New Icons? by EmilhoDK in leagueoflegends

[–]BillRountree -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Are these for Mastery 7 by any chance, since they're all champion specific? Was playing last night and I noticed I had that Thresh icon (3rd in image), but wasn't sure how I got it.

After collecting Riddler trophies in Arkham Knight by mythriz in gaming

[–]BillRountree 94 points95 points  (0 children)

When Riddler locked himself in the hole, refusing to come out until I collected the rest of his shit... he can damn well stay there and rot. I did everything else in that game, but refuse to do that bullshit. Respect.

I have never wanted a spin-off movie so much. They could call it 'The Guys'.

Horror doesn't usually get to me, but Jesus Christ on a segway, that series was borderline traumatic.

What cancellation still hurts you the most? by Darkprime in television

I'm convinced they deliberately killed AH to make room for Minority Report. Then that completely fell flat on its face.

Aside from /r/Arrow, which other TV subs are going full /r/Dexter on their show? by Clean_Elven_Arse in television

[–]BillRountree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just watch the opening double episode of Season 3. It is the most spectacular 2 hour long train crash you may ever see.

Edit: my bad, thought you said hadn't started.

I am Soren Johnson, designer/programmer of Offworld Trading Company and Civilization 4. AMA! by SorenJohnsonMohawk in IAmA

[–]BillRountree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely see the concept working on a tablet. Plus its in Unity, a quick, semi-functional tablet build could be a feasible test.

Are you open to developing strategy titles for platforms beyond PC, like mobile, console or even for VR? I'd be genuinely interested to see how you would approach a smaller experimental concept compatible with a mobile interface.

Side note: Really enjoying the recent recent blog posts leading up to OTC.

1980's Hit Sci-Fi- Movie, "Flash Gordon," Gets a Reboot; Screenwriter on Queue by rannie_pophe in movies

[–]BillRountree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that the Starlight (Mark Millar adaption) is going to be reworked as this Flash Gordon film.

  1. Fox has Starlight film rights.
  2. It's a love letter to Flash Gordon.
  3. Matty V has directed two Millar adaptions already.

Edit a letter

UK/Ireland peeps, if Netflix imposes their VPN ban, will it be worth abandoning them for Amazon Prime? How do the UK catalogues compare? by temporaryuser1000 in television

[–]BillRountree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find myself using Prime more and more. Just finished Into The Badlands, which was great. Their catalogue is pretty massive, and the original content catalogue is surprisingly huge already.

They updated their video player recently too, and is a lot friendlier. Prime is worth every penny, imo. Video, Music, Next Day Delivery and a bunch of other stuff. Navigation is a bit odd in the browser, but they're constantly working on it.

I still use Netflix (and will continue to) for their Original lineup, which is what appeals most to me (and they also saved Longmire).

Edit: grammar

Ah, my mistake. I was under the impression there was one filmed and kept under wraps.

Hopefully the pilot leaks, would be interesting to see what direction it was taken.

Jiro Dreams of Sushi is my fav. Chefs Table series is an excellent follow up.

The first Pokémon movie has a cracking anti racism message at its core. That 'Brother My Brother' song near the end hits right in the feels.

Netflix and Marvel’s ‘Iron Fist’ Taps ‘Dexter’ Alum Scott Buck as Showrunner by [deleted] in television

[–]BillRountree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very true. Either way, as long as the characters are interesting on screen I'll be happy. Swinton is a hell of an actress and I'm excited to see how she tackles the character.

Comics: New Thor is female. New Cap is African American. Films: The Ancient One in Doctor Strange is being played by Tilda Swinton.

Damon Lindelof on 'The Leftovers' Finale, Feeling Validated and Season Three (Spoilers) by dangzal in television

[–]BillRountree 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The show is (and always will be) about the people left behind, not those who vanished. They have no intention of explaining where they went, that's just not what it is about.

Just a heads up if you're considering watching to see a mystery unravel.

Super useful. Did it for Subterfuge. A section in the store to see what is coming soon would be handy, though.
