    MSI should use AMD for the next one. Apparently, they have up to 4 follow up devices in the pipeline. They need to switch gears if any one of them have Intel CPUs 

    MSI and AMD don't seem to have the best relationship. MSI versions of AMD cards are typically half assed. They just slap the cooler engineered for their GeForce cares on their Radeon cards. I remember thinking in spite of this that there would be no way they'd use Intel fo the Claw. A guys commenting on the MSI Claw announcement article on Videocardz.com said they'd use Intel he was dead on. I have to assume Intel giving MSI some sort of deal and at least I hope they are.

    As a kid I found out Forge and Storm were in a relationship reading a comic book... For some reason I never forgave the character of Forge and have disliked every incarnation of him in every media. 

     

    I say that to say I still hope the new X Force run is good. It's premise sounds like it could be fun.

    I've never been the biggest fan of Forge either. Can't imagine why....

    Has anyone else heard this song? It popped up in recommended videos. I watched it and couldn't stop laughing. I know it's gonna have some people heated. 😂

     

    Yo, he did a completely different version in Spanish. I really wish our educational system actually knew how to teach second languages. All that Spanish I took and I remember virtually none of it. 😑

    That's Harry Potter though. People know and love Harry Potter no matter what JK Rowling did. All I see about Stellar Blade is ass/titties and a bunch of clowns praising it just because the MC is hot.

    Hogwart's Legacy was the number 1 selling game last year, because of the controversy. The media push for a boycott plus them talking about JK Rowling views and not the game. Was big driver to push the sales as high as they've gotten. Harry Potter's popularity peaked around two decades ago. Harry Potter games couldn't crack 10 million units in sales then. Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets sold 9 million copies. Hogwart's Legacy has sold 24 million plus. That's nearing 3 times the sales. And Harry Potter himself isn't even in the game

    I wonder if this retarded-ass "debate" is going to impact Stellar Blade's sales at all. I'm like 95% "no", but having your game get mostly talked about by a bunch of losers b/c titties and ass can't have a good effect. Seems like that shit is all I hear about this game, and it seems like the devs had nothing to do with it besides designing a hot MC.

    Two words. Hogwart's Legacy. Stellar Blade sales would not be what they are if the gaming media didn't crazy about Eve's appearance. They galvanized people that would have not bought the game to buy it.

    Curious where the line is on indecent exposure and what not with the lady of FAFO and got tased.  I'm assuming once she did that the cop had probably cause for an arrest but I'm wondering if it's for being antagonistic or indecent exposure because of the ass out no underwear. 

    That's good question man. Especially with the way some people dress these days. As for the video, you are dead on. It looks like the cop was just going to let her go after she blew the kiss, but once she mooned her it was on. I don't know man, maybe it's because my dad taught me better, but why do people keep fucking with cops?

    There's a lot of talk about it, never bothered to check it out.

    Up until last week, I was in the same boat. I stumbled on to it and I enjoyed so much, I've started watching anime again. I've come across some interesting shows but Frieren was/is on another level. I knew the premise going into it. I saw a video, can't remember the Youtube creator, where he used Frieren Beyond Journey's End as contrast to the Rings Of Power when it came to writing. After watching it, I can completely agree with his take.

    @AriesWarlockThe Hades 2 thing doesn't surprise me at all. It's hypocrites being hypocritical. As for the "safe horny" term. It's just a bull shit term that they use to try and hand wave away their obvious hypocrisy. Kind of how they are dismissive of women that disagree with them on anything and say they have "internalized misogny". I still chuckle at the thought of mentioning "internalized misogny" to one of my best friends and him being in disbelief thinking I was fucking with him.

    I'm probably super late on this one. I don't really post in this thread and I haven't really been watching much anime recently. That said, I saw one that I thought was really good.  Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. Typically the story follows the hero as they "slay the demon king". But this one centers on what happens after. It's told from the perspective of Frieren. She's the Elven Mage of the party and due to her long life she has a far different concept of time than other party members. Her party members were Himmel the Hero (Human), Heiter the Corrupt Priest (Human), and Eisen the Warrior (Dwarf).

     

    To make a long story short, Frieren regrets not taking the time to get know her party, Himmel in particular, better. I can't really get into it any further without spoiling things. But if you haven't, the series is really worth checking out. It's does an excellent job of story telling.  The way their able to....hm. can't say much with spoiling. Well, if you have seen it let me know what you think.

    Keep in mind, they kept saying that they expected it to go up to 10 seasons, lol

     

    I dropped it after some few episodes on s2.

    And from what I heard S3 was not better.

    As someone that had the misfortune of making through Season 2, you made a wise decision. Quitting a show midway through is difficult for me to do, even when it's bad. I wish I'd done so with The Witcher though. Season 1 had flaws but it also had potential....which they quickly squandered. Watching X-Men 97 makes me wonder how good The Witcher would have been if Beau DeMayo were in charge. The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is easily the best Witcher production from Netflix and he wrote it.

     

    @MillionXYou are going to be eating good in Baldur's Gate 3 Patch 7. The expanded Evil Endings seem right up your alley.

    Behold my home skillets..

     

    Transformers One Teaser Trailer!

    (starts at 18 seconds)

     

     

     

    I am cautiously optimistic.

    I love the art style/animation.

    Megatron's voice seems mediocre. Hemsworth isn't bad.

    It seems like a MCU/Pixar hybrid.

    Megashock needs you and @OPTIMUS124to have Siskel & Ebert type review thread for anything Transformers related. That way we'll know whether to get our hopes up or not.
