March PS+ Games Final Fantasy VII Remake Farpoint (VR game) Remnant: From The Ashes Maquette

Not really sure i'm enjoying what I played so far. I finished what I think is the prologue, and met up with the Grand Marshall. I could never really get into cover shooters, so I don't think this is for me. The shooting feels sluggish compared to something like Destiny, which gets it so right, and the camera movements during the 30fps cutscenes were making me sick. I'll give it another shot when I can play it with other people, but as of right now, I think i'm going to pass.

Man, what a powerful episode this week. Not a lot of action, but still real great stuff. There's a mid-credits scene in this one as well, so stick around. The scene with Wanda looking at Vision's torn apart body, and the scene where she rebuilds him had me on the verge of tears. I lost my dad when I was real young, so it was real hard to watch those scenes. Seeing someone you care about in a state where you can't do anything to help them, and then getting the chance to see them again...powerful stuff. It really hit close to home. So now we know Wanda didn't actually take Vision's body, SWORD had it the entire time. Seeing his body at the mid-credits scene was pretty crazy, can't say I expected that. There's no way that's actually him though...like, it's his body, but it won't have anything of what made Vision who he was. I think there's only one episode left, i'm wondering how exactly they're going to tie everything together. Also Kathryn Hahn is fucking amazing, I love her so much. Edit: Something I saw on reddit just now made me think, Wanda's going to have to kill Vision again, isn't she? That's going to fucking destroy her. Edit 2: Hayward is Mephisto, that's my prediction.

If you look closely, you can tell the footage of Tom as he walks past the whiteboard (after he crosses in front of the title) isn't the same as the rest, which makes me think they really didn't want him giving away the title before it was too early.

No more work will be done on what was supposed to come next with Anthem

He's gonna be a commentator on another AEW Dark show that'll air Mondays on Youtube. Lots of real good jokes in the reddit thread about it. My favorite is how he should randomly switch between coming out of the face tunnel and the heel tunnel.

An unfinished prototype of an N64 game, Dinosaur Planet (which became Star Fox Adventures on the Gamecube) got leaked and is playable on real hardware. From what I understand it works in emulation, but there it's kinda wonky.

Huge spoiler below!

I'm wondering what that book was in Agatha's basement. My first thought was the Darkhold, which I only really know of through Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and a run in the Carnage/Venom comics, so I'm not really sure. Edit: Someone on reddit pointed this out during the Wanda credits Edit 2: Stan Lee cameo....sort of.

1 and 2 were, I don't remember hearing good things about 3, so I never tried it. You're dead to me.

Finally, the true villain of the show has been revealed! Agnes is: Agatha muthafuckin' Harkness. Also damn that cliffhanger! Edit: ALSO there is a mid-credits scene in this one, between the fancy credits and the regular ones. I found that out from the reddit thread.

Hey, I too am one of the rare fans of Skyward Sword, and I still didn't give a shit that that was all we got. ?

Mom had her second shot on Thursday, she felt fine for most of the day, then felt not so great Friday. Called her this morning and she was doing better, so hopefully that's the worst of it.

I think the Fox deal is too new for that to happen. They could've done reshoots I'm sure, but I don't think they'd go that route just yet.

The theory i'm seeing is that it's a way to show that magic can't bring people back from the dead, which makes some sense but when I think about it, the kid in the commercial wasn't able to get the Yo Magic yogurt open and then he died. He didn't die after ingesting it, so who knows. Edit: Just saw someone mention in the reddit topic who Monica's friend might be...Adam Brashear. Comic spoilers, I guess.

Wow, so this was a big one. I loved the Malcolm in the Middle-esque intro, and the shift in tone to more recent comedy was a nice touch. I was kind of hoping in the recap, when they showed the footage of Pietro dying back in AoU that they'd have replaced Pietro in that with the actor playing him now. I also wonder if he's actually Pietro, or if he's just someone SWORD sent in to keep tabs on Wanda, and for some reason she just turned that guy into a version of her brother. He doesn't seem to remember things the way she does (if at all) and is asking a lot of questions. I got a good laugh out of Vision's costume being a mexican wrestler, although it was kind of odd that he talked about fighting crime when he told Wanda he was doing neighborhood watch stuff. It was also pretty crazy seeing Wanda expand the hex, and seeing things change to fit the Westview narrative, although I feel real bad for those agents that got turned into clowns, that's a fate worse than death if you ask me. I was kinda hoping they'd show what happened to Darcy, though. I'm also wondering just who this person Monica is supposed to be taking Jimmy to see. My first thought would be Dr. Strange, as the rumor is that this sort of leads right into that movie, but she makes it sound like he's a scientist or something along those lines. I'm also wondering if Monica's multiple trips in and out of the hex are what are giving her the powers she'll have in the future? Edit: Oh, and what the fuck was up with that ad? Creepy as hell. I'm starting to think the rest will be dark, too.

I saw someone else point this out, and I didn't notice it in episode 5. Look at Wanda's shirt, specifically the pocket. Her pocket flannel is in the shape of an X. Most flannel shirts, as far as I can tell, don't change the pattern for the pocket. This has to be intentional, right?

I know this isn't in the theme of this topic, but I keep seeing the title and thinking it's for me before I remember that's not my name any more

I'd say so, I had a good time with it.
