Rob Zombie's "The Munsters" Gets Teaser Trailer Debut

I cannot pass up writing this post! The trailer is so awesome! If you're familiar with the classic Munsters TV show, this trailer will probably greatly impress you, too! It doesn't even matter if you don't know who Rob Zombie is! (I'm a fan of the music, but not interested in the horror movies. I like the Zombie family, but I don't like zombies, except for Zombie Dr. Strange.)

Rock legend and horror film aficionado Rob Zombie said he's been chasing this project for 20 years. At first, I was concerned, knowing how much Rob Zombie loves horror movies and I do not. I was not expecting to be so greatly impressed! It's not like a scary horror movie, it's pretty much exactly... Read All

I will see it at some point. Never been into the horror that Rob Zombie likes to make.

While I don't mind The Munsters I don't have much love for it. Glad Mr. Zombie does and I hope the film does well. That said if it doesn't Dig through the ditches and burn through the witches and slam in the back of my Dragula I'm gonna riot. The car was from The Munsters so ditches better be dug and the witches burned and slammed in the back of a Dragula.

@Will_Ball I agree that not just that I don't like the horror RZ makes, pretty much don't like horror at all. There may be some exceptions, but those are perhaps minor and unique. I don't like bloody horror (I have hemophobia after all).

@Jon I love your reply! I've been exposed to the Munsters. It wouldn't surprise me to find out that I've seen every episode or almost all of them. It hasn't necessarily been by choice, mostly just by someone in my house watching it. I liked it though. I think I do want to see this for sure though.

Black Adam Coming Oct. 21

Do you smell what the....Black Adam.... is cooking, jabroni?! The trailer for Black Adam is now live and the movie hits theaters on 10/21/22!

Black Adam is (obviously) played by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I don't know anything about this character other than what's in the trailer. I love the line where he says he died as a slave and was reborn a god! Another line I like is that super heroes "don't kill people," to which Black Adam replies, "I do!"

I'm looking forward to this mostly because I love comic book content coming to live action, even if it's something I know nothing about. Also even though I'm much more obsessed with and aware of Marvel than DC. The Rock is my... Read All

Diablo Immortal Could Be The Most Popular Diablo of All Time

Diablo Immortal launched on iOS, Android and PC today and I've been playing it a couple days now due to a sneaky launch for folks that per-registered for it. I didn't pay money, just clicked a per-registration button a handful of months ago and it all worked out.

Diablo Immortal Is Good, In Fact It's Really Good

Diablo Immortal is so good I'm actually surprised it's as good as is it. It's a tale as old as time too, company makes free to play mobile version of game and game kinda sucks. But in my time with Diablo Immortal up to level 20+ the game has been nothing short of really good.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/03/2022 at 02:47pm

I am liking it so far. I have played both mobile and PC and prefer PC. I loved that you could use the same controls that you’re used to if you played D3, and customize things pretty easily. The PC port is good, but you can tell it’s in beta because I get some random tanked framerates and glitchiness that I’m sure will be worked out. You can tell that it’s a mobile port though since everything is so zoomed in, and they wanted to keep the exciting enemy density while also zooming you in like that for mobile screens so it gets very busy sometimes. That’s not a dealbreaker though, I was just playing a 48 v 1 boss fight in FF14 last night and D:I’s screen busyness is nothing compared to that. Plus the text is HUGE, again presumably because it’s a mobile game stretched to a desktop monitor. I’d like more customizations, which may come later.

I think it’ll be fun to play through the story and level characters and such, but the endgame grind that I loved in Diablo 3, pushing higher and higher greater rifts etc, will be tainted in Immortal by the free-to-play economics of the game.

I’m thinking you’re right that it’ll do really well which is good and bad in some ways. I really hope the success of their microtransactions (there will be a lot of success here) doesn’t inform decisions about their mainline titles.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/04/2022 at 08:58pm

@Travis Yeah it says "beta" still in the top right corner and pretty much every where else. It's confusing, I wonder why they haven't changed it.

I feel like I've spent a good bit of time with it already and I've seen some tech issues. I had a major FPS drop. I'm running at 2560x1440@165hz w/ VSync and Gsync on, so I do see 165FPS. I've had two NPCs who didn't show a walking animation while I was following them. Also, sometimes I don't hear a voice over, I just see the text box during an NPC conversation. I'd say that one happens more frequently than any other I've experienced. I think these are minor issues that don't greatly distract from gameplay and could probably be resolved easily (my assumption there at the end).

Unfortunately it says my phone isn't compatible. I see some people got this erroneously, however I did some Googling and I don't think my phone meets the system (mobile) requirements.

I'm reading a GameSpot regarding tips for beginners. Maybe we should try to make a warband. I've seen different servers, but they only show how many friends are on a server if they are, but not which friends are on which servers. It looks like we're all spread out.

I'm level 34 now, very close to 35, which is my new questline (reach level 35).

I pretty much agree w/ Jon's assessment of this being a great Diablo game. I mean, I do see some flaws. I mentioned technical issues I've come across, but I also feel like everything is just so spread out in the menus and such. There's a lot of it. I'm not complaining really, but I am glad for the red markers showing me things I need to look at. Otherwise I see somethings here I really like. In a way I'm still talking about all that menu stuff. If feels like there's so much you can do within the menus. It can look overwhelming, but it's also cool to be able to do a lot of that stuff. I also like that you can upgrade a piece of armor and be able to transfer the upgrades (and gems if applicable) to the new piece of armor you want to replace it with. I think it's kind of a QoL treat.

I may have more to say about this later. (And so I've updated this comment.)

You could try downloading it anyway and trying it? It might work, but... be quite slow? That said, the PC port should help you out. I hope over time it improves some, it's good but could be a bit better. I also hope the PC port is a base to port it to consoles. This would be another great F2P addition to the XBox, Playstation and Switch.

I thought about that. I had to side load the Windows 10 Phone Link app so that I could get that working (and I love being able to text w/ my keyboard!). I'm not too concerned though. I don't have much interest in mobile gaming these days and I really hate cell phones.

I've seen plenty of technical issues. It's playable and good enough, but I'd still like to see these issues resolved. I did see an Activision Tech Support character in-game. I thought that was interesting. Maybe I should get back into my habit of trying to resolve issues or report them as bugs if they seem to be.

Oh, I need to join a Warband Raid for Lassal. It requires 8 people. I haven't had any luck getting this done yet. My current objective is to "reach level 40," I'm just a few levels away.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/05/2022 at 02:55am

Aw dang, you cannot transfer characters between servers. I'd love to see us all together in the game and play together if we can or want to. If anyone would like me to join them, please feel free to let me know and tell me which server you're playing on. Let me know what your class is, too, and I'll think about what kind of character to create on your server.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/06/2022 at 08:03pm

"Who knew playing with others would be so fun?!" Yes, that is a quote from silly me. I must agree with the general sentiment I see in chat, I'm really enjoying this game! The game guided me to join a Warband Raid for Lassal. Luckily, I managed to accomplish that (oh and I'm 51 now). Then it guided me to join a clan. I'm now in the Death Eaters and we're full now. When I left late last night/early this morning we were only a few signets away from becoming a Dark Clan. We may have already accomplished that today. I partied up w/ others and had so much fun running around playing w/ my new clan mates and friends I made (I got two friend requests). I've been constantly learning more about the game and it's exciting. I like this game so much more than D2!

I wonder why it's FTP. This seems as good, if not better, as D3. I understand they'll get money from microtransactions, but couldn't they make even more by charging everyone at least $20-30?

Travis Admin wrote on 06/07/2022 at 12:53am

People would balk at the level of micro transactions in a game that you have to pay any money for. You’d need around $100,000 to max out your character. There will be a few whales who pay that too.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/07/2022 at 01:23am

Yeah, you're right. I guess I'm just thinking of people like me that might never even buy anything. I guess the ones that do buy things make up for those who don't. Wow that's a lot of money!

I'm glad you shared that link, mostly because it told me when the story takes place, which is something that's kind of crossed my mind. I assumed it was just it's own separate Diablo world and story.

The Death Eaters are a Dark Clan now! :)

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/09/2022 at 03:17am

I'm excited to read a post by someone that spent that much in Immortal. 100k is a lot and with the biggest Orb pack costing $100 that's 1k taps and, I'm sure, that has to happen over years.

With that, Orbs do purchase platinum which can do the in game auction house but on my server all you can get with that are lower level gems because everyone is holding the higher ones.

If folks CAN spend 100k in game, I'm not sure how but I'm sure it's possible.

So far I've dodged every pay thing and currently am spending nothing. I imagine for some they've already put in 25k.

RIP

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/09/2022 at 05:51am

I don't know what Orbs are. I visited the auction once or twice, but wasn't interested. I think I wanted to sell some gear, but couldn't (was learning). I used my platinum to open up chests in Iben Fahd's Sanctum, which you'll have access to after talking to Cain and Charsi at a certain point (around level 60).

I haven't paid for anything. I don't want to. I'm not interested in buying anything. I'm having fun and enjoying the experience. I'm paragon 2 or 3 now I think. My warband sucks, because no one wants to party up to work on campsite monster kills, but my clan is awesome. Sometimes world chat is awesome and sometimes not. There was a long discussion about cryptocurrency I didn't get into (not interested). Later chat was being helpful answering other player's questions about the game. I participated I think on both sides.

Lower level gems are worthy, but you can get them with Hilts, too, I'm sure. You combine them to get higher ranked gems, which takes 3 for 1. I need to get some more so I can upgrade. You can upgrade a slotted one, but make sure the other two you need to use aren't slotted, slotted gems won't count (except for the one you're upgrading).

Travis Admin wrote on 06/09/2022 at 05:01pm

Yeah there was a live stream lately where someone paid 5k on a single stream and didn’t get a single best-in-slot item. With those chances, the incentive to even buy micro transactions is so low I imagine they’ll need to change the rate to get to a sweet spot of people buying things.

Travis Admin wrote on 06/09/2022 at 05:03pm

It’s really only the endgame where it even matters so if you’re uninterested in the endgame grind, it won’t affect you much.

jdodson Admin Post Author wrote on 06/10/2022 at 04:28pm

Yeah, I’m just interested in the story and trying out a handful of classes. Playing it got me interested in Diablo III again so I might spin that up again.

Azurephile Super Member wrote on 06/10/2022 at 07:22pm

Wow. Well once my level got into the 50's or so picking up an item that's better than what I have has been rare or very uncommon. I'm not sure if all of my gear is Legendary, but most of it is. I might have a piece of armor that isn't, but not much more than that, if any. I'm paragon 5 or so now, I think. I'm assuming paragon levels would be the end game, but I still don't want to spend any money or feel like I need to.

I made it to the start of Act II and I haven’t really played it much after that. I might play it over time to complete it, but while it’s a good game it seems similar to other free to play games. I start it with interest and it wanes very quickly.

I read they did add Legendary transmutation in D3, but it doesn't act in the same way as DIm. I really loved this feature in DIm.

Wow, here's an impressive article about the microtransaction controversy and how bad it really is. I didn't think much on it, but I think this does a great job of showing that the game is seriously flawed because of this. I enjoyed my time with it, making it to about paragon level 5. I had much more fun than I thought I would and I enjoyed being social in a video game, something I haven't done in a very long time. However, other games updated with new content, which caught my interest. So after a point, I felt pretty much done with DI. I'd like to see this issue resolved. It is a fun game, but this is ridiculous.

I never intend to spend money in these games. I don't have an excessive amount of income to do so either. I would have been ok paying for the game, especially if it did not include these microtransactions. I just hope they get it all right with Diablo IV.

This looks like a very tongue in cheek version of the character with a healthy dose of comedy. I really hope the vis work is early because some of those effects looked incomplete but that wouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Plus I’ll watch anything Tatiana Maslany is involved in. Orphan Black sold me on her for life, convincingly playing over a dozen characters that seemed so different you could forget you were watching the same person.

Azurephile Super Member Post Author wrote on 05/18/2022 at 07:06pm

This trailer reminded me of Angel (the Buffy the Vampire Slayer based show for the character of the same name). I picked up on an animation quirk, too. It's Disney, so there's hope they'll fix it up.

I've never seen Tatiana before. It's funny now that I'm looking at her first name, in the comics one of her rivals is Titania. I read some She-Hulk comics recently as part of a different story arc. The She-Hulk part of it didn't conclude so I'm missing out on it for now. I'm now seeing her as I read the original Infinity saga.

Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition Positive Review

Azurephile gives this a solid "Rad" on the Ghost Scale

This is fun, with very few issues, and is well worth your time.

Azurephile gives this a "Rad" on the Ghost Scale

This is fun, with very few issues, and is well worth your time.

I’m kind of surprised at the Steam reviews for Chrono Cross: Radical Dreamers Edition. I recently finished the game and decided I wanted to give those “mixed” Steam reviews a bit of positivity. (I posted a smaller review there, but wanted to write this out here.)

This is one of those HD remasters, although only 3D models were given the HD treatment, so backgrounds do look horrible since our eyes are now so overwhelmed with beauty and impressive graphics these days. However, what a game looks like, even if it’s aged 20 years, doesn’t make or break it.

Chrono Cross was a JRPG that came out in 1999. It is apparently one of the best RPGs ever according to some things I’m reading. I played through it only one time, but I remember that I really enjoyed it. That’s why I was glad it was getting the HD treatment and coming to Steam. You’ve probably heard of Chrono Trigger, well Chrono Cross is it’s sequel. I’d say the two can be thought of as completely separate as different as they are, but they also have similarities.

Chrono Cross, like pretty much all RPGs, has it’s own ways of doing things. For instance, there is magic in the game, but they’re called “elements.” There’s a circle in the upper left hand corner. It contains two other circles. These circles contain colors of the elements used. So, if you use a blue element like “Cure,” the innermost part of the circle will turn blue. The next element will push that blue to the next ring. This repeats until that first color disappears. If you want to use a summon, you have to get the entire circle of circles all one color. So, you’ll probably have to use some elements to get the field the color you need it, but enemy element usage also affects the circle. Items are use like elements, too. You’re limited by how many elements you can use in battle. This limitation is based on your element tech levels, which will grow as you do as you gain experience.

Otherwise, it’s just as familiar as all other great RPGs. You walk around an open world, talking to NPCs, recruiting characters to your party, exploring the world, and getting through the story. It’s very good though, I think. So, if you enjoyed Chrono Cross, I recommend getting this. It’s only $20. It has some extra features, too. You can press a button to speed up the action or another to make your party pretty much invincible.

The “Radical Dreamers” part of the title escaped me, because I was not aware of what it referred to, but I learned. It’s a text-based game based on the game, but as a bit of a prequel. I played it and died. It was interesting.

Steam users are complaining about the fact that sometimes the FPS is surprisingly not smooth. This isn’t an irrational complaint as you’d expect something like this to be smooth especially on today’s PCs. I did notice the issue, but it was so infrequent and lasted so briefly that I deem it as insignificant. It didn’t affect my enjoyment of the game.

After finishing the game, I found New Game+ and Continue+. The latter is confusing. Basically, Continue+ lets you take data from your completed game and put it into a regular save file. So, it won’t work with a New Game+ save. It’s supposed to help you get all the characters. I had trouble figuring it out at first, but I eventually understood.

I tried to replay Chrono Trigger after this, but it was too difficult and I gave up. LOL

Let me know what you think about this. Have you tried it? Do you know about or like Chrono Cross?
