It must be quite a shock to be right after having been wrong so very, very often, Murs. 

Funny, I've seen a few different people say that season 2 didn't impress them as much.  Granted, L's plotline was problematic and there were some pacing and delivery problems with it.  Yet, I don't know if it is just rose-colored glasses or what, but I find myself remembering it very fondly.  I need to go back and re-watch it.

I don't want to brag.... but little Suzie's singalong was probably the best thing ever done on Netflix period.

Oh my god yes! I loved Suzy-poo's and Dusty-bun's duet!

Also, what a fantastic season. Season two left me a bit underwhelmed. But, three? It really rivals season one. It definitely brought back that Goonies feel.

For my money, this show is one of the greatest works of fiction of the last decade.

For once we agree on something, Benton. Hmmm...I feel strange.

I might get around to watching Stranger Things at some point. Unfortunately, it's not likely to be for quite some time, as I have a lot of stuff to get caught up to.

Just saw it and caught up on spoiler tags.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I think they explained the issue with the Spider Sense just fine. The reason it's not going at the start of the film is because he's exhausted, conflicted about Tony's death (presumably the second he's now failed to save) and everyone wanting him to become the new Iron Man when, really, he's a kid and that's way too much to expect from him. Kid literally died, came back to life, and saw his surrogate father figure die within (from his point of view) the span of a single day. As he says repeatedly, he needs a vacation... and gets pulled into "Fury" nonsense instead, with even more pressure being placed on him in the process.

The Fury thing wasn't that great a shock to me. The whole dynamic with Fury just seemed off the entire film. He was straight up a jerk to Peter (whereas I was expecting something more akin to either USM the comic or the cartoon, with Fury as a mentor/father figure), was very petulant about both the door thing and Peter ghosting him, was WAY too trusting of Beck, etc. Him being Talos makes sense, and also allows them to do the whole "Fury isn't always actually Fury" thing we saw in the comics with LMDs.

Speaking of, I feel I should bring up that Beck isn't his real name, since I know someone mentioned "Well how didn't SHIELD know who this guy is?" During that scene where the crew is celebrating, a mention is made that someone came up with the Quentin Beck name as well as the dimension backstory. Given that it's actually Talos and he's working with a bare-bones post SHIELD team, I'm not shocked that was enough to throw them off the scent temporarily.

The "smaller Dalek" is in this folder. It is supposed to be the equivalent of 1.5 meters tall. I also put v2 of that previous scope in there. I can't run it in game; would you check to see if I fixed the bounding box?

Sounds / Voices / Re: Soundtrack for the DCUG

« Last post by Panther_Gunn on July 14, 2019, 12:31:08 AM »

I think for voices I gave Blok Order, Brainy Mentor, and Validus the Wendigo pack (Manbull could always do in a pinch).  I've always thought Wildfire should be some kind of synthesized voice, and maybe something similar for Tharok.  Depending on the lines the packs have (since I haven't played with them in quite a while) I think Zetor had something like Male Sinister, or Spooky, or Necromancer that could be good for Pulsar and Time Trapper.

The rest, ???  I ended up using the more Neutral ones a lot, as I never felt like any others I had fit very well.

Requests for Skins and Meshes / Re: Help Update the DCUG!

« Last post by BentonGrey on July 13, 2019, 10:57:24 PM »

Hey guys, I've got something weird going on.  I've got VX_Brainiac_5, and he works fine in game and in CTool.  However, he's a bit dark, as happens with  meshes occassionally, so I need to brighten his light values.  However, when I try to load him in Nifskope, it gives me an error message and won't load him properly.  Anyone willing to look at their copy and see if they can load him in Nifskope, maybe brighten him up for me?

:EDIT: Apparently it's a bunch of my VX meshes, including VX_Male, Tyroc, a Cosmic boy skope, and Lightning Lad.  Fortunately, I only need Brainy, Tyroc, and Lightning Lad brightened.
