Every year I get 1 month of shudder for October. While we game, I stream movies for everyone else so what are my must see movies on the platform!
Good movies are good, but MST3K-ing terrible movies is great too!
Thanks for any suggestions! Series are fine too, but not everyone is in Discord every time I'm streaming so movies work better.
I'm at the stage where I'm farming isos and I have a few of these and it made me think....what happens if I put one in every slot? Do enemies get stunned for 20 seconds?
Would that work? I feel like I don't have enough to notice if I were to test it but someone must have tried it lol.
Thanks!
First off, absolutely loving this game just like I loved 1&2 back in the day. Actually with it on sale I think I'm going to buy my friend some copies.
Anyway, I'm about halfway through Superior and decided that I needed some more AEP so I started leveling up more guys.
My main squad was wolverine, Phoenix, Doom and blade but I am loving this team.
I feel like it's really active so I'll swap to Jean to drop cleansing flames, then swap to cable and drop his gravity bomb and the autonomous gun, and then depending on the enemy I'll either swap to wolverine or Cyclops while trying to keep up wolverines primal rage. And every time the cleansing flame falls off, I start the cycle over again.
I also absolutely love the interaction between tech shield and anything it synergizes with because I get the offense and the defense and with cleansing flame it basically costs 0 energy.
I'll prioritize using wolverine for close range and then if guys are all spread out I'll use Cyclops for eyes wide Open or the ricochet.
I feel like it's a wow DPS rotation and I'm really enjoying it.
For the people with 10 million hours played, how do you think this will fare in ultimate and nightmare?
* Note: I'm sure that most any team can beat it but I'm curious for some feedback about this squad and I just want to use characters that I think are cool.
Doom is pretty much my favorite character and all the fiction, I love all of the mutants that are in this game (why no beast wtf Nintendo?!) and blade and cable were my favorite characters in 1+2. If I had a 5th team slot it would either be magneto (who was right) or doom
Thanks!
Many of us have been playing for 25+ years.
We started as dumb kids, we read things how we did at the time.
We're adults now, we are better at reading.
Despite that, how do you pronounce "Travincal"?
I still say "tra-vin-sial"
Yeah so I played through the main campaign on whatever the mid difficulty is called. I rushed through as much as possible without ignoring the story and things like that because I wanted DOOM.
Top 10 characters in all of fiction for me.
So I got there, beat the doom campaign and put him on. Then went "how do I get the x men as well as blade and co. Took 2 seconds, should've done that earlier.
Then I equipped Jean to my team.
Used her energy regen ability and holy shit.
There are two epochs in my MUA journey.
BJ - Before Jean
and
AJ - After Jean where I spam my synergy abilities nonstop lol
I can't imagine any of my team builds not having her on it moving forward.
Anyone else that gives some kind of broken team buff like her? I did like Sue Storm's defensive thing, let me cheese the celestial fight where he slams his hammer down and 1 shots my team. Did almost nothing after I brought her!
I'll try not to ramble....a challenge for me.
I played the hell out of 1 & 2, couch coop with friends it was a glorious experience and even my friends who couldn't care less about comics would grab a controller.
I loved these games.
Fast forward almost 20 years and I can't actually remember more than just having a good time with the games.
Does anyone have a good review of the games I can watch? No IGN slop where even the worst games are 7/10 and you can't even tell if they played the game.
I got a Switch 2 as the first console I've owned since my Xbox 360 and didn't realize MUA3 was on it!
I generally enjoy Yahtzee's game reviews but he doesn't have one on this and RLM for movie reviews if that gives any perspective into the kind of reviews I like.
I love beat em' ups, I love online coop with friends so this feels right up my alley but I've been pretty disappointed with some of the genre as of late. Cosmic Invasion is fine, perfectly serviceable but something feels missing. The power rangers one I was REALLY hyped for but ended up refunding it on steam almost immediately. The Ninja Turtles games are always stellar with Splintered Fate and Shredders Revenge being great new entries.
I don't usually scrutinize a game this much but it's a big investment. $70 game with $20 DLC and I'll be recommending it to several friends and probably buying a copy or two for them (we trade games all the time).
tl;dr - Send me some reviews of the game from creators whose voice you trust or feel free to write/link reviews.
Edit: Thanks all so much, I bought the game + xpac and can't wait to go ham!
After Burt Reynolds' Smokey and the Bandit became a blockbuster in 1977, Clint Eastwood made a similar rough n' tumble action-comedy named Every Which Way But Loose, where his sidekick was played by an orangutan. In response, Reynolds, went into Eastwood's zone and made Sharky's Machine, a rough n' tough cop drama set in Atlanta.
It has a typical plot and atmosphere that most cop dramas made back then have. It is heavily inspired by the noir classic Laura (1944). But what saves it from being yet another potboiler is Reynolds's direction as well as the decision to include several eccentric character moments in the finished film. I have to admire Reynolds's decision to keep all those quirky interactions and repartee between the characters in the finished film, because usually such scenes end up on the cutting room floor due to pressure from the studio.
The film has a strong cast to do justice to the writing : Charles Durning, Brian Keith, Bernie Casey, Richard Libertini - who play members of the titular "Sharky's machine". Rachel Ward makes a good impression in her first big break. The cherry on the cake is the two villains played by Vittorio Gassman and Henry Silva. Silva plays a garden variety psycho maniac, but he is always fun to watch in such roles. And Gassman is incredible as a slimy, corrupt and thoroughly repugnant character who you want to be brought down.
>!The second half has a subplot of the mob going after cops in a vendetta, which I like to think of as a precursor to the third act of Lethal Weapon 2.!<
This film set a stunt record when legendary daredevil stuntman Dar Robinson fell over 200 feet through a plate glass window, setting a record for the highest wireless free fall jump from a building in a film.
So, inc conclusion, if you wish to see Burt Reynolds out of his usual comedy zone, and a good one, you could give this one a try.
I really like the Baron Geddon fight, especially with my Rag team where I can pretty much carry anyone.
I do a bunch of the raid fights on repeat when I'm laying down watching something at the end of the night, and I usually don't have to wait more than a minute or two to find someone.
I still love:
Baron with my Rag team
Gehennas & Shazzrah with my Onu Gargoyle team
Magmadar with my Thalnos Starfall/Eclipse team
Garr with my Molten Giant/Cenarius team
And Rag with my Jaina Eclipsecute team
Sorry if you need the other two, I mostly leave them be lol.
I know everyone in this community was as bummed as I was when we heard they were putting Rumble into maintenance mode. I don't think it's hard to say it's one of the best, and especially one of the most unique, mobile games ever made.
It's nice to see people are still having fun with it.
I only wish every single game ever had this level of insights.
Seriously, how many times are you playing a game where you thought:
"oh shit, how much damage did this do?"
"Who or what benefits more from crit?"
"Which item is giving the most healing?"
The fact that I can access any and all menus, items, descriptions, meters, etc. at nearly anytime puts this game a cut above the rest. Allows for so much creativity in builds, interactions to try, combos, and the need to tab out to google shit.
I can go back and look at previous runs and see every item and who it was equipped to!
That I can even click deeper on anything to get a full description! Not everything in every game works the same even if it seems obvious.
I wish literally every game had this and I give a million points to the devs for letting us see it all.
(I tagged as 'request for the devs' just so I could gush to them)
Vidalia onion with EVOO, salt and pepper, on toasted sourdough bread with Duke's mayo.
Because they're fucking amazing.
Pepperoncini aoli, artichoke spread, creamy balsamic, long hot aoli (lots of aolis), etc.
OK good, after a quick google the hot pepper relish haogie spread we all know and love WAS created or at least iterated here.
What are the best random crazy delicious hoagie spreads that you've had in the city?
Went on to endless on a fun run where I was getting the $2k life insurance achievement on tier 1.
Even got explosive innards like 40 items before I got willing flesh because the 1 run death cooldown is great. Explosive innards does so much damage, I really enjoy it.
Then on endless especially willing flesh proc'd at the best times, which was awesome to see 20-30 explosions then a full zombie res.
This is a petty post made to spite some asshat who made a bunch of posts whining about these two relics.
This awesome community then simply told him he was just having bad luck, it happens.
He then proceeded to be a petulant child and rudely told the people trying to share tips, experiences, and info they were all wrong.
Feel free to post your best zombie runs here!

Edit: OH, why the hell didn't I ask this? I really fell in love with this game but can't seem to find clones or similar games on Steam. Any suggestions on other games like this since I enjoyed it so much?
Vir is an awesome character, and I could go on about that, but I had a different thought during this scene:
Vir is letting his Centauri side show.
It's easy to see him as the moral counterpoint to Londo especially, but also to the Centauri as a whole. However, when he's alone with Mr. Morden, one of the first things he tells him is that what he really wants in life is to see his head on a spike and to wave at him just like this.
What's interesting is that Vir is also still shaken by having to deliver the final blow to the mad Emperor Cartagia. Really, it's all the death that finally catches up with him, Cartagia is just the last straw.
And yet, when he finally sees Mr. Morden's head on a pike, there is absolutely no horror or regret. Vir lets his Centauri side out, gives him the promised wave, and has a nice, genuine smile on his face.
It's just a fun little moment in his character arc for me. Vir can reject so much of what the Centauri have become without somehow ceasing to be Centauri.
The development of all the characters in this show, and the individual journeys they go on from beginning to end, is just incredible.
I miss this kind of depth in my sci-fi, and that's really why I keep coming back to incredible shows like B5, Farscape, BSG, SG-1, etc. On any rewatch, I can gain some new insight into something, or laugh for an entirely new reason because it's my third time through and I really know these characters.
I can't think of too many recent sci-fi shows that give me that, which is crazy considering just how much content is released all the time.
And I'm NOT saying there are none. Foundation, For All Mankind (Hi Bob), and The Expanse are amazing, and I've rewatched all three. Go watch these if you haven't yet. Seriously.
I know that it's all the same kitchen and they have multiple names probably for online delivery but I don't care because the quality is amazing and the prices are fair.
This is one of my favorite bbq spots in the city.
I love getting their breakfast sandwiches in wrap form because they load them up nice and heavy. They also offer goat cheese as an option which is fire with smoked meats. Homemade sauces and just love put into their food.
Can't recommend enough, make sure to get their hash brown nuggets. Seasoned and fried to perfection, very salty but in a good way.
So if I put something like a general, lich, or time dude at the bottom and have say a necro or quantum does it apply their "below" buff to the summons?
i.e. if I have the general at the bottom would it make the skeletons taunt or would it just do nothing.
Thanks!
I'm sure everyone has their own loved dudes and items but I wonder what others always grab?
For me it's a mix:
The items that give 1.5-8 seconds of defense/attack
Living hand - Oh yeah, free skeles that build over time
Ritual Dagger - I love this item, especially for the gnats or whatever they are
Chance for double money relic
caboose/captains hat
Loaded dice and mobius strip (only one) I really like these early because you never know when you'll need some extra items and rerolls
I know I listed a bunch but I'm curious what other's see in the first few relics and go "hell yeah!"
Edit: FFS, I guess I also want to add what item you NEVER get until the last income and store at 95. I don't think I've EVER gotten the Bard's Overcharge Amp before then. Sure, he's not bad without it but compared to what he is with it I don't even know why I ever pick him up!
I just had so much fun with this build so I had to share.
Paladin, Explorer, Vampire, Assassin, and Viking (who was mostly useless funny enough)
I was just trying to make a build around what I was given and I felt like it was awkward until I picked up the assassin
My squad was constantly at 40%+ toughness, high all the other defensives but I knew even when I stack those they had diminishing returns.
So with the assassin, explorer, and the vampire I had the enemies at something like 50% damage reduction, with around 20% miss chance (I think). On top of that there is the damage redirection from the paladin which doesn't have any diminishing return or anything so that's another raw 30% damage reduction.
I stopped taking any damage pretty early in the game.
Thank GOD I got a nuke at 99 because the last 10 bosses would've been pretty slow otherwise. However, it was almost guaranteed to go off. I had 2 go off on the Killipede.
Anyway, I'm newer to the game and have been having a lot of fun so I wanted to share this build. Would this work in tier 3? I'm did 100% of tier 1 before I moved on to 2, and will do the same before 3
Just wanted to share what their HP looked like at the end because this was most fights
I am having a LOT of fun with this game, I love games where I can make weird builds work. Sure I know that there are definitely some "S Tier Units" like with anything but it was fun using what I think are some less desirable dudes.
