  1. They just announced the next MitB rewards as KO and Samoa Joe 'Fastlane' Ultimate cards, they will be the last Ultimate MitB rewards. I am going to be going all out this weekend to get the Hrd, Elt and Ult cards from RD, borrowed some money off my fiance to buy a pack and got Ult Miz, Ult Ambush (Support) and two crappy SummerSlam cards which while Miz really helped my decks a WM33 tier card or a second Ult Bray Wyatt would have been preferable.

    Don't waste your time. It's nothing like the movie. In this version of the story Mills is a former green beret who wants to avenge the death of his sister who was killed bz the cartel as revenge for a raid Mills was involved in and in which he killed someone close to the cartel boss. At least that is what he tries and fails to do in the pilot. He is captured by the cartel and just as he is about to be killed he is saved by some super secret special intelligence team that was using Mills to get close to the cartel boss who is captured alive. They offer him a place on the team. He accepts. And from here on out the show becomes a procedural about the team doing an secrert operation each episode. It's the complete opposite to what the movie was about. The actor who plays Mills has absolutely nothing on Neeson and it was a mistake of making Mills so young in this adaptation. There is also none of the fast paced over the top action which made the movie so much fun to watch. Really, apart from the character names and the name of the show and the plot of the pilot it has nothing in common with the movies. What's even the point to make a TV show based of the Taken movie if you are not even going to try to capture the essence of the movie? 

    On a similar note: Is the TV adaptation of Training Day any good?

    I personally have enjoyed Training Day, it is set years after the movie with none of the original characters involved. It has interesting side stories set against a series arcing story, the focus is primarily on the 'trainee' and his fathers partner who is the 'mentor' finding out what his father hid before his death, while also developing the right mindset to work in the Special Investigation Section. Overall the casting feels good and the chemistry has definately built between the characters over the episodes I have seen.

    The only problem will be if they don't finish the main story enough in season 1 that Paxton's character is no longer needed to continue with further seasons, especially since the producers and showrunners have made clear they will not recast the role.

    If you guys aren't watching Lethal Weapon - you suck.

    Loved the entire series, gonna have to rewatch the movies before season 2 as it's been a long time since I watched them.

    Does anyone here recommend Taken, I've heard contrasting views on the series.

    How do you guys decide what serie to watch? There is so much cool old and new shit out there!

    I generally wait for 3-4 episodes to be released and watch them back to back, if I don't enjoy them then I cut them from my watchlist.

    My main issue at the moment is the amount of older shows/seasons of ongoing shows that I need to watch before carrying on with the new episodes, keeping track of where I was upto in series was an issue for me but since I started using trakt.tv it has become easier.

  5. It will be Friday before I manage to buy a pack due to having to sort some other things out tomorrow, knowing my luck it's going to be a Ultimate card not a WM33. With how good the cards look I can already forsee the event cards looking like crap.

  6. So due to how far into Elite tier I am getting Ambrose has become a struggle, can't do the uncommon cheat because my only supports are Tgh to deck and Cha to deck meaning I would definately lose Pow and Spd matchups. Will be buying credits later once the new tier is released, that should help me alot to advance towards getting Ambrose.

    Need someone to walk me through this uncommon strategy, just hit the +1 wall on the Ultimate card

    Put uncommon males and females as the entire squad and use decent supports that add points to the full deck not one superstar. What tier are you in and what supports do you have?

    What they really need is an overhaul of the tiers to make things more realistic and up-to-date. A mega-powered James Ellsworth just seems ridiculous to me, and the amount of former talent in the lower tiers who have been gone for over a year is huge. 

    Former talent isn't that bad, Ellsworth is 3 statted by Mickie so he's not mega-powered.

    EDIT: New Undertaker card looks incredible, might have to buy a pack tomorrow depending on price.

  8. They just tweeted it, didnt look on their website.

    Kind of think this tier is a stupid idea, calling it WM 33 and having Shamrock who hasn't been involved in WWE in so long is bullshit. Think i'd prefer a new season to this stupidity, atleast then they could work up from Legendary with Survivor, Hardened, Elite, SummerSlam, WrestleMania, Ultimate, Hall of Fame in that order.

    With a Ken Shamrock card of all things.

    Kind of a dumb name but you kind of write yourself into a corner when you name one of your tiers 'Ultimate'. Are they gonna retcon it to the Penultimate tier now? :shifty:

    Haven't seen a Shamrock card, the only ones I've seen are Triple H and Mickie James on the WWE Supercard twitter.

  10. Due to needing less points to complete cards this RTG I am hoping they forgot to adjust the wall and am gonna play as much as possible, even if it means putting in a all uncommon deck to play 1 pointers. If they have adjusted the wall then I should still get Ambrose who would make my RTG males Elite and above meaning goodbye hardened

    So I am fast approaching 100 movies this year, dunno how much longer I will be able to sustain the momentum I have going since there are several tv shows I am preparing to binge watch. The imminent release of Marvel's Iron Fist tv show on Netflix will take priority next weekend and then I have other shows I am halfway through and need to catch up before new seasons start.

    When I hit 100 I might take a break from the binging I have been doing, watch some of the tv shows and watch the occasional movie before going back to binging movies like I have been.

  12. So my plans to get the elite and hopefully ultimate are out the window, travelled seven hours from home yesterday to visit family and forgot my phone, unfortunately my game is only linked to my apple account and not facebook. So despite being able to play the game on my fiances android I have to play her game which never gets played and is Ultra Rare ++ tier. I should be home for the team event but if not will let you know with time to possibly replace me with someone for the time being.

  13. To be fair that whole event was a flaming pile of turd for the most part, gonna blast my way through atleast the HD and Elite card in RD, might try for the Ultimate card aswell again since it would give me a good push up the ranks. Be my first NXT brand elite card so definately no pro for me but oh well, really wish I was in Ultimate tier so I could go after the Jericho card.

  14. My elite fusion drops two hours into the event, I only have 4 smackdown elite cards so not likely to be a pro for me since I'm fairly certain they all came from events. The hardened card would most likely go straight into the fusion chamber in the next few weeks, really hope that as a team we can hit Ultimate tier soon as the stronger cards would help the whole team.

    Just been looking on the Supercard forums and found this:-

    Quote

    Following SD Elites haven't been used:

    Becky Lynch
    Erick Rowan
    Kane
    Naomi
    Natalya
    Nikki Bella
    Randy Orton


    However, Bray has been used twice, so it is possible for another duplicate.

    Nikki Bella or Randy Orton would be pros from that list, the other two for me that would be pros would be Ziggler or Jimmy Uso.

  15. I've got no motivation to put effort into this event, no pros and since I am barely into Elite tier getting the Elite would take loads of work, might take a couple of days off from the game to recharge the batteries so I'm ready for the team event. Think blazing through RD like I did was what did it, I don't think doing all 3 cards on a regular basis is the best idea but I'll keep doing it.

    Hopefully the Team RD's Elite card is a pro for me since a couple Elite pro males and a female would probably push me into Ultimate tier, be really nice to get as close to the top before new tier(s) are introduced so I don't have as much work to do in order to move up further.

  16. Basically just used most of my cards to pro my Fusion Alicia which has pushed my RTG deck to Elite, can't wait for more RD events to grind out the elite cards at the least, might use some of my single HD cards and fusion ciampa to do a Elite fusion seeing as pretty soon HD cards will be useless in terms of RTG events.

    I did it. I pulled a Hardened Freddie Blassie earlier today (which is pointless when I have 2 SS Vince's), so I tossed that, Hardened Rich Swann, and a bunch of SummerSlam singles back in with Elite Jordan, to go for the Ultimate Fusion.

    Glad to see everyone is pushing hard through the tiers, personally spent the last few hours doing common fusions, will be starting on uncommons after this last one, decided to slowly build up with a bunch of them since I have no cards to create a elite fusion at the moment, when the time comes that I do then Ciampa will be going straight in.

    Regret putting my second Fusion Alicia into my KotR deck as it means I have 18 hours until I can pro her now. Really looking forward to my first team event back on the Hitmen.

  18. Gonna start trying to save up for a Ultimate pro from MitB, had to put a password on my phone to stop my kid from spending them and changing cards in my decks, getting enough contracts is gonna take a looong time but is gonna be worth it if I move up to Ultimate.
