  1. Spider Man 3(MCU) is confirmed to have Doc Oc, played by the same guy who played him in Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man! 

    As well as Electro, with the same actor from The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

    Also rumored to have all 3 versions of Spider-man in it, because multi-verse(Doctor Strange is also confirmed).

    Honestly, I hope they use this film as a backdoor to a Maguire Spider-Man 4, even this many years later. That would be epic.

     

    Note: The actors are returning to the same roles, but are not necessarily playing the same character.

  2. I'm absolutely stunned by Apple's Air Pods Max.

     

    Its like this. You can buy a Playstation 5 or, for $50 more, these headphones.

    Seriously. These headphones are $550. Not including sales tax.

    I mean, I never buy Apple products anyway. But are there actual humans who would pay that? I'll bet the Samsung equivalent of these is $120 ?

      a 144hz 1080p monitoer is $300...

      That monitor stand is also twice the price of a 4k gaming monitor.

    3. 9redwoods

      9redwoods

      I bet the manufacturing price is less than 20 bucks

      Only an idiot would buy a monitor that costs more than a typical computer.

  3. In the coming years it looks like Hayden Christiansen will have plenty of opportunities to reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars.

    He could make an appearance in the Mandalorian, oddly enough. Flashback scenes to the massacre of the Jedi Temple could be in the coming seasons to further flesh out Grogu's backstory. 

    There's also the rumored live-action Ahsoka series. If Anakin's Force ghost didn't make an appearance in that, i'd be rather upset.

    And he'll almost certainly be in the Kenobi series in flashbacks the Clone Wars era. In fact, while they're at it they should have Temuera Morrison play Captain Rex. That's a character I'd love to see in live action, even if for a brief cameo.

    I really hope to see Anakin return. Maybe its just me, but I love seeing characters and actors come back many years later. In the case of Boba Fett, his last appearance before the Mandalorian was in 2002, and the last time we saw the character in canon was 37 years ago. I loved seeing Boba back, and actually doing something other than die or stand there. 

  4. After playing on Xbox Series X for several weeks now I don't know how I ever survived without quick resume. Loading up a game is a thing of the past.

  5. I don't know whats going on with these monolith things that keep popping up, but someone is laughing their head off about it.

      Still though, the reaction to it must be hilarious to whoever did it.

      At least, I'd find it funny.

      I don't know much about it, except that some dunderheads think that it's aliens.

      whoever thought putting iron sticks in random places would confuse people was really right about that

  6. I think it's safe to say that Rosario Dawson was perfect as Ahsoka Tano in the Mandalorian.

     

    Seriously, spot on. Disney couldn't have made a better choice of actress for the character.

    1. Ethaniel

      I think it's safe to say that you're a consoomer.

    2. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      Ok so, I totally did not have to Google that. And as I did not Google that, this is not what I found.

      "A consoomer is a materialistic person who mindlessly consumes the newest products from their favorite brands, is addicted to entertainment, and takes pride in showing off their mainstream leftist political views"

      If I mindlessly consumed everything from my "favorite brands" then I wouldn't have my own opinions, and could not be critical of them. So I'm not that. 

      And I most definitely do not have mainstream leftist political views.

  7. Today is the day we all declare our thanks for Turkey.

     

    Really a wonderful country. 

    Happy Turkey Day! ??

  8. So what do you all think of the 3d spyglass model in today's snapshot?

    I had always hoped it would be 3d, the 2d item just look wrong to me in 3rd person. Although I think they should keep the 2d inventory model, like how the trident works. 2d in inventory, 3d in hand.

      The trident is an entity when thrown. Entities have their own models. The trident you see in your hand uses the same model as the thrown entity. 

    3. Ethaniel

      Ethaniel

      It may have it's own model but it's no more advanced than an item. 

    4. __Mine__

      __Mine__

      @Spontaneous Explosions Sure, it's a model, but said model is essentially just an extruded plane, just like the appearance of standard items in the world.

  9. Why are people always talking about 'framerates'??

    When you buy a computer or a console or a monitor people always wanna know how many 'frames per second' it runs at. Who cares?! A second is a second. As long as a game can move your player from point a to point b in one second it doesn't matter how many images it draws in that time, be it 30, 60, 500 or 1. 

    Framerate is the least important aspect to gaming.

    I can play Minecraft at 8 fps, and no one can tell me I can't!

     

    Edit: I'm not being serious. This is an apparently poor attempt at humor, seeing as its difficult to convey sarcasm when its just text on a screen. ?

      " Framerate is the least important aspect to gaming. "

      this is possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard, how do you play a game at 8 FPS? guess what, you cant, it'll be so slow the experience is ruined, and the game isn't fun, nobody wants a slow PC like that because having at least 60 FPS makes the game enjoyable, and fun to play

      edit,  know now this is a joke, but there was like no sign of it being so, besides a reply that i didn't see

    3. 9redwoods

      9redwoods

      FPS may not be important for sandbox games, but it does ruin immersion, and a low FPS could cause headaches and nausea without any type of motion blur. 

      It's super important for FPS games though. Insanely important for your performance and accuracy.

      I'm honestly not a fan of /s, it kinda ruins the impact of using sarcasm.    I think a better way to convey sarcasm would be either making very heavy use of words like "totally", using italics a lot and putting a few good counter-arguments in your statement while treating them as if they're stupid.    And honestly I think Spontaneous Explosions here did a perfectly fine job at conveying sarcasm.

      An example since I'm pretty terrible at explaining things:
      "The 1911 is clearly the only good choice of handgun.    I mean, come on!    It won two world wars!    Now, don't hit me with that 'Those were over 70 years ago' nonsense, it can't have been that long ago..."

      Another far easier but less subtle method is tO uSe CaPs LiKE aN ABsOlutE mADmAn.

  10. Ya know, Star Wars is 45 years old. Yet its entering the prime of its life now.

    Seriously. In the next ten years, there will be more Star Wars than in all the time since 1977.

    The Sequels were definitely lacking, but I think Disney acquiring Star Wars was the best thing that ever happened to it.

     

  11. Something no one seems to be talking about in regards to Chapter 12 of The Mandalorian.

     

    Now we know that the enemy wins. Moff Gideon gets the Child, at least for a time. In the end we know they will succeed at their goal. Poor Baby Yoda.

      Hey, I don't have Disney+! If I wanna watch it, I have to go to a friend's house, so no spoilers!

    2. Ethaniel

      Ethaniel

      @Draco63 Why would you even click on a status that blatantly is going to have spoilers in it if you didnt want spoilers?

    3. Draco63

      Draco63

      @Ethaniel Because it isn't "blatantly going to have spoilers." All my notifications show me are that it's a status update by @Spontaneous Explosions, no other information.

  12. Okay, that episode of The Mandalorian had an insane reveal! ?

    The plot thickens...

      No its just coincidental cause my username has the word “insane” in it and you so happen to use it and i was surprised

    3. Spontaneous Explosions

      Spontaneous Explosions

      Oh, ok.

      Strangely enough, the insane development in this episode actually had something to do with a helix. Or DNA anyway.

    4. insanehelix7076

      insanehelix7076

      You can say that again

  13. A bunch of people on Twitter are talking about Black Window releasing straight to Disney+.

    I mean, Disney needs to understand something. Marvel fans love their movies. And if a pandemic causes Marvel fans not to get movies, then you need to release them on Disney+ before Marvel fans riot. 

    Ok, I'm not going to riot. But at this point I'd probably pay $30 to see it.

  14. The next Minecraft Bedrock update will add ray-tracing to vanilla.

    It will be available on capable GPU's for windows 10, but I wonder if it will work on Xbox Series X/S in this update.

    I have no doubt they will eventually add it to Xbox, but I wonder if it'll be a few months. 

    Its entirely possible it's been in development for Xbox for some time. Then again, Xbox has DirectX ray tracing and DirectX will already run it on Windows 10, so I wonder if they need to adapt it all.

    Can't wait to play around with it.

     

  15. Is Chapter 11 the best episode of the Mandalorian?

    Well, I won't tell you what to think, but yes. Yes it is.

    And I also won't tell you who will be in the (presumably)next episode, but it rhymes with Afoka Rano

     

  16. Using the spyglass to zoom in on the sun should give you blindness for a short period of time.

     

    I have spoken.

      Along with a whole bunch of other people on Reddit.

  17. I got an Xbox Series X!!!!

    It was tighter than the presidential race, but I got one! Been waiting all year.

      Wait nvm found out ps5 isnt out and neither is security breach

  18. "Donald Trump plays Minecraft"

    An epic tale, by me.

    This is best read if you're familiar with his speech pattern. 

     

    So this is the game I've heard so much about. I know all about Minecraft, I've spoken with the best players in the country, great people, they're great people. But quite frankly, not very smart.
    Can you believe this, they said to me, "Mr.President sir, with all due respect we could out-Minecraft you any day".
    I said to them, "Excuse me, no. You're wrong. I have many, many friends who play Minecraft, and they told me all the things."
    So you wonder what we're doing, you ask me what we're doing here, I'll tell ya'. We're winning. Winning at Minecraft.

    So looking around I see grass, a lot of grass. The greenest grass the world has ever seen.  And there's a cow. Bet you get a lotta steak outta that big guy, well done. A nice well done steak.

    I look over at the plain of beautiful grass, I see a vision of a house. A tremendous house, bigger and better than anything that's ever been.  We're going to build a house. We're gonna build a house, and the villagers are going to pay for it.
    You ask me, Mr.President, how will we build a house? Well, we're going to punch trees. Punch many many huge, oak trees. I'm the best tree puncher, believe me. No one does it better. But We're gonna punch all these trees and craft them into things and place them down.

     

    Idk, I was bored.

      And I think very soon, possibly not probably, it may be a netherite pick. A tremendous pickaxe.

  19. Xbox Series X launches Tuesday.

    This is gonna be tighter than the presidential race. ?

    Microsoft has noted that they will not have enough stock to meet demand, so its going to sell out in minutes. I'm going to try my best to get one the second its out. 

    If all goes well I'll be one of a few million that get one.

      Well, good luck, for me, i can't even afford a Xbox series s, i live in a third world country

      Talk about an irresistible urge

  20. Can they just make a Star Wars show starring Cobb Vanth please?

    1. Yoshifan33

      Yoshifan33

      Only after we get a show centered entirely around Zuckuss and 4-LOM.

  21. My life is complete. ?

    I can now put a candle on a cake in Minecraft.

     

    1. insanehelix7076

      insanehelix7076

      Not yet. I think? Maybe not? Maybe? Probably? Yes?

    2. Draco63
  22. I predict we won't get the election results tonight, or any day soon...

     

    So, ya know. Goodbye sleep. Ima be super stressed until they say who won ???

  23. Aight, this is kinda cheesy but...

     

    If you're an American citizen and are able to, you need to vote. 

    Doesn't matter what side you vote for. As someone who can not legally vote yet, I see not voting as wildly irresponsible, especially this year.

    This is not just a battle between two candidates, but a battle between two different ideals, two different ideas on what government even is.

    The importance if this election cannot be overstated.

     

  24. So like, what do presidential candidates even do all day on Election Day?

    There is pretty much no point in campaigning tomorrow, I don't even know why Trump is doing like 5 rallies today. Nobody is changing their minds at this point.

    I guess they just wait around for the results.

     

  25. Just finished the Season 2 premiere of The Mandalorian.

    And daaaaaaang! That may have been the best episode yet!

    Cobb Vanth is an instant fan favorite, at least for me. He first appeared in a book, but I want more of this guy. Like, give him his own show. 

    And any real fan would know who that mysterious "Jango Fett"-esque character at the end is...??

    Next episode is going to be fantastic.

      (here's something only tangentially related)

      So I used the Force!

      I picked up a box!

      I lifted some rocks

      While I stood on my head!

      Well, I won't forget what Yoda said!
