God that movie was fantastic. Really good cap to this whole thing. That final fight felt really good overall. I don't know if they will focus too much on any alternate realities that may have formed off of this unless they DO go with the Kang thing and even then they won't be a focus. I also don't see them trying to find ways to feature people that are gone since the point kind of seemed like it was to get rid of them so they wouldn't be in movies going forward. Things can change obviously and maybe some of them will want to do a cameo here and there but I don't expect anything big. I think we will see some focus on the 5 year gap with the next phase they do though. I read an article at some point in the past month that mentioned that some of the next movies will be set "in the past" which could easily just mean that. Though it could also mean that you're completely right so who knows. I just think a heavy alternate reality theme might push it a bit for a lot of people in terms of movies. People like us would eat it up, but I know people that already have a hard time following all of this. Push any harder and they might finally break it. Maybe they'll use the shows they're doing to put some focus on this stuff? With Loki being a feature for one it seems possible. Mostly I just feel like too heavy of a focus on the alternate timeline stuff will be a too much for a lot of people, but if anyone can pull it off they can I guess. XD One thing I really liked about this movie is we got a bunch of little (or big) comic references that were really nice (thought they're usually pretty good about these). Hawkeye's daughter in training. Wonder if they'll use her for a Kate Bishop stand-in for the MCU?, Clint going full Ultimate universe Hawkeye, "Hail Hydra" , etc.

God I fucking hate comics sometimes. Was catching up on some stuff I had piling up and saw an add for "Magnificent Ms. Marvel" in one and then it dawned on me that I hadn't seen Ms. Marvel the past couple months on my list. >_< STOP CHANGING YOUR FUCKING TITLES YOU FUCKS. Or at least do it in a way that doesn't fuck over the people that actually want to buy the shit. I had this problem back when The Dark Tower was still running too. Every story arc the 'subtitle' on the comic would change and it would count it as a COMPLETELY different title and I'd end up missing shit if I didn't think about it.

Well now I HAVE to share one. Be warned, probably not safe for anyone.
-
I take it you haven't seen any videos from Til Lindemann's other band then? XD Rammstein's videos (with a few notable exceptions) are almost tame compared to those.
-
Saturday for me. Bought tickets like 2 or 3 weeks ago to make sure I got the seat I wanted. Between my family and some friends we bought out nearly an entire row in the theater. XD
-
Neat. Wish I had more patience for messing with this kind of thing. Side note for those that don't know, the Archive event is going now which is their yearly pve event that they add to each time. Fun if you're interested in the story at all.
-
However weird it looks from the trailer, you have no fucking idea. XD
-
Trying to catch up on a backlog of movies I have saved up and recently watched "Sorry to Bother You". Trailer made it seem like a relatively interesting standard comedy/cultural commentary sort of thing and it started that way but with a bit of an absurdist bend to it. Almost felt like a cross between Idiocracy and Scarface. XD And then the movie gets fucking WEIRD. >_> Was good overall, but they did a damn good job of not giving away much from the trailers. Was kind of refreshing.

Just did the new Stronghold. Was a lot of fun. Really liked the setting and the feel of size of it. Felt a little light on enemies, and we really need an Outlaw based stronghold. At least it wasn't more Scars though. Lot of interesting visuals to the place. The feeling of coming up into the boss chamber really sells one of the things I love most about this game.
-
Yeah I saw people bitching about episode 2 especially with people calling it underwhelming even. I don't understand it. Sure, nothing "happens" but we NEEDED these episodes. They are everything. Wrapping up the nessecary awkward reunions/meet ups and then watching all these great characters contemplate their journeys and come to terms with expected imminent death was narrative gold.
-
Yeah, lots of good stuff on there it looks like. Can also start contracts straight out of the mission select screen instead of having to pick them up in the fort, and can launch a new mission straight out of the mission completion screen instead of having to load into the fort or launch bay first. That will keep the flow going a lot better during end game play. A few bug fixes I've been waiting on for a long time too. A few little quality of life things too, including projectiles now pass through friendly javeline's. No more fat ass Colossus walking in front of you just as you throw a grenade and having it bounce off their fat ass. Doesn't look like they're going to keep up with their roadmap though. Was hoping to see their Mastery System that was set for this month since it's supposed to be an "expanded progression" system (assuming something like the Paragon system in D3). Trying to not play too much until that's in now that I've done all the main and side quest stuff. Just been doing dailies for the Elysian Keys and to stock up on coins in case the store has something interesting.

These have been the best 2 episodes of fuck all happening in a TV show I have ever seen in my life. I don't even care what happens next.
-
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by it and really want to see a sequel. Movie had some pacing and tone issues, but you can tell the people working on it actually gave a shit and wanted it to do well. Changes from the original story were understandable, and as much as Hardy's version of Brock is a bit of a departure from the character (less so with how he is now in the comics I guess), I really liked how he played him regardless of the fact.
-
I never used to get Omnibus and graphic novel stuff, but started giving in. Trying to keep it to strictly Venom and Carnage shit though which I'm managing pretty well. As such, I'll probably be eyeballing that Venom one myself. XD I used to have a pretty big pull list, but I've weeded out a lot of shit anymore because Marvel is being retarded again. Can't even be bothered to download most of what I used to read anymore. As of right now I only get: Amazing Spider-man, Miles Morales: Spider-man, Superiror Spider-man, Venom and Ms. Marvel. I look through everything each month though in case something catches my eye (usually Spider-man related stuff that pops up here and there).

And/or ridiculous digital media specific taxes.
-
Yeah. I'm worried Sony will get a big head and fuck things up. The deal was for 5 movies total and that will be up after Endgame and FFH. ? They will hopefully just renew the current deal and call it good, but you never know.
-
Or, you know, Sony. Since it's their movie and their decision. Marvel just produces for the standalone Spider-man movies (and I think they have merchandising rights). Sony 100% finances, distributes, and rakes in the box office revenue for them.
-
This is the "Skywalker" saga though. It all ties into that and started with his machinations and it would be fitting to see it end with the culmination of them. Next trilogy should be a different thing entirely. The one being done by the Game of Thrones show runners is going to be set in the Old Republic according to an article I had read. Hope that's true because that's a really under utilized era in the new canon.
-
I am cautiously optimistic. Respawn is basically EAs golden child right now, and they know how do a good story, so I have more hope for this than I probably should. XD

Same. Thought it was pretty obvious who it was.

It serves as a decent explanation but doesn't account for

Lazy so not posting as much as you. Case: Corsair Vengeance Series C70 CPU: Intel i7-4790K Devil's Canyon Quad-Core 4.0 GHz Motherboard: ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO Graphics Card: ASUS GeForce GTX 970 RAM: G.SKILL Sniper Series 16GB DDR3 Hard Drives: 1 250GB SSD, 1 2TB HDD, 1 1TB HDD. Everything else is relatively plain stuff. Old HP monitor hold over from my prebuilt HP computer (these things are built to last. My wife's she had from before I met her is still running like new). Same with keyboard. Have a Razer DeathAdder for mouse. Desk and top of my computer are a giant mess right now so no pictures. XD Have to replace video card though. Can't play games right now because my computer will shut down after like an hour of playing. Thought it might be power supply but switched out card with my wife's for a day and it ran games all day with no problem so need to save up and get a new one before I can do PC gaming anymore I guess.
