What?!? How daaaaaaare you use the accepted definition of a word! How daaaaare you use a word in the same way that over a billion English speakers on the planet use it! You're supposed to use that word the way that this one person on this one forum defines it as. Because he's the "arbiter of language", not the dictionary! Do I really need to add /s?

Perhaps I should clarify that I have never read the books. So my impression of James Bond is entirely from the movies. It seems like that makes a difference. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of the Bond movie audience has never read the books either. So if Amazon gives Bond the "Power of maaaaaany" make over and tries to make him into a secretly villainous Jedi or a not so villainous Sith, they're going to lose money on those movies just like they've lost money on the last couple of series they've done that got unceremoniously canceled. That's certainly possible. Or, it's possible that he just uses the women he encounters in order to complete his mission. Either way, audiences love this bad-ass, extremely charismatic man who kills men and seduces women. That's the formula that has made a ton of money for the Bond franchise over the last 70 years. And that's the formula that's made James Bond as famous as Captain Kirk, Darth Vader and Elvis. If Amazon screws that up it'll be yet another sure money making IP that Amazon has lost money on due to their own incompetence.

Having watched all of the Bond movies, most of them when they originally came out in theaters, I vehemently disagree with your assertion that he's a sociopath or a misogynist. First, he appears to care a great deal about the people of his country, so much so that he risks his life on a daily basis to protect them. Sociopaths, by definition, lack empathy and the capacity to care about others. Also, he exhibits none of the anger management issues typical of sociopaths. As for misogynist. Well, people now days throw that word around at the drop of a hat. Men now days get accused of misogyny for simply looking in the general direction of a woman. So yeah. I disagree with your entire premise and stand by what I said. James Bond is a hero, perhaps a morally gray one, but a hero nonetheless, and I disagree with trying to rewrite him as Hanibal Lector in a tuxedo.

I don't understand the urge that so many folks have now days to turn heroes into villains. Bond's not a villain, he's never been portrayed as a villain, and he should not be rewritten as such just because you're mad about some of the stupid things Ian Flemming wrote nearly a century ago.

When I saw the headline this morning I didn't have time to read the article, but my first thought was the exact same as yours. I really hope that they'll keep the Bond franchise true to the original, instead of trying to put a "current year" spin on it. Thanks for posting this.

The character who ended up becoming my main on the retail servers was an Invul/EM Tanker. And it was the first character I recreated on Homecoming. I love the combo. Will you burn down entire groups of enemies as quickly as /Fire would? No. But you can drop a single boss, or even EB, a lot faster than /Fire or even /SS can. More importantly, the pom-poms of death are just fun to play with.

Spoiler FREE review:

Why not? I have so much info that I could add to it, with screenshots and everything! 😄

I have list of UI settings that I import to all of my characters via a macro. I seem to remember that I did something like reduce the overall UI scale to 90%, and then used a specific setting to increase the size of just the mission text window to like 150%. This keeps the UI pretty small and still lets me read mission text even if I don't have my glasses on.

He understands. He's deliberately trolling you for his own entertainment.

Gatekeeping is not a thing that happens, or that can happen, on this forum. We do not have the ability to prevent the developers from seeing your suggestion thread. We do not have the ability to prevent the developers from implementing your suggestion should they choose to do so. Either of those would be an actual example of gatekeeping, but since neither of those are possible then gatekeeping is also not possible. People disagreeing with your suggestion is not gatekeeping. In fact, a moderator actually posted that disagreeing with suggestions is specifically allowed. Yes it is. However, this is also a forum. If you're upset that people are responding to your post then I don't think you understand the purpose behind a forum. None of us are responsible for the 'tone of voice' that you hear in your own head when you read our posts. If it helps the 'tone of voice' that you should hear when you read my post should sound like Mr. Spock. However, if the past is any indication, the 'tone of voice' that you'll actually hear when you read my post probably sounds a lot more like R. Lee Ermey. And that's not my fault. I am not responsible for how the voices in your own head sound, or for what they say. That's entirely on you.

IGN gave it a whole 2.

In particular I'd like some clarification on exactly who #3 is referring to.

I am genuinely sorry that you feel this is necessary, Snarky. I don't always agree with you, but when I do it's because you're right. Take care.

Agreed. This is certainly the solution that I'd recommend. This bullying claim makes me laugh though. People have said for years now "City of Heroes has the best community EVAR!" But, when it's convenient for them, they'll happily claim "We have to fix this or people will be bullied." Both can't be true, either we have the best community ever or we have a bunch of bullies who will be mean to their fellow players for various reasons. So which one is it?

Sorry, I didn't see your post earlier. Just to be clear, you do not need to have, or make, a Playstation account if you're going to play Helldivers 2 on PC. No updates or changes, unfortunately. You still cannot buy Helldivers 2 in countries where you cannot make a PSN account, but if you bought it before the restriction you're still able to play it.

Ok. Well, whatever we do let's not fix that problem by allowing people to type a color code into a small box because "we don't discuss other servers or what they do!" If it'll help maybe we could suggest that the Council of Thirteen also place a big Yellow Ring around it. They seem to love adding yellow rings to stuff.

I am deuteranopic (a type of red/green color blindness) and matching colors on different costume pieces, or different powers, by simply typing in 255,241,80 (or #FFF150) is a lot easier than trying to look at different palates and then trying to figure out which colors are closest to other colors. And simply saying 4 down and 3 over often doesn't work in CoH because often times the color palates have a different selection of colors for no apparent reason. Oh but we can't have an RGB option because another private server has one. Ok, whatever.

Oh, I'm fairly certain that this film is going to end up in the DEI dumpster fire, right alongside most recent movie releases.

I would love for this to happen. I have a couple of questions that I'd like to ask and I'm sure that I'd enjoy reading other peoples' questions and the answers as well. I also think it'd be a real benefit to the community to get to know a little bit about the thoughts/plans/experiences of the current Homecoming team.

Isn't that the case with all of his posts?

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Ah, ok. See I had seen this article where Zack says the baby was Superman's. But I've also seen a lot of articles that confirm what you were saying as well. Sorry, I was wrong when I said you were trying to fool me. Rumored plans aside, it's unfortunate that we'll never see the rest of that storyline.

Wait, what?!? Ok, I just did a bit of research and saw that Zack Snyder has confirmed that Lois was pregnant with Superman's child in Justice League. It's not nice to try to fool the Falcon. 😁
