I don't think I've played more than 1 hour across all Halo games, so my opinion is just about the show and I find it OK. Season 2 has been mostly better than season 1. That being said, your opinion is the first completely positive comment from a gamer I've seen. (unless you're being entirely sarcastic. Poe's Law?)

Masters of the Air (new WWII AppleTV series) [SPOILERS]
Corvinus85 replied to Corvinus85's topic in Entertainment
A strong finale. While overall, it wasn't as good as Band of Brothers (nothing is though), I enjoyed the show. -

Upcoming TV shows/Movies: A Post-Strike World
Corvinus85 replied to Corvinus85's topic in Entertainment
Still needs Overse, Arada's partner. (And Volescu, but he was the most minor of the side characters out of the group and doesn't appear again). Overse has a bigger role in Network Effect. -
Masters of the Air (new WWII AppleTV series) [SPOILERS]
Corvinus85 replied to Corvinus85's topic in Entertainment
The latest episode disappointed me in that it didn't follow through on the setup of the previous episode - the Allies' plan to destroy the Luftwaffe prior to the invasion to secure air superiority. It strongly implied that the bombers were going to continue to have a tough time as they were going to be the bait while the P-51s would destroy the enemy. Instead it skips to D-Day, and even that is quickly glossed over. We never really saw D-Day from aviators' perspective in other media afaik. A missed opportunity here. The only good P-51 action was the 4 Red Tails going against ground targets in southern France. -
Napoleon took Moscow and got him nothing. The Nazis besieged it and got nothing. And with crazy dreaming-of-the-glory-days Putin in charge, it would be another history repeat. The guy would nuke Moscow if it fell in enemy hands.

Watch, Watched, Watching: Watching Severance and working for Lumon
Corvinus85 replied to Veltigar's topic in Entertainment
I re-watched Highlander after many years. I forgot how ridiculously hilarious this movie can be. And I must have watched a different cut this time around, because I don't recall the WW2 scene. I'm sure the Henry Cavill remake is going to be less campy, but I hope there will still be some humor in it. -
Oppenheimer has pretty much cleaned house. 7 Oscars. Good for Nolan that he finally got one and I'm happy for Murphy and Stone.

The Buntaro scene was good. The fight in the forest was a bit static, as you could see extras in the background just staring at the main actors without doing anything. The fight choreography, when focused on a few characters, has been good. I liked the scene with Yabushige and the bandits. He and his men are really efficient in killing the unsuspecting bandits.

Dune part 2: the spoilers must flow (Spoilers for the movies)
Corvinus85 replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
This baron is clearly fatter than the Lynch one. He's just as evil and and just as scheming. It's just that he isn't outwardly unhinged. -
US politics - Yes country for old men

I just watched segments of Katie Britt's rebuttal to Biden's state of the union and I can only conclude that she was really auditioning for the next Red Alert game cutscenes. -
Releasing a game about surviving an ice age in the middle of summer. Classic.

I was slightly annoyed, too, but in case there won't be a season 2, it now becomes a matter of interpretation. -

Finished Mr. & Mrs. Smith. The last 2 episodes really elevated the show and both leads gave excellent performances. The end scene had a bold open end. -
Dune part 2: the spoilers must flow (Spoilers for the movies)
Corvinus85 replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
One of those comments in the Reddit thread I think explains it well. As @Deadlines? What Deadlines? said the heighliner was in both spots in space at the same time. We don't actually see the process of folding space, we see the end of it only. I'm sure most people may have imagined that process to be near instantaneous, but maybe Villeneuve decided it would be slower. And the small ship carrying the Reverend Mother is only seen existing the heighliner, not passing through it. -

Corvinus85 replied to Kalbear's topic in Entertainment
I don't know how Villenueve intended to show the folding of space. But even if stargates were used, someone still needed to set them up and then use them without computers. So "navigators" would still be needed. However the dialogue in Part 1 clearly indicates the Spacing Guild was a thing. Not sure why they were thrown to the side in Part 2.
