Nothing amazing, but decent episode. But it kind of got overshadowed by the promise of hijinks next week…

Any of you still playing? I been plugging away since launch, and my Druid is up to level 52, and I’ve yet to push through the rest of the story (just started Act 4 and got my horsey). Still on Tier 1, and with the assorted updates, it feels like Blizzard has addressed some of the difficulty...

I like what they got going on here. It’s fun, its got some strong hooks for long term stories, and the animation really pops. I couldn’t help but chuckle when Ma Kent decided his basic Kryptonian suit (very new 52/Snyder-esque ) was bland and “needed something extra”.

FWIW, I still get Xbox’s Bumper/Trigger and Nintendo’s Z secondary buttons all mixed up. PlayStation’s Bumper 1 and 2 structure just clicked in my brain WAY better. At least developers are courteous enough to put the controls in the same spots between consoles.

Comparing it to Bumblebee, Rise of the Beasts is doing better, albeit, probably not as much as the extra $50 million might have warranted. Bumblebee, after 5 weekends (including multiple long weekends) didn’t even break $100 million. And that was a Christmas release pre-pandemic. Rise of the...

For further context: the film languished on Fox’s shelf until Angel Studios (founded by the people sued a decade ago by studios for their filtering/editing of Hollywood films of objectionable content and then selling them) picked up distribution rights from the film’s producers (after wrestling...

Some rumors to stew and speculate on... https://www.tfw2005.com/boards/threads/theory-rotb-mainline-cancelled-in-us.1249447/page-2#post-21414780 According to Silver Optimus (who generally doesn't spout nonsense), is claiming the reason Core Deluxe hasn't appeared in the US (aside from the...

Not just his own state, but his literal HOME. He said he lived 15 minutes from the rally location. Those are practically "his neighbors" booing him for not cow toeing to Trump. That's damned impressive, in some ways. Not that I think it'll do much to prevent him from being re-elected...

Some new concept art has been unleashed. In addition to some various takes on Unicron, some stuff that stood out to me: In one version, it seemed like the they might have used the remnants of the Maximal ship to try and revive Bumblebee in a CR chamber. Concept art of “off road Optimus Prime”...

Not a film, but a whole dang series of Harley, her puddin' and the Suicide Squad raising havoc in a fantasy setting https://www.gamespot.com/articles/harley-quinn-and-the-suicide-squad-wreck-havoc-in-an-original-anime-series-from-spy-x-family-studio/1100-6515651/

I’ll see it either tonight or tomorrow, but apparently a LOT of people aren’t jumping at the bit to see it. Estimated opening box office is about $60 million. Not bad…until you consider that’s a million less than Transformers, playing on nearly a THOUSAND more screens. “Out not with a bang...

Another “milestone” for the film will probably be its cratering drops this weekend. In addition to losing nearly 1/3 of its screens, the drop off for this weekend is projected to be 67% for a measly $5 million. The Flash is now playing in FEWER theaters than Transformers, in that film’s...

Hope you hardcore TCats fans been saving your pennies…

Toy news! Amazon has Weaponizer Wheeljack with Rhinox up for preorder, with a release date of August 1. Weaponizer Arcee is listed as AVAILABLE…if you order from the Amazon Global UK storefront (at double the price). Combiners Optimus Prime was spotted in Peru, meaning the figure is likely in...

Ah, hell. Hasbro’s making a big play for us oldies. Apparently, new toys are leaking at Target, including new Epic Scale Marvel figures, the 4” “good enough” figures largely meant “for kids”. With Disney/Marvel becoming more amicable to X-Men (double so since the Fox acquisition and...

That’s because we all OLD. OLD AS DIRT!

You mean since launch. I mean, seriously, people were talking up “Switch Pro” rumors before the damn system was even out. And since then, they just haven’t stopped. Did Nintendo, perhaps, pencil in some sort of mid-life upgrade? Wouldn’t surprise me. As nice as the OLED update was, I can’t...

Marcelo Matere posted some concept art for his work on the Beast Combiners Optimus Primal/Skullcruncher and Bumblebee/Snarlsaber https://www.instagram.com/marcelomatere/?hl=en It feels a bit sad that such awesome design work got “costed down” to what we ended up getting. I would STILL love to...

And nostalgia. I’m not sure Grimace has even been featured in marketing in almost 20 years. About the only people that remember the likes him and the Hamburgler are us old farts.
