Halo Infinite
I'm not sure how, but Halo Infinite multiplayer looks a bit more interesting than the brief single player they showed. I'm still quite excited...
Wow, my childhood came rushing back, too! "After 40 years" though? Wikipedia says He-Man came out in '83 and I'm 41 (I was born in '79 and will be 42 in a few months), some how this math doesn't seem to add up (and I suck at math). I thought I saw something about this while reading the daily news at GameFAQs.com (GameSpot). Thanks for sharing, this looks cool! I also like the music in the video! Oh and I also still have some He-man action figures (along with others like TMNT), I've seen them recently.
Kevin Smith is showrunner on this.

Awesome!!!
Somehow He-Man looks more ripped in 2021? Will the new season address his possible steroid use?
He has been lifting battlecat.
Check out this video I just watched with some awesome details about the show! I'm mostly impressed with the cast, which includes Mark Hamill as Skeletor along with Sarah Michelle Gellar and Alicia Silverstone, which are two that I haven't seen or heard about in a very long time. There are other well known cast members, too! Oh another point, is that the composer has worked on Walking Dead (which I've never seen and have no interest in), Battlestar Galactica (the reboot that I loved), and Godzilla: King of the Monsters (something else I loved). https://youtu.be/CclUI4iI7xM
There's also another CG animated He-Man and the Masters of the Universe show coming to Netflix. It doesn't star our familiar He-Man characters, though some of them look similar. You can check out the trailer here: https://youtu.be/ZXApnj-ztIE
*My non-spoiler thoughts I wanted to share.*
There are currently only 5 episodes with 5 more to come, although their release hasn't been announced yet. I really enjoyed it and seeing the characters again after so very many years. It brought back some fond childhood memories. It reminded me of the action figures my cousin and I used to collect, some of which I believe I still have. Of course, it reminded me of the cartoon we used to watch.
Mark Hamill is an excellent Skeletor. He's done a fabulous job not only as an live-action actor, but also a voice actor. The Joker is a character he often voices and Skeletor definitely sounds just like him, which I think is perfect. The rest of the cast is great, too. My ears didn't quite recognize Alicia Silverstone, but that could be because Queen Marlena doesn't play a major role, she speaks little. Sarah Michelle Gellar's voice for Leena is very recognizable and I really enjoyed hearing her again. It's been maybe about a decade since I've heard her voice since bingeing Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Liam Cunningham's name isn't as familiar, but his voice for Man-At-Arms makes him recognizable. At first I thought it was Liam Neeson. I think it's an interesting coincidence that both actors share the first name and to me sound very similar. However, if you watched Game of Thrones, you'll recognize the voice of Liam Cunningham. He played Davos Seaworth.
Some of the show is what I call "corny" although "cringe-worthy" I'd say is another term for the same thing. If you don't like puns, then beware there are plenty of them.
I don't want to give away spoilers, so I'll just say that the first episode was shocking. I had to verify that I had watched the first episode, you'll see why. The last episode leaves us on a cliff hanger and I am most definitely looking forward to watching more. I'm still curious about the fate of one character, whether or not it's actually final because I doubt it.
I'd say this show is definitely a good one for those of us who grew up enjoying the classic He-Man cartoon and action figures. I can't say whether or not someone unfamiliar with He-Man would like it.
If you watched this, let me know what you think about it. Let me know if you also grew up w/ He-Man.
Loved it. I have almost watched the first 5 two times through. Need to finish up the second viewing.
BTW, 2nd part got announced as coming out on Nov 23rd.
I'm glad you loved it, too. Thanks for the announcement. Wow, November's looking like a good month (here's hoping my state's election goes the way I voted).
Of I forgot to say "arigato Mr. Roboto."
Kevin Smoth He-man was great. Honestly didnât expect it to be as awesome as it was. Really looking forward to part two and I enjoyed what they did in the first season.
That said, I get why some fans didnât like it. It focuses on other characters and gives the show immediate stakes, which makes it seem fresh. It really feels like a new show and I know it upset some folks but new isnât always bad.
Hm, well my world is pretty isolated, I'm not aware of what anyone else thought other than you and Will_Ball. My only guess for people not enjoying it is because they didn't grow up w/ He-Man like we did. I think I see your point, though. The show seemed to be focused on He-Man much less, which is perhaps why his name isn't even in the title. I'm glad you enjoyed it, too.
Also, I thought it was cool how it actually did tie to the original series. It was admitted that Skeletor kept trying and failing and I think even he recognized that and finally did something about it. I thought it did seem like a continuation or evolution of the original.
There's a CG show of the same world, but it's geared more towards kids and doesn't look interesting to me.
Some people thought it was too woke. Other people did not like how he-man was used and felt Kevin Smith lied about the show.
Really? "Woke?" Wow, people are getting really offended with that and I can't understand why. I'm confused, too, because my understanding of the term means becoming aware of racial inequality, but I didn't see that happening at all in the show. In fact, all the humans were white. What exactly did Kevin Smith lie about? Ah well, ya know, it doesn't matter what others think of something, if you enjoy something for yourself that's all that matters. You can't please everyone, clearly.
Woke in this case as putting the woman in the center rather than the man.
As for what Kevin "lied" about, I will have to be abstract, to avoid spoilers. Prior to the show coming out there were rumors that one character was sidelined. Kevin said that the character was in every episode. Technically Kevin was right, but there is some wiggle room here between what the fans were mad about and what Kevin was saying.
Ah, right, I guess "woke" isn't specifically racial. I can see how it applies generally to equality.
I see what you're saying about the "lie." That's a good observation. Perhaps people were expecting something much more like that classic cartoon, but instead we got something a bit more modern. Perhaps it has an unexpected focus. I guess it just flew over my head, because I didn't care, it didn't matter to me at all. I enjoyed it. I think the next 5 episodes might be closer to what others were expecting.
Trailer for part 2: https://twitter.com/NetflixGeeked/status/1453391066741329930
Sweet! That looks truly epic!
Neat!
I really enjoyed it quite a bit. The TVA as a concept is incredible and if Loki becomes an FBI procedural for variants then the opportunities are pretty wide open for the show to do pretty much whatever they want.
Loki: SVU
Yeah, something like that. After WandaVision folks were asking for a Jimmy Woo+Darcy Marvel FBI/XFiles show and it seems Loki is the reason why they aren't doing that.
That said a Jimmy Woo+Darcy show would be fun.
>That said a Jimmy Woo+Darcy show would be fun.
Agreed!!!!
Wow, episode 2 and the đŠ hit the fan! While watching every one of these shows and episodes, I just keep wanting them to never end. Marvel is definitely delivering!
Episode 4 and the đŠ has hit the fan yet again! Be sure to stick around for the post-credits scene.
Episode 5 is gloriously epic! I have no idea what words are left to describe how the end will be, as I'm sure it will be gloriously epic as well! I can't wait to see the New Rockstars breakdown tomorrow. I noticed Oak Island on the TVA board at the beginning. There are lots of other things in this episode as well. This is definitely my most favorite episode so far. Marvel just keeps delivering the awesomeness!!!
Yeah, it was great. I wonder how itâs going to end?
Yeah and then we wait for season 2.
Right. It seems like they might keep Loki going. At least, I hope they do. Maybe heâll be part of a Mobius / Sylvia run TVA at some point. Itâs not a bad thought to have one, not sure itâs been run well to this point though,
Alligator Loki is my favorite.
I think I'm like Loki and in love with Sylvie.
Sylvie is awesome.
At the end of WandaVision, I was convinced Wanda was the reason why there's a "multiverse of madness" in the next Doctor Strange movie. She's going to be in it, but I no longer think she's the one at fault. I think what just happened has, however, opened the door for her to see that her children are elsewhere and I'm sure she's going to go after them, which may be bait by Mephisto. But, that's just my theory or idea. I think she's going to be a problem as the Scarlet Witch and Doctor Strange is going to try to help her be good.
I did like this ending. I was surprised, because, regarding the show, the actor told someone, "I don't know what you're talking about." I was afraid it was going to be another Loki. I thought that made sense, because the show is about him, but I'm glad they didn't go there. All signs pointed to who we saw. Oddly, though, he didn't say his name, but he has one other than what Miss Minutes called him. We'll definitely see him again in Ant-Man Quantumania, but maybe something else. Maybe other MCU titles will hint at him or we'll see his effect on them. I bet season two will come before that movie, though to give us a deeper look into what's going on.
All of my info comes from New Rockstars, because my familiarity with the comics is extremely limited. Some of my theories are my own, some influenced by New Rockstars or ones they've mentioned. I watch their channel daily.
What did you think about this? What do you think is going to happen? Did you enjoy it?
Looks really cool! I have tried to get back into NMS, but with so many other games, I get distracted. Maybe some day as I really loved it when it was launched.
Well when you do eventually get back into it (assuming you do), you'll see lots of new content and probably love it even more. :)
My son will be excited! He is disappointed that the release got broken up, but at least this is something.
Yeah, I understand. Waiting for something isn't fun, especially if you're really looking forward to it, but when the time arrives, you forget about the wait and (at least try to) enjoy what you have. Sadly, I feel like often we wait much longer than the time we spend actually playing and enjoying something. I've noticed this multiple times.
Since this post is recent and I just found something new, I thought I'd share what I just found here instead of making a new post.
Here's a new video featuring a couple members of Mojang answering questions about both parts of the Caves & Cliffs Update: https://youtu.be/_6XjfohyyRg
There are some interesting things to point out. I said in my post that I began to think like some others that I think I'd prefer them to just release everything at once, even if it meant waiting the rest of the year for it. However, I believe they gave a good reason for not doing so. It helps them focus. So, they can finish parts and release them and adjust them with community feedback, but having finished some parts allows them to focus on finishing the rest.
Since world generation is changing in part two, including adjustment how high and deep worlds are, and that Mojang doesn't want to do something that destroys things you've already built, the world generation from old to new is going to feature "blending." This means that where you've already been is going to remain the same, but what you've only seen, but not where you've actually been, and new chunks will have the new world generation. This includes very tall mountains and deeper caves with new biomes.
Another interesting tidbit is that Agnes said they already have a plan for the post Caves & Cliffs Update for Minecraft, which they will announce at Minecraft Live 2021.
The Caves & Cliffs Updates will be released for all platforms at the same time.
Feel free to let me know what you think about this.

Caves & Cliffs update part 1 is out now with a funny trailer (mostly goats head butting every one): https://youtu.be/0maWbr0FHKY
Here's the article I found that in along with some details of what's in the update (some of which I wasn't sure about):
https://www.gamespot.com/articles/minecraft-caves-cliffs-part-1-update-is-out-now-watch-a-trailer-here/1100-6492520/
Caves & Cliffs Update 2 comes out 11/30. It contains the rest of the C&C update which consists mostly of the expansion of the world height (it gets much higher and lower). Additional cave features (and bigger mountains) are in it, too. There are parts that were originally announced for the C&C update, but they're going in a future update instead. I was most disappointed that they removed pouches. Those are great items that let you store up to 64 items per inventory slot. I think they would be an awesome addition.

Listened to this today, and I wondered, "Do kids these days know what a mosh pit even is?"
I wish I knew too.
Isnât that the pit that ate boba fett?
đ¤Ł
I havenât see the first movie yet.
Do you have any interest in it?
Kind of? It isnât a must see for me, but I have a slight interest.
The first Venom is a fun movie. If you find it free, I recommend it. It's not a masterpiece, but much better than the low expectations I had for it lol.
But, I'm not really excited for this next movie. The trailer was just kinda meh for me. But, I am looking forward to movies in theaters, and this would probably be a fun one to see there :)
New trailer! In this one we get to see what looks like how Cletus gets the Carnage symbiote. There are other things in it. I think the best part is when Venom is facing Carnage but refusing to fight and goes back into Eddie, saying "that's a red one." So, it must mean something (bad) to Venom. https://youtu.be/ueXkLEpJBPU
I just found out this movie was supposed to come out this month, but they pushed it to next month, then reduced the days. So, now it's coming out October 1st. I don't know when I was expecting this, perhaps not so soon, but I'm looking forward to it. Apparently the rescheduling is due to COVID, but Shang-Chi did so well that they made the last change to an earlier date (earlier as in before the last delay they gave it).

Diablo II Resurrected looks very exciting. As I said in the other thread I'm not sure which version I am going to get but with cross platform saves maybe it doesn't matter?
As I said in that other thread "PC Master Race!" LOL
Oh and there's some cool Far Cry 6 coverage, too. I haven't watched all of it, but this trailer is interesting (especially after seeing Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, which is the only role I've seen him play): https://youtu.be/QQtaY_xKejo
