Is that why you spent the months before release telling everyone you didnā€™t care, and werenā€™t excited, and that you donā€™t like most Marvel movies anyway so it being good or bad didnā€™t really matter?

So there is a Sonic the Hedgehog live action movie where his buddy is a police officer played by Cyclops and his nemesis is Riddler straight out of Batman Forever and the trailer is set to Gangstas Paradise.

All I can say is: ROLL EM ROLL EM ROLL EM GET HIGH!!

They should have released this on 4/20. They would have a better box office turn out.

The Archie comics as far as I know donā€™t touch on how Sonic gained his speed. The UK comics did though and they also tied in to how he became blue and how Robotnik came to be who he is. That origin story is kinda eh imo. IDW comics prob arent going to touch on that at all unless they do some flash backs which I doubt. The games are canon in the IDW storyline and it takes place directly after Forces.

If the shit Iā€™ve been reading that has been ā€˜leakedā€™ ever since this movie was a thing then Iā€™m pretty sure you are going to be disappointed Stu. Supposedly they are going with the alien angle.

Also Detective Pikachu and Sonic are going to be easy case studies on how to do this type of movie and what not to do. The difference in care are MILES away from each other. Someone pretty much looked at all the amazing music from this franchise that they could have done some callback too and pretty much went ā€˜ā€¦nah Gangstaā€™s Paradise is perfect!ā€™ AND NOBODY STOPPED THIS GUY. Itā€™s a metaphor for this whole movie to be honest.

I donā€™t like CG but they should have done a CG animation film set on Moebius with a serious tone and a somewhat ominous Robotnik.

The ABC Saturday morning show from circa 1993 had more gravitas than this.
This is the one with princess Sally ,Bunny etc not the weekday slapstick one with Scratch/Grounder FYI.

To a lot of people it didnā€™t. I know a lot of people who have seen it were disappointed in it. Not just on here. The friends I saw it with disliked it more than I did because they felt it didnā€™t live up to the hype. They were tearing it to shreds. I just donā€™t like the solution they came to. And Iā€™m not saying anyone is wrong for enjoying it. Iā€™m just saying my piece and having a discussion.

Womp womp. Frowny face.

I was still overall curious what ass pull they were going to pull to solve the snap. Which I mentioned several times. As soon as it was revealed how I lost interest.

Anyways,

The melodrama in days gone is cringe worthy sometimes. They try really hard to pull at the heart strings and ā€œmake you thinkā€ about human nature and the value of life etcā€¦but itā€™s all suuuuper cliche.

I think I said yesterday in Shafts discord that Jim was going to be on some cheesy Riddler shit and that I had hoped heā€™d ham it up hard.

I called it and this is the type of cheese I wanted. :rofl:

Edit: Called it. :rofl:

In other news, I finished Playthrough 2 of Borderlands 1 Remastered, and am currently grinding my Lilith up to 69, in the Crimson Fastness.

I really wish I had finished the Knoxx DLC in Playthrough 2 before finishing the Vanilla game.

Itā€™s now at ā€œPlaythrough 2.5ā€, and everything is set to over player level.

Being able to farm the Tartarus Station for proper max level gear would have been preferred.

Why would PS+ be on sale during an anime game sale week? They next to never discount ps+ unless itā€™s during like Black Friday weekend, and their summer sale, even then itā€™s a maybe.

I guess itā€™s a subjectively defined anime game sale?

Lots of cool 2D Japanese ish is full price.

Yeah. Golden Week isnā€™t an all encompassing sale on Japanese Games. Just specific anime based games and maybe a few others.

Theyā€™ve been doing golden week since mid-PS3 cycle, iirc.

Azure,

As a scrub, please tell me what you normally do during phasewalk with Lilith. I just got to Lvl5 (30 min in the game? and unlocked it

Also, which skill tree is good for solo play especially with the potential to become broken later on?

Thanks.

I would start in the Controller Tree.

Get Diva, Inner Glow, Hard to Get, and then, finally, Mind Games, which will make your life so much better than anything else until you get to a much higher level with a much greater skill point pool.

Phasewalk is going to be your ā€œOh Shit!ā€ button, and direct heal.

From there, I jump to the Assassin Tree, and get Silent Resolve, and Enforcer, just to get to Blackout to get at least 2 points in it before going ham in the Elementak Tree.

If you get a Com with Girl Power on it, drop a point into it, so you can enjoy the Comā€™s bonus.

Same with Velocity.

After I max Phoenix, I max Velocity.

Then youā€™ve got around 8 points to play with.

Youā€™ll want to farm a good Anarchy (x4) machine gun, too.

Usually at Sledgeā€™s Safehouse where the Roid Rage guy is.

Always be on the lookout for a Mercenary Com with machine gun ammo regen as its suffix.
