(seriously, how the fuck did Austin get three votes?)

He comes off as extremely likeable to me and I can see that translating to the social game in-game??

Bruce didn't give his reason but he was always a wild card... but Kendra voting for him, and I know she gave her reason (which i already forget) but yeah it's a surprise. At least it made things a little more interesting when the votes were being read off.

uncertainty of a Dee win? if Jakes wins firemaking (as they alluded to him being good at) he can use those lawyering skills to make some compelling arguments in front of the jury, enough to pick up the non-Rebans? I'm always predicting finale episodes incorrectly though, it feels like...

Im hoping when Jake said "I got 7 votes - and no more" it was foreshadowing a 7 vote win and not a 0 vote goat

I like Jake but yeah I'm just not seeing his path to victory.... I guess if it's him/Julie/Katurah after a strong final episode? then he gets 7 and Dee gives the 1 to Julie so the 7-1-0 streak is maintained. Not outside the realm of possibility!!

Finished watching the shows

-disappointed in Amazing Race winners (was rooting for either of the other 2 teams) but fair enough, they earned it
-would've liked to have seen Drew attempt to face the jury & probably get shredded by them, so got robbed of that possibility

Though since Emily went out I was really reduced to just rooting for Austin so yeah, bracing myself for another disappointing outcome e.g. Jake idol knocks him out in 5th... but surely the winner is either him or Dee right? and I'm still not feeling a Dee win? and surely not any of the other three either, right? I've been so wrong before though so who knows.

What is funny is each final tribal result of the new era, the past four seasons, ended in 7-1-0 votes. Looking forward to seeing if that trend continues, lol.

watch through the credits for season 1 finale, there's a scene after. There are postcredit scenes here and there in other seasons but I forget when so also worth checking.

Also hope you're doing the sub because while people noted the series is over, the dub for the final "episode"/movie won't be out for a while. There was a 6 month gap before the dub for the second-last episode was released which would put the last episode dub release at May 2024 if same timeline, so, yeah...

I started a XIII trilogy replay to keep pace w/ BCT's topic and then I never did and tonight I finished Lightning Returns. Timer on final save was 109 hours 54 minutes so definitely 110+ considering restarts. All three game replays probably topping 250 hours, geez. Now gotta start putting this time to the backlog of never-played games before the inevitable February 7R replay leading up to February 29...

LR > XIII > XIII-2 hierarchy remains intact though XIII level design was a lot worse than I remember. Maybe an extra ">" in each of those two equivalencies, tbh.

Read through the topic and yeah, everything basically lines up with what I was thinking/feeling. Not sure I agree with the game not having very good writing, I think it could be a mix of some info still not being relayed yet (for plot purposes), but also maybe some more helpful info being dumped in the datalogs. Neither of the next two games have that issue, at least.

re: Raines boss fight, it messed me up bad in my replay too, I forget if I gave in and just threw a Sentinel in there, or if I figured it out some other way (or got lucky). But if you can get past him (and a little more) you get to what is my favourite part of the whole trilogy so hang in there!!!

Yeah, but he's a man made of rocks and boulders and they're probably just going to do what they do with Hulk. Nobody complains Mark Buffalo isn't big enough to be Hulk.

Again I was literally only referring to his pre-Thing human form. Ruffalo as Bruce Banner makes sense, I'd expect human-form Ben Grimm to have a physical build closer to like, John Cena? That's just me though and we agree none of that matters and he's a great actor and sounds great and yadayada!

Sam Raimi is the top choice to direct Secret Wars and Kang Dynasty. Not clear how likely it is to finally happen, but Feige wants someone who has delivered for the MCU before to direct the two movies. Jon Favreau and Ryan Coogler are the other top choices.

this is making me pine for the Russo brothers era really badly, damn.I'd prefer Favreau out of those three I think since I feel like he "gets" the MCU more.

ok just finished watching Survivor and Amazing Race and WOW.

AUSTIN'S SANDWICH VENGEANCE - COMPLETE.

Kellie by far my favourite on Survivor, damn, brutal blindside but really well executed... don't know who to root for, I guess I'm on Team Emily now? Though the good news is I like something about everyone left (except Julie) so should be entertained the rest of the way at least. Still sad.

So following up that heartbreak with Amazing Race and it looks like Anna Leigh and her father were going out for the majority of the episode and they're my #1 team on that show and I can't remember (if ever) losing both my #1s in the same night when the two shows aired together and it suckeddddd but damn what a miracle recovery. Even if going for the express pass is such a dumb move in that situation (not to mention missing the "taken" sign)

Also missed replying in the last topic:

friends, if you have access somehow, you should watch The Traitors Canada

Started watching it after I visited my parents and they were watching it. It's good...ish. Big fan of the two traitors, not so much a Mai fan since her clash w/ the legendary Rick the Temp lol (she is definitely cute though)

-Characters impaled or slashed by swords, sometimes with slow-motion effects

Nibelheim 5 years ago has Tifa getting slashed and - assuming they show the "true" history in Rebirth - Cloud getting impaled, or alternatively we could just see new footage of Sephiroth going ham on the townsfolk. Remake's ESRB rating had "characters impaled by swords (off-camera)". Also just remembered Tseng in the Temple. So let's not assume!!!

not impugning his acting chops and after watching some Bear clips I'm sold on the voice/mannerism potential, I'm just saying I remember Ben Grimm having a different physical build that he doesn't fit. Which again, doesn't matter unless it's an origin story or there's pre-power flashbacks and even then is just me nitpicking. That's all!!

Now I looked up the 2015 FF movie bomb and I saw they had Jamie Bell cast as him which again doesn't fit in my mind but I guess my mind is off... also with a heaping dose of nostalgia-bias towards the 2000s-era FF casting, lol.

I'm assuming they're going to want to get 10 years of X-Men and FF arcs out there like the 2008-2018 Iron Man to Endgame timeframe so he'd be 60+ by the time that stuff's done?

More than that I definitely assumed he was younger like, Franklin Richards was a child? I guess mid 40s can still work for that so maybe that's a "my bad" moment (actually an incredible "my bad" moment because John Krasinski is apparently 44 years old, holy crap am I bad at judging ages or what lol)

Aerith kept her finals vs Kefka closer than Cloud did in this, Aerith > Cloud confirmed (don't mind my eternal cope)

well-deserved by Kefka, certainly by beating Auron who was the defacto #1 it would've been a shocker if Cloud won. maybe a little bit of luck in bracket placement & outcomes as pointed out in the writeup, I wonder if Squall would've won a matchup vs. Kefka. It is pretty funny that Cloud beat all three FFX ladies in a row & pretty close to Tidus semifinals and Auron finals too for a potential 5-straight, that would've been something.

Thanks for running this guffguy - was a lot of fun!
