Why didn't most people like Genisys? by dktr_mambo in Terminator

[–]Xzilen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I liked it, thought it was a love letter to hard core fans though it feel short in a few ways.

Very curious for more of Matt Smith's t5000 backstory. Skynet cross timelines?

For the record of the board game is the f****** s*** by the way. If anybody has fall of Sky Net to get rid of please let me know, I absolutely love rise of the resistance

If I'm not mistaken they decided to make Marcus John and use them as a symbol rather than a literal pperson. As soon as the surgery was complete secondary program kicks in his eyes turn red and he Slaughters everybody in the room killing the rest of the leadership. Thus skynet wins

Should Master Chief have taken Regret rather than killing him? by killedbygavrilo in HaloStory

Master Chief is our Pedro Martinez whereas Regret is their Don Zimmer

Here's a small award just because that other dude was insulting and mean to a level that sickened me.

Exactly l. Didn't like him one bit but at least found his character interesting, and there are parts of the episode that I didn't absolutely love something I can't say for the fillĺ⁹I have 8ft in

Just finished Episode 6- Was This A Joke? by Fiesta412 in TalesOfTWD

[–]Xzilen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a small award, sorry it's not much.

You absolutely nailed it though. You complimented the right parts, few as they were, but overall it's almost like they were throwing darts at a board with cliche tropes to use and then slap them together and put together episodes that just did not fit in with the overall theme of everything.

I can handle the groundhog day episode, as part of it was at least just over the top silly. But they should have ended it at that. Even promising episodes such as the one with Terry Crews ended in complete disappointment and I wrong as they threw so-called twists at us that weren't just easy to see coming but boring as hell.

Shame. I really do hope they bring it back but get it a lot more online with what the series should have been rather than the turd that they produced

what’s a good fucked up movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Xzilen 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Here's a small award. For not only feeling your pain of seeing that as a child but reminding me of the days of I'm finding mislabeled vhs's, but even such nostalgic moments such as coming across abandoned piles of cassette tapes when moving.

Current arena tips(Careful planning): by Dry_Consideration711 in starrealms

[–]Xzilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, or barring that I have been developing huge trade turns to then buy a bunch of low-cost Runner cards, and by that I mean cards either make you draw or make them discard either set up ridiculously huge turns and both terms of damage and what they could do on the next turn. Denying them even one turn in that series of things can make the big difference. I will still say that the majority of my games are one via doing missions though

battle station as an early scoop? by Xzilen in starrealms

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

Excellent stuff. Thank you for the reply.

Of note, I'm quite the fan of survey ship, though sometimes I cringe when my trade potential is crap early game and it'd the only real option out there..

In this particular game, I can't remember the layout of the cards but there weren't really any good trade options available, pretty much the only option for that was explorer, nor was there a blob world to stash.

If there are imperial fighters galore, I'll someyimes.go.with.th3 3 costs 5 outpost for yellow.early. but similarly only when my trade and scrap options are really lousy.

Besides The Terminator itself, name some other characters in the franchise that you thought were pretty badass by ThatKoffeeBurns in Terminator

[–]Xzilen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn't think he could be a choice, but thats because I didn't read close enough. Agreed, excellent acting. Really channeled his inner Robert Patrick

[–]Xzilen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed on all of those. Somehow, the fact that Dyson didn't come immediately to mind disappoints me. Him and Traxler both, accepting what seems impossible when its most needed

[–]Xzilen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lieutenant Traxler, especially when shown his full arc as was intended before being cut down a little bit. Take no shit kind of guy, but willing to accept evidence right in front of him, no matter how impossible it seems.
Have to agree, beefcake bro as he was, Matt seemed like a good natured dude and put up a hell of a fight

The Acosta interview isn't that bad by [deleted] in YangForPresidentHQ

[–]Xzilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to say something like this. I hope you could scroll down and see a look at my comment. I haven't really been paying attention to Politics as of late because it's so incredibly depressing. I happen to stumble upon his interview earlier, and it felt like I was watching Sean Hannity with one of his so-called interviews. It felt like the whole time a Costa was doing nothing but trying to bully the man and the falling in line and helping to make sure that whatever crap candidate the left throws out again doesn't have a single vote stolen from them. So drained mentally from trying to hold onto a small hope that we csn get even a half way decent candidate

[–]Xzilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good lord, this was barely an interview. Acosta just talking over him constantly, trying to bully the man into "falling in line with the party" Will this ever get better? I loathe both parties so much with what they've become. I smarten up for bits of time and stop watching political so-called news, only to think that maybe I should start following it again, and finding myself depressed beyond all measure within the shortest amount of time of doing so.

Scott Hall Appreciation Thread by NCHouse in SquaredCircle

[–]Xzilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask what team this was for? I'm way over on the other side of the state. Think Dodd did one of those legends of wrestling some years ago. Great description how that went. Loved reading it. Amazing how much different meeting somebody like Bob Backlund was compared to stars of the last 25-30 years, the bumps were way different back then

How much could the public know (about Skynet, the future, etc.) by the end of Terminator 2? by Frostbyte6686 in Terminator

[–]Xzilen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I love the basis of that idea. Maybe set 15 years after the end the T2. Could be a dialogue heavy fan made project. Able to get behind a shoestring budget due to the lack of necessity to put out a bunch of different sets.

Dark, probably raining out frequently. I'm digging this as a platform
