I imagine Combat Evolved would be next, after the events of what I'm expecting to play out this season that's the next stop for Chief in the game timeline. I absolutely loved Halo Reach, great book and one of the best games in the series, I'm wondering if we'll get....

Either way, solid first two episodes, episode 1 in particular was great, comes off like a soft-reboot of sorts. Effects look better, action was more focused and easier to follow, I'm definitely excited for the rest of the season.

I finally ordered a COBI F-14.  Looking forward to checking it out.

Which one? I just grabbed the Top Gun F14 with Maverick and Goose, looking forward to checking it out when it arrives. 

With Dragons Dogma 2 dropping in just a couple of months I grabbed Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen for Series X for $4.70, to this day this game holds up as one of the greatest action RPGs of all time, it's still incredible. It's certainly dated in a few ways, graphics for sure, but damn the gameplay, RPG elements, companions/pawns, character building and progression are phenomenal, it's still such an absolutely stacked RPG well beyond many modern games.

Highly recommended if you've never tried it but seen people gush about it for years, it's an incredible game that has tons of replay value, and the combat is just insanely fun. Dragons Dogma 2 seems to improving on the original game in every way so I'm insanely hyped, I'll be grabbing that instead of FFVII Rebirth for sure, I'll check that out eventually, part 1 was just okay. 

frakking awesome, that's my birthday weekend, I'll be triple dipping for sure. 

More money on each episode of She-Hulk then an episode of Game of Thrones just isn't sustainable, one season was enough. 

Kong looks fine, Godzilla not so much, and are they still using the same molds? No updates? No real effort? Godzilla isn't even rocking his new crazy purple color scheme, this is beyond lazy, at least he comes with an effect piece this time. 

I really liked season 1, except the B plot with Kwan, she was frakking insufferable. Love the Fall of Reach book, and of course Halo Reach, so I'm really looking forward to this season. 

Sopranos is still my number one favorite show ever on TV, followed closely by The Wire. 

I'm excited to check out Echo, definitely feels more like a Netflix MCU series then a Disney+ series, if that makes sense. That said I saw the showrunner or someone high up finally come out and announced Netflix DD is in canon with the MCU "holy timeline", which is great, but how? Why does Kingpin have literal superpowers now? It seemed on She-Hulk that was Matt getting his first DD suit, was it just a new one? Why didn't Gladiator/Melvin make it? Is Bullseye coming back? Did the events of Defenders happen? I take it the Disney+ DD series shakeup/rewrite is redoing far more then expected, seems they might be writing things now to include the events of the Netflix series, but what about Foggy and Karen? Is The Hand an official thing now in the MCU? What are Punisher? Whatever, Echo looks brutal, and pretty good, and more DD is something I'm always in for.

I guess I was wrong, I just remember all the adds when it came out pushing it for PS5

It was a timed exclusive, they never put the "timed" part in ads, that doesn't create FOMO that pushes better sales numbers for the company that bought the timed exclusivity. 

Who would've thought, years later, the often maligned JJ Trek would be getting awesome merch, that I'm actually excited to buy? Go figure, but I'm in, these Hiya JJ Trek figures look great.

My best friend bought himself a PS5 for Christmas. Although we are both gamers since we were kids we are not very familiar with the PS5 software catalogue. What do you think are the best titles released so far? Any killer apps? Thank you in advance for all your suggestions. 

Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West are both fantastic, you can probably get the loaded GOTY version of Zero Dawn for dirt cheap too, FFVII Remake is great as well, sequel comes out at the end of February.

Interesting...

Texas and California allies? Yeah, this is a work of fiction.

It looks good but that price per brick ratio is absolutely horrendous. 

I got the new Avatar game, absolutely gorgeous, one of the best looking games this gen for sure. Yes, as a lot of people saying, it does feel like a Far Cry Primal 2 at times, but it definitely does it's own thing and is very, very much an Avatar game. The hunting, gathering and exploration is fantastic, combat is a bit too difficult and stealth isn't really a thing, enemies spot you almost always no matter what, there's no clearing about bases using stealth only like Far Cry, enemies seem to know exactly where you are if you shoot your bow at all. Kind of annoying, but really good overall so far. 

Looks like Minus One is getting an extended theater stay because it's been doing so well, I may go see it a third time, this was film of the year for me by far. 

Yeah I'm done buying from Mezco directly, I got hit for $500+ this month and they won't ship a god damn thing until end of January at the earliest. I've got two local shops that also get One:12 Collective stuff in, and it's all the licensed stuff which is all I buy, I don't collect any of their Rumble Society or original stuff. 

At least they left last gen behind, bout damn time. I get it, the install base for PS4 alone is massive, but you've gotta cut the cord at some point, even the PS5 and Series X are dated by modern hardware standards, I'm wondering how the Series S will handle the game, it's a neat little machine but there's always compromises for getting most of these newer titles on it. 

Love me some Fallout, Fallout 2 was my first but I like the Bethesda ones too, really excited to check this out. Honestly, anything with Walton Goggins gets my view, he can do no wrong, guy is a frakking powerhouse actor. 

My cousin passed away earlier this year and I've been spending time with his son more often, taking him to see this tomorrow night, his first Godzilla film! He's excited, I was already in for a second viewing so this works for me, we're gonna watch Shin Godzilla when we get home. 

Looks like a ton of fun to me, I'm absolutely in! Want Godzilla that makes you think and feel? Watch Minus One, Toho delivers on that front, Legendary delivers on stupid, expensive monster action and I love it. 

I liked most of the first season, agreed though, those B plots better be improved, or dropped altogether, they absolutely sank the pace of the first season. 

Norman/Goblin just dropped into my pile of loot at BBTS, excited to check out him and Doc Ock.

I should create a KICKSTARTER campaign to make a Godzilla v Pacific Rim crossover film. Who is with me??!!

I'd watch, forget the second film and Netflix series and we're good to go. 

So the big bad in this new one is some super old, Alpha Kong right? Should be fun. 

Kenshin Figuarts? I'm cautiously optimistic, Bandai's QC for Figuarts has been a bit crap lately, the One Piece line is incredibly hit and miss, Guts is a really rough figure, and even some recent DBZ releases have been pretty rough lately.
