• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game Informer Is Back and the Entire Team Has Returned⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting that the District 9 director is involved with the parent company.

  I thought Game Informer had some cool stuff. I really liked the second opinion on reviews, that tiny box inside the full review. It was fun to pick a side when they were at odds.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ben Affleck Calls His Batman a 'Really Excruciating Experience'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That variety article is useless. It just misconstrued the GQ one.

  Do you have a coherent thought or postmortem on your time with the Batman character?

  I had a really good time. I loved doing the Batman movie. I loved Batman v Superman. And I liked my brief stints on The Flash that I did and when I got to work with Viola Davis on Suicide Squad for a day or two. In terms of creatively, I really think that I like the idea and the ambition that I had for it, which was of the sort of older, broken, damaged Bruce Wayne. And it was something we really went for in the first movie.

  But what happened was it started to skew too old for a big part of the audience. Like even my own son at the time was too scared to watch the movie. And so when I saw that I was like, “Oh shit, we have a problem.” Then I think that’s when you had a filmmaker that wanted to continue down that road and a studio that wanted to recapture all the younger audience at cross purposes. Then you have two entities, two people really wanting to do something different and that is a really bad recipe

  I was ready to push back some but the title is misleading. He just said midrange adult films face a tougher time.

  I feel like I got a lot of options.

  Watch Double Indemnity and Body Heat same day or next day for a genre experience.

  I guess its worth a try. The only downside is I think each time I try I need to download the 70ishgb game. I will give bottles a shot.

  Battlenet has it. I’m not sure why, maybe it is a sign of things to come for Microsoft? I couldn’t very well try the Microsoft Store as it has 0 compatibility with linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Avowed Launches As Steam's # 1Top Seller In The US And Worldwide⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have any Linux users had luck getting it to work through Battlenet? I still got a few months left on my three years of Xbox membership. I got battlenet running through Steam and got it to install the game, but it reports a problem updating when trying to launch.

  Old Henry was very good for me. Greedy People was a bit of a miss.

  If it’s going to happen, I at least like the director. Even Greedy People’s miss held some good aspects.

  I’m still mad at him for Glass and mad at me for giving Trap a fair shake.

  How is he so capable and incapable from film to film?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video of Francis Ford Coppola Kissing ‘Megalopolis’ Extras Surfaces as Crew Members Detail Unprofessional Behavior on Set (EXCLUSIVE)⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Look up his ties to Salva who directed Jeepers Creepers. Coppola has always been a creep. Dignity was lost when he kept pushing the career of a child rapist because “they were kids.” Near 30 vs a 13 year old boy.

  People need to separate the artist from his work because he has always been wack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon MMO New World Coming To Consoles With Major Updates⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve only tried Dark Souls once and my game kept reloading itself right before my death. Haha. I do plan to give Elden Ring a go though and would love to try Bloodborn if it ever came to PC.

  If it helps, I think your in the majority. I have a feeling it’s one I will drop after level cap. You never know though. I was one of ten people who played Warhammer Online until the doors closed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon MMO New World Coming To Consoles With Major Updates⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll have a reason to try it out. As an outsider, it looks like the game is a testing spot for their next MMO but The Elder Scrolls Online has excellent controller support and I would love to see more. I had hoped it would be Guild Wars 2, but at least this gives me confidence the LotR MMO will have controller support.

  I just hope they leave the current LotR MMO alone. It’s not my game but those people are so so very nice each time I try it.

  I’m surprised to see Jason. The Dead By Daylight guys said they wouldn’t touch him because the legal spaghetti it is. Apparently different people own different versions of him and each can only acknowledge some story elements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm so annoyed that they're calling the new hobbit game 'A The Lord of the Rings Game'⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems weirder to me to be honest. Like the recent The Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. Just call if Return to Moria and make a LotR badge for marketings sake. Same here.

  I’ll accept Middle-Earth though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game series had the worst anniversary celebration?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can grind for great rewards but they also are encouraging easy endeavors for a lot of points and any content is giving the 100% XP bonus which makes even questing feel nicer. There is a grind if you want true flame or one of the other 4 this-time-only items but that’s some people’s enjoyment.

  The only ball dropping imo is the PTS debacle but they are giving the affected all the items, like a years endeavors, and a ton of other stuff that seems fair to me.

  I think it can be hard for someone if they always feel the need to maximize anything they do, they probably just grind the whole time to earn millions of gold. I did a few grinds to get the loot high but doing dailies I had not tried yet has been fun since I get the 100%xp and an extra loot box for each.

  Obviously just my experience though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tales of the Shire - Official Announcement Trailer - PEGI⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the idea, but the execution looks cheap. I’m more open to middle earth games without fighting than with. It often feels hamfisted to force it into the slashy-casty box.

  ESO Financials were part of the Microsoft leak. They do pretty dang well. Downward trend but what ten year old game constantly only sees number go up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Spyro the Dragon tweet has fans thinking a new instalment is coming⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Being 6, I would just go with the game system they like. You and I know PC/SteamDeck are killer but youngins always fixate on what they like. Besides, I have a feeling a switch would be cheaper. Not so sure about a switch 2 being cheaper though.

  Your kids lucky your thinking it out. 😎👍
