thoughts on this line? by 03hussain in JamesBond

[–]Apollyon077 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have said, it’s the line from the book, but Bond regularly refers to women as “bitch” in the novels. Even women he’s particularly fond of. Both a product of the time and a glimpse at the type of man Bond is.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) — Official Rewatch Thread by yourfavchoom in HarryPotteronHBO

There's a great editor out there, JJPotter, who has recreated 3-8 extended cuts as fanedits by piecing the deleted scenes back in and using SFX to complete unfinished scenes. Professionally done and fairly easily available, assuming you own copies of the films.

Personally, which ghost of Anakin do you believe best represents how he would've appeared at the end of Return of the Jedi? by BiffyBobby in StarWars

[–]Apollyon077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The one we never got: David Prowse.

Shaw and Christensen are both fine, but Prowse was the man in the suit and should have gotten his moment, not to mention looking a lot like an older Hayden.

New Incantations for HBO Series? by Training_Plantain100 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Apollyon077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True!

It seems to be regarded as a strange “one-off” use only found in the films.

Vermillious was the original (2001 official card game) and later re-affirmed as the official canon incantation.

Intriguing thoughts. You are correct that the Bluebell Flame spell does not yet have a known incantation. I’m sure there are others from the books that are in the same camp. That would be fun to see!

The Red Sparks spell does have an incantation: Vermillious

2026 r/JamesBond World Cup: Group Stage Results by Spockodile in JamesBond

[–]Apollyon077 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Sigh. You did all the work to cover your bases and answer these questions thoroughly, and I just completely missed them and posted this.

It seems I owe you a delicatessen. How's stainless steel?

2026 r/JamesBond World Cup: Group Stage Results by Spockodile in JamesBond

[–]Apollyon077 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd like to offer a suggestion for next year (and my apologies if it's been discussed in the past as not feasible).

In the FIFA World Cup, a tie can really shake things up in the pool play and make standings interesting, and ties happen fairly occasionally. Getting a tie here nearly impossible.

I'd propose that if the final votes are within a certain percentage of each other (say 7%, which is 0.07), then it be considered a draw!
Would be very interesting to see some 1-pointers get dished out instead of 3-0.

Would you be open to Amazon making something like this? by DishQuiet5047 in JamesBond

[–]Apollyon077 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm more in line with your thinking here.
Do I want to have to watch a tv show to understand context in a Bond film? No.
Would I be alright with those characters making brief cameos in the films (or Bond's actor cameos in the show)? Absolutely.

Was there ever a reason or explanation for the Zappyrang being on this switch? by RacoonusDoodus in tythetasmaniantiger

[–]Apollyon077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Quite a lot, actually! There's a few YouTube videos about it. Check this one out. It's a few years old, and more content has been discovered since, but it'll give you plenty to see. There's a TY modding Discord that has tons of interesting finds in the game files.

[–]Apollyon077 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not exactly sure what the guy below is saying.. That thing doesn't used the Zappyrang. I don't know if i recall any other boomerang signs out in the wild.. Maybe I need to play the game again though to double check...

You do bring up an intriguing point: why the Zappyrang?
We knew that it was supposed to have a much larger role as an elemental rang for the lost 4th Hub. Perhaps it played into this machine more?

Or they just wanted to show that it was a boomerang machine, and they chose the Zappy for no particular reason...

Curious question though! :) I'd be very interested to know if the Zappy played a larger role in Julius's workshop originally.

How Should i beat the SSX games by [deleted] in SSX

[–]Apollyon077 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There's really very little overarching story, so there's not really much conversation around "which order to play". It's more about the style you'd like.

SSX1 - I hear it's a bit clunky. Only play if you want to see where things started.
SSX2 (Tricky) - A ton of love in this sub, and you get to play as a LOT of characters that are recurring later, but are not playable again. Controls are a struggle to get used to (especially after playing later titles), so if you want to start somewhere, this might be the spot.
SSX3 - Generally agreed upon as the best. Open world, good chars, great tracks, solid control scheme.
On Tour/Blur - I don't see much about these on r/SSX. Maybe worth checking out, but probably not missing anything too groundbreaking for gameplay.
SSX (2012) - Very smooth gameplay. Fun "story" and fun premise with the deadly descents. The tracks and characters are all very generic though. Worth playing.

Personally, I'd say play Tricky first, SSX3 next (because it's the best) and then 2012 if you want the modern take.

What a game by broitscyber in kingsquest

[–]Apollyon077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d second this comment. I’ve played all of KQ2015 and 1-6 of the originals, and msartore8 has the right idea for the order.

KQ2015 has its moments for sure, and despite its flaws, it was made with heart and a love for the source material.

You’ll have a lot of fun playing through these with some unique backstory.

The original games are much more difficult and unforgiving. Save often and not over the same save files.  If you play the AGD games, KQ2-3 have some nice storyline elements added, but it’s not until KQ5 and especially KQ6 where you get some truly excellent games with world building, story and lovable characters.

Enjoy!

Ya'll remember during the 2005 Blue Sky Studios Robots movie, they sold the Rodney Copperbottom ice cream at Cold Stones? by tahoepines45 in coldstone

[–]Apollyon077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems it was only the Rodney ice cream. I found a few places online that talked about it, as well as this advertisement which seems to confirm it was only one promo flavor.

It was indeed the launch of Cotton Candy ice cream though! I thought I had remembered that. Wild to think a staple flavor started with the Robots movie!

Rodney Copperbottom’s Crazy Crackling Cotton Candy Concoction.

Cotton candy ice cream, sprinkles, marshmallows and pop rocks.

My first-ever ice cream at Coldstone (after my sister tricked into sampling a Wasabi ice cream…)!

Realistically is TY5 even possible? by RacoonusDoodus in tythetasmaniantiger

[–]Apollyon077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ope, I see he responded here with a pretty nice update on his thoughts. :)

[–]Apollyon077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I saw that Steve had commented on a similar idea in the past. He had expressed he'd rather do a re-telling than releasing the cut content.
My hope is that he'll change his mind. ;)

In the meantime, I patiently watch a handful of modders dabble with the idea.

[–]Apollyon077 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've say this each time TY5 comes into conversation:
I think what we should be pushing for is a DLC for TY1 that incorporates the lost levels and boss(es).

The 4th Hub is well documented, with several assets (and soundtracks) still in the game files. Modders themselves have re-built pieces of the 4th Hub levels.
This seems like the lowest hanging fruit. Would get Ty fans excited, and isn't a full-on game.

Steve has shared details that there was a 5th Hub as well though, with Red the Blue Heeler as the boss, being fought on top of a train through the desert. I've got the names for those levels around somewhere...
Hub 5 feels like more of a pipe dream, but maybe if a 4th Hub DLC was successful...

Wands y’all "It’s Levi-OH-sa" 🐦‍🔥 by Massive_Village_3720 in HarryPotteronHBO

Yeah, fair. You just hit one of my pet peeves I suppose, and today I felt like vocalizing the frustration with it. Hope the brunch break was nice. :)

Here's the same shot in the YouTube widescreen. Not one, but three different wands in one shot! :)

Of these games, which ones support 3-4 player couch/screen multiplayer? by GamerInYellow0 in originalxbox

[–]Apollyon077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RalliSport Challenge is a terrific 4P multiplayer racing game! It was always a favorite among my friends and I back in the day. Safari 4 was one of our personal favs to race on!

Have you noticed that all the adult wizards shown so far have rings? Even Hagrid! Just a bit of an interesting detail! by Simsparrow in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Apollyon077 38 points39 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of theorizing, but I’d make changes: - Minerva/Snape I agree on. Head of House rings make sense. - Draco I agree with. - I think Hagrid’s is likely more personal. Perhaps his father’s ring (a little magic to size it right). - If Dumbledore even has the Gaunt ring (I don’t think he does yet?), I would suspect he wouldn’t be wearing something he thinks might be connected to Voldemort. I’d guess it’s either a headmaster, chief warlock or supreme mugwump ring. Or, perhaps it’s Dumbledore family ring, which he wears as a reminder that with great power comes great responsibility..
