If you ask me it’s actually a good thing that they created an original character to serve as a cipher for the audience rather than an established character as protagonist. On top of that it means that they can kill any characters they please. It potentially raises the stakes for the characters we know and love.

I borrowed my Wii copy of this to someone like 2 years ago and just got it back. I was all excited to jump back in and then they announce this. It had its issues but I really enjoyed this one. The joy-cons should be less finicky that the Wiimotes. This is going to absolutely shine in HD though. Visually, I think this…

That battle theme got me so pumped while I played this. Especially when the violins kick in. Coupled with the deceptively deep combat it may be one of my personal favorite pieces from the series.

Betcha Clint Barton Jr. is next. 

I’d love to be wrong but I’m not entirely convinced that the next four years aren’t going to just be story after story about meaningless ways that Biden isn’t Trump without any real action being taken. We’re already seeing it. “It’s so good to have a First Dog!”. “I love that we have a couple in the White House again…

You and me both. Im not upset about this casting but Nikolaj is a dead ringer for Joel.

I’m gonna be very surprised if they don’t stretch the first game over two seasons.

Timothy Olyphant and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau were my main picks based on looks alone. Honestly never even considered Pedro Pascal. He'll eventually have a monopoly on all of my media but I'm not upset. The guy's good.

If you can believe it I’ve had my Switch since launch day and my joy-cons still don’t drift one bit. Personally, it’s just about a tie between the X360 controller and the DualShock 4 for serious drifting problems. I had to have went through half a dozen DS4s because of it. Ar least one time it started up just a few…

Yep. There were some really neat ideas at work and the bones were there for something special. But they tried too hard to beat Destiny at the loot-shooter game and Anthem shouldn't have been that. We just wanted a co-op Iron Man game, not RNG hell with no memorable gear. 

Hey, man, I'm also a 35 year old dude and Moana made me choke 'em back multiple times. That movies *gets* me, okay? 

The last time I played an online game with voice chat that wasn't a terrible experience was, shockingly, Gears Of War 1. Met some pretty cool people in that game. It was before party chat so if you wanted to communicate with your friends you had to communicate with everyone else too. Sometimes I miss the…

Ah, well it's not ideal but it's something. Will have to remember this when I eventually get a PS5.

Wait, so not only can you hear other players by default with no way to disable it but others can hear you by default with no way to disable it? Well that sounds awful. I added the game to my library but don’t have a PS5. But if I did that would be enough to get me to not touch the game until an update added the very…

Holy shit, now that you mention it that "before" pic is like a dead ringer for Spacey in American Beauty. Dollar Tree Kevin Spacey to Great Value J.K. Simmons is an interesting transition.

Good.

You leave Great Value J.K. Simmons alone!

As an Xbox Preferrer who owns a Series X but also a PS4 I feel slightly vindicated for not having bitten the bullet on this one yet. 

I just secured a Series X last week, finally. And picked up Legion. I think they issued a performance patch, or at least I remember reading something to that effect. In any case it runs smoothly for me, but it’s definitely 30fps and not 60. Stable 30 but 30.

I mean, I love the porgs. They were at least featured throughout the movie as a nice comedic foil to for Chewie. But I generally agree. Babu Frik was the most egregious example of “Crap, we need a cute alien!” of the entire sequel trilogy. Showed up for literally two brief scenes, did it’s dumb “hey heeeey” and then…
