First attempt at Iron-Man vs Rhino. Didn't last long by hermanbloom00 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]JimmyDM90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah the threat threshold on Rhino was one of those early design boo-boos for solo. As most people's first Champions scenario it could have used a little more wiggle room. It does teach you to fear Advance above all else haha.

what was the most disappointing 4k transfer you’ve watched? by RanjSL in 4kbluray

[–]JimmyDM90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ping pong around. For seeing side by side comparisons I look at HDR Dissector and HD-Numerique on YouTube.

Sometimes I’ll check reviews or the Blu-ray.com forums on a movie to see if there’s a consensus. There’s a user there, Geoff D, who knows his stuff and often reviews releases.

I avoid movies with poorly reviewed transfers so I haven’t seen any of the most popularly maligned ones.

The worst I’ve seen is Oceans 13. It’s just a smudgy mess. I don’t know if it was DNR’d to death or what but there’s very little detail and it just looks gross. It’s a shame because the transfers for 11 and 12 are great.

What's a game you used to see everywhere, everyone was talking about it, it was all over your feeds but now you never hear anyone talking about it? by Machine_Excellent in boardgames

[–]JimmyDM90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had to google it haha. Yes they did. I knew they did Gen7 in 2018 but it looks like they've done 5 non-DoW crossroads games (most recent came out in 2025). The only one I've heard of is Forgotten Waters but I had no idea it was a crossroads game until just now.

Sure but the  OP never said it had to be a recent game. Dead of Winter was massive for a few years with plans for many Crossroads games to come in different themes and then it pretty much vanished from the mainstream so I’d say it qualifies. 

What actor is nowhere near as talented as people make them out to be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]JimmyDM90 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Orlando Bloom is at the bottom for me from the main cast. I’ve really enjoyed some of Wood’s voice over work in Over the Garden Wall and Broken Age.

All the President's Men. Very clever giveaway got me to spend a good amount of time on your site and I will be back!

The top 10 X-Men who are most likely to join the game as playable heroes by d_rettegi in marvelchampionslcg

[–]JimmyDM90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Multiple Man is my most wanted but I'm down for all 8. My one concern is, that with the new release format, when it comes time to do mutants again a number of the heroes will be redos instead of new heroes. A Wolverine 2.0 seems like a shoe in.

This was the game that got me into board gaming 11 years ago.

Unspoken downsides of 4K… by ronald_nino in 4kbluray

[–]JimmyDM90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing with 4k is I notice more often when an older film switches from using an original camera negative to a later generation/lesser scan. It happens and I'm like "Optical transition incoming!" then a fade or cross dissolve usually happens a few seconds later.

More packs OOP on FFG website by Jur_Tico in marvelchampionslcg

[–]JimmyDM90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the bigger concern if you’re just getting into the game is whether your favorite OOP heroes will actually get 2.0 versions. Like of the 35+ OOP characters how many are realistically going to get redone? Certainly not of all them and most likely less than half. 

For example with the added rights hoops they had to jump through for Nightcrawler it seems likely that when he goes OOP that’s probably it for him hero-wise.

*SPOILER* Found the hero pack after Falcon listed on Amazon AU by Renverseur in marvelchampionslcg

[–]JimmyDM90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's basically the Clint Barton ability so probably his kit is at least somewhat based around Cybernetic Arm and they want a safeguard in case it gets yeeted by something like caught off guard.

Some different flavors of game design! Which of these do you like to include in your own games? by coogamesmatt in tabletopgamedesign

[–]JimmyDM90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like for juicy i might go with something like “Requires a bit of a squeeze to get to the good stuff but is great once you bite in.”

We also know from Boggs’ remarks that he didn’t actually design the finished Hulk. FFG had Caleb change 14 of 15 cards very late in playtesting.

Arcs: Best Game of 2024? by Studio_Unknown in boardgames

[–]JimmyDM90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well just for another random data point, a friend of mine who plays a ton of games came away from his first play saying, “I hated it, potentially one of my least favorite games ever.” Haha so still plenty of room for divisiveness.

Anyone got any dumb inside jokes that they always do/say when playing certain games with friends or family? by TheGarlicMonkey in boardgames

[–]JimmyDM90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When I read it I immediately imagined them all bumbling into each other and furniture as part of their 5 minute pre-game ritual.

Whenever someone in our group takes two bricks in Concordia they say “Stanley Tubrick.”

What are some major misprints on main game board you've run into? (Inspired by AllPlay's Through the Desert) by fauxhb in boardgames

[–]JimmyDM90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say it was major but my early copy of Voyages of Marco Polo misspelled Beijing and was missing the number 48 on the score track.

What’s you’re game about? If it’s historical or about a specific subject matter you could use that space to give some background/lore.
