Yeah, I was 6 or 7 when I saw this for the first time. I had asked for a T2 action figure at the store because it looked cool, and both of my parents agreed that I’d probably like the movie, and rented the tape. I remember some of the scenes being kind of intense, but my parents were really good about instilling the…

The problem with this argument is that the movie is STILL GOING TO THEATERS in October 2021. It’s just ALSO going to be on HBO Max. If COVID is mostly behind us by then, then people will be able to safely go to theaters and see it how he wants them to anyway. They’ll just have it on HBO Max as a back-up, and if more…

Yeah, Vince Gilligan is incredibly open about how much they were flying by the seat of their pants the whole time.

The problem is that TV shows are long-running, organic things, so pre-planning an ending isn’t usually a good idea. That’s what happened with How I Met Your Mother: they stuck with an ending that no longer fit the show. It’s also why all the Lost copycat series failed: they all touted how they had a whole series plan,…

I think it depends on the show, and how serialized it was. It’s hard to want to revisit Game of Thrones because almost every plotline is dependent on having a satisfying conclusion, and the ending botched it pretty hard across the board. Lost, on the other hand, was a lot less focused on a series-long narrative than a…

It happened to me with Spider-Man Remastered. I selected and installed the PS5 version from my library, but when it was done installing, the version on my Game Bar was the PS4 one. I tried to launch it and it told me the game wasn’t installed and started installing the PS4 version automatically.

It’s not that hard to…

I’m still salty about this.

If you’re looking to casually dip back into gaming, I’d suggest going for an Xbox (Series X if you have or expect to get a 4K TV, Series S if not), and then subscribing to Game Pass. I think they have leasing plans that loop in the price of Game Pass, too, and actually save you money in the long-run. I say this as…

Same. It looks like hardly any AV receivers have HDMI 2.1 passthroughs, and most that do have been really problematic. I hate that I have to decide between either VRR and ALLM, or high-definition audio. If the PS5 can adequately pass on its new 3D audio tech via Linear PCM 5.1, then I can probably get away with…

Have you tried linking your Amazon and Apple with Movies Anywhere? Technically, it should recognize that you own It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown on Amazon and add it to your Apple account too. I guess that doesn’t really help if you avoid all things Apple like I do, but if not, at least you don’t have to rebuy it.

You also get digital copies that can be redeemed across Vudu, Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Xfinity, Fandango, Verizon, and DirectTV with a blu-ray purchase. So there’s no reason to NOT buy blu-ray over digital purchases: you still have the hard copy no matter what, but you can easily watch it on whatever you want…

I subscribe to a number of video services, but I’m the same way about movies I actually care about. I never buy a movie digitally if it’s available on blu-ray. Also most modern blu-rays cost aboutthe same as a digital HD purchase anyway, AND they come with a free digital copy that crosses multiple online storefronts,…

Seems that way!

I don’t think it’s actually that complicated. His last desperate move is to peddle this Biden corruption story that Giuliani and his informants pulled out of their ass. He spends time on it here, complaining that the media won’t cover it, and then releases it all online. Then when 60 Minutes inevitably refuses to…

Yeah, being in on the trial was neat! It convinced me to buy Odyssey on the One X so I could play it without lag and with better visuals.

It definitely helps that they roped in the gameplay tweaks from THPS 3 and 4, and added the manual to 1. By THPS 3 they had basically perfected what they had started with THPS 1, and the spine transfer button from 4 made it even easier to keep a combo going, if you knew what you were doing.

The house part was one of the only stand-out parts of that game, IMO. At least, for the first 15-20 minutes or so. Then it just goes on, and on, and on, until it gets to its dumb ending.

You don’t need to pay attention to that. Just do tricks and string them together. Like I can’t tell you the difference between a kickflip and a hardflip, other than doing a variety of tricks in a combo gets you more points, so just try hitting square in different directions to get different results.

Not that it matters…

Just go full-on Saints Row 4. Vin Diesel is president, they’re fighting aliens, there’s a Matrix, time travel. Get wild.

I mean, you do you, but I wouldn’t consider two words to be an “extensive amount of foreign lingo.” These two moves are really the glue that holds all the other tricks together. You don’t really need to know trick names or a bunch of crazy jargon, just how to keep doing tricks without breaking a combo.
