    Like others, there was this period of time when I played Rust and it got highly addictive for a few weeks. The problem for me is the game really is only enjoyable if you are playing with a good group of friends. There was nothing more frustrating then putting in a lot of work on your base and...

    The Mandalorian

    FYI there is a 'making of season 2' episode on Disney+ (just one episode this time). I didn't know the actress that plays Bo Katan was who voiced the same character in Clone Wars.

    Coming 2 America (2021)

    Kunta Kunte and Ebola lol. I'm amazed James Earl Jones is still alive, let alone looks good for his age.

    Damn I didn't know he was acting in the 70's. It's the first movie I saw him in.

    Coming 2 America (2021)

    I may be wrong but I think that was like his first movie. The original was a classic. People forget that it takes place in the same movie universe as Trading Places. One of the best scenes is when he hands a wad of money to the homeless guys (Mortimer and Randolph) and Mortimer is like...

    Where's the Christmas hats bitches?

    Mr. Stay Puft should wear a more festive hat during the season.

    Coming 2 America (2021)

    Yea that's the going theory. Unless he hooked up with one of the nightclub girls but the next scene shows them walking home. Arsenio probably hooked up with Patrice (the sister).

    Coming 2 America (2021)

    None of these people aged. The original was a classic John Landis movie. I think this is being directed by the same guy who did Dolemite (which was good). https://ew.com/movies/coming-2-america-first-look/

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Early reviews (here and elsewhere) seem to give this initial high marks despite the launch bugs. I want to play it (I almost never buy a game launch day) but my PC would only be minimum, maybe slightly above and that feels like it does this game a disservice. My plan was to fully upgrade my...

    The Queen's Gambit

    She wasn't just addicted to drugs, she was addicted to chess to the detriment of everything else. She purposely developed very little emotions because her only emotions was toward the game. When her adopted mother dies it's just another footnote in her life, nothing more. I can believe that...

    The Queen's Gambit

    Yea I thought they made the point numerous times that she was so consumed by it. I think even the guy that moves in with her for a bit says as much, basically saying in order to be even close to the level that she was you have to have to live chess 24/7 which he didn't want to do anymore.

    The Crown

    The season ends before they are divorced so I'm guessing they will deal with Diana's death next season (although I'm not sure if the same cast will be there or they are going to age Elizabeth to more current). Season was ok, probably better than S3. They did a decent job with Diana and Charles...

    The Queen's Gambit

    This was very well done, I almost thought it was based on a true story at first. Her addiction issues are typical of a lot of kids who rise to fame very quickly with no good support structure around her (parents). She was a somewhat cold person though with very little emotion until the end. I...

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    It's pretty amazing that the two games I even considered buying in the last round of Steam sales (GreedFall and Starbound) now show up on the Gamepass. Does anyone know when the EA Play hits PC? I hear the arguments about the lack of DLC on GamePass, I still think the amount of game options...

    (2020) Assassin's Creed Valhalla

    As someone who's never really played the AC games, what is a good starting point (in terms of quality). I'm guessing most are standalone stories?

    Hellblade

    Finally got to this and finished through my backlog. Very much recommended, as mentioned above the graphics and voice acting is top shelf. The lady that plays Senua is an actual human and is masterful in her acting (if you complete the game watch the behind the scenes video). By now it should...

    RIP Sean Connery

    He's iconic due to the Bond films but I still rank Red October right up there with his great roles. I don't blame him for retiring when he did. The great ones know when it's time to retire instead of dragging their career at the end through garbage, forgettable films.

    RIP Sean Connery

    I didn't know this but now wondering how he would of been in that role considering McKellen nailed it. I knew he was pretty old so it's not unexpected but still sucks. I think I read he had dementia which is horrible. RIP

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019

    Zombie mode is definitely a lot of fun. I like that it's a smaller circle to start with and when it's the last circle it's absolutely chaos with squads and zombies just killing each other, gas grenades going off everywhere, etc. They just added juggernaut mode and BR solos at night but zombies...

    MLB Hot Stove 2020: Congratulations to the nations capital

    I said it last year and I'll say it again this year. Chapman is overrated. I lost count how many home runs he's given up in big spots.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Best Sports Game of All Time

    I put some serious time into this when I first got a Genesis if for no other reason due to the graphic upgrade coming from an NES back in 89.

    Kingdom of Amalur: Re-Reckoning remaster releasing soon

    Does that FOV fix resolve the issue with the combat camera which induced headaches after 10 minutes of playing?

    Best Sports Game of All Time

    I still say the first Madden on the Genesis was something to behold at the time. Bulls vs Blazers was another one that I hold in high regard (again Genesis). If we were to do it by sport: Football - Madden Football (genesis) Basketball - Bulls vs Blazers (genesis) Baseball - Bases Loaded...

    FOH Keeper League - Year Eleventhousand

    I'll agree with the others, don't make it a money league. I think retaining a majority of the owners for 11 years is something to be proud of and part of the success of that is the format of league. I don't mind downsizing, I always thought 16 teams in a keeper league is probably 4 too many...

    There is actually a doc that is specifically about Atari and the E.T. game itself but I don't think it's on Netflix anymore, you can find it on amazon though.

    The Netflix Thread

    Expectations. Also have to put it in the context of the time period. Yes the 2600 games look and play bad now but before the NES that's all there was so that was the scale they were judged on. Even computer games in the early 80's were mostly garbage. E.T. was a failure because Atari thought...

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    It's an easy joke to make but it's not one based in reality anymore, at least not in the past two years. Both teams are disadvantaged by not having fans.

    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Isn't this somewhat already happening with nursing homes though? Most nursing homes are already in a lockdown state where residents don't leave and staff gets checked every time they walk in the door yet every other day I see on the news (at least around here) that this home or that home has...

    2019-2020 NHL Season Thread: Uber Missed the Blues Victory Parade Edition

    It's a nice touch but if it's a true home game, I don't know why they play the opposing teams horn and goal song. Even last night when the Canes went on the power play, they were playing the Canes home arena song even though we were the 'road' team.

    I agree, the Caps mean more to the Canes than the other way around (coming from a Canes fan). We really don't have any natural rivalries yet because we haven't been good for awhile. Back during the Cup year, I'd say the one we 'hated' the most was probably Buffalo. All that being said though...
