The wife and I are going to a brand new movie for the first time in forever in about an hour to see Bohemian Rhapsody thanks to buying some T-Mobile codes to get $4 tickets. As a huge Queen fan I can't wait even though I'm sure it's going to be "Hollywood-ed" up a bit.
Every time I see ads for that movie, I imagine a very alpha male bro going to see that movie and then half way into the movie "Yeah, Freddie Mercury got this shit down. Hey. Hey wait. Why is he getting close to that guy? Wait. He isn't really going to... Oh my God. OH MY GOD! YOU MEAN HE'S GAY???"

Cabin in the Woods. If you haven't seen it, don't watch trailers or anything and just go straight to watching it.
 
Have been playing NBA 2K19 for a while and it would sometimes just freeze for no reason, usually when press pause. Thought it might be that game so I tried other games. I tried WWE 2K16 and 17, both did not start, Farm simulator which loaded up and when I go to gameplay I pressed pause and when I pressed it again it froze a few seconds later. I did try an arcade puzzle match game which had no problems at all. Last I tried Jurassic World Evolution disc and it did not load.

I restart Xbox and WWE 2K16 started, but had some sync problem. But it did start and I managed to get into gameplay without syncing and no problems playing. NBA 2K19 start up and no problems.

First time last night I tried with other games, usually I only just restart NBA 2K19 and is good to go again.

Only really started with these problems when I started NBA 2K19. A few times I would get to a point in Mycareer and quit and reload, and if I did this multiple times it would eventual freeze. Could this be the issue, or should I be worried my Xbox One is failing?

I have an Xbox One X which I have had for about a month, maybe 2.

Yeah. And even then, a lot of folks are complaining about how the film portrays his sexuality - he's clearly bisexual but it's apparently pretty peripheral to the film, even though he was one of the biggest LGBT icons of the 1980s and died from the AIDS epidemic.

Supposedly,
the film doesn't even portray his death from AIDS, even though it shows their benefit performance to raise money/awareness.

Sacha Baron Cohen was originally cast to play Mercury but quit the film because he felt the script didn't represent him well. I still want to see it, but will probably wait until it's cheap or streaming.

I Kinda wish there was a third party "Making of..." for the movie already. Since I heard Sacha Baron Cohen wanted to get right to the gritty dirt of everything and focus more on Freddie Mercury and his personal life, but the surviving members of Queen had the final say and didn't sound comfortable with that. Then the hiring of Bryan Singer whom while filming was having what sounds like a complete breakdown and getting into fights with Rami Malek and other cast members and constantly changing things before saying his mother was "allegedly" sick and dropping the project.

And I'm assuming the end of the movie Freddie becomes a Highlander and "Prince's of the Universe" starts playing. Or at least I hope that's how it ends, because the first minute of that song is the most bad ass opening minute of any song ever.

And that alone will make it better than Highlander 2: The Quickening, Highlander: The Final Dimension and Highlander: The Source.

Yes, I consider Endgame to be the only decent sequel. I'm dying on that hill :whistle2:

 
Black Friday ads are leaking. Scanning through the Target one, I'll prolly get Wolfenstein II & Star Wars Battlefront II for $15 each. Best Buy and Wal-Mart ads are always the best, so Wolf and Battlefront could go lower.
SWBF2 is $15 at BB this week. $11 with GCU and in-store pickup.
 
Stupid Microsoft Rewards promotion won't accurately count the number of times I've been to Xbox Live. Now how am I supposed to get out of the cave of whatever and earn my one thousand points?
I've been logging on daily via Xbox and browser. Sitting at 14/15 for Moon Gate with 3 days left. Not uncommon for it to not track for 3, 4 or 5 days.

I saw it and even though it may be “toned down”, it’s very clear that he’s bisexual and is shown kissing men right in the film. The part in the spoiler is correct but it is acknowledged just not showing in graphic detail.

That said I really enjoyed the film and I think the film by and large is a celebration of the music, with the entire Live Aid set being included. And as I said the sexuality I would say is still a major part of the film if “sanitized” possibly to earn a PG-13 rating.

Side note: I was at Live Aid in Philadelphia and still remember even the Queen performance being shown on the big screens as we switched back and forth between the two venues. And the movie does an excellent job even making you feel like it was in the crowd (though I was at the Philly side).

IMAX is worth it for those concert scenes!

Sure she's accepted your gaming habits, but has she even seen your full potential as a bad joke teller yet? Do YOU even know how far you can go??? :)

 
Blizzcon Opening ceremony happening. Not much Xbox releated news. Warcraft III Remaster, new original character for Heroes of the Storm, new expansion for Heartstone, Diablo mobile game, real life Lucio-O's cereal. It's still going so maybe more.  Whoop, it's over, that's it. Pretty lame to end on the mobile game. Overwatch League stuff going on now, the rest of Blizzcon requires a paid thing to view.

New Overwatch short:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-7q137HS7I

New Overwatch Hero:

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

At least one more character from the short is going to be a character eventually.

People looked real bummed on the stream. Lucky for me I've never played a Diablo so no disappointment here.

(should I play a Diablo?)

 
No, but I read just choosing restart in the settings of the Xbox is the same thing, as both clear the cache.
Just saying, I'd pull the plug and maybe even leave it unplugged for a few seconds so when you boot it back up you see the Xbox One X splash screen with the 4k chip and what not.

They're worth checking out, but a lot of the appeal is the loot grind more than the setting and characters. At least that's what all the hardcore players seem to care about. If you want a free taste of the genre, check out Path of Exile. It's basically a free-to-play version with the good cosmetic-only microtransactions like Fortnite.

I've only played D3, I wish it had traditional twin-stick controls, instead you do movement and aiming on the left stick and only have a dodge roll on the the right.

Unrelated but Destiny 2 is free to keep on PC for a couple weeks. It has to been coming to GWG soon, as it's be PS+, Humble Monthly, and now this.

That would be cool, but it has PS exclusive content, right? I'd hope they wouldn't include any kind of block from making it free on xbox as part of the deal. I've been flip flopping every time it goes on sale and was hoping it would be a decent price on black friday/digital monday digital sales.

 
Destiny 2 must have bombed badly if they’re giving it away for the second time since launch
In addition, the Forsaken expansion sales must've been way below their expectations as well. They are doing another (third one so far) free-to-play weekend for the Gambit game mode in November. Lol.

That's the thing what you're getting is Destiny 2 just the base game they released 2 years ago, they basically have been giving it away for free since the Forsaken Expansion that's in the $59.99 with the two other DLC packages.

 
Just saying, I'd pull the plug and maybe even leave it unplugged for a few seconds so when you boot it back up you see the Xbox One X splash screen with the 4k chip and what not.
And for good measure, press the power button a few times while the console is unplugged to discharge any remaining electrical current.

Supposedly if you already own the base game for PC you'll get an exclusive emblem but I haven't read that anywhere yet. *dives back into the internet*

I've watched a fair amount lately as Binge Mode pod goes through their analysis. And savagery on each movie.


Yes, play Diablo. The under 20 you'll likely be able to get it for soon is a fantastic deal. Console version is plenty fun and feels different than PC version.
 
I need help on getting a new TV. I have a 55" 3D Visio that's 6 years old now. I want to jump on the 4k train but not sure about all the HDR stuff. I've seen HDR 10 and Dolby vision HDR. What gives? I want to stay the same size for the most part and have $600 budget. Been looking at 2 different ones. What do yall think?

Both have Dolby Vision (and HDR10), so either is a win. The nearly $200 difference is the CCZ Technology. The 6 series is better, but $200 better? Your call on that. Either will be an upgrade from your Viz.

Plus...wait a few weeks

I have a 5 series and only have a couple minor complaints (don't know if they were changed for the 6 series), but overall am very happy with it. Wish I had splurged for the 6 series but I'm not beating myself up over it.  From what others have said in the past, if the extra $200 won't break the bank, it's worth it.
 

 
I have the 607 (same TV other then bezel and remote).  Great TV for the price.  I agree to wait a few weeks though and see what it goes on sale for.

With all the Dolby Vision mess with the XBox one X, not many TV's fully supporting it (TCL included even if they mentioned working on some solution) is it good to spend on a TCL now (come Black Friday if a great deal comes) or just look in to TV's that actually support all the bells and whistles even if they are a bit more pricey? According to their list of supported TV's there are some LG and Sony that are not that much more from the TCL but they support the Dolby Vision from the X.
