Nick Fury shows up and says... Tony turned him down?

So does this movie take place before the post-credits scene of Hulk then? Tony said he was looking for

This particular bit of chronology is a mess that needed some of the most heavy handed retconning Ive ever seen

I think the official line ended up being that Iron Man 2, Incredible Hulk, and Thor all took place within the same week in-universe.

Do you have access to the One-Shots as well? Theyre short but have their moments.

Im in a small town in Ohio and while we dont get quite the same group sizes as Drak, gyms regularly change hands (usually multiple times a day) and EX raids get the job done. Its definitely still a thing, just a quiet one. The Go is dead narrative seems to really just be based on comparison to the absolute monster it was when it first came out.

Now, I just got back into the game and been really appreciating it

How does the stamina work?

And realistically how long would it take me to get through all the cutscenes to where we are if that's all I did?

Stamina is usually turned off completely. Im always surprised when I actually run out because its so rarely active.

I'm super interested in the Union X stuff since I stopped playing basically as soon as that game started to even have an actual plot. (Mind that was actually like hundreds of missions in. X_X)

If you feel like getting back into it, the newest update makes it so you can pretty much skip from one cutscene to the next unless youre trying to play Proud Mode.

most people don't seem to know that maul didn't die in phantom menace

he survived and had like robot spider legs and ran a galactic mafia for like twenty years

until he went to tatooine to try and kill old obi-wan and lost again

it's like one of the very few things from the eu that disney kept

Most of that is from The Clone Wars, the CGI show. Under the old system it officially outranked everything but the live-action movies anyway, so it and its accompanying movie were kept when everything else went away. The last bit about Mauls final confrontation with Obi-Wan is from the recently-ended Rebels though.

Part 4: New Events

31 May: FF15 Event with Ignis (41:42). Collectors event, where you can trade for items.

11 June: 30th anniv special dungeon with warrior of light wardrobe (42:09)

14 June: FF3 Challenge event w/ recruitable Barbariccia (42:32). Revenge event for ff4 on 17 June with Palom/Porom adult wardrobes

20 June: Dissidia Collab event (43:00).

24 June Summer Sun Festival 2018 (Fest event) (43:30):

New gift dungeons added for 14 days, can earn 52 mythril. Begins 24 June. Similar to the gift dungeons in 3rd anniv.

Special event where you will fight the weapons from FF7

New quiz dungeon with ragtime mouse. He will ask questions about scenes depicted in the record dungeons released from may 30. Can get new music records from ragtime.

25 June, Music record dungeon released, where you can search for music from the games. Duneons are low difficulty, and you can find music for your music hall.

Unparalled Darkness event where you fight Zeromus. One of the strongest bosses ever faced in ffrk.

Power up dungeons unlocked.

Relic draws and login bonuses:

Special relic draws to celebrate Overhaul and relic draw (48:40) (these look like the ones from the 3rd anniversary survey). Overhaul Relic draws in 2 phases, first on 30 May, 2nd on 1st June. No word if these will be full price, half price, or free. The video shows 2 banners (phase 1 and 2). Phase 1 banner shows cloud/noctis/rosa/ok and phase 2 shows Lightning/kain/relm and OK again. No indication what types of relics (ie USB/BSB/SSB on each banner). /u/guadosalam suggests that these draws are the same as JP: Here and here.

Realms on Parade start 9 June. Note: as in Japan, 15, T and type 0 still share the same banner. Everything stays the same as last parade, including price.

3 phase lucky relic draw for summer sun festival. Phase 1: Elemental infusion burst/ultra. Phase 2 is 5 star or higher overstrike (I assume these will all be 6 star). Phase 3 is a '5 star or higher' USB only lucky draw (do these guys even play their own game)? Edit: Translation here is pretty confusing, so you can read for yourself at around 50:10 of the video. /u/LilitthLu suggests phase 2 and 3 will be one guaranteed 6* with the rest of the pull being 6* or less

Summer sun festival will have new arcanes and chains. Lineup for these banners still under wraps.

Login bonuses:

From 24 June, there is a login bonuses including 10 mythril and other gifts for the summer sun fest.

10 mythril for everyone for watching this video (will be in inboxes on 25 May). (thanks to /u/clithertron)

Havent watched it myself but I found a summary on Reddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/8ls1ty/annotated_summary_of_producers_video/

Part 1: Answering FB Q&A

Not actively working towards more collabs, but they seem encouraged by KH collab enthusiasm

Realm, nightmare, mote and magicite dungeons half price from June 19 to July 18

Would like to improve communication with international players. Answer is non-committal, just saying they enjoyed talking to some international players when producer went to Kuwait.

Ignis will join the game 31 May (we already knew this!).

Elarra is recruitable in Record Dungeons and she is a healer (we knew that too!)

Lots more opportunities to get motes:

FF6 Event may 24 gives more motes (duh)

Mid June Fest is called Summer Sun Festival 2018 (will discuss more later). Will have 4 and 5 star motes as login bonuses

The surprise item draw that global got on Black Friday may be coming back but if it does, it will be only for a limited time.

Main way they will continue to communicate with players is how theyve always done by tweaking things in game.[...]

Part 2: Record Dungeons

Arrives May 30th. Art shown at 17:10 of video. New original characters in the art are biggs and wedge (they also talk about namingway and shadowsmith, who weve seen before). This art will become the new title screen[...]. In art, tyro and elarra arent wearing hats they talk about tyros bangs for a bit.

Home screen changes. Example shown at 20:40

Record dungeons open with a movie recapping Tyros adventures. Shown at 21:45

Record dungeons made up of islands each representing a separate chapter. New music arrangement called journey of memory. Is an entirely new arrangement.

Corrupted Paintings and Record Paintings described at 24:08. Corrupted paintings DONT require stamina, record paintings DO.

At 26:30: Party members are fixed in corrupted paintings (they mimic the party in the scene in the original game). There are side dungeons as well, which can be either record or corrupted dungeons. So when fighting the guardian scorpion in ff7 (first boss), you can only have tyro/elarra AND cloud and Barrett (who were the only ones who fought the guardian scorpion in FF7)

Example of party setup and dungeon exploration at 28:10 (FF7 reactor scene)

FFX Zanarkand scene in pixel art shown at 29:50

Tyro and Elarra will interact with the games and may influence their events

THERE WILL BE A 100 MYTHRIL GIFT AS A REWARD FOR RD LAUNCH (32:22). GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE. /U/ConcernedKeeper can finally be at peace, we are more than equal with missing daily mission rewards now. Also, given the other announcements where more mythril is given, this will add up (unclear if more mythril gifts are being referred to in the future, or if reflecting on the past)

Stamina cost will be removed for Record paintings for a limited time following the update.

Part 3: Game Updates

Music hall will let players choose their favourite music to play on the home screen.

Acolyte archives (36:40): All missions that are completed before will be carried over.

Book of trials is about guiding new players, and is split up into different parts. Completing gives a free 3x draw with guaranteed 5 star and free choice relic. Rewards range from unique, and later super and bursts.

Upcoming balance changes:

Naga Sea Witch: 8 Mana (up from 5)

In update 9.1, we introduced a rule change to increase the consistency of Hearthstone game mechanics. The change affected precisely when Naga Sea Witchs cost change was applied to cards. This allowed it to be combined with the cost reduction effects on giants, and as a result, it became fairly easy to reduce their mana cost to 0.

We think Hearthstone is better all around when interactions are consistent, and we like the fact that a Naga Sea Witch giants deck archetype exists. That said, we also understand that, with its current functionality, this deck can generate early board states that are unreasonable for most classes to deal with. By increasing the cost of Naga Sea Witch to 8 mana, the decks concept remains intact, but the combo is delayed until later in a match when more decks are likely to have the tools to handle the arrival of so many giants.

Spiteful Summoner: 7 Mana (up from 6)

After set rotation arrived with the Year of the Raven, Spiteful Summoner became more powerful and consistent when used in decks containing 10 mana cost spells. This is because the pool of 10 mana cost minions in Standard is smaller, so players could more reliably count on getting a powerful minion from Spiteful Summoners effect. Even considering the deckbuilding sacrifices that an effective Spiteful Summoner deck requires, we think that increasing the cards mana cost to 7 is more in line with the powerful outcomes that are possible when its used alongside cards like Ultimate Infestation.

Dark Pact: Restores 4 Health (down from 8)

There are two aspects of Dark Pact that make it powerful. At a cost of 1 mana, its easily used alongside cards like Carnivorous Cube, Possessed Lackey, and Spiritsinger Umbra for big combo turns. It also gives Warlocks enough healing potential so that aggressively using Lifetap and playing cards like Kobold Librarian and Hellfire feel less consequential. We left Dark Pacts cost intact so it can still be used as part of interesting combos, but lessened the healing it provides so Warlocks will need to more carefully consider how much damage they take over the course of a match.

Possessed Lackey: 6 Mana (up from 5)

Some of the card combos involving Possessed Lackey present situations that are too difficult to deal with in the early-to-mid stages of the game. Increasing its mana cost to 6 delays some of those powerful card combos to turns that are easier for opposing decks to overcome.

Call to Arms: 5 Mana (up from 4)

Currently, there are three popular Paladin decks: Even Paladin, Murloc Paladin, and Odd Paladin. Among the three decks, Even Paladin and Murloc Paladin have consistently been the most powerful two archetypes over the first few weeks since the release of The Witchwood. Call to Arms moving to 5 mana restricts it from being used in Even decks and reduces its power somewhat when used in Murloc and other Paladin decks.

We expect that players will experiment with Call to Arms at 5 mana in Odd Paladin decks, but we dont expect this card to have much of an impact. This is because Odd Paladin cant access 2 mana minions (meaning Call to Arms could only ever summon three 1 mana minions if played in that deck).

The Caverns Below: Minions will be 4/4 (down from 5/5)

The Quest Rogue deck uses a strategy thats strong against slow, control-heavy and fatigue decks, but struggles against most other deck archetypes. Theres a fine line between being powerful against very slow decks and being powerful versus virtually all non-aggressive strategies. By changing the quest reward to make the resulting minions 4/4 instead of 5/5, Quest Rogue should still be a reasonable option versus slow, extreme late-game decks, but offer a less polarized matchup with more moderate control decks.

IIRC Rare themselves handled that remake

I theorize because it was on a handheld it was "okay"

Yes, since Microsoft didn't have its own handheld they allowed it. They didn't allow them to use any Rare characters in it though, so Banjo and Conker were removed. There was also Banjo-Pilot which Microsoft allowed Rare to make on GBA since they weren't competing in that sphere.

Also on GBA, Banjo-Kazooie: Gruntys Revenge.

Israels a hugely important thing to the evangelical community, so from a voter base standpoint theres that to consider on its own.

That's stupid strategically for a number of reasons.

-Putting relationships of several countries at risk for a group of voters is not in the best interests of the country, and purely political.

-What are the evangelicals going to do? Vote for the pro-choice, pro-welfare party?

I mean, I was literally taught in high school that the only reason God hadnt destroyed America at this point was because of the support for Israel. Its kind of a big deal there.

(That said, its obviously only one of several factors, just the one Im personally most familiar with.)

I also hear that the investigators in Iran were extremely limited in what they could do with their investigations.

Inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the global nuclear watchdog, continuously monitor Iran's declared nuclear sites and also verify that no fissile material is moved covertly to a secret location to build a bomb.
Iran also agreed to implement the Additional Protocol to their IAEA Safeguards Agreement, which allows inspectors to access any site anywhere in the country they deem suspicious.
Until 2031, Iran will have 24 days to comply with any IAEA access request. If it refuses, an eight-member Joint Commission - including Iran - will rule on the issue. It can decide on punitive steps, including the reimposition of sanctions. A majority vote by the commission suffices.
