To be clear: I don't have the MMO addictive tendencies, I get bored way too fast (I have gotten a strong dislike for grinding). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elite:_Dangerous shadowsword87 posted... UPDATE: I was told to not get into it by a streamer because I was a poor college student, so that's no good. It's a game where you can literally lose hundreds of dollars worth of real world money in seconds when players blow up your stuff, so yeah, it's really, really not a game for the poor. Or for people with lives. Or outside interests. Zeus posted... That same thing was a turnoff with Fox back when it first started to get into the comics game with X-Men, although they've been improving. I usually don't give Fox too much flak, because they sort of came right out of the door swinging with the original X-Men films. Apart from Blade (which predated them by a few years), it was really the first time a Marvel movie was done RIGHT. Fox had a few stumbles later on, but it never really seemed like they were embarrassed to be making comic book movies, as much as they didn't quite understand what made certain properties successful in the first place. So their main weakness was more when they picked filmmakers who should never have been working on a certain film, rather than a more endemic problem that taints every film. I'd probably lump Sony into that same sphere. In both cases, it seems like the success or failure of a given movie creatively hinges on the director, whereas with the DC films, it feels like failure is kind of inevitable even before a director is cast because the higher-ups are actively sabotaging themselves. Fox and Sony are at least capable of getting lucky and casting a director who respects and understands the source material and is capable of nurturing it, even if they don't always DO that. That being said, Sony seems to be sabotaging the deal with Marvel already while Fox shat out the last Fantastic Four movie, so I'm not cutting either of them TOO much slack. Zeus posted... If VKM was capable of planning ahead these days, I would almost wonder if the first loss was meant to just Reigns over since, to some extent, everything with Brock the first time seemed to build up Reigns. Supposedly, it's being hinted that the current plan is to keep the belt on Brock and then feed him to Roman as well, because the WWE refuses to rest until they've managed to brainwash us all into loving him in spite of the fact that everything they try just makes people hate him worse. His promo on Raw should be absolute proof that he could be the hottest heel the company has ever had if they'd just TURN him NOW. But they won't, because he still sells T-shirts, and all they can see when they look at him is Samoan Cena. Zeus posted... The thing that kills me about the Hardyz is that the Broken gimmick is off the table right now thanks to that TNA lawsuit. So yeah, they're back but they're just the Hardyz again (and man is it hard to get used to Matt acting like Matt). Great way to introduce them, though. Matt's been trying to play it coy, because they're still suing TNA over it, and the WWE has openly said they're providing legal support if they need it. Hard to say if they'll get the rights, but there ARE precedents that could allow it, and TNA (sorry, IMPACT) is on shaky ground in a number of ways (like not paying Reby or her dad). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...
