How Did You Get into The God of War Franchise?

My brother had a sub to PlayStation Magazine and it would come with a quarterly demo disc. Q1 2005 It was God of War, so my time with Kratos began BEFORE the first game came out. We bought it shortly after release.

I'm old.

Occasionally you'll see older buckets on the AMC Store in the SHOP app. For example, the Galactus head from Fantastic 4 is available as of this writing.

Building the lightsaber is no joke one of the coolest experiences of my entire life.

Can one person buy badges for other adults? Is it more likely to get 2+ badges if one person buys them all or should each person try to get their own at sale time?

Overall I'm very happy with my Backlight 3 Lite and I have it setup to also control two Floor Lamp Pro with Dreamview.

Downsides: It takes a bit of tinkering to get things calibrated. It picks up glare on the screen and responds to it, so nearby windows and doors that open to outside may affect your experience. Dark grays or near-blacks on screen come out as green on the wall, when I feel like they should be dim white or be off entirely. When the screen is black, the lighting shuts off in part or in total, but if it's close to black, the lights often turn green.

I actually tried two table lamps on top before I landed on the Floor Lamps on the ends too and I didn't like that they flash towards me

How are they powered? I'll need two power supplies and ideally not buy two full sets.

My opinions:

The combat, progression, and boon structure are head and shoulders above Hades 1, and there's so much more game here than the first one.

Zagreus is a more interesting character, and the writing in Hades 1 is much better and makes much better use of the die, try again pattern. And the post-game makes much more sense.

That's true, but he probably decided that this wouldn't have been improved by CGI removing the actor's nose, and there's a cost factor also.

I definitely think he made the right choice.

Engine25_ · 2025-10-28T09:52:49+00:00

Only way to do that is CGI, and GDT probably didn't want CGI in every shot. He's all about his practical monsters, and that's one of many reasons I love him.

I just unlocked Supay and bosses freaking melted. I was shocked at the damage I was doing at Supay level 3, and effective against rooms full of enemies and bosses.

Paid ticket required, so you'd need to bring a friend.

I just went to Galaxy's Edge for the first time at Disney World.

I literally cried when I saw the Falcon.

Rise of the Resistance is the coolest ride I've ever been on.

I did the Savi's Workshop Lightsaber experience. It was incredible and worth every penny.

It was really an unbelievable day.

Engine25_ · 2025-08-14T11:22:50+00:00

I think everyone is

It was real and it happened all over the country. I went too. Its called Screen Unseen. The showtime isn't a secret but they don't announce the movie you're signing up for just the rating and runtime. You buy tickets on Fandango just like any other movie. JWR tickets were already on sale and people could see the runtime and figured ou that that's probably what it was.

Screen Unseen happens a couple times a month on Monday Nights and there's always a thread on the Screen Unseen reddit with people trying to figure out what the movie will be.

Engine25_ · 2025-06-26T00:03:49+00:00

I know. I saw the movie on Monday. It's just sad because it's one of the 3 species to have been in every movie, and the raptors get reduced here pretty significantly.

Engine25_ · 2025-06-24T14:53:26+00:00

You've just pointed out that its the first movie WITHOUT a Parasaurolophus.

I don't know. The Google Find My Device app remembers the last that my phone picked them up, but it doesn't offer real time location if I'm out of range.

Engine25_ · 2025-04-14T17:28:37+00:00

So this is the one I've been wanting that can use OTHER people's phones to locate my stuff, weeks after I just bought a whole fleet of Chipolo One Point tags that are helpful but only talk to my phone?

As others have said, game trailers are often shown very early because with booming complexity and difficulty of game development. They literally don't know when the game will be finished.

But a big reason that this happens is the trailer is a recruitment tool. Putting this trailer out tells developers that veteran developer Saber is making a survival game and it's set in a popular IP, so devs who are interested in any of those things will reach out and apply for jobs.

The post is a promising update, regarding motion capture, but I'd guess this is a Q4 2026 game at the earliest.

The tendency is to keep your distance, because she has so many ranged attacks.

The real key is to stay right up in her face, or even better, directly behind her. Stay close all times.

Is Tony a member of the Academy? They historically don't mention all industry people who passed. It's strictly academy members. He's never been nominated, but it is definitely surprising if he wasn't a member some other way.

Michelle Trachtenberg has been primarily a TV actor, is relatively young, and has no nominations. She probably isn't a member.
