  1. I am playing, but it's on PS4 :(
  2. So I saw Civil War and while I've read the print edition, I didn't expect it to follow the print edition at all, I figured that they'd simply make this an internal rift between Cap and Tony, just like they've shown with the trailers. Obviously because the New Warriors weren't anywhere to be seen :). I think if you're going to make any big issue with any of the movie was that the villain that they were trailing in the beginning was rather wasted. I think it's probably the most solid Marvel movie since wave 1. Winter Soldier was an incredible movie until the third act when it got super lazy writing all of a sudden. I'd agree that putting Spiderman in the movie is... well, silly. And it stinks of Marvel hubris but it's not an issue in my opinion because he's there for fan service. While he played a big part in the print civil war, so did Danny Rand (as Daredevil) and you didn't see them doing anything with Daredevil. But, I felt it was an enjoyable movie, and much better than most recent Marvel offerings, and at least someone finally said "You know, we've never really addressed the end of Iron Man 3, might as well pay it some slight lip service.
  3. Batman v Superman Dawn of Justice: I'd give it a solid 8/10. I thought that the dream sequences were a touch sloppy and you could tell that they wanted the movie to be longer. I think Luthor was kind of a millennial's take on a corporate executive, but he definitely seemed more like the "original" Lex Luthor from way back when he was first introduced as more of a mad scientist and had red hair. Or it could be his son, that took over LexCorp after he died from Kryptonite poisoning. Regardless, he was no Gene Hackman but to be honest, Gene's take wouldn't have worked here either. However, I thought Ben Affleck was spot on as Batman, and I thought that Wonder Woman kind of stole the show towards the end. I am really looking forward to the unedited Directors Cut when it's released.
  4. The Sniper is awesome, especially depending on how you build them. I have one Sharpshooter who is just a freaking death machine. Rangers are amazing and completely able to tear apart squads easy enough. But they're also my favorite class, especially back when they were assault in X-Com 1. Not that you'd know... :)
  5. Been loving it. It's been super good, and it doesn't allow you to dawdle too long. It's super hard in the beginning but once you start getting upgrades it gets a little easier.
  6. Yeah, Chris Rush died yesterday too. Bad year for artists already.
  7. We are the Millers - 7.5/10 I thought it was a fun, slightly above average comedy. There are some scenes that had me almost falling off the couch, but it's not constant which is why it's docked a little.
  8. Constantine: 7.5/10 - Was a fun film. I thought it was well paced and thought out.
  9. Their stuff is actually really cheap, which is why it's so simple to replace. The plastic costs less than the box, and the entire package usually only costs a couple of dollars.
  10. Just started Man in the High Castle. It's pretty dang sweet.
  11. Well, my concern is usually big ships. I was playing against a Han ship yesterday that was basically re-rolling dice left and right. At some point, the measly 3 evade dice and the one evade token dice I have just don't seem to make much difference. Autothrusters are great at range, but since a TIE wants to be close, seems difficult to make them something that makes a four health ship worthy. Like I said, am going to try it out. The really tight turn does look nice.
  12. I haven't been blown away by the Inquisitor TIE. I think that it's simply too spendy, a common problem with Imperial ships. And you're paying probably an extra third as many points as you would for a Z-95. I will have to try it out for certain, because I want the guidance chips, but I can't see me playing a 4 hull ship that is that expensive. I think it looks super cool though. Super excited for Imperial Veterans. Makes the TIE defender almost not too spendy.
  13. Spectre - 6.5/10: Not my favorite Bond movie. Easily not my favorite of the Craig Bonds. It's odd, but I didn't mind the Quantum of Solace, and this one seems like just such a weird attempt at a movie after Skyfall. Of course, I still think Casino Royale was by far his best of the series so far. Fantastic Four - 4/10: Would have been higher if it weren't for that horrific Doom. The story wasn't awful and I actually give them props for doing something different. Episode Seven - 5/10: To call this anything less than plagiarism is to not be honest with yourself. I had a good time, but Disney decided to do something safe, unoriginal, and unimaginative. The 'shock' I saw coming when the cast was announced, and overall they seem to have written/filmed the movie to have a checklist of all the things that made A New Hope fun, with worse pacing and some big leaps. A die-hard Star Wars Fan who hated the prequels with disdain because they weren't remakes of the originals will have a great time. For someone looking for something new in the Star Wars Universe, who might actually have questions of why things are going on in this film, you will have some popcorn munching time but will probably come away thinking it's probably lining up as number 4 in your list of favorites. Deadpool Christmas Trailer - 8/10: That thing was hysterical. I have no doubt that Fox will somehow screw up the movie. But what they've shown so far is pretty dang funny.
