It’s pretty obvious that Google did wipe the phone, but I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the poor person tasked with the wipe did so by accident. They probably meant to erase emails only, but selected something more aggressive.

In his speech today, Berland also claims the Global Investigations team were clear that he was not accused of leaking.

Trying to listen to this like a podcast at work sends me into a waking trance like state, where Tim's words and voice wash over me like a gentle calming wave and leaves my soul at ease and rejuvenated.

Busy weekend coming up, with fun adulting tasking like replacing the weather strip on the door threshold and studying for additional certifications. When I do have time, going to get some Pokemon Shield and Luigi’s Mansion 3. We got up to the B2 boss last weekend, but I was having a very difficult time with the…

I’m just two missions into Death Stranding and I’m elated. I somehow managed to avoid all release day hype, spoilers, and even reviews of the game in the time it’s been out, so I’m going in pretty blind and loving it. No matter how many cutscenes Kojima throws at you, he always backs his stories up with solid, deeply…

Dragon Quest XI S: Definitive Edition for the Switch. I’m in the second part of the game, and I wasn’t anticipating the few hours of additional content that I’m getting. I’m wrapping that up now, and really enjoying the extra insights that provides.

Tekken 7 is very accessible, and the series is usually not. There’s still so much depth a pro will crush a newbie who doesnt know what theyre doing, but T7's assist system (a bumper that turns your face buttons into instant special attacks that can be chained into a quick and damaging combo) and Rage system (the other…

This has been me for the past month-plus. I got Astral Chain for my birthday in mid-October, then grabbed Outer Worlds the second it released. Finished Astral Chain just in time for Death Stranding to release, but I stuck to my guns and dove into Outer Worlds.. with the Stranding box sitting on my shelf screaming for…

Iv been jumping from fighting game to fighting game trying to find one thats for me. I think the 3D ones may be for me as I suck at almost all 2D fighting games. I cant even win against the normal arcade in Blazblue.

I have been weirdly drawn into “dauntless” It lacks a lot of the refinement of monster hunter, or even toukiden, but its got a very fast start-to-fun time, and some depth to the weapons. I have weirdly gotten into the repeters, despite never enjoying playing a gun class in mh, and even went elite because i love gothic…

Yeah I thought about taking a break from Death Stranding and dipping my toe in Fallen Order, but then I was like...but do I really want to not play Death Stranding? So I booted it up and as soon as I started trekking, I knew I made the right choice.

I just finished up my platinums of Tekken 7 and Burnout Paradise Remastered (protip: You can get the Wildcat Stadium trophy offline instead of trying to get an 8-player game going). The Tekken 7 one was surprisingly achievable thanks to a pretty excellent matchmaking system, I was always paired up with folks at my…

Death Stranding, which I’m still not interested in rushing, so I probably won’t get anywhere near Jedi Fallen Order.

I believe the rights for solo hulk movies are controlled by Universal, not marvel, and that is the biggest thing stopping them. I think the niche of what they established with the hulk stories playing out tangentially has worked well for marvel.

I’m really surprised at how well its worked for you Ethan. I've experienced extreme lag over my home wifi, often in the range of 3-5 seconds. The streams have looked good and started quickly, but the input lag was just atrocious.

And Mark Ruffalo seems to be perfectly happy just being a team player, which is how people also seem to like him (unlike Jeremy Renner).

As creatively as he was utilized in Thor and Endgame, I don’t think Hulk could have necessarily anchored his own movie. There just doesn’t seem enough for him to do in a solo movie and Hulk doesn’t exactly have a broad variety of enemies to draw on.

I think the problem is that for a Hulk film, you have to go balls in on the Hulk mythos. Hulk as a monster and Banner as a troubled soul is material for one film and even that’s been done a million times, so it’s best for his predicament to be viewed through the lens of others or by giving it to others. You need…

I’d love it if they could work him back into the new Thor movie.

I always thought it was Scott Farkus.
