I could've sworn I posted in here. I thoroughly enjoyed it. One of the best Marvel movies in a while. Lots of jumping off points for the rest of the phase and, of course, the new Avengers movie.

I liked that Invisible Woman was actually a key role player. I also wished they did a little more with this version of the Silver Surfer but there's only so much you can fit in the movie.

Can't wait for the sequel.

No one saw this movie? I'm hoping there is a showing this weekend... all last week was shot and we haven't been able to get out and see it as well.  There are showings today and tomorrow... but none listed for the weekend.

Looks like we MIGHT have to rent... but here's to hoping.  I get the whole watch movie in / rent sentiment due to expense.   For us, it is nice to get out and watch movies as well at times.

@BLUEVOODU lunar is one of those few RPGs that I really got into. FF9 was another one and also Chrono Trigger. I have played through Lunar on the GBA several times. I just really enjoy the characters and story. And I really enjoy the old school turn based battles. Just simple upgrading your equipment and leveling up. I grind because I want to crush the enemy with little to no harm done to my team. In the GBA version of Lunar I leveled up my team, maxed out, early in the game and walked through every battle after that. It felt good. On the Switch version it is not that easy to accomplish what I want.

Quote from: BLUEVOODU on November 17, 2025, 05:01:26 PMMaybe that's also why they're not bringing out the Deck 2 yet.

They're definitely waiting for hardware that provides a significant bump in performance.


Quote from: BLUEVOODU on November 17, 2025, 05:01:26 PMI am not trying to judge... but the new controller looks ... like not the greatest design?  Reminds me of the old Atari Jaguar Controller LOL.

I don't know if you can ever make a controller that is aesthetically pleasing when you have to place multiple trackpads and two thumbsticks. The most you can hope for is it's ergonomic. That's what I personally care about for sure. Not to mention, the TMR sticks.


Quote from: BLUEVOODU on November 17, 2025, 05:01:26 PMWaiting on a lot of prices right now... I wonder what they're going to charge.  Is there anything anyone is pumped for?

The Steam Machine for sure. I'm going to guess $550 for the SM only and $600 with a controller.

@Mai Valentine  --> Did you ever go back to Pokemon Blue, Red, and Yellow at any point?

I think my son is going to get this game at some point.  This looks like a great addition to the Pokemon Series.  I've had my fair share of complaints of the last couple releases (long story)... but I also dig the series a lot and have many things that I like as well.  I think it was mostly the odd looking "motorcycle" that was off-putting.  I know... picky.

Linus covered the new hardware in depth.

@targetrasp -- are you not as much of a fan of the tactics genre?    @SpartanEvolved  was also mentioning how hard it was in terms of difficulty. 

I haven't opened mine yet... of course... ???
