Also how is Life?

The graphics are good but everything else is ****

Think Alien but with Ryan Reynolds and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Also not a Venom prequel like people thought.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Speaking of movies and theaters, I've been seeing these Boss Baby trailers. While they may make me vomit in my mouth, at the same time I want to check it out just to see how bileworthy it is.

Boss Baby doesnt look that bad, In fact, I think it looks rather enjoyable

 

[praline]

I need a release date now.

 

[Wario Bros.]

That Splatoon 2 run was pretty fun.

But outside of new maps and weapons, I didn't see any real differences compared to Splatoon 1 (not truly a bad thing though).

 

[Coricus]

Got like ten minutes longer than I think they meant to give, hahahaha

Woo!

Spent some time towards the end taking a couple screen captures. There's the underside of this one bridge I think I fell in love with more than I should have, LOL.

Daily reminder that Shaq is based af.

used to go to the Lakers practices completely naked to motivate his teammates to run:

"He would start running around looking for guys to hug. Everybody was trying to get out of the way,” mused former Lakers guard Derek Fisher, who played with O’Neal from 1996 to 2004. “That’s why when I hit that shot in San Antonio in 2004, that’s why we were so good at sprinting off of the court"

 

[ChikoLad]

I did a thing.

Shaq picking up and rocking a pajama-wearing Will Ferrell is all I'll ever need to love him.

Though the shimmy doesn't hurt either. :3
Shaq Fu and Kazaam do though.

The graphics feel slicker, the game can track you inking multiple layers of a stage that are directly on top of each other now when apparently the original wasn't capable of it, existing weapon classes got major usage tweaks.

They didn't cell shade it or turn it gritty, but it looks sequel enough to me. Seems like a lot of the tweaks are polishing things in ways that couldn't happen by patching the original.

I did say not a bad thing, but yeah, there are some improvements I didn't say.

More interested to see what happens in the story mode.

Spla2n: Soy Sauce Invaders

...


I hope the single player is more substantial this time, otherwise it'll be a hard sell for me since online won't be free anymore.
That and the fact that I don't have internet at home anymore anyway.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

The original Wolverine is coming back this year, apparently.

Whether that means Old Man Logan is getting de-aged or the original Wolverine is getting out of his adamantium casing AND his healing factor back, we'll have to see...

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Thanks for the spoilers guys. Now I know Life will be overhyped trash just like The Split.

Good thing I'm still waiting on the Power Rangers.

Also, phones during the movie is a sin. Those who do it deserve to be punished.

Well, you aren't much innocent either considering you smuggled chips and candy from a Dollar Store into the theatre to avoid paying from them like your mother.


So um, yeah.

 

[Coricus]

Cuttlefish died of old age and Marie is now mission control, something about how and why Judd was cloned in a Sunken Scroll somewhere and Callie either shares mission control or takes over at a later point.

I mean I'm totally guessing, but I can see it.

Haven't the faintest clue about the Octarians coming back, though. Did they just leave them to rot in that deteriorating hole, or did the Inklings let them come over after all but DJ Octavio or somebody else has a bitter revenge thing going on? Because if it's the former then the Octarian supporters have a point and we could have avoided this plot, and if it's the latter then someone just needs to stay fresh. Or the Inklings were fine with them coming over but the Octarians had a misundertanding.

. . .

If the Octarians didn't keep removing their own limbs to inflate their population, maybe there wouldn't have been as many population issues to cause the Turf War a century ago in the first place. But what do I know?

Unless spending 20 dollars on candy and popcorn from a theatre is economical, no thanks.

You're lucky they don't check you like at a drive-in, LOL.

You ever been to one of those? They search your car and make SURE you aren't able to have any drinks or snacks except their own.

 

[InsaneAlchemist]

I actually like the movie theater popcorn, it's the only reason I go there at all instead of waiting for the Blu-Ray release of the movie in question. Though they really overprice their snacks and drinks, but I'm usually filthy rich from my summer job of mowing lawns for twenty bucks each service, so meh.

Nope, I doubt I've ever seen a drive-in movie in person around my area. And that would really suck.

I get that the theatres want smooth sailing profits, but I have little time for overpriced snacks you can get from other places.

@PsychoIncarnate

You might find this video interesting.

Weirdly, I haven't seen the Mandela Effect myself. KitKat, Flintstones, Monopoly Man and other examples in the video are all as I remember them.

 

[Erureido]

So for any Fire Emblem fans here that know Ghast, he's recently started a series called "Support Science" where he takes a character and examines whether or not a character is good or not, or will analyze something unique about a character fans might've not known prior, based on his/her support conversations.

Ghast uploaded a new Support Science episode, and it examines Xander. It's worth the watch:

Two things you should know about the video before watching it:
1) Language warning: Ghast occasionally drops some foul language, but it is very minimal.
2) Video contains story spoilers from all three routes.

It was a very interesting episode overall. He argues that Xander is two different characters: Support!Xander and Story!Xander. Support!Xander is the well-written and likable Xander, while Story!Xander is the detestable and badly portrayed Xander. He also talks about how these two different Xanders demonstrate the flaws in Fates' writing. The video ultimately made me rethink how I thought about certain events in the story differently than I previously did.

I know there's a good number of people here, including myself, who really like Xander as a character, so that's why I decided to share it with you all here. Do you think Ghast raises a good point about Xander here? Did it change your opinion on the character? I'm interested in hearing everyone's opinions on what Ghast argues in this video.

You need some of the parts to upgrade an armor set.

Spoiler: BotW Spoilers

And you get what's essentially a trophy for killing all of them at least once. Not at the same time, don't worry, just ever.

Good luck out there, the first one was the worst for me. Savage Lynel Bow + Bomb Arrows seems to make quick work of them once you hit them out initially, but of course that requires getting the former and affording enough of the latter. . .

ive already given up really. I dont feel like bothing myself with them

Well I mean, you also need a part for a quest for part of another quest and then

Spoiler: BotW Spoilers

You get an item that lets you ignore lightning attraction during thunderstorms and thus use any equipment you want during them if you wear it.

But if you're not as persistent as me then I understand, hunting my first one was baaaaaaad LOL.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

are they side quests or main quests. If they are side quest, Im sure I wont do them

My movie theater has like $5 tickets anytime before 7. It's great.

I watched the video some days ago and he's got a point
Support!Xander is my favorite sibling and one of my favorite characters in Fates and the overall series but Story!Xander is just terrible

I think the problem from Fates's writing is how they clearly wanted to make both routes mirror each other completely.
It's why Conquest's plot forces the fight with Hoshido so much when it'd make more sense to have a revolution against Garon but they needed it because Birthright had you fighting all the way against Nohr. Or how in Birthright, Xander should have listened to Elise's request(plus the supposed "doubts" he has had over Garon for years) and maybe even joining in Chapter 27 as a guest unit like Athos in FE7, but they needed to make him Conquest exclusive and a fight with him.

Also, that series isn't exact recent, he has been doing it for quite sometime

 

[Cutie Gwen]

I still ****ing hate how Nohr is a terrible place yet Hoshido is perfect with an anti aggression field or some ****

 

[Coricus]

Sidequests.

. . .

. . .I ended up going over lists and doing all but two of the sidequests in the game before I eventually put the game down, LOL. I would say I went way more crazy than most, but people apparently managed to get every Korok Seed like a week in and I wonder if they even slept during that time.

 

[Deleted member]

I still ****ing hate how Nohr is a terrible place yet Hoshido is perfect with an anti aggression field or some ****

Nohr being a hellhole could have worked if they used it as a reason for the war but it is instead a fake reasoning that Silas only mentions once in Birthright and Garon is evil for the sake of it.

Alternative interpretation:
Mikoto is Trump, she put up a wall and refused to let refugees from Kohga(an allied country) come in when their country was destroyed by Mokushu(who, btw, remained an ally with Hoshido until Mokushu decided to ally with Nohr).

 

[Ivander]

I still ****ing hate how Nohr is a terrible place yet Hoshido is perfect with an anti aggression field or some ****

I think it was a great idea compared to power hungry leader who does war just for more power. The main problem was that despite it being perfectly eligible for a reason why Nohr was going after Hoshido, they didn't focus on it once, was only mentioned once in the Birthright story, and just had the ruler be an evil prick anyhow.

Spoiler: Fates Spoilers

Even if said prick was just a copy puppet in the first place instead of the real one.

But at the same time, it really doesn't help that there were no evil Hoshidans, despite the fact such people were mentioned in the supports. But really, Hoshido should've had one evil character. And said character could've been used as the reason why Corrin ultimately ends up fighting his siblings.

I honestly have trouble wondering how it would even work.

Would you make overworlds? Just dungeons? both?

I imagine dungeons. At the very least, it sounds more manageable. Not without taking ages to build anyway.

 

[RamOne]

*reads the latest chapter of the Danganronpa manga*
*it's another 'male protagonist 2 is gay for male protagonist 1 who's leaning to female protagonist' love triangle*

That's the third time already.

Who doesn't want a Zelda maker.

Could work, as long as it's only the first few Zeldas, where it's just room for room. But I think a Kirby maker would work better, as it's easier to work with platformers.

Get up off of the sand and shoot a regular arrow into the sand. They can hear it......think Tremors.....or Dune. They swim to where the arrow hit and jump into the air. When they jump into the air, shoot a bomb arrow, then hack and slash.

 

[Ivander]

Get up high somewhere and shoot a regular arrow into the sand. They can hear it......think Tremors.....or Dune. They swim to where the arrow hit and jump into the air. When they jump into the air, shoot a bomb arrow, then hack and slash.

All I just did is throw a bomb, they head towards it, they eat it, I blow it up. Than I start hacking them apart.

I want a Fire Emblem Maker. That'd actaully work pretty well. Make maps with enemies and decide the terrain and stuff
