While I readily admit I liked Diablo 3 far less than it’s predecessor, part of the reason I kept playing it was the absolutely hilariously batshit ridiculous damage numbers you can put out. Critical hitting something for literally 40 billion damage is just absurdly funny to the part of me that never outgrew Dragon…

lol my reaction too. “Oh, this looks cool. Huh, I could seem myself playing this, might have to pick it u-- nevermind”

Pure speculation theorycrafting: Newer version of the chipset is a bit smaller and the lack of the dock/upscaling means it runs cool enough to lose the fan.

Me: “Welp, it’s gotta get better now that they’ve completely wasted 8 years of buildup on NK, right?”

Aside from not being, well, round enough, Carrey seemed to really capture the version of Robotnik from the old cartoons. Aside from the godawful Sonic, I was far less disgusted than I expected to be. If they make Sonic look like Sonic, this may not be terrible.

I can see how the (what to me was an obvious fanservice/test-shot for an A-Force movie) group scene could be seen as pandering, but apparently you got a different version of Black Widow than I have over the last decade of movies and years of comics - the Natasha Romanov I know would NEVER want a pandering memorial…

Agreed. And serialized movies were VERY much a thing in the early years of “cinema”, and the MCU (and their actual comic source material) take some cues from that. 

Just gonna leave this here.

I’m *extremely* anti-spoiler, and that’s what I do, a week or so before a big movie I really want to see or whatever I just “go dark” and avoid media sites/feeds/etc. Works just fine for me. 

Well, Sonic is terrible, the music doesn’t fit at all, everything looks terrible.

This is how I took it. It certainly wasn’t “omg watershed moment gay character in the MCU!” but I loved how it was just “yeah I went on a date with a guy” and it’s treated as totally and completely normal. Not played for laughs, or discomfort, and the grieving man is played totally straight (pun not intended here),…

Bucky is implied to be rather popular with the ladies in his original WW2 era, but since recovering from his Hydra brainwashing there’s been nothing but the bromance with Steve.

Ok, so the episode was good, but I think I’m officially on the “GoT’s turned into a TV show (in the sense of TV pacing/expectations as opposed to the WTF Red Wedding style book shocks)” bandwagon now.

I’ll let people decide for themselves as to whether or not it worked well, but I *think* the intent there was they were trying to honor her decision. Someone HAD to die to bring the Soul Stone to them. To mourn her would be to disrespect her choice, and she did it to clear the red in her ledger to Clint.

First I’ve heard of it, honestly. I played it for about a month or so after release, basically trying to gaslight myself into thinking I was enjoying it as much as previous TW games before admitting it just wasn’t any good and (virtual) shelving it.  I will definitely check that out, thanks for the tip!

Given TW Rome 2 was so disappointing, I’m very intrigued by this. Am saddened the side stuff is a bit downplayed compared to other Paradox games, but might scratch the itch for ancient warfare.  

I saw an interview awhile back that Hamm isn’t interested in doing these kinds of movies because he doesn’t want to be tied to a single role for years again. That was a few years back so maybe that’s changed since then. Hopefully - he’s my personal dream casting for Dr Doom.

This. There’s moments of good in it, but on the whole it’s the Hindenburg. On fire. Set deliberately by  Cobblepot and Nigma.

Gotham has basically always been a very silly hit or miss show for me — there’s moments in it that I go “...why the hell do I watch this?” and moments when I go “..oh, that’s why.”

While it really has nothing to do with Age of Ultron, The stinger makes perfect sense in the context of where Thanos is. We last saw him in the previous movie (GotG), when Ronan betrayed their agreement to bring him the Power Stone, resulting in it being handed over to the Nova Corps.
