  1. I swear I should just see who's buying out who every Monday (or Tuesday if a holiday weekend) morning. 2nd time this month my feeds starts blowing up about buyouts. Sony Buys Bungie, Makers of Destiny 2 For $3.6B Related but "'Don't care cuz I don't jump on these crazy bandwagon games" Wordle Bought By The New York Times For 'Seven-Figure' Sum There's more, but unrelated to gaming.
  2. That was well into the Reclaimer-storyline (Halo 4, Halo 5:Guardians). Nowhere near where this show takes place.
  3. Halo: Forward Until Dawn and Halo: Nightfall web series. Also this show is its own timeline according to 343 Industries:
  4. A Halo live-action has been sitting in dev-hell since the Halo 3 days (well, 2005 to be more precise). It's just taken till now to actually materialize into something for screen. First thing that popped in my head with this rendition of Cortana was it looked like how they rendered Isabel from Halo Wars 2 (and for reference, Isabel's VA Erika Soto). It's like they rendered the flesh tones along with the mo-cap of the face as well for Cortana.
  5. Mando needs a gunship-type ship, given his profession. But he wants a pre-Empire ship. It's like saying he wants a 1970 Volkswagon Transporter but he's got a '69 Mustang (Naboo N-1).
  6. Yeah, the first was good. #2 and #3 were OK. I liked the simplified controls but it got a little bit Call-of-Duty-like with the action. I guess to appeal to the console and COD-players.
  7. Can I play Crysis? Would love to if I had a video card that could play it...
  8. 1-3. Would have added some better interactions, but I could see those cut for time. 4. Would have been nice to show it wasn't all bad in the court of public opinion. 5. WTF? I WOULD have cut that out too. That just makes no frakin' sense. 😵 10. Darn. 11. Darn.
  9. 45 days after the theatrical release.
  10. OK episode. Best flashback episode...but I guess that means we're caught up to the present so no more flashbacks. So far, it's not the best show. It's been OK. Not good, but not bad. Just OK.
  11. This is the 2nd reported tech-related buyout in my feeds today (the other one has no relation to this thread). WTF is with the news drops today... Microsoft to Buy Activision Blizzard in $68.7B Video Game Mega-Deal
  12. This is the costume they are basing the movie suit on (from 2014).
  13. Probably not. More of a need for newer VFs. If there was little need to newer tech, then why spend the money? M7 never had a need for newer VF-tech since they didn't encounter many significant threats until the Protodevlin. And obviously, the VF-17 didn't live up to the Jenius' needs so they went with a VF-22. Everyone would love newer tech, but do you really need it?
  14. In the comics (and sorta in the Nolan-films), Bruce would take mothballed prototypes and "move" them to a "different facility". Of course, there's also this 🤣:
  15. I'm actually fine with that design, given the setting. The Batmobile started as a muscle car and worked up to urban tank. If this Batman gets beyond this flick, they should start sleek-ifying the suit, cave and toys. From the slap-together look to the look we know an love.
  16. You should know the answer to that. Unless there’s a “Misa Hayase” born to a “Takashi & Sakiko Hayase” or a “Linn Minmei” born in Yokohama in the birth records. Or someone sustaining a nuclear fusion reaction in 1995 (Tore Supra did it for 2 minutes in 1996).
  17. CES is this week (muted again this year) AMD CPUs roundup AMD mobile GPU updates Intel announcements And another high-end card no one can buy.
  18. Not to mention Zentradi star charts are either woefully outdated, inaccurate, or hell, uncharted. Zentradi are using maps created in Protoculture times. Suns may have gone nova, planets may no longer exist, habitable planets may not be habitable anymore or vice versa, black holes may have formed, stellar drift, hell... gravity, etc. They're not wandering aimlessly, they're wandering with the aim of finding stuff along the path they pick.
  19. Yes they are comprised of male and female. Kissing and music? We don't know because no one besides the Zentradi/Meltrandi have really encountered them (and we don't know when their last encounter was amongst all the fleets out there). As we saw is Macross 7, kissing did nothing and only Basara's singing had any real effect. If the brainwashing techniques hold true for the SA as they did for Varauta army, it's gonna take more than any singer and PDA to break that brainwashing. But since no one has encountered them, we don't know. You're just going have to accept that answer.
