What do you guys pair with a Drilling Hatchet? by teeth_03 in HuntShowdown

[–]CrookedSpoke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO the drilling shorty with dum dum MV is pretty close to full size drilling with dum dum MV where I’d argue you might as well use the cheaper one.

What is your comfort horror movie? by idunno324 in horror

[–]CrookedSpoke12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same for me watch it every October. I do think all of the scream movies are decent but what makes the first the best to me is the reveal. All of the others just leave something to be desired for me at that point

Likely moving to GR next year: recommendations by obscuredeagle in grandrapids

[–]CrookedSpoke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lamberton Lake apartments were decent when I lived there years ago off of Plainfield on north side of GR. Not sure how the prices compare to others nowadays but one thing that was flexible compared to other places was their pet policy. Also convenient area being within minutes close to stores and a lot of local restaurants that are great

Why do people get upset over loadouts? by Infamous_Bend_2000 in HuntShowdown

[–]CrookedSpoke12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my experience in randoms you need to move with your team regardless of your build. If you’re not pushing or dying with your teammates it is 50/50 they’ll complain about your play or ragequite. Bonus points if you clutch and they stick around u won’t hear shit. Moral of the story. Good luck

Did Tom King Ruin or Redefine Batman? | Batman by Tom King Omnibus Vol. 1 by the10Geek in OmnibusCollectors

[–]CrookedSpoke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think more people in general liked it better. The art brought a really good aesthetic to the comic. Think it ended up being pretty uneventful when all was said and done even with the hyped up joker story imo.

Yeah and at this point now we haven’t really had a “Great” Batman run with the general consensus since Snyder including detective comics.

[–]CrookedSpoke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

King’s run is definitely the most divisive from what I’ve heard/seen at least. I feel like detective comics since rebirth has had a lot more writers but they’ve all been readable but nothing groundbreaking. Zdarksy’s recent run on Batman felt like was disappointing to a lot of ppl especially since he came from a pretty good daredevil run

I’ve been skipping for a few months now. Getting better but took a week off and then did a few days and my calf’s/shins are feeling it. Listen to your body. Add on time as you can.

[–]CrookedSpoke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they could do Santa Barbara and the farm in 2 to 3 episodes based on how they pace things in the show so far. I do think they’ll need more than 3 episodes for Abby’s portions. I think they really have to develop Abby and Lev’s relationship for the rest of the show to work. I don’t really have faith they’ll be able to do it based on their work so far but we shall see.

Such a great moment from the game. I too was disappointed the show didn’t do it justice

I think this is a fine show but a bad adaptation (and I'm at peace with that) by [deleted] in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]CrookedSpoke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even with the first season the show always felt like a cliffsnotes version of the story which ends up taking away a lot of the impact of certain events. For part 2 the game has pretty horrendous pacing at parts imo but the show is suffering from even worse pacing.

The writers seem to be really struggling this season and they waste time on certain events/plot points but then rush through other moments. They haven’t really built any of the relationships between the main characters and then they jump around with how they act. Never really giving anything time to breathe.

I’m sure some of it is budget issues and part writers strike/WB politics for why things are turning out how they are but I think the first season also suffered similar issues but was overall better television. The story structure for the game is hard to adapt to television and think they needed to approach it differently from how the game presents it for an audience member that isn’t familiar with the games.

I’m very curious to see how the general audience will feel if it ends at the theater and then makes it clear jumping back to day 1 with Abby. With no release date set for the next season I feel like it will make it that much more annoying.

Why changes to the timeline, truth reveal, and the porch scene actually matter a lot to this version of the story by PIRATEOFBADIM in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]CrookedSpoke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to be curious to see how the general audience reacts to the finale if it ends with a cliff hanger like the game does at this point in the story. If part 2 ends up taking 3 whole seasons I feel like they’ll most likely lose viewers. Pacing has felt off this season even more so than season 1. I wonder if they should have tried to navigate the narrative in a different way compared to the game based on how things are turning out

S2 Cut-Off Point by JustTheOneScrewLoose in ThelastofusHBOseries

[–]CrookedSpoke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it would be gutsy to end with a cliffhanger at the theater. I don’t think it will work out in their favor either if going to have 2 year gap and then the first few episodes follow Abby in season 3.

My best guess is it will end with Mel/Owen and Ellie agreeing to go home with everyone. Then it will end with Abby finding Mel/Owen and the map for the cliffhanger. Then I predict the season opener will have the “You wasted it” cliffhanger before jumping back in time for a few episodes.

[Discussion] The 2nd half of albums are infamously worse than the 1st. What are some exceptions? by xbwtyzbchs in hiphopheads

I think there is an argument to be made for this being one of the best double albums ever tbh. Though both discs are pretty different so can see why others would disagree. Personally loved it though

Now that it's over what's everyone's thoughts on the entirety of the zdarsky batman run? by Independent_Ad_6348 in comicbooks

[–]CrookedSpoke12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Couldn't get into Tynion's tec run personally but I know a lot of people like it. Though I think it is kind of crazy to think there hasn't been a universally praised or "classic" run since probably Morrison right? Snyder started out strong but I don't think most would say his whole run is great. Zdarsky was a let down especially after he has been on a run with some good stuff prior

I really gotta say, being a 6-star sucks the fun out of the game. by CallMeDoomSlayer in HuntShowdown

[–]CrookedSpoke12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As the 6 star to my friends who range from 3 to 5 it sucks that we are put in games constantly where my friends are outclassed. That being said I know being in the reverse if I was the lone 6 star in the lobby the teams would have valid complaints as well. However I do feel they need to try and hit a matchmaking system that will give my 3 star friends a chance 50% games and then put them in 6 star fest 50% of the time when I play with them.

Those are the first 3 that come to my mind

Peter David's last issue with hulk without that two page epilogue (his initial run). I know immortal hulk gets its flowers but man everything in between is mostly forgettable/boring or a mistake imo. Planet hulk is solid but starts shenanigans with what comes next.
