The Castlevania/Bloodstained Thread: Whip It Good
OPTIMUS124 replied to DoctaMario's topic in General Discussion
The first series has a FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR better hook in the first episode but I sincerely enjoyed it. Can't wait for Season 2 EDIT - I looked online after viewing and noticed that the show has a pretty low audience score. This series is still is the best video game adaptation to date. I look at it this way, if you want a 1:1 recreation of the thing you saw, you're better off just playing the thing again. -
Me and pre-orders on the Transformers front have been terrible. Via Amazon, I missed out on the Gamer Edition Prime (BKA Optimus Prime from the War for Cybertron game) and now the Animated Legacy one. Animated Prime is still available at most other retailers, yet they charge shipping. Gamer Edition Prime is going to be a re-pack with the upcoming wave.

His demeanor is perfect. He seems like the premier example of a "Dark Jedi". This little exchange with his mannerisms was spot on character work. -

The fact that I know we won't be getting another run with Ray Stevenson as Skoll hurts. He's great in every scene. Marrok theories . . . . and I'm perfectly OK with it. The duels in this show seem to be pretty solid. It feels like the combatants are actually trying to hurt each other. Something unique that I wonder if it will be explained in-show are the saber color choices. Skoll and Hati's sabers are orange vs. Sith red. -

Balding is a sign of aging. Like it or not, men are conscious about that. My barber let me know when I was in the chair for a cut that I was starting to thin out at the top. I was 28 at the time. I told her to go ahead and give me a really low Caesar. After that I started shaving my head. So my neighbor bebops to me and "says hey we heard about what's going on with your wife, I wanted to give you a few personal recommendations". I immediately knew where this was going. I had to restrain myself from the "FUQ IS THIS SHIT" retort. Why this dude start quoting the Dr. Sebi playbook? It irks me when people make those claims and don't understand that cancer is a unique situation and the stuff you bought from Vitamin Shoppe isn't it. -

I've taken the train once. It's certainly more comfortable than most other commercial transit options. My gripe was that it took 9 hours to get to somewhere 4 hours away. A freight train was stuck and they have the priority on the railways. -

I didn't even think about that. To be fair, Fallen Order suffers a similar problem. -

The last two of the three movies you mentioned are at least worth a watch. Love and Thunder doesn't deserve to exist. As many have mentioned, Andor is the pinnacle of Disney Star Wars content. I need that to be one of the series that gets an eventual physical release. After watching Episode 2, it wouldn't surprise me that the cloaked figure . . . -

It sure is. You just look at your kid in amazement at all times of the day. To see the way he looks at the world with amazement when I carry him through the house is the stuff dreams are made of. I'm thinking of ways now 🤣. I've kept in touch with a YT reviewer that I met several years ago at a TF convention who now has a 9-year-old. I asked him how does he teach his son NOT to bother with his collection. His response was "at a very early age, teach them to look with your eyes and not with your hands." Much appreciated! -

After almost two weeks in the NICU, our family is finally home. Today I changed his diaper and fed him off of his cues alone. How it felt . . . -

Another WIN for the month of August. Closed the sale of my first home today! Perfect timing if I do say so myself 🤣 That extra cash is going to help out a lot. -

If they said two sexes, I'm 100% with them. This distinction is why neither side knows how to debate one another. -

Sorry that I didn't update you guys 😂 My son arrived Thursday night at 10:26PM. 4lbs 11oz, 19 in. My wife is doing well. Our son is making a pit-stop in the NICU because his temperature was running just a little cold the night he was born. So far he's tracking at normal but needs at least 24 hrs where he holds it. All things considered, he is doing well and we hope for us all to be home on Monday evening. -

Quick update. Got in around 9PM, didn't get the exam until 4AM this morning. She was already 3cm dilated without any support. They started the induction and now it's a waiting game. -
