    If you don't have him I HIGHLY recommend Blade, he's pretty damn great. Lots of accessories, the coat isn't too bad, and he just looks good, he's a really good Blade figure, still the best out there IMO.

    Yeah but then they find a way to kill the beasty in the present day anyway, which becomes even more luck based, and circumstantial. At least with the colonial marines it's usually an earned win or kill, they've got it easier, but it's more believable then the Scooby-Doo like antics of the second AVP. Honestly, the best Alien story since the first film was the game Alien Isolation, which was absolutely amazing, a true love letter to fans of the first film. It caught flack from critics for being too hard, and the antagonist was unkillable, which was the entire point, it was just such a good game and had atmosphere out the wazoo.

    Mouscular Chef? Now that's Monster Hunter! I'm now cautiously optimistic.

    Yes, and it's been a fantastic season! Chris Rock has been killing it! I am definitely enjoying this season more then season 3, which fell a bit flat for me. I still think the best season was the first, ol Billy Bob and Martin Freeman were brilliant, followed by season 2, this season third, and season 3 would be my least favorite. Leave it to Fargo to subvert expectations too, what a fantastic show.

    Yeah it's kind of a bummer, I'd rather have better articulation then a light up gimmick. Either way ordered, he looks fantastic! I need him to finish off my One:12 Marvel Knights, Moon Knight, Blade and Punisher need their backup!

    I think the last Predator movie I liked was the one with Adrien Brody and Eric Foreman. The latest one was really terrible. Why do we need Super Predators? And enhanced Predators? And Predators imbued with the genes of autistic kids? The Predator is a damn fine and terrifying movie monster, the monster doesn't need an upgrade, the writing does, stop it. This. Holy crap, it seems so simple, STOP DOING AVP IN THE PRESENT DAY! It's not hard, most of the AVP comics took place in the future, in the time of the Colonial Marines, why do we keep getting these cheap modern monster movies that just happen to have a Predator in them?

    I know the next episode is entitled "The Jedi", but what if there's massive misdirection, there's no Ahsoka in this episode, and instead Mando meets up with an actual, admitted Jedi, one Kyle K? That would be crazy. Honestly though, with all this EU and Legends stuff becoming canon again, Kyle seems a no-brainer, he's a massive fan favorite, and a damn fine character all his own. We'll see, I'm guessing it will just be Ahsoka saving Mando's ass against some crazy odds, all not-Jedi style :).

    I ordered Sesame Street and the Las Vegas architecture set, got me over $150 so I got the Charles Dickens gift. What a cool little gift set, I know $150 is a fairly steep buy-in, but it's a cool looking little set. I'm excited to check it all out. I almost, almost, almost bought the VW Camper instead, I'm missing that set and Lego.com actually got stock again, but me and Sesame Street go waaaaaay back, I grew up with those colorful characters and that barrio, I had to have it. I can't decide if I want the JP T-Rex set next, or keep my eye open for the Creator Expert Ecto-1, I missed out and would love one for Christmas.

    Yup, still lots of people playing, there's crossplay between PC too, so there's even more people to play with. I think Gears 5 is in season 3, maybe 4, so there's lots of maps and content.

    Wait so on December 25th I can watch this on HBOMax? Without another charge on top like Disney+ did with Mulan? That's pretty awesome! I have HBOMax, so I'll definitely check this out on Christmas day! The real bummer is that the HBOMax app is stuck in the dark ages, no 4K HDR in 2020? That's frakking absurd, they need to get that updated ASAP.

    I think both new consoles using SSD will lead to both bigger and cheaper SSD in the future, it may take another year or so, but being the new standard for consoles now as well should push competition. They definitely seem to have dialed back on some of the RPG stuff, the new assassination options are interesting, you can run off the numbers and not always get the kill or you can just set it to always kill. Also, there's far, far less gear, it's now more about upgrading existing stuff and occasionally getting a new piece of a set in a chest, then getting piles of new stuff to sort and optimize. Gears Tactics isn't a cover based third person shooter like the rest of the series, it's a turn based strategy game like Xcom. Gears 5 is still the current mainline Gears game, I restarted the campaign with the Series X enhancements and it's amazing, 120fps multiplayer isn't too shabby either. Gears Tactics is a ton of fun if you like turn based strategy games, I've played a lot of Xcom and the like so I'm really enjoying it, even though it's more zoomed out it's still a really polished Gears game.

    Yup, got one on launch day, I've got 20 hours into AC Valhalla, it's really smooth in 4K 60fps. I don't like COD so I passed on that, I got Gears Tactics, that game also looks fantastic in 4K 60fps. I'm going to grab Yakuza LAD eventually, it's just too similar to Gears Tactics to play right now as well. I installed Doom Eternal and GTAV on the internal SSD and, no surprise, load times are far faster. Anything with a capped 30fps stays floored at 30fps, no dips. Anything installed on the SSD flies, Series X enhanced or not. The SSD on these new consoles is a game changer, from PC gaming's perspective it's about time, for console players it's a night and day difference.

    Yup, just on the shelf. It was crazy, I had to stop and grab a few things and decided to go check the electronics section, the video game stuff is always in sections based on platform and there they were among Xbox One and One S, two Series X and one Series S. Totally unexpected, once again, just sitting there. I'd been reading the horror stories all day about online orders, and scalpers, and people hunting store to store to try and get one, so I asked the guy stocking behind me if they were for sale and yes indeed, I wrung up one Series X. From what I read there's a number of factors at play, first off was that Walmart apparently wasn't supposed to sell these in store, apparently the in store stock was for online orders only. Problem with that was that Walmart.com was a mess all day, orders didn't go through, orders were cancelled, so apparently a number of Walmarts all over the country saw they had stock that wasn't getting picked up and said screw it, and just started selling them. I also read that a few Walmart employees were told in store stock was for Black Friday only, which I doubt. Who knows really, it seems it was a mess overall, most Walmart employees had no idea the Series X and S even came out, and every store, early in the morning, had lines of people trying to grab one. Only thing I've been thinking about is if some poor sap put in an online order and something got messed up, allowing me to grab someone else's already paid for Series X. Honestly though, it was such a mess I doubt anyone got screwed that way, it seems most people getting screwed just had their orders cancelled a few minutes after ordering, Walmart's servers were a mess yesterday.

    Nice, I'll be playing Spiderman MM on my PS4 Pro but I'd kill for Demons Souls. I played over 350 hours on PS3 back in college, I loved that game. Good luck on the disc version, I know there's more people out there looking for Sony's new console over either Microsoft one, hopefully you can nab a pre-order on launch night.
  16. Tking22
    Found one at Walmart, not a planned purchase, I was going to definitely grab one eventually, but it was there so I nabbed it.
  17. Tking22
    Didn't plan on buying this today, I didn't pre-order, but there it was at Walmart. Between the PS5 and this X Series I was always getting the Xbox first, then a PS5 when there was enough interesting exclusives to justify the purchase, I did the same with the PS4 Pro. It's certainly a beefy little piece of hardware for $500, I already have a bad boy 72" 4K TV with hdmi 2.1 and native 4K 120hz, so I'm all good to go!

    Ghost of Tsushima Legends raid came out, very well made, very tough too. Three chapters, the second in particular took about two hours, definitely requires communication, teamwork and a very solid group of four. This Legends update has been fantastic, it's definitely cemented my opinion that Ghost is absolutely game of the year material.
  19. Tking22
    Finally got my hands on this beast! I missed the pre-order long ago due to some family nonsense I had to deal with at the time, then it came out and the price crept higher and higher. Managed to snag this and the final battle RX-78 for a good price, and with this I've collected all the 0079 mecha in the Robot Spirits ANIME line, including exclusives.

    I absolutely love multiplayer, coop specifically, I love me some PvE, but not PvP, so I'm all in on this update, it's magnificent. Good news is that you can totally do everything in Legends solo, you just que up and turn off matchmaking. It's tough at times, the two player Legends story is clearly designed for two ghosts, but it can be done. I did the whole campaign myself on bronze then silver difficulty, bronze was a breeze but silver got pretty hectic at times. I'd also say that the survival mode is far, far more forgiving with three random players helping out, the objective is always the same, you just fight and defend a spot, little need for coordination for the most part. The campaign with random players is another story, I tried a few times but just got idiots and children.

    Anyone else with Ghost of Tsushima try out the magnificent Legends update? I'm pretty blown away, it's absolutely brilliant for free DLC, I've spent hours, and hours, and hours getting my samurai to 110 ki level 33, it's a ton of fun. There's also New Game+ added to the main game, along with a slew of really nice, very much appreciated quality of life changes and additions. I'll fire up New Game+ eventually, for right now I've been having an absolute blast with the coop Legends modes though, the two player campaign missions in particular are a lot of fun. There's also a four player coop survival mode, which is what it sounds like, just surviving waves of enemies while holding checkpoints throughout the map, not as in depth or engaging as the two player story stuff, but still very fun. There's loot and gear, but it's not egregious, this isn't Marvel's Avengers or Destiny, all loot can be shared among the classes. Four classes to pick, ultimate abilities, unique gear and cosmetics for each class, this is a pretty substantial update for free. I see some people are disappointed this wasn't a single player expansion, but honestly, if this was a "real" expansion with actual new characters, cut scenes, moves and attacks, enemies, etc., it obviously would've cost money. So for free, I think the Legends update is amazing, I'll be playing for weeks to come now, more so considering there are larger "raids" on the way.

    Solid finale, definitely predictable though, once again, this series has veered completely away from the comic and I'm perfectly fine with it. At this point I enjoy the comic and show for different reasons, both good, I still like the comic and it's story far more, but the show is fun. Lots of revelations in these last two episodes, and once again as a comic reader, am glad to not know exactly where things are going. Overall it was a good season, not as good as the first, I have this odd feeling like not much happened this season, which is weird, it just didn't seem quite as eventful.

    Lucky, I really wanted that one. I would've traded him out into my Mezco One 12 Justice League, I like Ascending Knight Batman, but I like this suit design and these darker colors much more. I got in a package from HLJ, after hearing about disappointments with the first Figuarts Mando release I was worried, but he's great, a tad fiddly but he looks fantastic. The Child is a bummer, stellar faces but super fiddly, the cup accessory is a pain and nearly pointless. Toei Spider-Man is great, his faithful robot Leopardon as well! A week before this rerelease was announced I almost bought the original version, glad I waited, Spidey's henshin device is a cool addition.
  24. Tking22
    Yeah that yellow is way, way too bright, it was more mustard colored on the show, with weathering on top. I love the sculpt and detail, but I may to have to suck it up and do some paint work myself, if that's the color they go with that just won't work for me.
  25. Tking22
    Those faces definitely don't look as good as the promos, I'm still pretty glad I skipped this one, reviews seem pretty rough. I'm hoping the Mezco comes out good.
