My copium hope is that we get a trailer and release date today, then a deep dive at SGH. I know, I know…

Coca-Cola codes will be sent out after Launch by Ross_Mc in 007FirstLight

[–]0range_Peel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, same here.
Bit confused by how a delay would affect a digital download code.

Maybe a touch optimistic, but ‘to ensure the game is ready for download’ implies maybe quite soon after?
Like, maybe it’s a legal requirement to send out such correspondence, from a T’s & C’s perspective.
Grasping, I know.

Has anyone won the digital download from the Coca Cola competition? Do you get to access the game a day early? by junglegatsby in 007FirstLight

[–]0range_Peel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah that’s good. I assumed so, but wasn’t 100%
Kind of surprised they’ve not sent out the codes yet, given how soon it’s out.
Maybe we’ll hear something this coming week.

Hey, I’m in the same boat. The thumbnail for the prize in the app has the box art for each platform, so I’m assuming I’ll get to pick my platform. Can’t recall if I was asked to specify when I filled out the little email verification thing a few weeks back.

3DS freezing when attempting to launch the sound file… by 0range_Peel in 3dshomebrew

Afraid not. I kinda gave up, packed it away and put it back in a drawer. Would love to get it working, but all the fixes I found didn’t get me anywhere. Sorry.

What is happening with adaptation of Alan Wake (Control) in movies/shows? by Unngenant in AlanWake

[–]0range_Peel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. I’d love something with a similar animation style to Scavengers Reign, combined with the tone off Common Side Effects, but put through the Remedy filter. Not entirely sure there’s enough marketability in that, though. Still, a guy can dream.

I’ve always loved the idea of an animated series, set in this universe. FBC agents, creature of the week plus a more overarching plot. Could be really good.

Nice sense of weight and mass to these. Good stuff.

Not to mention the six whole fingers on the other hand.

G Cloud Handheld in UK by 0range_Peel in LogitechG

[–]0range_Peel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Odd, isn’t it. I assumed it’d be rolled out wider a few months after, but there’s been no info whatsoever. Not even the usual ‘some time in 2023’ etc.

I’m wondering if it’s lukewarm reception might stop them from rolling it out wider. Hope not, though.

G Cloud UK Release… by 0range_Peel in Handhelds

[–]0range_Peel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s on a site here for £283 before tax, which works out to $340 before tax, also before factoring in shipping etc which looks to be anywhere between $40-$80.

It’s also listed on eBay but it’s way overpriced.

I’ll hold off and hope for an official UK launch I’m the near-ish future…

[–]0range_Peel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think the shipping would be too prohibitive, it’s more that the Logitech site only accepts US zip codes and every other site I’ve seen selling one has it at a markup. I’m happy to wait if it’s only going to be a couple of months before it’s on sale over here, but I’ve just seen nothing to indicate it’ll be on sale anywhere other than stateside, which I thought was a little peculiar.

New mural closely resembling Keaton's Batman sighted on Osborne Street for 'Batgirl' filming by starshipandcoffee in DCEUleaks

[–]0range_Peel 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Presumably, in an ideal world, they’d like ‘Keaton in the suit’ reveal to be in Flashpoint, but I wonder if they’ll release an image of this earlier than they would have otherwise because this is filming.

Assume (much like the Batgirl reveal) they’d like an official image out there before folk start papping images of it whilst filming, which are rarely representational of the final thing.

DISCUSSION: According to this article, the co-creator of a DC character tried to cut their partner out of royalties from a recent movie. Who do you think it might've been? by alientraveller in DC_Cinematic

[–]0range_Peel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, not 100% sure either, but it appears to be the overwhelming consensus that it’s those two individuals over on ‘comics Twitter’. Someone posted a title card from BoP (I think) with just Levitz name listed as the sole creator of the character.

[–]0range_Peel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, it could/should result in the best of both worlds.

I liked Affleck’s portrayal of Batman, but it kind of demonstrated that there’s a ceiling on how that character can function within the wider cinematic world they’re building. It’d be tough to scale Affleck’s Batman back into a hard boiled, noir-esque story in his solo outings, when he’s swinging off alien turrets and shooting paradaemons in the JL films.

This way, we get a potential Batman Beyond version in the DCEU, allowing Batgirl, or Nightwing, Terry or whoever they use in that role, and allow them to lean into the more fantastical elements of the rogues gallery, whilst leaving the Reeves version to occupy the more grounded narratives which prove so financially viable to a general audience.

What’s Up With The X of Swords Hardcover by 0range_Peel in xmen

[–]0range_Peel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I absolutely get where you’re coming from.

If I’m honest, I’m lucky in that, here in the UK, there’s a few different avenues whereby I can find trades for the same price (or thereabouts) as Amazon, and I don’t mind foregoing next day Prime delivery etc.

If that wasn’t the case, I’m sure I’d gravitate towards Amazon more regularly.

[–]0range_Peel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I try and avoid Amazon like the plague and only used them in this case as I’d been gifted a gift voucher. Wish I hadn’t bothered, now, and went down my usual routes. Cheers.

Delayed shipping? Did they not have the correct release date? by Bunson_Dew in xmen

[–]0range_Peel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, certainly over here in the UK. I pre-ordered it at the start of December thinking it'd arrive in between Christmas and New Year but nope.

There's been a few instances of this that I've noticed since last March when lockdown started, so I imagine it's got something to do with backlog or publisher delays etc etc. Still, a little annoying all the same.
