Just because you know the post-snap characters are coming back, doesn't reduce the impact for me like it did for some. It will affect the current characters and potentially lead them to their death, probably Cap and Iron Man. It's a huge driving force for them now, Tony will stop at nothing to avenge Peter Parker. Same thing for Cap with Bucky.

Even beyond the meta-knowledge we all have about what movies are to come, the VFX and sound effect employed when characters turned to dust was oddly unfit for the tone the end of the film was trying to strike. You could probably argue the intended effect was to create a sort of psychological distance between viewer and viewed, as if all these deaths were happening in a bad dream. Some commentary, I suppose, on a dreamer's powerlessness in the context of a sleeping vision. Tony, in the beginning of the film, even refers to the distance between dreamstate and reality to Pepper during their jog.

Mostly, the movie is fine. It makes a couple of films in the build-up feel irrelevant--particularly Thor: Ragnarok, which is a bummer. And its plot isn't entirely airtight. I still don't understand what the Soul Gem does. I still don't buy that Dr. Strange couldn't have used the Time Gem during the fight on Titan to help remove the gauntlet. I can't believe Dr. Strange didn't at least try to sorcerer-magic everyone back to Earth from the spaceship (he can travel through dimensions, but not from one physical space to another across a great distance?).

I wonder how well Infinity War Part 1 will stand up to repeated viewings after we have the second installment. I've seen the movie twice now and both times I've found myself idly wondering if there is an alternate universe where the Gauntlet and the Snap are the opening act of a single, more concise film. In any case, the fact that this movie is coherent at all is a minor miracle. The fact that it is genuinely compelling is kind of an achievement.

Soul stone probably is the thing he needs to be able to make half of all life in the universe disappear, in conjunction with the other stones. Dr Strange didn't do any of that because he hints multiple times about how there was only one possible timeline in them winning. He even tells Tony, "There was no other way". Meaning not stopping Quill from hitting Thanos was part of that one possible win.

Let me tell you what I have first. Just today I received my Sennheiser 558s in the mail and tomorrow I'll be receiving the Sennheiser Game One headset (both use the same audio driver apparently).

I have the 558s plugged into this motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130571 just using onboard Realtek audio.

Now I'm just utterly confused on what to do. I do think these headphones sound better than my Gamecom 780 but I want to get the most out of it so should I get a sound card/amp? I was looking at the Xonar DG and Xonar DGX as a low cost way to increase my audio quality. I don't even really know the difference between them. I'm going crazy with the multitude of options.

Big coincidence how the plot of Terminator: Genisys lines up with the "largest software upgrade in history". Even MS said they want Windows 10 on over 1 billion devices. Say your goodbyes.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with Jai Courtney and I've seen a good amount of the films he's in including Terminator. He's a believable actor to me.

"Supporting the developer"
You are one person. If the general public isn't already buying the game, then your 60 dollars or whatever isn't going to change anything.

This is the right way to deal with piracy, pirates(online) are not EVIL, most people who pirate things either don't have the money at the moment to buy it or are not sure if they would like the game.

If games still had demo's, people would pirate games a lot less.

PS: nice story patrick

This is in no way a valid reason to pirate anything.

Why is it not a valid reason to pirate?
