@chunlixiaoyufan: Alright. If we're assuming this is all true, then I'm real freaking surprised to see Songbird here. I think she's a S.H.I.E.L.D. lady who featured somewhat in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and is a very minor, regular human character with a staff? Khan makes sense to me as a currenttly popular/new character. I'm stoked about Dr. Octopus.

Also, Black Panther is so nice he made it in twice. I guess the second one was supposed to be Black Widow? Or Black Cat, I can only dream.

You're thinking of Mockingbird. Songbird is a powered person.

Similar to how games are handled on PC, at some point support for older hardware needs to be cut in order for advancements in software to be made. It's my personal belief that from now on, the release of every new hardware revision will drop support for two models back. So, when the next Scorpio and PS5 come out, the original Xbox One and PS4 will no longer see new titles come out on them. That'll give them a market life of about what we're used to anyway, but the difference from here on out is that any future console release should be backwards compatible with anything that came out in 2013 and onward.

The AI in Forza games has always been objectively terrible. Period.

Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic Keyboard and a Logtiech Performance MX

I type more than I play PC games, so using anything other than an ergonomic keyboard for long periods would be joint suicide for me. The mouse was free, so can't complain. If I were to upgrade I'd get something with a trackball, or maybe a vertical mouse.

Utilizes the saved position for continued watching (is that part of the API?), so this is basically the best thing ever.

My only recommendation would be to look into adding support for the new Compact Overlay feature in the Windows 10 Creators Update. Basically it allows you to have an OS level picture in picture mode. This is how Beam works, for example. You can see the implementation I'm thinking of by using the Movies & TV app (it calls it mini-mode, I think).

Yeah, they added that API call just a couple weeks ago. I hope all of the GB apps update to use it soon.

And good idea! I didn't notice that when I was reading through the Creators Update SDK notes.

Yeah, for some reason they didn't talk about it AT ALL. I'm not a dev, so unfortunately I don't know of any documentation or references to get you started.

I haven't seen anything else from him as to why, or what his future plans are.

Here's a statement that Mat Elfring, the lone standing full time editorial staff of CV, posted on their boards.

Here we go.... Time to answer your questions.

Hi. Comic Vine is not going anywhere. Honestly, it's going to be a tad rough for a little while, as I'm mostly at GameSpot and have been for the past year, as you've probably noticed. I will do my best to put more focus on CV for the time being while things get adjusted. Please be patient, as I'm at Star Wars Celebration this week and C2E2 next week... and WonderCon two weeks ago. Needless to say, I'm pretty beat.

Questions about Tony leaving the site are for him to answer, so I will not be answering those. The guy hired me 8 or 9 years ago, and I've been with him ever since. He's one of my closest friends. This does suck. It's a bummer. But I really want you all to know the site isn't going anywhere.

The CV Podcast may return. I didn't feel right doing it without him the past couple of weeks, since that is his baby.

As for the forums, I don't care about your beliefs or what you say, as long as you treat each other with dignity and respect.

I know a lot of people were put off by the merging of Comic Vine and "GameSpot Universe". I'd say try to not get too speculative as to why Tony left until he says something more.

*shrugs* I dunno. Last time I bought a bundle of boxes I got enough gold to buy what I wanted afterwards. I'd honestly be more likely to put more money into the game if I could just buy gold (or a new currency) to directly buy the stuff I wanted instead of blind boxes.

Is AMD still the hardware partner? If so, we could see a new Ryzen CPU + RX500 series refresh? Hard to imagine this thing being more powerful than a RX480 because they would need a Vega card otherwise

The RX 5xx series of GPUs will just be rebranded RX 4xx cards. Scorpio will need a Vega chip in order to run games at native 4K.

I have very high doubts on them using a Zen chip, but we'll see. (Ryzen is out of the question, TDP is too high.)

100% sold. It's like Saints Row X Crackdown X Ratchet & Clank.
