So the Xbone S won't play games at 4K apparently, that will happen with next year's Project Scorpio. So, there's no reason to upgrade to the Xbone S unless you have a 4K TV that is not a smart TV, I guess.

Yes, the retail price for the 1070 is more than the Xbone S. The new AMD card is $199 though (retail), and Xbone S/PS4 will be using AMD still. However, Nvidia has already demoed a 1070 built-in to a motherboard (small, too).

Could just be the quality of the pic, but the nose looks smaller and hair looks different on the right.

I don't think anyone knows exactly what the specs are for the updated consoles, but they could be sold at a loss, or very low profit margin for a while - but they will definitely be playing "real" games at 4K. The GTX 1070 can do it on the cheap, and the AMD 480 will probably be able to as well. Hell, the Nvidia Shield Android TV can play games at 4K.

4K Xbone S is real, if NX doesn't support 4K *at least for video services* then it's doomed from the beginning, again.

Kind of surprising though, PS4 is selling better than 3DS.

Unless there is a DAC or something in the headphones, then it doesn't really make any sense that using the lightning port would have any effect on audio quality. In the end, you end up with speakers connected via wires. Just read some of the article - yes, there is a DAC in the headphones, so it's more like the DAC in the phone is sub-par, than lightning cables "provide better audio."

I guess on paper Origins still happened and Wolverine remembers it, but I think the best idea is to just pretend that this movie never happened, or the changes from DoFP meant that Wade Wilson must have had a son...named Wade Wilson and he became Deadpool instead.

What is canon anymore, anyway? If the movies were direct 1:1 comic adaptations, that would be pretty boring.

The original timeline is pretty much gone - everything (or at least nearly everything) that happened in X-Men 1, 2, and 3 has been erased, as well as X-Men Origins: Wolverine. The only things that actually have happened now are what happened in First Class, DoFP, Apocalypse, The Wolverine, and Deadpool, in that order. Wolverine still has all of his memories from between X-Men and DoFP apparently, so whatever happens in The Wolverine 2, unless it takes place in present day (well, what was "present day" at the end of DoFP), he won't remember...unless these events would have happened with or without what was changed by what started with DoFP.


Bottom line: it's better this way. The second trilogy of X-Men movies is better than the first.

Yeah, I'm at the point where I couldn't give any less of a **** about anything DC does, but having different actors for the same characters on TV and in the movies is about as stupid as it gets. If Marvel had someone else play Punisher or Daredevil in whatever movie they show up in...well, they just wouldn't do that.

Aside from some of the scenes with Krang, and the Technodrome itself, the CGI is excellent in this one. Spoiler alert: none of the jokes are funny in his one either.

No standard headphone jack is stupid, even if they include headphones.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows - 6.5/10

It's either tied with or slightly better than the 2014 reboot. Shredder looks a lot better in this version, but he never fights the turtles and gets turned into stone by Krang near the end. Bebop and Rocksteady are very much alike their 80's/90's cartoon versions, aside from their voices. It actually could have stood to be a little bit longer (so could the 2014 movie), but it is what it is. Obviously they're setting up for a third movie with Krang in it again, and probably Shredder returning as well - but I imagine that at least *part* of it will take place in Dimension X. Whatever, go see it if you're a TMNT fan. It's not great, but it's not horrible.


As a side note, I noticed the Krang action figure (from the movie) has the name spelled "Kraang" like the Kraang from the Nickelodeon series...but in the movie it's spelled "Krang" like it always was before.

Wait a minute, shouldn't Scott Lang have been really weak when he turned into Giant Man? 100 feet tall but the strength of a 200-lb man, right?
