This thread & the feet hahaha. Guess its better than LeBron trying his best to save the baby Lakers or Trump attempting to unify 'Murica/obvious sarcasm

Still hyped for the Mortal Kombat Kast tomorrow. Give us a Kingdom Hearts deal Squeenix. I believe!!!!!

I picked up Hammerwatch and Achtung Cthulhu Tactics. I might play them before the sale ends and post some impressions, but Anthem is taking up a lot of my gaming time with these damn loading screens. In between loading screens, the gameplay and loot grind are legit.
Hammerwatch is a really fun game that is similar to Diablo although much more simple. I own it on PC, but I doubt that I will double dip on it since the Xbox One port costs more than what I paid for it on Steam. But, it's a good game.
 
Damn my impatience. Just bought it like 2 days ago.

I’m thinking about cancelling my Best Buy preorder for DMC 5 and going digital. Even though I had GCU when I ordered, I can get credit for maybe a few dollars more. Sounds awesome.

Only thing I was wondering is if there will be a MS rewards promo for it. The Anthem one ends in a few days. I wish they would retroactively include preorders purchased directly on Xbox in these things.

While we're veering OT, is anyone seeing Bit Brigade on their spring tour? They finally have a new speedrun for Mega Man 3, which is one I didn't think they'd do because of the Doc Robot levels. Seeing both them and Laura Jane Grace next month on tour, pretty excited to have some shows on the horizon. 

 
MKX is having a free weekend this weekend. Something tells me MK9 is not going BC :whistle2:(

I know there's a separate thread for CD Keys deals, but just wanted to point out that they currently have a year of XBL for $39.99. Possibly a buck or two cheaper if you can find a valid 3% code from their Facebook page. Good timing as mine is up next month.

Well, that tweet from GamePass made very clear something is happening with MK. And a free weekend has nothing to do with GP. So still think MK9 is going BC and added to GP as I think the chances of MK11 getting added are remote.

Spoiler alert - MK1 (the SNES version with "sweat" instead of blood) is added to GamePass. Fans, rejoice!

I played the shit ouf that SNES version back in the 90's, would totally do it again. Speaking of the SNES version of MK1, one of Cassie's fatalities seemed like a nod to her dad's censored fatality ;-)

I actively avoid trailers of movies I'm going to see since too many trailers give away half of the movie, and I was always going to see Captain Marvel, anyway. Marvel Studios has never disappointed me, so I go to whatever they put out automatically. Honestly, I see just about every superhero movie in theatres, even the DC and X-Men films. I skipped the Fantastic Four reboot, however. :shame:

Skipping this one, trailers have just been so meh. Also not a fan of Larson or the over the top feminist angle (she’s a her-o!!!), Wonder Woman and Gal Gadot did it much better. Heck so did Alita!

Heads up for people who would also rather skip it the reviews say it has no direct ties to Endgame.
What a weird take. A capable female hero is "over the top feminist"...alright dawg.

 
Something I had seen on the Xbox dashboard: If you watch some of the Apex Legends HypeZone on Mixer you get entered for a chance to win a starter pack.  

https://mixer.com/HypeZoneApexLegends

After about 5 seconds of watching on my browser the little window on the left showed that I was entered, so it looks like you don't have to watch for very long.

 
Of course Bree's feet are going to be dirty: She's too busy kicking asses. Not her fault the haters out there are dirty.

I'm waiting on more reviews until I see Capt. Marvel. I don't usually see Marvel movies in the theater (I'm more a DC guy) but if the praise is high enough I'll check it out instead of renting it on Blu Ray/DVD.

Bit Brigade is playing at pax at the end of the month. I'll have to try and check them out depending on my schedule. I usually try to see at least one musician during the weekend.

Got tickets to see Have Heart at their 10 year reunion. Pumped on that.
 
#ApexLegends

I think Lifeline is cursed for me. I literally played 10 in a row last night with no win, prob a total of 70+ games with lifeline now, still no wins. Then someone picked her before me so I went with Pathfinder for my first time ever and we won, then next game I picked Gibraltar for my first time ever and we won... I’m not sure what’s going on with me and Lifeline, were in a weird relationship now.

The only thing gross that has turned me away from Captain Marvel is them still using the deceased Stan Lee twitter account to promote the movie. Let him RIP you marketing hacks.

Marvel Studios has never disappointed me, so I go to whatever they put out automatically. Honestly, I see just about every superhero movie in theatres, even the DC and X-Men films. I skipped the Fantastic Four reboot, however. :shame:

What a weird take. A capable female hero is "over the top feminist"...alright dawg.
That’s not what he said... and the “feminist” angle he was referring to was Larsen’s comments she has made, and marvel has pretty much told her to stfu cause it was all bad press.

and read the “positive” reviews of the movie, they flat out state it’s not good, but prop it up *because* what it stands for.
I think it was time that absolutely ripped it, and Washington post etc. don’t look at the rating number actually read what they say. “Good thing it’s not meant to be a summer blockbuster, cause it’s not” etc.
ouch.

Like I said I never cared to watch it anyway, and I’ll see it anyway (for free) to see just how bad it ends up being. (Or good for that matter, cause like I said I have zero interest in it anyway)

And I thought we were off the subject and on to her feet?

Here’s the video I watched last night (a few minutes anyway) where the reviews are actually broken down to what they actually said.. not just the score.
At least watch a few minutes, like I said I didn’t even watch it all cause he did kind of bash it, but you’ll see what the reviews even said. Worst villain:boredom, yet still a good score...

I find it sad that someone is an actress, does a great job in various roles and someone picks apart how her feet look. I might get all other body parts but feet is new and beyond ridiculous.

I also hope fanboyism just flat out kills all sci-fi/fantasy/comic book movies or shows. The amount of effort that trolls put into downvoting or discussing every tiny little detail of lord of the rings, Star Wars, marvel, dc etc. they deserve to lose that medium altogether. They can sit and read the hobbit over and over, watch the original trilogy, look at their hermetically sealed comics and die off so the rest of society can then get back to just enjoying shit for what it is. Don’t like it, don’t watch it. No one cares otherwise.
 
I must be out of the loop on Captain Marvel. I think the trailers have been fine, I know Larson leans left and I haven't heard about Marvel telling her to tone it down at all.

Reviews have been middling to thumbs up, but I take most all reviews with a grain of salt. Meh, I'm excited to see it. Tickets for Saturday.

I found this and I find it to be pretty accurate: http://www.pajiba.com/film_reviews/why-are-sexist-creeps-pitting-captain-marvel-against-alita-battle-angel.php

These guys like Alita because she can punch fight real good, and isn't fighting for equality or any "SJW BULLSHIT" like that. Women are allowed to be strong, you see, but only strong in the way that they want (punching), and if you even dare mention white/male privilege, that is SJW trash and I will boycott your movie! You see, male privilege doesn't even exist, because I still live in my mom's basement and that fuckin bitch STILL hasn't brought me down my goddamned pizza rolls I asked for half an hour ago!

I am one of the Star Wars people that complains about the new trilogy. I have every right to complain. The Last Jedi was every bit as awful as we complain that it was. Don't watch it was never an option. In my opinion, the new trilogy is so far so awful, that I went back and watched the prequels and they were more enjoyable than this train wreck. The idea to go with different directors was a HUGE mistake. Ok i am done.

Spoilered for people who don't give a shit-

Yeah, I'm gonna need some proof that Marvel told her to STFU, lol. And I don't see how the problem could be Brie's comments considering he said in another comment that he doesn't know the political leanings of Chris Evans, etc. and that he doesn't factor those things into his decision to see movies. But he can speak for himself if he feels like explaining why the movie is "over the top feminist."

In general, I find it funny that people pretend it's an issue when an actor/actress spouts political views they don't agree with, but conveniently give others a pass if they agree with their views or even if they're just a big enough fan to overlook it. What Brie said wasn't even that big of a deal, but of course it got drowned out by clickbaity headlines and all the rabblerabblerabble of our outrage culture.

The reviews state it's not good, but give the movie good ratings? I'm not seeing that in the positive reviews on Metacritic. At best, you're cherry-picking from a few reviews. And I already said that I see MCU films regardless of reviews/trailers, so I'm not too worried about it. I like to think for myself; I generally don't even look at reviews until after I've seen a movie. I'm mostly interested in genre stuff and critics are not very reliable in those areas.

I wouldn't put too much thought into people complaining about feet, especially when it really has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the discussion. I would say we're barely in the realm of vaguely connected to our wheelhouse discussing a superhero movie, not drilling down into all this other nonsense. I'm pretty sure only people with foot fetishes really care about this specific point. That said, if someone is into feet I don't think it is that different from criticizing other aspects of a body, but in general I don't think that kind of discussion is all that worthwhile beyond "I think this actor/actress is hot or not" or if you have a weird casting choice compared to the traditional appearance of a character like Hugh Jackman as Wolverine.

 
The villain in Capt. Marvel is bad?   Then it sounds like just about every other Marvel movie which means this will do just fine. Honestly, the villains are usually forgettable. Over time people are going to remember Loki and Thanos the most IMO.

Although, to be fair, the villain in Wonder Woman was lame and the movie was still good. If Captain Marvel is developed well like Wonder Woman, then the movie might not be so bad.

Either way, I'm staying home tomorrow and watching Doom Patrol instead.

I don't get this mentality. I love the original Star Wars trilogy, have the theatrical versions on DVD, have the despecialized editions burned to Blu-ray, and I skipped watching Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. I gave Lucas a second chance with Episode II, but not a third. I haven't seen it and never will. I also loved Transformers as a kid, but have never once watched any of the Bay movies. Not seeing stuff is always an option.

 
Anyways, I'm surpised we're still talking about this the next day.

DMC V analysis:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STGlJscl1HA

TL;DR: 

Xbox One X, PS4 Pro, PS4 all pretty much rock solid 60 FPS other than cutscense, with X having the best visuals, and PS4 slight more consistent FPS.

Xbox One S has trouble staying at 60 FPS, appears to float between 45 to 55 FPS in most fights.

Xbox One X: 4k

PS4 Pro: 1800p

Xbox One S and PS4 : 1080p

 
Episode III is probably the only prequel that should be watched if you're skipping any of them. Dialogue is still bad but the movie is not a total disaster like Episodes I and II.

 
Sorry, man.

On a game-related note, anyone ever play those Kemco RPGs that get churned out like they're made on a production line? A couple of them are on sale this week and I like traditional RPGs now and then.
I’ve played a few on mobile. Some are pretty good. Not FF good but fairly solid. Not sure if I’ve played any of the ones on sale.

Might look into whether there are versions of them on mobile to check out first. Many of them have F2P versions that are fairly generous.

The third episode was the best of the original trilogy. My way of boycotting it was that I never bought Episode 1. At least not until many years later when i found an amazing deal on the original trilogy on bluray. I grew up loving those characters, Han, Luke, Leia, Chewbacca, all of them. So I want to see how their stories played out. Han and Luke were almost afterthoughts. Leia was written well.

Agreed. I watched the first transformers but haven’t watched the rest and refuse to watch the new ninja turtle movies. You can be out of the loop or read a synopsis if you have to see what they did but skipping is an option.
 
Bit Brigade is playing at pax at the end of the month. I'll have to try and check them out depending on my schedule. I usually try to see at least one musician during the weekend.

Got tickets to see Have Heart at their 10 year reunion. Pumped on that.
Duuuude. Congrats, I'm jealous. They aren't playing anywhere near me, or else I'd go in a heartbeat. Their 1st album never did it for me, but Songs to Scream at the Sun is still in regular rotation.

 
The prequel trilogy is still better then the new trilogy at least
I Agree with the sentiment of Patton Oswalt that the prequel trilogy was just CSPAN with Halloween masks. So for that I give the edge to the new trilogy even though Last Jedi was a pile of sweaty butts.

 
Captain Marvel looks great, but someone said that she has a square head and looks like a lego person and now that's all i can see XD
For me, I find the mohawk silly. I'm still interested enough to watch the movie eventually (not in theaters though), but I know I'll smirk every time that mohawk appears.
