    Damn, what a finale, that was pretty magical.

    Sony pulling Cyberpunk is huge, that's one of the first blockbuster, AAA games to get that treatment. Not surprised, it's garbage on earlier consoles, and CDPRs messy refund situation only made matters worse, they sort of dumped Sony and Microsoft with a mess, and Sony clearly wasn't a fan. I'd imagine Microsoft will pull the game from the Xbox Live marketplace soon as well. I'm happy to be playing on Series X, the game is pretty fantastic, but yeah, damn, what a complete crap show.

    Yeah I'm in for the inevitable Bandai Figuarts "The Mandalorian" Boba Fett, I really liked this look, he was a beast, and looked good beasting.

    It's mostly The Witcher 3 thing, Witcher 3 was widely considered one of the best RPGs ever made, and easily one of the best games of last generation, if not the best RPG of last gen. Witcher 3 was pretty phenomenal, it set a huge standard for open world, third person RPGs, the Assassins Creed series and many others have taken many, many, many different cues from Witcher 3 and blended it into the blood most of their newer games. A lot of RPG-lite games these days are built around Witcher 3 tropes. Onto Cyberpunk, I did the New Zealand switcher-roo on my Series X yesterday and played for about 13.5 hours, yes, almost straight. It's pretty amazing, it's huge, and open-ended, and there's a ton of options for building and playing your character. Even though the "real" PS5 and Series X versions don't release until next year, the Series X still had an option for "performance" or "quality" mode, basically capped 30fps at 4K or 60fps with a scalable resolution, mostly hovering at 1080p. I'm on performance mode, and it runs very solid for the most part, but there are plenty of bugs to go around, better hardware can't change that. Poor base Xbox One and PS4 look and run like absolute garbage, which was to be expected but still, they're pretty bad. Review code was only for PC, not a single reviewer got console code, seems obvious why, if you're not on one the new consoles, you're going to have a rough experience. The resolution alone seems to drop to 720p for both consoles, and seems to hover around 15-20fps, yikes. The game is amazing so far though, I don't think it's the second coming of Christ like some gamers have made it out to be, but I think it's really, really good. The world is beautiful, and believable, I feel I am fully in charge of every aspect of my character, what I say, do, how I engage situations, it's a full RPG through and through, I'm pretty happy so far. The bugs I've run into haven't been game breaking either, mostly annoying or humorous, lots of T-Pose NPCs standing around in larger areas.

    Got some new Lego in. The Charles Dickens Christmas Carol gift set is pretty neat, not bad at all for a free holiday set.

    The fact is every episode of Mandalorian is filmed in the incredibly advanced, expensive, fancy, top of the tech industry tv/monitor room thing they developed specifically for this show, so not a single part of the production design was lacking, it was all intentional. Just because they chose a more "average" looking or reserved location for the big fight doesn't mean it comes off as lacking or cheap to me, it was intentional, that's just the area they chose to have this fight in. If you found it lacking so be it, but it was shot in one of the most advanced screening rooms ever created, almost entirely digital, real props and people mixed with incredibly advanced virtual sets, this wasn't just shot in some random desert in Cali.

    Holy crap, what an absolutely fantastic episode! Wow! After last week I was expecting some slow down, but nope! Loved, loved, loved the episode, but I love that character, so this was a dream come true for me. I could give a crap less if was fan service, serve that crap up! Star Wars needs to be, at minimum, entertaining, and this episode was monstrously entertaining. I expect the final two episodes will contain the movement in the overall story we were expecting, once again, absolutely nothing wrong with being entertaining and giving fans some brilliant action. Lol in no way, shape or form did this look like a fan film, that's hyperbole, it was fan servicey, yes, but fan film? That's just crazy.

    HLJ pricing is only slightly better then BBTS. Honestly, if I wanted any of these, which I don't, I'd just order at BBTS. Being in the US and not having to international ship them will probably balance out with HLJs price. Iron Man is an easy pass, Thor, Hulk and Cap look great, but I've already got soooooo many Marvel Figuarts, including the full Age of Ultron Avengers, which absolutely don't look as good as these, but I really don't need another Figuarts Avengers team.

    Roy has arrived from Nin Nin, first batch order. Wow that's some crap, I hope you can get it sorted out. After stressing about Nin Nin even fulfilling orders, having your Roy held up on the last leg of his journey has got to be frustrating. Fedex has pulled that with me before, they got a signature, but couldn't even tell me who signed it. That was Chogokin X Figuarts Hulkbuster, I was livid, I got it sorted and FedEx eventually made the delivery, but it was a crap show.
  10. Tking22
    Exact same situation. When FedEx first updated it said delivery Thursday, it reached Vegas this morning and is currently out for delivery, that FedEx Priority plays no games. Excited to get my Roy, just Kaki TV 1A and I'm happy with my collection, I'll grab a 1D if I can at retail, not willing to pay more though, 1D would just be a bonus, it's not something I really need.

    I snagged Monsterarts Nargacuga for $63 shipped off Hot Topics black Friday sale, of all places. I was waiting on stock at BBTS for retail price, this works :). My Rathalos is on the way too, and I'm in for Zinogre when orders open, love me some Monster Hunter.
  12. Tking22
    For those that ordered through Nin Nin and received a shipping notice, but haven't seen any progress, my package is officially in the hands of FedEx and is on the way. No delivery date yet, but is is finally moving.
  13. Tking22
    Got tracking from Nin Nin, glad to see they came through! I'm relieved! Fedex Priority, should receive Roy early next week, hope everyone else's orders go through.
  14. Tking22
    Exact same here, same shipping, nothing yet. Should here from them today or tomorrow at the latest if all is well.
  15. Tking22
    So I guess in the next week those of us that ordered at Nin-Nin will see if we do in fact get the Roy 1S we paid for, or if we're getting screwed, fun!

    I really just want to see a single Predator again, no team, no Predator civil war, just one single nearly unstoppable beast doing it's thing, hunting. Also, just make it an OG Predator, not another hybrid or Super Predator. It's definitely tough in the beginning, but I loved that, that feeling of no hope, just despair, you know you can't fight, just run. It gets better eventually, you definitely can't outright fight or kill the Xeno, but you can drive it away, which kept the feeling of an unkillable stalker, you know the best you can do is buy time. Also, from a game design standpoint, the Alien AI in Isolation was award-worthy, it was such a brilliantly designed monster, it nailed everything that made the Xeno such an icon in the first film, and the tech and AI behind the creature itself was amazing.

    If you don't have him I HIGHLY recommend Blade, he's pretty damn great. Lots of accessories, the coat isn't too bad, and he just looks good, he's a really good Blade figure, still the best out there IMO.
  18. Tking22
    Yeah but then they find a way to kill the beasty in the present day anyway, which becomes even more luck based, and circumstantial. At least with the colonial marines it's usually an earned win or kill, they've got it easier, but it's more believable then the Scooby-Doo like antics of the second AVP. Honestly, the best Alien story since the first film was the game Alien Isolation, which was absolutely amazing, a true love letter to fans of the first film. It caught flack from critics for being too hard, and the antagonist was unkillable, which was the entire point, it was just such a good game and had atmosphere out the wazoo.

    Mouscular Chef? Now that's Monster Hunter! I'm now cautiously optimistic.
  20. Tking22
    Yes, and it's been a fantastic season! Chris Rock has been killing it! I am definitely enjoying this season more then season 3, which fell a bit flat for me. I still think the best season was the first, ol Billy Bob and Martin Freeman were brilliant, followed by season 2, this season third, and season 3 would be my least favorite. Leave it to Fargo to subvert expectations too, what a fantastic show.
  21. Tking22
    Yeah it's kind of a bummer, I'd rather have better articulation then a light up gimmick. Either way ordered, he looks fantastic! I need him to finish off my One:12 Marvel Knights, Moon Knight, Blade and Punisher need their backup!

    I think the last Predator movie I liked was the one with Adrien Brody and Eric Foreman. The latest one was really terrible. Why do we need Super Predators? And enhanced Predators? And Predators imbued with the genes of autistic kids? The Predator is a damn fine and terrifying movie monster, the monster doesn't need an upgrade, the writing does, stop it. This. Holy crap, it seems so simple, STOP DOING AVP IN THE PRESENT DAY! It's not hard, most of the AVP comics took place in the future, in the time of the Colonial Marines, why do we keep getting these cheap modern monster movies that just happen to have a Predator in them?

    I know the next episode is entitled "The Jedi", but what if there's massive misdirection, there's no Ahsoka in this episode, and instead Mando meets up with an actual, admitted Jedi, one Kyle K? That would be crazy. Honestly though, with all this EU and Legends stuff becoming canon again, Kyle seems a no-brainer, he's a massive fan favorite, and a damn fine character all his own. We'll see, I'm guessing it will just be Ahsoka saving Mando's ass against some crazy odds, all not-Jedi style :).

    I ordered Sesame Street and the Las Vegas architecture set, got me over $150 so I got the Charles Dickens gift. What a cool little gift set, I know $150 is a fairly steep buy-in, but it's a cool looking little set. I'm excited to check it all out. I almost, almost, almost bought the VW Camper instead, I'm missing that set and Lego.com actually got stock again, but me and Sesame Street go waaaaaay back, I grew up with those colorful characters and that barrio, I had to have it. I can't decide if I want the JP T-Rex set next, or keep my eye open for the Creator Expert Ecto-1, I missed out and would love one for Christmas.
  25. Tking22
    Yup, still lots of people playing, there's crossplay between PC too, so there's even more people to play with. I think Gears 5 is in season 3, maybe 4, so there's lots of maps and content.
