    Stranger Things

    Here I sit. I'm an early riser, up early while the rest of my house sleeps.... Turn Netflix on, on my laptop to watch old episodes while I wake up, and boom, like a shady bar tender trying to entice a recovering alcoholic, they have season 3 front and center and won't let you get into previous...

    SGDQ Trannyfest 2019

    I remember when I saw "Bloodborne world record speed run. Under 5 minutes!" I was completely blown away and wanted to see how that was even humanly possible, only to see some cheesedick seriously fall through the floor in Cathedral Ward and run through the nether until they popped out in...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    When it comes to drugs, I've always been a tea totaler and have never been tempted. My friends were raging pot heads, and that was fine, hell I'll sit in the circle and just skip the toke toke and just pass. However, if it ever becomes fully legal here in Tennessee or even in Georgia where we...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's kind of funny... my first foray into this series was Bloodborne, and yeah you are supposed to die to that first werewolf. And my response was "Neat! A single player EQ." I loved the challenge, and thank Christ I did, because legit I was on the first boss for well over a week...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    That was my main complaint about it too. I just also don't like dark/gritty settings that much and I had been hoping the first part of this was going to encompass the first disc or something like that when this was first announced, and I'm just really bummed it's just the prologue.

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Fair point. I guess full disclosure: I hated Midgard. Hated it. In fact I made a game save at the point just past completing it so I didn't have to ever go through it again on subsequent play throughs. And I'm trying to make more rational arguments as to why I'm not thrilled at the idea of...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Fair enough I guess... I dunno I'm not a fan of just urban settings in general for much the same reason. It's primarily because I just don't like endless gray and gritty, which is what Midgard was in the original. If they figure out to add some color and flavor into it, that would be a right...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    Yeah so there is a precedent, that's what they should do. Unfortunately, I do not share your enthusiasm for an entire game dedicated to Midgard. Yeah it's cool looking from distant shots, and it was pretty cool looking when playing through it. However the game play of it sucked, which would...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    They need to do this like they do an MMO. Release base game (part 1) full price yadda yadda with a level cap of say 50. Have endgame shit and optional junk for you to do like any other FF. Then when part 2 is ready, release it as an expansion with collectors editions and such with a new level...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    After trying different ways since X-2, I feel like they finally nailed the balance between the real time orientated gameplay modern gamers want and the old school turn/command based play that the old school fans love. I really hope this is the framework for all final fantasies moving forward...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    It's a razor thin line for sure, and really if they can't do it without retaining the community engagement years after release, I'm totally fine with it being a mixed bowl. That shit was amazing and kind of scary at the same time lol, and it was a shitload of fun to watch various people's takes...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Right. I am familiar with how they tease games as I have been following them since they revealed Bloodborne. I'm not basing that off of anything I gleamed off of the trailer at all. Someone in this thread just brought up GRRM's building great characters, so it made me type out my hopes that...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    They really had me at the teaser, but this solidifies it for me as one of my most anticipated games. It's kind of cool that they did Sekiro and this back to back. While Sekiro was not for me in the slightest, they were able to do their balls to the wall action game and this will be more balls...

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    You really won't, and honestly I don't think your even their target demographic. I think they are hoping to hit an otherwise untapped market full of people who have phones, tablets, crappy little office computers but decent internet connections. If they are right it will be pretty brilliant...

    Game Streaming Services - Stadia, Geforce Now, xCloud, PS Now

    Right this is not really aimed at core and hardcore gamers. This is aimed at folks who don't even want to drop 500 for a console, let alone the 1000+ a good - great gaming rig would cost. Hell you don't even need to do the shit on the preorder. Just have something, anything, that can run...

    GameStop Stock Worth $5.13...But Only Worth 7cents In Store Credit

    Only reason I went to Gamestop/Babbages et al, was at the time (mainly during the PS1 and earlier gens) they were the only ones that had every game released. If you went to a big box store, they'd have only the highest profile of mainstream games. So, as an RPG fan that mostly meant I was shit...

    PS4 games for our kids

    The PS is not very kid friendly. They've listed most of them. I'd say Lego Worlds and Minecraft are your obvious first choice. Monster Hunter World would be good fun if he had the motor skills.

    Dauntless - Co-op Action RPG - Ex Bioware devs

    I don't mind chucking some money towards a f2p game... something like a battle pass. However, how is plat handled in this game? Do you have to use it to get gear, or is it strictly to supplement crafting speeds ala Warframe?

    Death Stranding

    I'm not saying I think it will be a walking simulator, I just personally think his games are not all that. Like I remember when I played the first MGS. I didn't hate it. In fact I thought it was solid. But not a 10/10 game by any means. And I remember all the praise heaped on it for months...

    Death Stranding

    My first reaction is Kojima can't stop smelling his own farts and this game is his magnum opus of fart smelling. Then I'm intrigued because I like Norman Reedus. Then info about an upside down dimension that you are banished to if you die. Kojima still has his head way too far up his own ass...

    Survivor

    Yeah it's not Chris's fault he played the hand he was dealt and used it to win. It was the stupid ass dealers. They do this as a way to keep returning players in the game when they are going to be voted out before the merge. The real fix is to not bring in just 2-4 returning players. Either...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    FightinCowboy being the man: It's obvious this isn't all the weapons. And I know the first one changed a good deal between its initial alpha and the release so here's hoping they tweek things. I'm actually good with the major systems being left alone (I really hate sequels being...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    They definitely need to figure out how to balance armor. First up 90% of your actual defense came from the defensive modifier damage reduction versus the listed AC, so heavy armor was hands down better than medium and light years better than light. The AC (or whatever it's actually called...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    You can actually pause Nioh and I'm sure it's the same with Nioh 2. It's just kind of hidden. You go into the options menu (options button) then hit the options button again... boom paused. I REALLY hate that these games do that shit. Soulsborne and Monster Hunter. How hard is it to to...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah no, I love the joke but no way in hell I'm watching porn with my kid haha. Hell I get squeemish when titties and ass come out in something like GoT with my wife. That's what I did, they were 5 or 6 when I started the conversation and yes it was very clinical in nature. And as time has...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That is a good question and I don't have an answer to it. But that's what I mean about the candid conversation. Kid's take most things at face value, and not only would they fully believe that is really a brother and sister with a monster cock banging a chick with boobs the size of water...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    And it's easy for me to judge a differing view point, which I won't do, so please do not take my posts as such. My only goal was to offer my perspective and that was it. If you continue on this path, and I on mine. If this board is still around and survives another meltdown of the admins, we...

    Nioh (Team Ninja)

    Holy shit the best skill tree system ever in my mind is the sphere grid system and I am happy as shit to see them here. Yeah the weapon variety has been scaled down a bit... alot... but all the major types are still represented. Going to miss the K Chain though. I watched some of the other...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    As far as porn goes. I have found both my son and daughter going to pornhub. I wasn't panicked and it definitely isn't the end of the world by any means. My wife who has a low libido and lived in a house that was 3/4 female, does not understand the male sex drive. Now she is married to a man...

    Final Fantasy VII Remake

    10's story was amazing, it was just god awfully acted. They either should have just kept the Japanese voices with subtitles or just had it all text still. Holy shit it was bad. The main thing I have for this remake is the fact that they are splitting it up into parts and they are pulling in...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    This is why I'm hoping it is exactly as GRRM describes: he's consulting. If he is directly writing this, they will have a million characters, and From's games have been very minimalist in that sense (at least the ones I've played) and I like that approach better. His and From's world and lore...

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    I still say all GRRM is going to do is lay out the outline and help build the lore. Hopefully they go back to the more RPG elements of the other games, as I read somewhere that they are considering this the successor to Dark Souls. Very excited to see what they have to show us next month.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It's kind of easy to say that now because your kids are so young. Our eye opener was when my son and his step cousin got involved in a pretty raunchy conversation with a girl they met at a gathering. But I do have to be fully transparent though. Some of this is because my wife was one of...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It does for us. It's still hardware based and the devices the kids have are basic enough that it's really hard to skirt around. IE they don't have full on PCs. Just tablets and the Playstations, which I can turn off web browsing, and I have. If some slips through and we retroactively find...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    As far as social media goes, I just flat out won't allow it until they are 18. Not trying to convince you Noodle, but more to explain my perspective. Looking at our generation who didn't get a hold of it until well after adulthood and how retarded 99% of the population is with it, I don't see...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is what I was coming in to say almost exactly. The ending itself was pretty good to me, it just took a ton of really shitty writing to bend the overall narrative to go in that direction, to the point of completely destroying what had been built up to that point. The only thing that drove...

    Survivor

    God I hope not. Overall the season was meh, but it wasn't terrible. However, this ending was so bad, it even makes Natalie winning over Russell look pretty good in comparison. Dude gets voted out THIRD. Shouldn't even have a voice on the Jury, let alone be 2 completely not out of nowhere...

    We finally got "real" internet after 10 years of living in the sticks (went from nothing but our cell phones to 1 gig fiber) and now we have Netflix we can actually watch comfortably. I can't stand watching anything on my phone so here we are. Needless to say this was on our "to watch as soon...
