I hope if Marvel vs Capcom 4 is a reality they use every alternate version of Marvel's superheroes that race, genderswaps, or both just to piss people off

I ended up fainting the morning after Thanksgiving around 4am in my bathroom; I fell through my shower glass door and made it open in a way it shouldn't be able to---both my gf and I are surprised nothing broke. She found me there a few minutes after it happened unconscious. Shit got me scared that I have bad blood pressure. I stay really healthy and active for a 23 year old: black belt in Tae-Kwon-Do, boxed in college and now lift 5 days a week but my diet could have too much sodium in it.

Going to get checked out this upcoming week. Now for the last ~48 hours I've been feeling so dizzy and lightheaded. I felt good this morning and tried going to the gym for leg day but after some front and back squats I had to call it quits.

I'm hoping tomorrow morning I feel better for chest day.

BCT and GirlGAF both have members down. That's concerning. Take care of yourself.

I did, I did. Made my friends stay, too. Was easily my favourite film watched this year, I'd say. I went in blind outside of listening to the soundtrack, really enjoyed it. Good mesh of morals and dreams and doing the right thing/selflessness.
I was impressed with Maui's return, figured Moana would give the heart back herself 'cause she seemed hella capable that second time around.
Was very feel good. 100% a bonus to see people of colour be the whole film.

Also, other people watching the film was very diverse in comparison to other minority-driven flicks. Was nice.

The best part was that with the exception of the chicken, all the characters were people of color too. It was one of those things that you could tell they tried really hard to get right; not unlike how they tried really hard with Luke Cage. They took no less than three trips to Polynesia to insure accuracy: one for scenery and outfits, one for music, and one for learning about the people. Hell, they even formed an Oceanic Trust basically to fact check the movie. Moana is easily my fave of 2016. This made me so fukcing happy.

Disney is absolutely killing it right now. I love that Gigantic is taking place in Spain even though it's Jack and the Beanstalk. I'm also really interested in what they do with WIR2 since it's going to be dealing with the internet and WDAS has already shown a predilection for social commentary a la Zootopia.









Guys, this may be a surprise, but I kinda love Disney.

Man these bottom ads for neogaf is tabloid as fuck, the top ones at least makes sense 70% of the time. The bottom ads could double for covers of The Globe, Breitbart or a episode of Maury

The fact that you think Cars is a good movie is testament to this.

Nigga don't make shit up. I think Cars and A Bug's Life are bottom tier Pixar; the only thing I've ever said nice about Cars is that Cars 3 has a fantastic teaser (cause it does). WDAS >>> Pixar anyway.

I actually am mostly apathetic to Pixar. I don't care about the Finding duology, Bug's Life and Cars are meh, Ratattoie is just fine, Toy Story 1-3 is great, Incredibles is excellent, Brave is only memorable because Merida is an official princess. Inside Out is fantastic, the Good Dinosaur is more pretty than it is good, Monsters are okay, Wall-E is okay.

I would go to the hospital. If anything, that's an ER visit. Don't mess around.

I want a fighting game with Marvel characters that's more neutral-focused. MvC appears to stay in the advantage/disadvantage state, from what I've seen.

Though I'd still play MvC4.

Way too much was going on in that Batman v Superman movie. Should have just been Batman and Superman fighting with a few Wonder Woman references, and some after credit teasers for Doomsday/etc...

Outside of my senses being assaulted, BvS just had a lot of plot threads that went nowhere from what I remember. Eh. I tried it with the extended cut, too. That's my limit.

A certain Youtube video got me to look up employee stories about Marvel on Glassdoor. Man, if someone could get some ex-worker to do some anecdotes about working under them...

I think I tried starting it three or four times, the only thing that has stayed with me was this little half hidden room with a bedroll, canned food, a fire pit, tea pot and writing on the wall. I found that and thought it was a fun little mysterious thing to find, but the rest of the game never did anything for me.

I remember the game making a big deal about "you can use a gun or a sword!" The problem was that neither one was fun to use. The truth is, that game sitting on my shelf urged me to sell a bunch of games for only the second time in my life. I knew I was never going to play it again and I didn't want to look at it any more.

Bruh, the game is far more than just a sword and gun. It really starts to ramp up when you get your powers. I say give it another try and at least play until you get your first power.

After the last two episodes of Dragon Ball Super, I just can't even bring myself to care about the series anymore. That was terrible, hopefully the next arc isn't shit.

Dragon Ball has been shit since that first Vegeta fight ended.

FFXV bout to drop and I don't see myself copping tbh. Shit looks underwhelm ing af, the demo was meh, and first impressions from the most ardent fans (whose opinions I don't really trust) are kinda lukewarm. I'm anticipating professional impressions and the review thread though.

Ethnicity is not a race!
Morning y'all.

I think I'm going to be that guy with the unhealthy crush on an animated character. Moana is my bae.

Sorry Rapunzel. You'll always be my first, but Mo... man. And that hair!
