My 7 year old cousin handed me his to play fortnite for a while and it reminded me of trying to play games with the analog stick on the original PSP, only every input was just as annoying as the analog stick. Sorry I guess lol. He loves it, you can too. I'll just have to make do with being able to touch my thumb and forefinger while gripping a pack of sweetarts.

They did a What If issue about Osborn getting the Infinity Gauntlet and it was amazing. At first he uses it for world domination and to torture Spider-Man. Then he pulls his abusive father out of the past to show off how much of a success he is. His dad is understandably freaked out and calls him a monster. Osborn reacts by making him love him via the Gauntlet.

Thanos shows up to fight Osborn for the Gauntlet and fails, but brings up how forcing someone to love you is bullshit and isn't real love. Realizing that his father will never truly love him, he vanishes his dad from history out of frustration.

Then he suddenly realizes, OH WAIT, and ceases to exist, leaving the Gauntlet to float around space.

Osborn's really good at accidentally killing himself.

To be fair, the original Xbox is pretty goddamn huge. The original model PS3 was massive too.

Fortnite is terrible on the Switch, it’s basically there because Chance the Rapper wanted it and then it became a meme.

It’s a glorious haven for indie games though, mainly due to its portable factor and Nintendo finally chilling out about their policies on them. I still laugh about how Binding of Isaac wasn’t even allowed on the 3DS at first and now it’s one of the biggest games on the Switch.

What no it doesn't. It's a game made entirely of bad and too long cutscenes (the fighting is also based on winning by interactive cutscene). The only "good" parts are watching scenes from Disney movies over again.

Bioware Austin already made Old Republic, and even the expansions for it aren't great.

Also they've got a new game coming (probably?) out this year from Respawn.

And their other Star Wars game is what touched off the whole loot box topic of the last year. Not to mention the 2-3 Star Wars games they’ve just outright cancelled, included one that was an Uncharted reskin.

I dunno how they're gonna squeeze Captain Marvel in here but I'd be shocked if Brie didn't show up in some capacity. Now get Rami Malek or Lakeith Stanfield to play the villain and we're golden.

edit: just for reference, here is the cast of Short Term 12:

Brie Larson (post-Scott Pilgrim, pre-Room)
Rami Malek (pre-Mr. Robot/Freddie Mercury)
Stephanie Beatriz (pre-Brooklyn 99)
Lakeith Stanfield (pre-Atlanta)
Kaitlyn Dever (after the first season of Last Man Standing)

and John Gallagher Jr. prior to The Newsroom airing, who was arguably the second most popular person in the cast (save the brief appearance from Melora Walters) at the time of filming because of his stage career.

In short, Destin Daniel Cretton can cast the gently caress out of a movie.

i'm really annoyed because I'm flying from LA to Chicago that day which means that I'll be in two different cities that have multiple theaters showing the movie but I'm not gonna be able to see it.

On the bright side, early preview showings like this are generally a sign that the studio is confident in the movie so it's good to know that they think they have a hit on their hands

Ok not so much total opposite, but you know, sees footage of Superman fighting the imperialist aliens and decides he's on our side and doesn't go full Cheney.

The point’s not that Aquaman is dumb. The point is that it’s both a borderline remake of T5: The Last Knight, and extremely weird.

Like, just for starters, Aquaman is not a superhero movie. The ‘Aquaman V Black Manta’ part is a minor subplot, while the actual narrative is about a Deep One named Arthur who goes on this Campbellian ‘inner journey’ of self-realization.

Atlantis in the film is basically Oz. There is no compatibility between it and the world of Kansas that Clark Kent hails from. You have something like the overlapping fantasies of Interstellar.
