    Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

    Nintendo absolutely killing it with these remixed OG music tracks (Mario movie now this).

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Just saw it, I thought it was well done. The story is simple but it doesn't have to be that complicated for this type of movie. Tons of nostalgia for the adults and the kids loved it. There's a ton of source material from the Mario universe so it's somewhat surprising it took this long to...

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    We got a saying for stuff like that in NC - ‘Experience Canes Hockey’ Gotta admit I’m a little disappointed the Canes haven’t done more in trades, considering how everybody else loaded up. I also get not trying to blow up the future either but windows last only so long.

    The Last of Us

    Agree it felt like more of a filler episode I'll give the kid credit, she did a pretty decent acting job in that episode. The previous episode has been the best one imo and really all of them have been good for the most part (the indians in the beginning were pretty funny). Wonder if it's...

    What are you playing?

    Started the Yakuza series with Yakuza Kiwami. Biggest issue for me so far is the camera during fights but pretty neat for the most part.

    Retro Game of the Month?

    I actually tried something like this last year with the NES, playing and mostly completing all the games the start with ‘A’. I eventually got burnt out but I’d be open to doing a game weekly or monthly.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Agree although it’s unfortunate he’s not going to play in the stadium game. Still looking forward to it, wish I had tickets.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Just absolutely crushing for Max. Dude was trying so hard to come back only to have it happen again after 5 games back. Do wonder if was too fast though.

    NHL 22-23: Tanking hard for Bedard

    Canes are on some sort of run now. They finally are playing that lock down game where if you get 20+ shots against them in a game, you had a good night. Also crazy how Florida has fallen. They got some good pieces but honestly thing Maurice is the wrong type of coach for that team.

    What are you playing?

    Fortnite mostly zero build and Little Nightmares which is a neat little platformer/puzzle game. Also casually playing WoW lich king classic.

    The Netflix Thread

    I was curious if they were going to get to her death but that's next season. I do remember the interview she did with Bashir really sent shockwaves and that was before social media.

    The Netflix Thread

    This season has been really good although you have to wonder how much of it is based in reality (like if certain conversations in the show actually happened). It's crazy (as it was in real life) how drama in that family ramped up a thousand times once Diana entered the picture.

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Honestly that’s all I’m here for though. If there are a ton of references and Easter eggs and the animation is on point, that’s good enough for me. Kids will be all over this which is ultimately the bottom line for Nintendo.

    Super Mario Bros. (2022)

    Thought Jack Black sounded ok as Bowser, Pratt sounded like Pratt (more like Mario is playing Chris Pratt). Beyond that the animation looks great, I would expect a ton of easter eggs from all the games. I also realize that for the most part I'm not the target audience for this and I'm ok with...

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    Me and my wife actually had this conversation a few days ago and it brought up an interesting question. Would the social aspect of EQ be as successful as it was if something like Discord existed back then? Part of the allure of 'chatting' between pulls was the anonymous nature of it, where you...

    The Documentary Thread

    Also watching this now. There are a lot of evil human beings in this world and this is just another example of one. The other messed up part is it seems that the women who knew her are still pretty traumatized to this day.

    Gold Box Classics

    I've got most of these but on GOG instead of steam. I'm most familiar with the Krynn series as well but they are all good. Some of them are weird (like Hilsfar) but they introduced me to the CRPG (actually played these first before I ever touched Ultima or Might and Magic). I also have the...

    Dungeons & Dragons (2022)

    This felt like Guardians of the Galaxy - A DnD module. That being said the CG looks pretty good. Looks like one of those movies where you just don't take too seriously but may still be fun.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    I thought the Canes did well yesterday (and not done yet). Burns is arguably on par with Hamilton (despite age) plus he's going to be playing with Slavin and most likely PP1 so a ton of scoring opportunities (he takes a ton of shots). Max and Coughlin for basically nothing is another win (only...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    As I said in another thread, Skyrim/Fallout in space plus add in ship and basebuilding and that's a pretty good foundation already. It's a big vision that may not be great in execution but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, earned with Skyrim/Fallout 4. The mod scene is...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    I mean if it's essentially Elder Scrolls in space I'm not going to complain. Plus add the ship/basebuilding and it's got me intrigued.

    The Boys

    Good start so far. That little speech Homelander gives Starlight towards the end of E3 on how he could literally destroy the world just illustrates why almost everyone (even supers) walk around in fear of him, he's a whisper away from going batshit insane.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Yea when that happened it sucked, esp for Raanta who had been playing great up until that game. Then he got injured in Game 7 (MCL sprain) to make matters worse. Also found out that Freddie suffered an MCL tear back in April so if somehow if the Canes won that Game 7, they'd be limping into...

    MLB 2022: Georgia Gets the Last Laugh

    The big story in March was the Judge contract negotiations and I got to wonder now how much that's biting the Yankees in the ass with the year he's having. Even Stanton is hitting (when he's healthy). It just seems different this year but it's really because the pitching. Health will be a huge...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    I think that says more about how poorly Markstrom played. The biggest tell was in Game 1 in that series, despite the fact the Flames won 9-6.

    MLB 2022: Georgia Gets the Last Laugh

    I gotta say on the Yankees, with how well everyone is doing the most drastic change (esp defensively) has been catcher which really illustrates just how much of a liability Gary Sanchez was all these years. I also can't remember the last time they had this kind of starting pitching effectiveness.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Disappointing. Can't advance far if you can't win a road game and trying to hold hope you are going to win every home game, esp against a goalie like Igor. Canes also got murdered by special teams and at this point in the year if you can't score on the PP, you are dead in the water. Add in...

    Ozark

    The best case is Wendy put Javi's sister in the position to take over the cartel. Marty wanted nothing to do with her and Wendy went over him. That led to the sequence of events to where Ruth gets outed as Javi's killer and puts Camile in the position to kill Ruth. Pretty much agree with...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    He was great again but Tampa blocked a ton of shots as well. In fact I think Tampa had more high danger shots despite being outshot almost 2-1.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    That was a brutal loss but to be fair it goes beyond that for Florida. It's like 0 for 25 or something on the power play and I'm not sure how far you are going to get in the playoffs if you can't score on the power play. It was said before the playoffs that Florida outscoring their problems...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Canes stole the game last night no question. Just dead in the water for two periods and then finally started to play hockey in the 3rd. Raanta was huge all game though. Was one of those games you had this sense that NY should of been up at least 3 at the end of the second and Canes found a way...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    I got Canes, Panthers (lean Lightning if Point wasn't injured), Blues, Flames advancing.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Canes have the pressure today, only saving grace is it's at home. If they play their game and stay out of the box, they should win but we'll see. Tampa/Toronto is going to be wild. I was kinda hoping the Caps would pull it out last night then there would of been 6 game 7's (which I think is...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    I’ll admit (as a Canes fan) that I thought it would be a somewhat close series but nothing like some of these predictions. I understand the series isn’t over yet and it’s only two games but you had a lot of people favoring Boston (some even saying Boston preferred Carolina over Toronto) and...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Yea Pens got the win but they got some goaltending questions if Casey is hurt. Nashville is probably in the worst spot with Avs and their own goalie issues. Hoping for a good effort tonight for the Canes, I can imagine Boston isn’t going to play like Monday night.

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Yea it was weird here in the Raleigh market since the game was on both the local channel (Bally's) and on ESPN. I can only watch Bally through espn+ (via vpn) but since it wasn't on espn+ my only option was ESPN (if blacked out I would of had no option).

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Looks like most of the east is now set except pit/was (doubt Boston catches Tampa). Penguins look like dead man walking and could wind up as wc2 only to get blown out of the building by Florida (I still think Florida is pretty vulnerable if they run into lockdown defense/goaltending). fla -...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Ned was great especially the first 2 periods. Canes continue to have these games (usually at home) where they dominate for a majority of the game but don't score then a soft one gets by from the other team and the next thing you know they lose. You can say great goaltending but you got to find...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    Hell of a win at MSG last night for the Canes. Rangers are a pain in the ass no matter who they play. Good on Krieder getting 50. My thought on the first round for Carolina is I still think the worst case scenario is Tampa (even if they are struggling) because Vasi is the great equalizer...

    NHL 2021-22 Season - Now A Turner Classic

    As of right now I'll say the Panthers are slightly better than the Canes and I think we would probably lose a 7 game series to them. I'm also always going to concerned about any series against Tampa because Canes have to prove they can beat them in a playoff series. I don't think it's that...
