The sequel will probably be better.

It's just 2 hours of digging through a pile of guns and debating stats.
This is why I can never get into these sorts of games (see also Diablo-likes). I get too caught up on "Which is better" and "This might be useful eventually." And then I run out of storage space and stop playing.

Yeah they released some characters in shadow pics last year.

Green arrows pointing up good! Elements good! Gun that is worth more is generally better. Compare guns with other guns of the same type.. also if not sure test the new weapon out on some nearby enemies before making a final decision. And I pretty much ignore commons and uncommon items. Don't get too attached to guns as you level, you'll keep finding new ones.

Same applies to diablo though, focus on legendaries that support your favorite skills

It seems they've nailed the look for the film. Hopefully the comedic qualities are not all displayed in the trailer.
It has some good casting, but it's been in development hell with delays and reshoots, so I'm cautiously hoping for a good film.

Fandom in online comments is going batshit over casting. Basically for views that come off as ageist, etc.

Also apparently Ashly Burch, who voiced Tiny Tina and is a pretty accomplished actor in her own right, should have been given the role of Tiny Tina (who's 13 in the game), despite being in her 30s. Kind of reverse ageism on that one.

No one wants to have nice things.

But they did not nail Lilith. She's a woman in her early 30s, while her actor is mid 50. Visually this does not match, and Blanchett seems to be full of Botox anyway.

Also regarding humor: it seems they want to tell the story of the first game ever, but as we all know there was not much of it in or much of a story. This changed with part 2 and the introdution of Handsome Jack. So we will have to see.

I am glad to see it as a series instead of a movie. There's a lot to pack in. Giving time to tell the story is a good sign.

Here's something I never imagined we needed, but I'll definitely watch it.

Rob Reiner’s Spinal Tap sequel is real, is already filming, and has even more famous cameos
People in Hollywood love to talk a big game when it comes to highly anticipated projects that everyone wants them to make, but for every 10 or 100 failed sequels that never get past the “we’re having meetings about it” stage, there’s maybe one George Miller who actually hauls a bunch of miserable actors into the desert and makes them hate each other in pursuit of a perfect and beautiful masterpiece. Rob Reiner’s sequel to This Is Spinal Tap might not be the next Mad Max: Fury Road, but much like that movie, it has defied the odds and is really going to happen—and, also like Fury Road, it will feature at least one weirdo with an electric guitar.

Surely with an amp that goes up to at least 11.

Got to keep milking that alien cow.



I knew the Romulans were behind the xenopmorphs! (Star Trek joke...)

This is supposed to be set between the events in Alien and Aliens. Not sure how it fits in there, but...Did the one Ripley blow out her escape shuttle make it to another ship?
