I feel like we once had a week-long debate on this where I maintained that focusing on PC stuff distracted from making games better in other ways, while foolmo insisted that this was ridiculous and that they are two totally separate resource pools that are completely independent from each other.

"Whoops"

wtf is this article

its saying all kinds of things Jeff said in the video that.... Jeff didn't say.

Only bad players hide around though and never see action. This game highly incentives risk taking if you want to win, and your early game playing should focus more on landing in high density areas like the school and learning how to fight, or else you'll never be able to take the shots to win in the end game.

I think Cloak and Dagger looks interesting FWIW. It seems like it's aimed more at teens with a romance angle and stuff like that rather than typical superhero genre fair which is.... fine. It's good to diversify these shows instead of making them all the same. It's a big reason the movies are so good after all.

I'm not mad that he was emotional.... That could actually work. But he tells Light that he knows he's Kira exactly halfway through the movie with no plan of what he's going to do to catch him, or any plan in place to protect himself or Watari from whatever Kira can do. Then, because they've done no safeguards to protect Watari despite having a decent idea of what Kira needs to kill someone, Light predictably just goes after Watari.... and L gets mad like Light just stole his lunch money or something. Like of course Light killed Watari, did you forget this guy is a mass murderer?

Then L spends the second half of the movie practically in a haze of hate accomplishing nothing. The fact that he even searches the room at the end and finds a page doesn't make much sense... they just did it to set up the final scene they wanted of L potentially writing Light's name down.

If at any point it felt like Light had outwitted L to get ahold of Watari, or L had a plan in place to outwit Light that maybe didn't go well, this all could have been fine.... but there's none of that. This all just happens for no reason.



Also, I think if Watari had been killed in the anime a while before L got killed, L would have been pretty emotional about it. You can hear the falter in L's voice when he realizes somethings happened to Watari there.... but then he dies right after too. I doubt he woulda gone on a rampage like this movie L but he woulda made it personal for sure.

Mia: I think people might disagree with me here but I actually like Mia. She's the sole possible bright spot in this movie. Unlike the other 5 characters, she is not from the anime. She's certainly not Misa. An original character! She's some girl that Light tells about the Death Note (which was one of his many stupid fucking ideas) and the idea of killing all these bad guys makes her hot, so they fall in love or something. The romance itself is really bad, and for some reason the romance is why they decide to go on a fucking killing spree. This is another reason why Light is so dumb... the whole "LETS BE GOD AND KILL THE BAD GUYS" idea comes out of them being together rather than actual thought or belief that he has. It's really weird.

But as the killing starts going, we see her *actually* thinking about what they are doing and what they can accomplish. What they are doing this for. And when shit starts going bad, she's the one coming up with solutions on how to deal with it (let's kill all the FBI agents tailing everyone, instead of just the one tailing you!) Light is a whiny bitch and not committed to what they are doing so he won't do it, but she steps up. She even comes up with a plan to double cross him!

In my opinion, this girl was a bad bitch and the movie should have ended with her cutting Light out for being weak, and winning over L. That would have made me actually respect this movie a little.

Instead, she get gets caught up in all of the bad writing and has to die for it. A real shame. The only reason this happened is because the writers don't actually realize that they didn't get Light and L right, and think that they have to push those two into being the spotlight. I guess they just weren't self aware enough to realize what they had in front of them.

This movie really shouldn't have been about Light. This should have just been about some other kid who gets the Death Note and tries using it. It's completely conceivable in the Death Note for this to happen. It can even still be Ryuk! Instead, they tied themselves to a story that they just didn't know how to tell...

I think even if they did try to tell an original story, it still would have been bad, since everything in this movie is incompetent. It's not just that they didn't get the characters or scenes right. They just don't know how to write or direct. But still, an original story might have been worth some respect. This was absolute garbage.


RIP Mia.

Quick character recap:

Dad: He's functional I guess. Performance was not very good, but he worked. If the movie was good he wouldn't have really brought it down.

Watari: Also functional. He wasn't particularly interesting or entertaining, but he served his purpose.

Ryuk: Really cool aesthetic and voice. Personality is a little weird. I enjoyed seeing him in the background at times chuckling at what was happening - that's classic Ryuk.. His first scene in the classroom where he tells Light what to do didn't feel right at all. Ryuk pushing Light into doing anything feels wrong, and then he had a lot of awkward dialogue doing a bunch of exposition right after that first killing. He also keeps trying to tell Light to give up the notebook for some reason... but since Light is actually fucking awful maybe he just wanted out of this movie as much as I did. Ryuk was pretty decent.

L: L was just really bad. I thought he might turn out interesting at first, but despite the show cosntantly trying to make me believe L was clever, he never actually does anything clever. The way he makes connections don't really make sense, and confronting Light halfway through the movie and accusing him of being Kira was dumb as hell. I thought maybe he was trying to corner Light or push him into doing something... but he didnt. He has no plan and even shows his face... and then gets mad when Light targets Watari? This just wasn't L. They did make some attempt at doing his mannerisms which I appreciated, but the camera work just didn't capture it properly so it didn't work.

Light: Light is awful. He doesn't ever actually look like he wants to be doing what they are doing or that he even believes the things they are saying. He's just this annoying fucking kid who gets pushed along by the plot and starts writing names in the book because the movie demands that he does it. He never really understands anything that's going on, and they shoehorned in that scheme at the end to make him seem smart like anime Light, but he's really just as dumb as L is. His romance is really bad.

okay i finished the movie

it's really bad in basically every possible way. the writers of this movie basically did not understand the characters they were trying to portray and certainly did not know how to execute them properly.

like the public interview L gives where he announces he coming after Kira is possibly one of my favourite scenes in all of anime, and they did it in this movie. But they completely missed why it was such a great scene. In the anime, L comes on screen and challenges Kira to kill him. Kira obliges and kills him. L reveals this to be a trick and the guy Kira killed was a test to see if he could kill him. L discovers that Kira can kill someone upon first seeing them and learning their name... and also that Kira is in the region that this was broadcasted to since this wasn't sent out worldwide. He announces he will catch Kira, and he challenges Kira to kill him again (with his face hidden and through a voice modulator). When it doesn't happen, he ends the interview.

In the movie, he physically appears and announces he will catch Kira and challenges Kira to kill him. When it doesn't happen, he ends the interview.

The reason this was such a gripping and fun scene was because L actually outwitted Kira. Kira fell right into his trap, and L gained information because of it. He calls Kira out and declares he'll catch him, but that's not the heart of the scene. The movie just does that part and thinks that it's accomplished something. But it doesn't. It's empty. In fact, it's stupid, since L is putting himself at risk for no reason and gains no information by appearing like he does in the movie.

It's okay for an adaptation like this to not accomplish the same things that the original might have... but it needs to accomplish SOMETHING. This just took out the heart of a scene and left it there was a hollow shell. Which basically summarizes everything else this movie did.

The Ubercharge works well with the classes in TF2 but it's not the greatest thing in the world. I wouldn't want to see it the way it is in Overwatch. Ana's ult is already a better adaptation for this game (applying it feels awful though)

What a strange and pointless argument tazzyboy is making....

Reinhardt and Dva both nullify enemy damage, they just do it in slightly different ways (which is good for diversity). Nerfing Dva's nullify damage ability hurts her ability to reduce taken damage by her team (which is the point of tanking). So she's objectively less of a tank than before.

It's not that he's dead, it's that he gave up his power to give her a chance, but now she's alone in this isolated frozen environment where she has very little chance of survival. i think it works quite well


the problem with this cinematic is that she just walks out of there and apparently is going to be fine. if her mission climbing the tower helped this in some way, it would be better.... but if she could just walk out the whole time then what were the stakes?

I have twelve stations favorited on my car radio. I can flip through them and almost always find at least one playing that song.

Either that's a regional thing, or it says something about our taste in music. I can scarcely think of a non-English song that would be played on the radio in this area anywhere outside of the stations devoted to Spanish music, of which there aren't many.

You're aware there's a Justin Bieber cover of the song right? Noone gives a fuck if it's partly spanish

Here's the clip.

It's 100% troll until the very last second, which is what makes some people believe it was genuine.

Edit: Personally, I'm still sticking with troll.

No, this is what i mean, I watched that clip and thought he was just trolling. It's when I watched the full video for the minute after and saw that kinda awkward regret smile when he says next card Happy Ghoul that made me believe it might be real. Like that part doesn't feel like acting, it looks like genuine "oh shit did I really do that?? i am in so much trouble" going on inside his head.
