As a rare Rings of Power enjoyer, a lot of the quotes coming out of SDCC are giving big Rise of Skywalker vibes to me. Sure, the show's going to change over time and try to draw in new audiences but between the timeskip and talking balrog, the vibes seem off for S3. www.ign.com/articles/the...

Don’t expect to see the Harfoots in The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 3. They’re taking a “backseat,” co-showrunner J.D. Payne has said.

I've been playing Tiny Tina's Wonderlands and I have no strong opinions about the character this game is named after, but many questions about how this was made. For one, why so many pirates? When I started fantasy Borderlands, I didn't anticipate quite how many hours of pirates would be involved.
knowing ahead of time that Reacher is about a really large man who appears to have grown his muscles exclusively for the purposes of respecting women did not even slightly prepare me for how large he is or how much he respects women

I am very skeptical about WOTC revamping Dark Sun but all the concept art they've shown looks very Diablo-like in a way that really does light up the nodes in the back of my brain www.wargamer.com/dnd/dark-sun...

Not all that interested in D&D x WoW but it does give me hope that a Universes Beyond set for a property I actually like may be on the horizon
I will say that I found the connection to Rogue Orbit very off putting but more open-minded about Gundam RG XARX-ZERO after watching the trailer. I like the way it looks, but I need more evidence of bureaucracy shenanigans www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OE2...

The hilarious thing about Marvel trying to pitch Doomsday as a double feature with Dune Part 3 is that I will literally watch the previous two Dune movies as a lead in to the new one instead
The fact that they're citing 08th MS Team as a key text for this Gundam movie is, uh, interesting www.whats-on-netflix.com/news/netflix...

I swear to god it's absolutely infuriating to be playing Marathon regularly and then watching the 20+ minute queue times disappear every time Bungie opt to add a time-limited PVE mode to the game and then see that situation revert every time they take it out www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ma...
Marathon's experimental PvE mode is live, immediately tripling its daily player count

Bewildered that we are remaking Carrie again to begin with but even more baffled that this adaptation is being done as a TV series? I like it enough but the source material is so slight that King himself added the meta-framing elements because he needed to pad it out.
Cannot believe Labor is going to find a new way to annoy and disappoint me
