After the success of Sonic we are now getting Streets of Rage https://deadline.com/2022/04/streets-of-rage-film-adaptation-john-wick-creator-derek-kolstad-1235004975/ The only reason why i have a silver of hope is that A) They have one of the people involved in creating John Wick behind the project B) After Sonic 1 and 2, it feels like Sega is willing to listen to fans. If they manage to keep what they are doing with Sonic, i am at least interested on giving the movie a try. RSG3, J-ride, Darc_Requiem and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment

Yea I tend to use my old builds as a Mule and by co-oping eith a friend I drop the gear I want for the new build for them then load the new character and have them drop the gear again for my new one. I'm really tempted to pick up the PS4 version of Elden Ring when it's cheaper just to be able to do this on my own and not have to use a friend. But I don't pump my weapons to max to invade new people (Tho I may build a twink killer to help the newbs at this point) because it's fucking stupid, mean, and booooooring. The worst part is these fucking losers will Stomp a new person and then message them "Lulz I'm only lvl1) while ignoring the fact they have a +10 Somber Weapon in each hand. @MillionXto Drop items for people you select the item in inventory and use the "Drop Item" option. Do not, I repeate DO NOT use the "Discard item" option as this deletes the item permanently and you won't get it back. Edited April 19, 2022 by RSG3 Quote Link to comment

Hecatom Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 https://techcrunch.com/2022/04/18/microsoft-ads-free-to-play-xbox-games/ Quote Microsoft is reportedly creating an ad program that will allow brands to advertise in free-to-play Xbox games, according to a report from Business Insider. Sources familiar with the matter told Insider that one of the ways ads may show up in these games could be as digitally rendered billboards in car racing games. It’s not immediately known how else Microsoft plans to offer ads in free-to-play games. “We are always looking for ways to improve the experience for players and developers but we don’t have anything further to share,” a spokesperson for Microsoft told Insider. TechCrunch reached out to Microsoft, but the company did not have any additional information to share beyond its original statement to Insider. Insider reports that Microsoft is aware that inserting ads into games could be bothersome to users, which is why it’s taking a cautious approach to the idea and is planning to create a private marketplace where only select brands would be able to buy ad space and display ads in ways that don’t disrupt gameplay. The sources note that Microsoft doesn’t plan on taking a cut of ad revenue and is instead focused on building out the Xbox ad network. The company reportedly intends to allow the game developer and adtech company to share the revenue from the ads. One of the sources speculated that the reason Microsoft isn’t interested in taking a cut of ad revenue is because it wants to give developers of free-to-play games more opportunities to make money. The company is also said to be working to secure its customers’ data to prevent other companies from using it. Microsoft reportedly doesn’t have any immediate plans to allow advertisers to use data that it collects from searches on Bing and other sources for targeted ads on Xbox. It’s not immediately known if Microsoft has pitched the program to advertisers yet, but Insider reports that the program is set to launch by the third quarter of this year. The new program could allow developers to make money from free-to-play games without having to rely on in-game paid content, such as character skins or passes. The program could also serve as a way for brands to reach younger consumers who may have been hard to target elsewhere. Quote Link to comment

MillionX Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 heh, I've heard nothing but bad news about that Halo show. Fortunately for me, I'm not really invested in that franchise anymore....it's been quite a few years since I cared. On the Elden Ring front... in just a few hours after the patch blocked it... apparently people have already figured a work-around for the "out of map" rune farm technique 😆 I never used it though... and that seems like unnecessary effort from what I see anyway... I stick with the Varre quest method....fortunately they left that in (and I'd agree with people saying it appears to be an intended rune-farm spot, actually.... a Grace right next to a big pack of passive enemies that just sit there waiting to be repeatedly killed, basically.) ah, if only I had more energy during the week to keep playing... like right now I have stuff I want to do in the game but I'm probably a few minutes away from Dreamland already. Currently in my character's "training arc", a new lightning-centric build is coming together, sure to be stronger than ever...there's certain items I need to track down to make it as good as possible, of course. I also found out recently that Holy Resistance is a huge boon for the final boss. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Yea there is a Haligdrake +2 Talisman in Mohgs Palace. It's in that blood pool area you can see from the farming spots Grace Point. Combine that Talisman with the Dragoncrest Greatshield Talidman and you'll actually take normal damage for both phases of the final boss. Pretty nice. Quote Link to comment

Is the "final final boss" the one where you are collecting the souls and have to face the lion dude who morphs into a bunch of people? Or is there something after that? Just curious because I played co-op with my son last weekend and we faced that boss and it was definitely harder than the rest of the bosses. I mean he wasn't hard by any means especially after coming off 2 months of Elden Ring, but like I actually had to face him twice to beat him lol. I didn't just whoop him on the first try. And it was my first time ever playing the boss as I've only played the first world myself. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

That'd be great to know? Is it Tee? Ohtani? Jun? Need information on that. And I'm willing to bet its paying for music that specifically is probably tied to MJ for Sonic 3 more than likely...best guess here) .

Supposedly the numbers have been really bad, with the 1st episode being the one that has more views, but subsequent episodes having way less views because people tune out after the 1st one, lol. But take those with a grain of salt, since they come from unverified sources, the only credibility from some of them is that they also reported how bad Netflix's Cowboy Bebop was doing before it was made official. It is unlikely they cancel it even if is doing bad though, since they already committed to at least 1 more season before the series premiered. But even before its premiere there were signs that the production wasn't going smoothly because key people from the production moved away mid production or as soon as s1 wrapped up.
