.

     

    Quote Embedding

    If you want to quote a post with a quote in it and have both quotes, highlight everything and then use the "Quote This" button to quote it all INCLUDING the quote.  If you just hit the Quote button itself, it will not include the quotes in the post.

     

     

    Activity Feed

     

    Create Activity Streams

    You can create your own custom activity feeds AND then you can set that as the default that appears on the top right of the page next to the nav bar breadcrumb.  Go to Activity > My Activity Streams -> Create New Stream

    While editing your stream there is a button there to make it the default.  This will also translate to the open folder icon in mobile view.  I used the "Follow" buttons at the top of each forum to make a view that only shows topics from forums I followed.  This is good if you don't want to see things from say, the sports forum, all up in your feed.

     

    Manage Followed Content

    Also if you do end up messing with the "Follow" buttons, you can edit all the preferences in one place by going to the user menu up top with your name and going to "Manage Followed Content"
     

    Settings

     

    Avatar

    Change your avatar by going to your profile and clicking the "Profile Photo" image on the bottom left of your avatar.  Not immediately obvious.

     

    Signature

    Change your signature by going to the top left, clicking your name, then going to Account Settings > Signature.  In a stroke of actual logic, there is also a setting here to disable viewing signatures.  You may also hide individual's signatures by clicking the X to the right of the signature area.  You may also hide ALL signatures from the same place.

     

    Notifications

    I recommend taking a look at all your notification settings here.  There are a few new ones and some others got reset (like getting a notification when someone reacts to your posts).

     

    Skin Selector

    Look for "Theme" at the bottom of the forum to change your theme.  I forgot to enable the Nostalgia skin for everyone and just turned that on a few minutes ago. :blush:

     

    Background Image (Nostalgia Skin)

    You can change the background from a blank black background to one of the built in background images by clicking the "Change Background Image" icon at the end of the left side of the top bar.

    Misc

     

    Closing Polls

    I've added the ability for you to CLOSE a poll thereby allowing the topic to remain open but at the same time letting you stop votes in the poll.  I don't not believe this function existed on the older version.

     

    Search

    The new search not allows queries of less than 4 characters.  You can search for short words and have them included and it will even try to branch out and match parts of words or pluralize them.  Should work considerably better.

     

    ISO Button

    This button is used to see all posts in the current topic by the current member.  Extremely useful if we do Mafia.  I created this feature out of thin air!  ENJOY IT!!!

     

     

    That's all I can think of right now off the top of my head.  If you have more questions, ask away.  No requests here, keep those in the other topic.  This is strictly for Q&A and not for spam (let's keep this neat so people can reference it).  I will try to incorporate any additional questions and answers at the top of this post to make it easier for newcomers.

    That all sounds pretty likely and I'm cool with it.  Quantum Realm and Negative Zone don't really have to be separate things.  Reed can still find a way to fly around there eventually. :D
