Avengers looks fantastic.  It stars a ton of characters who might be considered B tier, but still looks fucking better than a movie starring Batman, Superman and Wonderwoman.  I hate to say this because I love Batman,Superman and Wonderwoman, but DC may need to just start over.  They’ve totally dropped the ball here.

This was my favourite series growing up and they are fucking it over.

GG Silver Surfer might go to Marvel soon. Fox is looking to sell it's movie studio to Disney along with the rights to all their movies.

I actually liked X-Men at Fox and don't really want it to be apart of the MCU their movies were better than Marvel's in my opinion. The only two bad ones are Last Stand and Apocalypse.

SUPER MARIO MAKER LEVELS:

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)
  • Storm the Castle (77BD-0000-00E0-A9C0)

Yeowch.

Would alcohol help?

I actually dipped a guass pad in some jack daniels and stuffed that in my mouth. It helped a bit. As it turns out I had a bad abscess in the tooth next to the one I got crowned. This tooth has been shady for awhile but I wasn't expecting this anytime soon. It infected my gums which caused the insane pain. Now I'm taking penicillin for a week which has already started to knock it down. I have a giant ball forming in my gum next to the tooth, full of yummy stuff. Can't wait until it pops.

You know when Lionsgate made the Planet Hulk movie they actually had to replace the SS with Beta Ray Bill because of Fox. For some reason they tied his character exclusively to the Craptastic Four.

I've been eyeballing that game Biomutant for awhile now. It's on my Steam wishlist. I really dig the style and vibe of it. This and that game Vampyr from the Life is Strange guys, I'm really hoping they both deliver. Old school vibes get me excited.

Oh hell man, I went through something like that a couple years ago. Pissed me off too. You take the time to brush, floss, etc and you still have stuff like this happen. Ended up getting a root canal. Hope the pain ends soon enough.

Xenoblade 2 reviews

DualShockers: 9.5/10

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is one of those RPGs that I didn’t want to end. Luckily, there is enough post-game content to satisfy players looking to sink 100’s of hours into more adventures with Rex and the party. However, I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I was left with as the end credits rolled. I feel like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 showed me what it’s like to go on a real adventure and it happens to be one that I don’t think I will ever forget.

Nintendo World Report: 9,5/10

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is one of the finest JRPGs of the generation and perhaps of all time. The two or three complaints I have are nitpicks, the most significant of which likely won’t occur for players taking their time and enjoying the incredible world that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 creates. Washing over any minor issues is one of the most engaging stories I’ve ever played, a vastly improved and fun combat system, and an out-of-this-world soundtrack. It sets a precedent for JRPGs on the Switch that I doubt will be topped, unless of course Monolith Soft somehow manages to pump out a Xenoblade Chronicles X 2 before the end of the generation.

RPGsite - 9

Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an extraordinary game that stays true to the ideal, classic RPG experience. Monolith Soft has meticulously crafted a typical boy-meets-girl and save-the-world story into an endearing tale that feels fresh. The amount of thought and work put into the world of Alrest is jaw-dropping. It’s masterfully put together with incredible cutscenes, a charming cast, a thrilling battle system, and an exceptional soundtrack. Technical performance issues and a troublesome method in acquiring new Blades blemish the experience a little, but no JRPG fan should give this a pass. This year has brought us a great deal of superb RPGs and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 magnificently stands tall among them to close the year out with a bang.

Good reviews for xenoblade, I still don't think I will pick it up anytime soon. I am battling carnage who is of course descrediting the reviews saying that xenoblade sold poorly so that shows no one liked it. Lol

Do you have teeth that are really close together? That's how mine are and it seems like people who don't have well spaced out teeth end up having tons of issues no matter how well you try to take care of them. I know other people who have near perfect teeth and don't take care of them at all. Really sucks, especially with how expensive it is to get work done to your mouth. Luckily, the pain is pretty much gone now....I was up like 30 hours straight monday into tuesday because of the pain. Ugh.

I can't stand when people try to gauge how good something is based on popularity. It literally has nothing to do with it. Especially in this day and age with the absolute garbage that gets tossed out there in the entertainment industry.

I hope they also put Xenoblade 1 and X on the Switch. I would buy them at a high price.

What's your opinion on reviews regarding playtime, guys? I remember way back reviewers were expected to complete a game to be qualified to review it. Now the number of short linear single player games is shrinking and/or there is so much post completion content - that I think most reviews are the equivalent of hot takes.

If I think about XCX, I sunk over 250 hrs into that game and seeing some reviewers at 30-60 hrs then reviewing it, I'm highly aware of a swathe of content that they haven't even seen yet. Now you can't expect a reviewer to be able to have that amount of time before doing a review, yet on the other hand there is tons of stuff they haven't seen or done. So how do you square it?
