    Super Mario Odyssey

    Me and the wife have been playing this together, and we beat it this past weekend, and are now going back to get the rest of the moons... there are still 2 worlds left to open??? Holy shit. Great game but yeah if there is legit 800 fucking moons in this game, that is beyond retarded.

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I get it, I do, but I don't have to like it. I'm not so casual that I don't care who is who or what is what in a movie if there is ACTION, but I'm not hard core enough to go out and read fan fiction just to know what the hell is going on in a movie. Seriously, I have yet to read a star wars...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I saw this yesterday and came here to post my thoughts and I'm kind of glad I read back a couple of pages. I walked out of the theater enjoying it but definitely felt it's flaws. A: the movie was way too damn long for the story it ultimately set out to tell. The entire middle 3rd of that...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    I am really starting to see this. There is a stretch from late plateau to just past the first villiage where you get attacked a ton by non weapon weilding beasts. But at this point I have my stock of good weapons but usually just fight the battle with stuff that dropped. I still kind of wish...

    The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

    Yeah this game.... I cannot describe my feelings for it. My family thinks I hate it because I am constantly cursing at it for it's weird tedium from design decisions, yet if I'm not careful, the sun will hit me in the eyes through my window, letting me know 12 hours has just passed by...

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    It's better than FF XV in fact I told my friend this is what they should have done with that battle system. It shares the same foundation: control one guy while commands for the other 2 pop up over time. But the overall flow and depth is so much better. The game finally hooked me once I got past...

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    I think the combat system alone makes it worth a try for sure. While juvenile, the story doesn't totally suck but be prepared to watch long cut scenes especially after completing a major area and boss. But it is VERY Japanese so mileage may vary on your enjoyment. It skirts the border for me...

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    I haven't got far enough yet. I am looking for Nia who got caught. I know it will eventually. I just forgot how story heavy JRPGs actually are lol. I was a huge fan in the 90s but haven't played one outside of final fantasy in a long time

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    Yeah the skeevy levels of this game are through the roof and it's kind of embarrassing when my daughter says they need to wear clothes. I love the actual gameplay systems. The battle system is a ton of fun and all the various leveling and power systems show a bunch of promise but dammit if I...

    Xenoblade Chronicles 2

    Man I got start this tonight and I forgot how boring the opening bits of a JRPG can be. WTF I should have gotten Mario or Zelda kept coming up in my head that whole time. After getting past the first chapter I am bit more intrigued. Lots and lots of cut scenes though.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    So it's my birthday, wife's a caterer, and someone posted Beef Wellington in one of the food porn derails (think it was politics), and she is making it for my birthday dinner. Hell to the yes.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I mean if all of those were in place? Sure I'd plow the hell out of this woman, but since that is akin to saying you'd have Santa Clause film the act as well, it's one I never really seriously entertain. Besides even if I never got caught, I'd still *know*. Whole line of thinking would change...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I dunno about all of that, I just know I'd rather someone scrape their nails on a blackboard over saying "We seen the whole thing right up close yonder." Fuck. That. Noise. Huge pet peeve of mine.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Never. LOL at best this would be a one night stand fuck if there was no risk of life ruining consequences. We get the same jokes and laugh at the same shit, and that's about it. She's complete redneck and someone who can't even use the word "seen" properly so she'd be one that I'd want to...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    Ok that makes sense. I don't know that I'll ever mess with it personally but it's cool to see.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have a receptionist at work that I have bonded with because our senses of humor and tastes are almost cosmically aligned. We became friends on facebook and give each other shit on posts and what not. Wife got bothered about it, so I kiboshed most of it. I didn't stop talking to her or...

    All Stephen King Books

    I just finished the first Dark Tower book like a half hour ago, and I'm not even sure what I read. I dunno it felt like a whole lot of nothing happened to be honest, and reading these last few pages it seems to not be a late bloomer. Not sure if I want to continue as it just never grabbed me...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    So fired this up on my PS4 last night as I'm bored, and waiting for my switch on Friday. I bought the Necro, and tried him out. The class seams like a lot of fun with killing a few trash mobs to nuke the shit out of everything with the bodies and my 5 million skeletons that just kind of...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    I'm getting a switch for my b day on Friday from the wife. I didn't specifically ask for one, but I had mild interest. I'm not looking for the AAA blockbusters, because I have a PS4 Pro for those. I'm hoping they continue the trend of the DS and release more old school style games, like that...

    Regrets

    My only real regret is taking up smoking tobacco. Most of the other stuff is something I look back on at 41 years old and think it ended up working out for the better anyway. IE like not going to school early enough, but then I wouldn't have the experienced I gained elsewhere Or it's like...

    The Walking Dead

    I actually think it happened in last week's episode. I didn't mind his death, not that he annoyed me too badly, but because I know this is a huge deviation from the comics, which is sorely needed at this point. Outside of that, I think it is hilarious that a heard of walkers let loose inside of...

    Game Awards 2017

    Horizon was mine but honestly Nioh was right up there. My third favorite was Origins, but it's not due to technical prowess or even brilliant design, I had an itch that needed scratching (large open sandbox) and it was there to do it. I really wanted to like Persona 5 with it oozing with...

    Bloodborne

    I mean would I kick it out of bed for eating crackers? Hell to the no. Bloodborne is one of my favorite games of all time However, due to the fact that these games are so lore heavy, I think Bloodborne pretty much showed all of their cards so I'd be concerned that they end up jacking up the...

    Bloodborne

    Yeah Sony Japan did. In fact they didn't just publish. They own the IP like they own Demon's Souls. From actually did a teaser last night at the awards show, and everyone is saying Bloodborne 2. I really hope not. I'd love to see a game with the same style and mechanics, but the story is...

    Bloodborne

    Someone took the time to write this 90 page doc on their theory on the story. It's massive, but was pretty cool. But again, and even VaatVydia falls into this, there are so many gaps that most of it is conjecture. I guess I liked the doc more.. I'll post a link as soon as I get it. I will...

    Survivor

    It's funny because you had two polar opposite examples of how to play and how not to play happen all at once. Ben actually plays an idol as it always should be: no one knew he had it, and he used it on a unanimous vote against him. Lauren had already screwed up by telling everyone what she...

    Parent Thread

    They are screwing it all up by making all of this a stress filled nightmare to get good test scores. I'm usually not opposed to the idea of testing as a way to gauge teacher effectiveness, but it has warped into this constant barrage of anything less than near perfect is failure. And for kids...

    You just sign the fucking thing while you curse the mother fucking educational system the entire time. Ours are tied to their behavior and they can get legit detention/etc for not having it filled out. Luckily all ours is just a spread sheet with one cell for your signature and the other the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Now that stress levels have gone way down with the completion of the remodel, my wife has almost become a completely different person. As an added bonus, we got this sectional that she picked out that is wide as hell and is basically two giant chase lounges connected to each other with a large...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Well I'm ok with the scrimmages... at the very beginning of the season as a de facto pre season warm up. This shit of playing a FCS school in November is complete crap. But those games really do help the small schools fund their Athletic Departments. And I love your idea of a 10 game season...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    Yeah 15 total points scored in the modern era between two teams who had no idea what offense actually was, is the epitome of excitement... and then a 21-0 shutout in a bullshit rematch. I have seen paint drying that was more exciting to watch.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I look at the BCS as simply better than what was before, but yeah you are right. It wasn't total bullshit until later on, and no I will never get over the LSU v Bama game... ever. I know Oklahoma State shit the bed late to cause that to happen, but I will always believe that had LSU or Bama...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    At this point in time, I can't, and that's why it still sucks. I hate the 4 team format for that reason alone. It's why I want it to be expanded to 5 teams. (4 and 5 play in at 4's home the week after championship week). At least in the first couple of years, they picked just conference...

    Heads up for all EA games and Ubisoft games going forward.

    Man the only thing this thread is missing for the Rose Colored Nostalgia feels is that dude who typed in Engrish to come in and start laughing at the Hero Engine. Then my Monday would be complete.

    The Walking Dead

    I had to drive 12 hours to pick up my mother... didn't even make it all the way through Outlander (panty dropper show, so it's worth it). Not that I really care. I skipped two episodes and watched last weeks. From the reviews I'll skip this one too and just watch the mid season finale.

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I hate the popularity contest that college football is. Yes, the CFP is great step towards not being one, but it's obvious the thing still needs some work. Now, here's the thing. The best thing about College football is it's the only sport where the regular season really truly matters. This...

    College Football 2017-2018 Season

    I think Fisher could do very well there. He could easily win 10 games there... but, his two losses will be Alabama and Auburn/LSU. Meaning, he'll probably rarely win the division, and A&M's fans are retarded, so he'll get fired after going 56-4 with 5 New Year's six wins for not being...

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    I will definitely give it a try. I got the expansion from PS+... not sure why we didn't just get the full game but whatever (Yes I know the expansion was stand alone but still). With that said, I beat the main quest last night. Story went from serviceable to crap in the last third. Couple...

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    My hang up is I absolutely hate stealthy game play. If I don't have to sneak around and back stab, then I'm golden. And after the ship battles in origins, not sure I would like that about black flag either. The only reason I gave Origins a shot was because you could go toe to toe and not have...
