When are we going to get the Snyder cut of the emoji movie? The version we got was pretty bad.

Ask hbo

@Eel I kind of wanted to know the actual figure...

@Vinny As soon as the Snyder cut of the Justice League is released, including black suit Superman...

Hey everybody! Today is Pac-Man's 40th birthday! Yay for the old pill-popper...

How's about that for the revival of vinyl, huh?

@ThanosReXXX @DenDen Thank you for the kind words

@Zuljaras Well, they're well-deserved. And if it already looks this good in it's "work in progress" form, then I can't wait to see the painted end result. I am hoping to see some shading and highlighting, though, but that's obviously up to you...

This, along with Darkseid actually appearing seem to be some of the coolest aspects of this cut.
Tbh I didn't watch the 2017 version, I was disappointed with DC after Suicide Squad and after reading some reviews for JL along with seeing some footage on YT - The visual effects seemed really bad. Ended up skipping it.

@ThanosReXXX
I never knew if Dragon Quest XI got Vinyl record. 😮

@Eel
I still have difficulty to find New 3DS XL / New 2DS XL Europe version in Indonesia from Tokopedia.
If i found one, the machine mostly 99.99 % has been jailbroken by LUMA software. 😣
I felt insulted to see tons of jailbroken 3DS machines from Tokopedia because most of Indonesian peoples like pirated stuffs so let's jailbreak all the things as possible.
I still have dignity, i don't buy pirated stuffs anymore. Not everyone is interested with pirated stuffs. It simply insulting me as an original game collector.

I don't usually search beyond Amazon for new in box consoles.

@ThanosReXXX oh well if you want to know the amount, it was MX$1,998 (Mexican MSRP is MX$2499).

@Vinny Well, I've seen it, and it really wasn't that bad, nor were the special effects. Well, at least in my opinion. The only thing I don't like is how DC keeps their TV universe separate from their movie universe, something that Marvel does SO much better, which is a MASSIVE help in regards to the continuity and believability of the universe that you're trying to create.

On top of that, DC already had a perfectly serviceable Flash, so there was no reason whatsoever to get a new (and decidedly uninspired) actor on board for that, and I didn't like the actor, and I also disliked the weird suit with shoulder padding. Didn't look like a Flash suit at all.

And don't even get me started on them not even being able to hold on to their main cast/actors. Whenever they decide to start filming again, we're going to get a new Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, and I wouldn't be surprised at all, if any other actors will also leave, or call it quits, although Wonder Woman and Aquaman were pretty decent movies, and quite profitable in their own right, so there may at least be some hope left for these two, but the rest of it is basically back to the drawing board, which in my view is going to hurt them immensely.

If it weren't for the time already invested in it, as well as the handful of movies that DID do well, then they would probably have been better of starting from scratch altogether.

@Anti-Matter Me neither, so that's why I posted it.

@Eel So, around $88, then. That's a pretty decent price indeed.

@ThanosReXXX That's what kills the appeal to people (like myself) who aren't well versed in the comic origins.
Marvel built a universe, slowly, over a long time. It all jived together. I've tried watching some DC and it all feels disjointed and unconnected, ever changing actors and in some cases like they were trying to hurriedly push a universe on me, to instantly had what Marvel built up over time. Suicide Squad, for example, just had this quick information drop at the beginning of who's who. I didn't even finish that movie, to be honest. I don't have any real knowledge of Marvel either, but got to know the heroes and even the baddies, over time. Loki was with us a long time, the Infinity Stones history peppered in, Thanos was mentioned more and more and dropped in here and there before he made his real appearance. An info drop doesn't have the same effect. My experience with DC movies hasn't been great because of the awful world building and I pretty well lost all interest in it a while ago.

Trying to catch up, it's been a day.

Awesome statue, Zul. Love the detail.
Fresh leaf mint tea from my garden > crystal meth ice tea.
Ryan Reynolds in Voices is hilarious, and Safe House is the bomb diggity.

@Cotillion Probably also the reason why the Wonder Woman movies and the Aqua Man movie did so relatively well in comparison, seeing as these DID take the time to invest in their respective stories and lore, instead of "info dropping".

I could still watch and somewhat enjoy all the other DC movies, though. But then again: I'm a former comics addict, so for me, those back stories are already well-known and not necessary to make heads or tails of things happening in these movies. And besides, it's not like any of these DC or even Marvel movies follow these origin stories verbatim, much less all the other subsequent story lines.

Would probably also be damn near impossible to do, what with the decades of source material available, not to mention reboots, retro-fitting, alternate universes/Earths, and so on, and so on...

@HobbitGamer Haven't seen Voices yet. Guess that's another one to add to my "to watch" list, then.

its dangerous to go alone!
take this.

judging from that pic it needs more both, just sayin though

Productive work day. Grabbed some lunch somewhere for a change (drive-up), then after working I did some cleaning and beheaded my lawn. Chlorophyll was everywhere. It was glorious. Internet rounds now, then some Batman: The Telltale Series. Haven't played much beyond Episode 1 thanks to FE: Fates, but I'm in the mood for some Gotham City drama this evening.

Still need to see the Wonder Woman movie. Not a huge fan of the character, but I've heard the movie is pretty good. Plus, David Thewlis is in it.

@WoomyNNYes I'll probably install it on my phone one of these days when I'm feeling less lazy.

@Zuljaras That is seriously awesome! That cyclops has come a long way!

@ThanosReXXX I definitely want to, but when is another question entirely. I'd have to swap out quite a few bookmarks on my home screen's internet folder. #FirstWorldProblems

...Honestly, I'll probably get to it at some point this weekend. Preferably when I'm not about to fall asleep from exhaustion. XD

@bimmy-lee The feeling when I realized I was truly seeing what I could see without any sort of help was definitely a good one! I wore glasses until age 15 or so, switched to contacts, then briefly switched to glasses again before the surgery as it was a requirement; contacts change the shape of the eyes a bit, so you have to be out of them for a minimum of so many days before the surgery. I disliked going back to glasses. They change your field of vision, and my eyesight was bad enough that the glasses would distort my environment around the edges. I took a nasty spill on asphalt near work a few days after fully transitioning back into them; I misjudged the step from sidewalk to asphalt thanks to said distortion. Definitely lost some skin and a little blood.

Good on you for defending your cousin. Nobody asks to wear glasses; they're a necessity. Kids can be so brutal....

@ogo79 Somebody forgot to add the bouillon to that soup there...

@Tyranexx I never looked into this personally, but if the mobile browsers are anything like their desktop counter parts, then you should just be able to "one-click" import your favorites/bookmarks from one browser to another.

Oh, and you definitely SHOULD see Wonder Woman. It's a pretty good movie, Gal Gadot is amazing and very believable as the titular character, and then there's plenty of other good actors in there, so you could definitely do far worse than spend a couple of hours of your time to watch it. And it may very well incite some newly found appreciation for the character in you as well...

And, as mentioned a couple of comments ago to another user, Aquaman is definitely also up there with "DC movies actually worth seeing", so if you have another 2,5 hours to spend besides Wonder Woman, why not add that one as well? Unless of course, you've already seen it...

I really loved Wonder Woman. If it ended like 10-15 minutes earlier, it'd be like a top 5 superhero film for me. I should rewatch it.

I should also sleep normally. I miss that.

Good sleep is good for you. Just checking about a new system. I love to build coasters and sandbox games like GTA. I dont have a switch or (3)DS yet but I am still looking to a game that last for a while.

@ThanosReXXX I'll probably fiddle with installing Firefox later while I'm out playing a little Pokemon Go. Today is fairly lazy as far as Saturdays go. Besides a few things I need to do around the house, I don't have a ton going on. I've spent most of my day playing Birthright and have started reading through the Appendices of The Return of the King. Currently reading through the highlights of the ruling kings of Gondor before their line died out and the stewards took over.

I'll pencil in Wonder Woman on the "Movies I need to see" list then. I've seen a few clips admittedly, and it doesn't look bad at all. I don't dislike the character per se as I like the interpretation of her in the DCAU, but...I don't know....She's just never been a character I've been overly fond of. /shrug Using the previous example, I much prefer characters like Hawkgirl and Black Canary.

I haven't seen Aquaman either. TBH I'm more likely to see the previous film. Never been too interested in the guy.
