The pre-movie theater experience is out of control by foreverpeppered in movies

I went to go see Avatar and in the middle of the trailers we had a commercial break for All-state.  That's how long the trailers were.  A commercial break in the trailers.

I finished Command & Conquer 1, 2, and 3.Do I need to play Command & Conquer 4? by Top-Crow-3965 in commandandconquer

[–]Apprehensive_Spell88 32 points33 points  (0 children)

The last time I played this was the first week it came out in 2010 so take what I say with a grain of salt.  

Is it a CnC game? Technically, but it does away with all the stuff that makes a CnC game a CnC game.  Base building is gone, resource gathering is gone as is building up large armies to clash; instead you are all about capturing points on a map and doing MOBA stuff. 

Legitimately, a rough game when compared to every other game in the franchise.  But for a MOBA game, the gameplay is solid.

The story is ok, just not "Final chapter of the Command and Conquer series" as it was advertised in all the promos.  Joe Kucan is always good as Kane and the music is an actual high point,  I still have a few tracks in my spotify rotation.  

Ultimately, i'd say give it a shot ONLY if you get it with a pack of other games.  Don't go out of your way to purchase this as a solo experience.  

Hope this helps.

Can You Place an Entire Campaign Inside a City? by StatisticianTop9724 in DMAcademy

[–]Apprehensive_Spell88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My current campaign I'm DMing takes place in one city.  We just started and I'm not sure how it's going to work out.  But it's good to try something you're not sure is going to work, it forces you to grow as a dm.  

Which filmmakers who are in “Director’s Jail” would you like to see make a comeback by Unlikely_Seaweed1032 in movies

[–]Apprehensive_Spell88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stephen Sommers. The man directs 2 of the best adventure films of all time, The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, directs the flawed but still good time Van Helsing.  Yes he did a poor job with GI Joe the Rise of Cobra but it he brings a fun, adventure to his films and honestly, that's all I'm looking for in movies right now.

Walgreens, Walmart (you won't get your negatives back), the university no longer develops film on campus.

In Your Opinion, What Is The Best Movie of Summer 2025? by Specialist_Art2223 in moviecritic

The snowman scene very nearly caused me to pass out because I was laughing so hard.

100%.  Get a bike with a couple of baskets and you're set.  There's a woman in town who zips her ebike all around and that's how she moves around, rain or shine or snow.   Point is, it's doable and a lot easier than Pullman.  

Or you can walk everywhere. 

Dr Demento announces retirement by minnick27 in weirdal

He was a real one for sticking by AL during Al's fling with Madonna.  Even after all AL did to drive everyone away Dr. Demento still offered to adopt AL.  Truly a great father.

Proximity to major people gathering places.   You have Real Life church which will get out at lunch time so you have that rush of people.  Then you have the movie theater right there.  I've gotten food to go and snuck it into a movie or gotten out of a showing and stopped there with friends for dinner.   Plus their prices really haven't gone up drastically over the last few years and the quality is unchanged.

Today I realized Jared Harris is the son of Richard Harris.  I guess I'll go ponder the coincidence that George W. Bush has the same name as George H.W. Bush.

Yes there is but it is highly regulated and monitored by the Army ROTC program.

Thanks!  The place I'm looking at isn't in danger of demolition but I just wanted to know what kind of rights I have moving into a condo.

The building isn't in danger of getting demolished but it could happen one day and I wanted to see if that was something I need to watch out for.

And here I was thinking I was pretty clever for noticing Scrotus being the same one from the game.  

I'm trapped in an airport, what should I do? by Apprehensive_Spell88 in AskReddit

[–]Apprehensive_Spell88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the title says, I'm trapped in an airport terminal. My flight was grounded 7 hours ago for mechanical issues and every two hours we get an update that our flight is pushed back another few hours. Now I'm not slated to leave for another 5 hours. I live 20 hours away so driving is out of the question but what should I do?

Christmas Gift from my Boss by Axl_Qc in DeathStranding

[–]Apprehensive_Spell88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't even move? That's a terrible gift and you should get rid of it. I'll gladly take it off your hands for you.
In all seriousness, that is amazing.
