$497,103,073 last I checked. Prepare for the Kotaku articles!

In a way we, the audience have only ourselves to blame. We're all so obsessed with existing properties/franchises that we're reluctant to give new IPs a chance. There's a reason the big studios/networks pump out generic 'insert Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Harry Potter' movies. It's because they're...

I'm quite sure the Carrack will make it to the semi-finals at the very least. Surprised the 890J isn't on the list.

I think you're preaching to the choir. Like I said, Tolkien's a product of his age and even then he was far better educated than the typical Englishman of his time. I actually agree with you (I think). I'm a bit peeved about folks who go off about Rings of Power being 'Woke' due to casting...

Yeah the dwarves were great. As far as the other characters go, I kinda like this show’s take on Elrond. More scholar/diplomat/herald than warrior….at least at this point of his life. Galadriel on the other hand has been absolutely annoying.

Well I have a Carrack and nary a 400i in sight so Carrack it is!

Carrack is Love, Carrack is Life.

Race is one of those subjects that the Tolkienverse can't seem to shake. There were certainly darker skinned people in that World (Haradrim and the Easterlings) but they were the villains. Meanwhile the good guys were almost always 'fair and tall' (Elves, Dúnedain, etc). I don't think Tolkien...

Well it's typical 'Heroes Journey' stuff. I think they took a look at the Silmarillion and said...."It's boring, let's do our own shit" to well....mixed results. I'm willing to watch a couple more episodes because I'm a fan of the franchise and because I have colleagues who worked on it...

Yeah I'll give it a punt since I'm a fan of both the books and the original movies but yeah....the writing and pacing is kinda all over the place.

So...err anybody watched this yet? Definitely deviates from whatever source material but gosh are the production values top notch. Tis an expensive production.

You can't own Stormwals or Jumpgates! That's impossible, Sir! This guy's a phony!

That's badass. It's like something a shadowy billionaire type in the Star Citizen world would fly around in. Fully customized with better weapons and defensive features than the stock model of course. Think the Illusive Man from Mass Effect.

Pyro for sure….what with it supposedly coming out in the last quarter or early first next year? Server Meshing is what I’m personally most interested about since the game is dead in the water without it. SQ42 stuff would be a bonus. They told me I’ll be able to answer the call in 2016. At this...

Yeah good. I’m back in Oregon visiting my wife’s family. If that whole compulsory $180 PCR testing was still a thing….she would have needed to drag me kicking and screaming across the border. That money’s for internet spaceships!

Yeah the antigen test is sadly not the best. The PCR is what I’ve been getting at work. Unless you’re getting it at work or whatever it’s, unfortunately, prohibitively expensive. When I flew out of LAX last year, I had to pay for mine and it was $180. Yikes.

So....CIG thinks they messed up somewhere and gave too much for the Stipend. Expect Space IRS to claw it back. Quick! Spend all your UEC!

Perhaps it's just me but I don't think this is the best venue for this often contentious topic. We're primarily a gaming community after all. I mean..the COVID thread was kind of a one off due to the extraordinary circumstances around it...we should leave it at that.

Hrrrnnnggghh.
