The return of a certain El Jefe

A lot of the levels are small enough that you could finish one or two in a short sitting, and then continue playing later.

New reaction image just dropped

I absolutely loathe the thumbnails they use for these, but this is pretty fucking great.

The trailer is age restricted, so just go watch it here. Not really sure what I was expecting, but i'm kinda underwhelmed. Guess I can't get past the whole "we need a new character who's an audience surrogate" thing.

They rehired Eva Marie. This company has fucking lost it.

Had a sore arm, but other than that I got away unscathed.

Getting my second shot tomorrow at 11AM, grabbing some Tylenol and a bunch of gatorade while i'm in the store. Fingers crossed for a non-terrible reaction.

Finally got around to finishing Zack Snyder's Justice League. I ended up watching it in parts, and overall it's definitely better than the first version, although that's not saying a whole lot. The scene with Leto's Joker was...fine, I guess? The version he portrays in this is 1000x better than the one in Suicide Squad, but he's still not doing the Joker justice. Granted, it's only a few minutes.

Not going to add this to my official list, but I beat Doom 64 with cheating on the end boss. I got through everything else but that without cheats. The boss was ridiculously overpowered, with rockets that fly as fast if not faster than you can run and they home in on you, and another flame attack that will knock you into the air and kill your momentum, so you can get gangbanged by the rockets. There were a few places to hide, but even if I managed to round a corner between me and one of the many rockets, the splash damage would kill me. I was enjoying the game up until that point.

I'm sad they killed off Batroc, it was nice having a lower level villain around.

Pretty good finale, wrapped things up and left things open for a season 2. Seeing Sam in his full Captain America suit took a while to grow on me, but I liked it for the most part. Only thing I could've done without is the part that comes up from the shoulders and behind his head. I originally thought it all looked a bit bulky, but then the more I looked at it, the more it reminded me of Rogers' suit in Winter Soldier, but with different colors. Walker redeemed himself a bit there, abandoning his revenge quest to save the people in that armored truck. He seemed to have calmed down since the hearing that stripped him of the Captain America title. It was funny to see his shield get beat up so easily. It just sounded like garbage. When Batroc showed up to shoot the smoke grenades down, I was thinking we'd get a Power Broker reveal, but nope. Sharon being the Broker isn't a huge shock, they pretty much set it up and made it obvious. I'm definitely looking forward to a potential second season. Hell, they could even give Sam his own movie and i'd be down for that too.

The movie was okay, nothing special. Go in with low expectations and you'll be fine. Fights were alright, fatalities were awesome. Acting is bad, plot is ok. They brought in some characters I didn't expect. Them trying to shoehorn lines from the game (flawless victory, fatality) etc. was fucking dumb too. At least the few times they did it in the original MK movie it made slightly more sense (I only really remember Shang Tsung saying it after one of the fights). They definitely leave things open for a sequel, but I can't say I'm interested. Kano was the highlight for me, but I can see how he can be considered a bit much.

In this week's TWAB, they outline the new transmog system, with three different currencies for some odd reason.

Patton Oswalt as M.O.D.O.K is hilarious.

I imagine Activision wanted Overwatch 2 out faster than Jeff did.

I'm not hearing good things, I guess it's been out in Europe for a few days now. Seeing people say that the fight scenes aren't well shot, and have too many cuts. ?

Jeff Kaplan leaving the Overwatch team Bit of a bummer.
