TopicDid you watch Hamilton yet?

It goes without saying that something huge is lost when watching just a screening of the play rather than seeing it live, which was amazing. Was hoping for an actual Hamilton movie, but during a pandemic this is the best we can have to see Hamilton, one of the greatest musicals of all time.

Yeah, I'm a huge Hammy fan and I'm not even American. I love it so so much. Spent nearly all of last year just singing the soundtrack in the car while driving to and from work.

Nasim Pedrad's sister Nina Pedrad was a producer on New Girl, and then Nasim Pedrad became a guest star on New Girl, then a recurring character, then a regular. And she was one of the best additions to the show in the later seasons, really helping with the overall vibe of the show and quality.

So having her was definitely needed and appreciated.

Why are you saying it like people are forced to watch mcu related stuff? They either can if they're into it, or they can just see one for the goofy/fun action scenes and colors and enjoy themselves that way, as per usual. Eg A friend watched black panther without caring about any of the other MCUs, and I know some that watched winter soldier but not the other movies, not even the other captain americas.

Or that it hasn't collapsed in on itself, being the first of its kind to be connected successfully. Probably because they didn't bother including tv and netflix and just stuck to the movies. The downside to including the other stuff we want is that it might get too big and not be able to sustain itself.

Such a boring and forgettable boss. I'm glad most games have done away with these ridiculously long marathon battles.

I don't typically like these kind of bosses, if at all, but removing the damage cap certainly helped. I didn't know if I was even gonna attempt the boss this time around but I did and am glad I beat him.

It's just so illogical. So on TV shows they describe the fluffer as "someone on a pornographic film set that keeps a male performer's penis erect in between scenes"

pegusus123456 posted...
To sum up. And this is going to sound really dumb because...well, because Gotham is really dumb. But it honestly makes it work.

In the penultimate season, Jerome Valeska - Gotham's version of the Joker - is killed. Before he dies, he sends a gift box of laughing gas (essentially Joker Venom + fear toxin) to his twin brother, Jeremiah. Jeremiah was essentially a good dude who had struck up a friendship with Bruce, but the gas drove him insane and turned that friendship into an obsession. While Jerome was the more manic interpretation of the Joker, Jeremiah is the colder, more calculating one. He plans to detonate giant bombs in strategic locations, toppling buildings and turning Gotham into a giant "maze," but his plans are thwarted. It's then that R'as Al Ghul allies with him, eventually leading to R'as' death and all of the bridges in Gotham being destroyed.

This leads the final season to being a loose adaptation of No Man's Land. It becomes an amazing mess. The main plotline is that the Secretary of Homeland Security is ultimately revealed to be Nyssa al Ghul. She wants to destroy Gotham for killing her father. She has Hugo Strange put mind control chips in the Riddler. Under her influence, Riddler blows up a building full of refugees to show the US government that the city's just full of criminals. She subsequently sends in a military squad led by one of Gordon's former military buddies, Eduardo Dorrance. After shenanigans, Gordon ends up on the hitlist and Dorrance ends up being badly injured. So what happens then? Nyssa has Huge Strange turn the dude into Bane.

In the midst of all this, Bruce and Selina are hunting down Jeremiah but ultimately fail. Jeremiah has had his forces build a tunnel under Wayne Manor and had a plastic surgeon turn two random people into lookalikes of the Waynes. With the help of the Mad Hatter, he has the lookalikes and Alfred hypnotized into thinking they're the Waynes too. He leads Bruce and the "Waynes" to the theater where a homemade Mask of Zorro is playing with Jeremiah as the star, taunting Bruce. He's essentially jealous that some random mugger forged such a deep connection with Bruce by killing his parents, so this is him try to retcon himself into Bruce's origin story. Which is actually a pretty cool idea for the Joker.

While that's happening, he's also planning to flood the river around Gotham with toxic chemicals to stop Gotham from rejoining the mainland. Lee Thompkins and Gordon sneak into the Ace Chemicals building to try and stop that, but they're caught and Jeremiah decides to use them as Bruce's surrogate parents instead of the lookalikes. So when Bruce gets to the alley, the two of them are hypnotized and ready to get shot. Obviously, that fails and Bruce and Jeremiah end up fighting in the Ace Chemicals building. You can probably guess what happens.

The last plotline is that Penguin's living large in this situation. When Riddler gets his chip removed, he convinces Penguin that they should get out of the city and try to build a submarine to escape. After some interruption from Penguin's secretary who has gone insane and is now taking orders from a puppet called Scarface, they get the sub up and running.

The climax is when Nyssa has a mind-controlled general order the destruction of Gotham. Everyone - including Penguin and Riddler - joins forces to hold back the army. I forget exactly how it happens, but they stop the army. Nyssa tries kidnapping Gordon's newborn baby, but that fails too and she escapes with Riddler's submarine.

The final episode's a timeskip ten years into the future. It's kind of blah honestly, mostly just setting up that oh yeah Batman exists.

Wow. Gotham wasn't a CW show was it?

i find Im usually pretty generous in how I rank games. I do it on less of a bell curve/percentile in which I compare games to each other, but rather just rank them on how much I enjoyed them for what they are. Like, keeping in mind the type of game Im playing, (an old school ARPG with old school design) it was much better than what I expected. Strong 8.5, solid 9

Oh don't get me wrong, I liked those games too. In fact, my first exposure to them were the DS game of Books 1 and 2 and I loved those, even though I was told I should hate them because they're terrible third party ports. So when the improved PSP version came along it was an even more fun experience.

Think you'll play all of them? Ys Memories of Celceta which was on the Vita was just recently ported to ps4 so that's next for me, before playing 8.
