  1. I loved it Comes At Night even though it infuriated me. I am getting the same vibes from this trailer.
  2. Are you taking advantage of your Mission menu? I don't mind manually boarding my Class A and Class B ships but if I am using my Class C for a mission, I just use the Fast Travel features to get to and from places without actually having to manually pilot the ship to the destination. Fuck all of that climbing. I know my OCD. If I actually took the time to tinker with my Keppler R, I would spend hours lost in ship design. I spent at least three or so hours building my Roci clone and that ship is Class B.
  3. Godzilla Minus One hits theaters at the end of November. I am in shock that backwater market RVA will actually have showings in theaters near me. I won't have to make a day trip to DC. I would be perfectly fine if there were no more big budget Godzillaverse movies and they just threw everything at the Monarch series. That way I wouldn't have to wait two or three years between installments for a film with a two hour and change runtime.
  4. Scream 6 snuck onto Showtime Networks while I was paying attention to other things.
  5. Aussie /Tormenta was a really great match. Sets a really high bar for future WOW main events. I love how Sophia Lopez toes the line between baby face and heel manager. One minute she's all nice and smiling and shaking hands with the fans and the next she's distracting the ref and sliding a gimmick to her wrestler. I like the ref's judgement call in choosing not to address issue of the briefcase in the ring since it wasn't in the hands of either wrestler, and instead prioritizing the action in the ring and making the three count after the finisher. If you don't see it, you don't call it. Sometimes works in favor of the heel and sometimes not.
  6. Lawful Jr. had to watch my pick? I am the worst internet uncle ever. His review is very concise. I am impressed!
  7. Watched some Animal Planet doc while folding laundry and it has occurred to me that the late Hayden Wynn was a complete dumbass. In his arrogance, he assumed that the Freestar Collective couldn't have weaponized the Ashta simply because they did not have the scientific means to strap electrodes to the Ashta's heads and force them to obey commands.. ... as if the FC hadn't had a hundred or so years of existence to capture, domesticate, and train generations of Ashta to serve as companions and beasts of war... But the Rangers don't even use alien critters for transportation, so maybe Wynn knew what he was talking about? ("Why are the Ranger street patrols on foot? Where are the horse analogues? Shouldn't they be riding Grazers or something?") Oh, and this fucking game desperately needs a "put it back where you found it" button so that you can return slates and books to their original location after you read them. It would be nice not to have to remember to drop slates after reading them while on a mission and avoid having to dump them in storage when I get back to the Lodge.
  8. Not just the security outfit but the UCSec plexiglass helmet I found at the Nova Galactic shipyard during The Old Neighborhood. Someone needs to have unreasonable standards of immersion and I am the most likely suspect. Yes. Many reasons. Nearly every vendor that sells Resources should have a chance to have Titanium in their inventory. I buy it from Jemison Mercantile, my UC Distribution connect on Cydonia, and the mineral shop in Akila City. I try to give business to the dumbass in Neon who decided to open a mining supply shop on an ocean planet because I like to support hopeless causes. When I needed ship kills towards Pilot 4, I just went to the Mission Boards and picked as many fights as i could. May as well get paid for it and use the creds to resupply on ship parts.
  9. I watched the trailer yesterday. I am very intrigued.
  10. Please don't say that. It is bad enough that I am working on my second outpost and will probably have an entire logistics chain done before I even touch my exploding Activities queue. I love Bethesda time sinks, but it takes me forever to get to the endgame because of them. I think Bethesda does a pretty good job when it comes to kids as characters. All of the children in Starfield are pretty awesome and I also liked most of the kids in games like Skyrim and Fallout 3. Even the brats in Bethesda games have good reasons for being that way. Nelkir is a horrible child, but he's also being manipulated by a Daedra.
  11. I am glad I did not get rid of my UC Security outfit. SGT Yumi has another mission for you once you complete both of his initial missions and also complete the Vanguard mission, Eyewitness. I am mostly done with the Vanguard missions, but haven't been back to UCSEC for a while.
  12. What he said. I know the negativity generated by Majors's life drama is affecting things adversely, but there's no need to screw up everything with knee-jerk reactions. Just handle the Kang situation the best way possible, with or without Majors, and establish Doom in a manner that gets people excited about the MCU again.
  13. Oh, I have played long enough to discover how to remove all of my traits. I just don't want to get rid them.
  14. After a bajillion hours of game time, I have finally discovered how to remove the Taskmaster trait. Basically you go talk to Keeper Aquilus at the Sanctum Universum church and have the "My crew thinks I'm a slave driving asshole. What can I do to make them like me?" talk. I guess I should've taken him up on his offer to talk about their bible, Among the Grav Jumps, earlier in this playthrough.
  15. Billy and The Acclaimed have had a long standing feud with the Ass Boys. Why would they pass on an opportunity to team with MJF and kick the shit out of their hated rivals? Getting their hands on Switchblade and Juice would just be a bonus. Plus it is good character development for MJF. He's now got a grand total of four friends instead of just the one..... which could fuel a jealousy angle and a heel turn for Cole when he returns to action.
  16. I hate the idea of subtitles. For me, the beauty of the story lies in Blackthorne's evolution from gaijin to hatamoto and one of the best ways to show that maturity is to let the audience witness his progression as he struggles with the culture and the language. It is the effort he puts in educating himself that earns John the most respect from Toronaga and the Japanese. Yes, it is a slow and painful process, but some things should be. Otherwise we're back to insulting moments in time dilation movie history like Nathan Algren becoming a kenjutsu master over the course of a single winter. That is my angry old man opinion.
  17. I am digging Orange Cassidy being a thinking man's wrestler, learning from past defeats, and developing counters. Normally I hate babyfaces pulling wins out of their asses after being dominated for nearly the entire match, but in this case it is different. Put some spotlight on Claudio so that he can show off and display his redonkulous power and also show the folks why OC will only win this match by wrestling smart because he has a snowball's chance in Hell of matching might with Claudio. Observe, Analyze, Strategize, Execute, Exploit, Win. OC is wrestling like a champion holding a title worthy of defending. Anything that leads to a Young Bucks heel turn is a good thing. Anything that leads to a Young Bucks tag-team title run, not so much.
  18. Its a series on HBO that they ported over from their HBO Europe programming after it became rather popular. Basically: We're in S2 right now and I'd highly recommend watching S1 before diving into the current action. There is a lot of shit going on and this series does not hold your hand. At all. Original eps air on Sunday nights @ 9PM EST (The Watchmen / True Detective / Westworld / His Dark Materials block in the schedule when they show the really good shit) and are available on Max following the television debut.
  19. Oh, I don't know how much longer I am strictly going to be a sword guy now that I have this badass Legendary AA-99 assault rifle that has Anti-Personnel, Incendiary. and Explosive as the weapon traits with High Powered and Gut Buster Rounds on the curated roll. I'll probably just make this a short range rifle and leave it fully automatic.
  20. Neon for sure. You will have Activities galore in no time flat. Every wandering member of Neon Security will break their necks trying to make sure you all caught up with the rumor mill. I believe the reason i didn't have ten billion Activities logged while working on The Empty Nest is because I did my best to avoid contact with the Freestar Rangers on street patrol in Akila City. I may have been overly cautious to avoid going on The List.
  21. Yeah I blundered down another enormous rabbit hole full of mission leads while doing Barrett's "loyalty" mission. Same thing happened during The Old Neighborhood while Sarah and I were in Cydonia.
  22. John Carpenter will provide the score to Ari Aster's next A24 production, Death of a Unicorne. Paull Rudd and Jenna Ortega will star in what is being described as a horror fantasy comedy.
