There's something about Shounen shows that make them easy to marathon. At least, if it's competent enough.
Just finished FMA:B. Fuck that was good stuff.

What to do with life now.
Replay it at higher difficulty.
Ehh, while I'm already tempted to play it again from scratch. I finished the game with 78% compilation. There are still many things to do, so I guess I find those relics and raid more secret tombs and whatever.

There's also multiplayer but no is playing it now.......

pls @feaor I played Diablo 3, I was a monk and replayed with Witch Doctor. Was playing with my brother.

I have to say Diablo 2 was heaps better no contest, D3 was considerably easier as well. It was still fun, though.
Belial at Torment III too stronk
Have you played recently? The game has changed a ton in the last two patches/seasons. I think its better than D2 by quite a bit now, its always been a better designed game imo but I think they've finally hit the sweet spot where its really challenging but still fun and feasible to progress in as a casual.

Meh
I played it last year, I wouldn't have finished the game if I wasn't playing with friends, but it was probably because I'm trying to stay away from those kinds of RPGs that are pure grinding. Imho there wasn't much to it besides the addictive looting; thankfully one of my friends was godlike at the game, and the other one couldn't even manage to walk in a straight line without getting stuck or dying, so we basically built our own hilarious narrative while playing.
I eventually broke the game with the Demon Hunter + items/perks/traps that boost critical hits + projectile spamming abilities, so we just breezed through the last act and the expansion pack.

just saw deadpool, it was fun, it wasnt anything more or less than i was expecting which was a goofy short run to pass the time with friends. Some jokes fell flat while others got a pretty decent laugh out of me but nothing outrageously funny. This sounds like more praise than it is but its probably the most enjoyable marvel movie in half a decade or so but i also thought most of the recent marvel stuff ive seen was either outright bad or just ok, guardians of the galaxy was the only other one id say was good but i had issues with the handling of drama in it while deadpool knew what it was and had some actually decently handled drama at a few points to help offset the "lol so random" everything else and never tried overstepping it boundaries too much.

Nothing to write home about but is a pretty safe bet if you like the character, ryan reynolds' acting and pure fun he was having with the role really sells the movie as a whole and i think he was perfectly cast. Its kind of worth it just to see how much the movie gives the middle finger to fox, actually it kind of makes fun of alot of the bullshit that makes me tired of these superhero movies and actually is pretty satirical overall which i think will fly over some people's heads and just have them write it off as childish violence.

since most critics don't know much about who deadpool is, many critics rate this movie as trash tier, trying to hard to be funny movie, with chidish jokes and execessive violence. But that's exactly how deadpool is. he doesn't give a fuck about others, he's just there to wreck havoc and eat chimichangas

Is this who Deadpool is?


Review by davidehrlich ★½

not a parody, just a cheap superhero movie that ceaselessly reminds you it knows how lazy & stupid it is.

you can't afford to make a pure superhero subversion, because it has to cost $$$ in order to look the part. but Deadpool also had to be super inexpensive in order to finance a hard-R movie about a juvenile 4th-rate superhero with a tangential relationship to the X-Men... so it's like a 7-10 split and the film throws the ball straight down the middle. it ends up falling into the same traps that it exists to mock, and it doesn't have the wit or filmmaking muscle to make that look good.

Yup. Relics, documents, artifacts .. etc.

There are also secret tombs where you have to beat puzzles to earn rewards and whatnot. You get the point. I guess I could do all of them.

first of all this is a superhero movie ffs. the filmmaking doesn't need to be groundbreaking or innovative, it needs explosions, villains and hot chicks.many people believe that deadpool needs to be taken serious (like most superhero movies), instead of relaxing and enjoying his crazy ass life.
second, with the introduction of 2 x man in the movie now people also assume that deadpool also needes to follow the X-men franchise formula (drama, action, tragedy, more drama, and a little pinch of comedy), and when faced with deadpool profanity and juvenile comedy (yes the jokes are dirty and dumb but they are still fun as hell) they feel the movie fails to deliver what it was trying to do, which is the complete opposite.


regrading kanye, the man is either the biggest genius in the world or the most retarded rapper i 've ever heard

That's not what he's saying doe. It mocks superhero tropes while still following the formula with a bit of variation, maybe like OPM does.

She doesn't look that bad.

Idk, both her design and the way she's animated are too close to being lifelike, so my brain is automatically less forgiving of anything that looks even the slightest bit unrealistic. That's why it makes me uncomfortable.

It's weird, I have less trouble accepting lifelike/rotoscoped animation if the characters are more cartoony; those designs probably tell my brain that I'm not supposed to consider the scene as if it was happening in the real world, so I can still be immersed in the fictional one, and the rotoscoping comes off as "nice animation" instead of feeling like a failed, ugly imitation of real life. (that clip still feels a bit weird, though)

ANIMATION IS WEIRD, I don't know what I'm talking about.

Ironically enough everyone on Letterboxd is calling it shitty meta
I don't think I'm going to watch it because I'm burnt out on superhero movies.
it cheats at a couple times with its meta but it also never really tries to claim it is inherently better than what its spoofying which lets it escape being like the shittiest meta thats up its own ass, its more like it just realizes how retarded it is and how retarded the genre really is, except when making jabs at hollywood and how horrendous fox are as a studio. I think the reason it works is cause while it is being a satire and is actually way more clever and subtle at some of it than it leads on it never actually relies heavilly on it for the movie and thankfully doesnt break the 4th wall too much though it did come close to being a bit too overdone.

And id wait to see it when it releases out of theaters if your burnt, i mean i fucking despise superhero movies at this point but i still thought it was a 7 so there is that
