That’s cool, I guess...I’d just like the PC version I already have to work properly...

I all but stopped playing any PvP after switching to PC thanks to the rampant cheating problem that Bungie seemingly has no interest in even attempting to combat, but FWIW unless you’re playing Trials or Iron Banner, light level has no impact on PvP.

I don’t know anyone who went to Catholic school, but a friend of mines little brother went to an exclusive Baptist school and, let me tell ya, those kids were up to waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse shit than anything I ever saw or heard about from anyone in public school. Getting kicked out of a school…

What’s weird to me is that neither Ryu or Chun-Li even remotely fit the bounty hunter theme of the season. Capcom have multiple dozens of characters that, y’know, actually use guns that would have been a much better fit. It’s just weird.

Fuckin’ hell, that does suck. Luckily it shouldn’t get below freezing again in Dallas, and it’ll be around 60 for the next few days, so it should be thawed by Tuesday/Wednesday at the latest.

And who are you to say those two in the picture aren’t in college working their way toward the life they want, or kids in their first jobs, or adults who got fucked over and laid off last year because of a pandemic with no better options to keep a roof over their heads, or folks in a similar situation working one of…

Here’s the thing people don’t understand about Texas...

It’s not a giant cattle ranch full of backwards ass rednecks, rampant with racists, sexists, bigots, white supremacists, etc., etc....it’s just run by people who are. Conservative people and families who have held positions of power for decades not because the…

Cross-progression is nice, but I’m super disappointed there’s seemingly no crossplay. Hopefully they’re saving that announcement for the later presentation.

Yeah, fuck all the people who rallied and railed and voted against people like Gohmert and Cruz and Cornyn who put is in this mess...but we happen to live here so we can all eat shit, we deserve this, right?

Way to generalize, asshole.

I sincerely hope Cruz dies in a gutter, cold, alone, penniless, long forgotten by his former friends, and loathed by his family.

Absolutely! I’ve always been a fan of the MK story (14 year old me even wrote a feature length fan-script for a sequel after seeing the original MK movie (and it was better than Annihilation!)) just for the comic-book/D&D level goofiness of it all, but what they’ve done with the newest trilogy is some genuinely next-le…

He’s still named Noob Saibot, but aside from the announcer saying his name I don’t remember any characters actually saying that name. If I’m remembering correctly, the only character that has directly addressed him in in the campaigns of any of the past three games is Kuai Liang, who just calls him Bi-Han.

There already is!

You want Chun-Li? Here ya go, all the Chun-Li you can handle.

Absolutely, the whole “birthright” aspect of the Cole character to me screams “rightful leader of the Lin Kuei”, and making a “new” character just seems so completely unneccessary for anything other than a fake-out.

I also fucking adore the idea of Bi-Han coming back as Noob in a sequel, if for no other reason than…

Bi-Han is the Sub-Zero in the movie, that’s 100% confirmed.

MK isn’t an infinite universe like Star Wars, though. For as many characters and realms as there are, it’s a very small world, and the vast majority of characters are connected in one way or another. There’s only two camps, the good guys fighting on the side of Raiden and Earthrealm, or the bad guys fighting for Shao…

I agree, but also the whole conceit of needing a character to serve as the audience stand-in is complete bullshit.

MK has been around for 29 years, it’s arguably bigger now than it’s ever been and is easily the most popular fighting game series in history. MK isn’t that complicated (convoluted, sure, but not…

It is, but going off what I know of the plot and the characters involved, I’m convinced that by the end of the film Cole will be revealed to have secretly been an established character all along...and I think I know who.

It appears that Sub-Zero is the primary antagonist, and knowing MK lore, I have to assume that’s…

It wasn’t accidental at all...
