  1. Heaven help me there's a Fright Night 2 DVD sitting behind the counter at my local comic/record store. 35 buuuuuucks.
  2. I think I'm at the point in Dynasty Warriors: Origins where its complexities are starting to be revealed.. The weapons, beyond Sword and Spear, feel very different now, and unlocking their potential requires a little more finesse. Then beyond that, the battles are also more strategic about where you go and when you pull back. Because the defeat conditions involve other generals, you can't just brute force all the bad guys on your own - you actually have to think about the map and picking bases to fortify your position. I've definitely gotten sucked in.
  3. I don't get mad, I just get disappointed. All the Spider-Man stuff mentioned in the thread really crushed me as a fan. But I'd still continue to dip in if something was good. The Krakoa X-Men stuff was the most excited I'd been for a Marvel book in at least a decade, but when they took Hickman off to go engineer some other shit, I instinctively retreated from it again. Like my gut just told me not to invest any more time and money into the series because it wasn't going to end well. Probably not a reasonable decision - but they'd burned me too many times before with these creative shifts. I still collect comics, but I generally avoid Marvel. The only book I get from them now is Immortal Thor, which isn't mind blowing, but I like the characterization of Loki and Thor and their relationship. I've tried out a lot of different books and there's just not a lot of writing that really inspires or excites me at Marvel. I'd love to read more books featuring the characters I love, but so many books feel rushed or careless. At this point I'd rather just write or imagine my own stories just for myself than read someone else's.
  4. I don't think I ever played Dynasty Warriors before - maybe the first for a minute- but I started playing Origins for my stream and love it. So satisfying to hit a parry and wreck a general.
  5. It must feel good to help those who are less fortunate.
  6. It actually warms my heart that Lawful Metal still gets these kind of reactions after all these years.
  7. My god I wish we could have that kind of protection in Chicago. Lord, he fixed himself a cup of tea and drank it before throwing that touchdown.
  8. I wish this was the AFC title game.
  9. Well that was really kind of Islam to give Moicano a couple minutes of standup for shits and giggles.
  10. Chicago Bears are now the only NFC North team undefeated in 2025. Yes, I'm petty.
  11. This crowd is dying for one of these wrestlers/grapplers to get knocked out, and it's just not happening. I'm sure they're going to love Jailton Almeida. I don't know where Kevin Holland expects to go at Middleweight. He just can't compete with those heavier grapplers.
  12. LOL I pulled up the score and thought the game was almost over. It's not halftime yet.
  13. Feel for Tsarukyan. Lightweight is a tough division to get a title shot, but unless you're Conor McGreggor - no one's spot in line gets held for them. Might end up having to face Justin Gaethje for another opportunity. Moicano stepping in feels like we're getting a Tony Ferguson/Khabib consolation prize. Even though everything about this screams Islam dominance, it feels like a very dangerous fight. Moicano has nothing to lose here and that's a scary Moicano. And they may say it's "1 day notice", but this dude is still physically peaking right now. He was prepped for a very tough fight against Dariush. He's not coming off the couch. It's compelling stuff. Still wouldn't bet against Islam though. No idea how the Merab vs. Umar fight goes. Can Merab pressure this guy like he does everyone else? I can't imagine so. So then what?
  14. Awwww I wanted some good Sybil Danning trash recommendations. Bummer.
  15. I quite enjoyed it. The entire concept is pretty wild, even by today's standards. It's not a particularly great Barbara Steele performance, but otherwise a solid gothic style horror.
  16. My family loved the Sly Cooper games. I wish there were comics and cartoons of stuff from that universe. Really some of the most endearing characters in a video game.
  17. Is there any strange touch up stuff with the Terminator movies? I'd read Cameron employed some peculiar tech to touch up movies like True Lies and The Abyss which make the actors have that AI generated rubbery-ness to it. I would probably be like you and just get Terminator 1 and 2 and leave the rest of the franchise as a distant memory. Just like how the first three Indiana Jones movies are the only ones.
  18. What company is that? Looks like a french one. Was the movie called Cabal over there?
  19. Side note, I did a little unboxing stream of my Black Friday Haul from Vinegar Syndrome. I watch trailers for most of the movies, and show off some of the packaging. I was really surprised at the quality of the Cinematographe releases. Might want to pick up more of those in the future. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2330912086
  20. She was always too funny to be as dumb as people thought.
  21. I've been playing Robocop Rogue City. I keep going back and forth on it. I've had a couple of exciting moments, but some of the mission mechanics are weak. Like investigating a crime amounts to walking around and scanning labled objects until you go to the next phase. And some clues are locked behind a skill tree. Like you can't open this safe without a level 6 skill. So it kind of takes the skill out of the players hand. Shooting galleries are kinda weird, because I generally don't see interactive objects, until I've already killed everyone and I loot their bodies. Oh there's a gas tank back here, wish I'd seen it... The open world has a great gritty appearance, but still feels lifeleas for a city. No traffic, no feeling that any npc has a life or a place to go. All that being said, I shot a bad guy and he backflipped and landed head first inside of a crate and it was hilarious.
  22. "He's gonna lose that eye lid." -the doctor that stopped the fight. I thought Colby looked a lot more determined on the feet, and wasn't scared to eat shots from a knock out artists, just to get his takedown. Of course that is why his eye was getting exploded so...live by the sword die by the sword. That being said, Buckley's take down defense was pretty good, and more importantly he didn't get tired the couple of times he had to fight to hsi feet.. Conditioning really carried him through the grappling- it looked like he could've been okay for championship rounds. Buckley vs. Usman sounds good to me, but I can't tell if Usman is interested in doing anything.
  23. HOL-LEE BALLS After nearly 3 rounds of tepid engagement, Dustin Jacoby threw a fucking fastball down the pike and Vitor Patrino took alllllll of it.
  24. Well it was until the third round when Marcos decided to grapple more.
  25. Marcos vs. Yanez is a high paced rock 'em sock 'em worth checking out.
