Just finished the season myself. I also didn't know what to think during the men's final, it was really good. The season wasn't as good as previous seasons, but I have to say the last two episodes redeemed it quite a bit. Interested to see what happens next with Miguel and his (presumably)...

Nice shot of that non-hot girl that people in this thread are way too good for

It's less "pro wrestling" now and more "grounded TV drama" for sure.

Watched the first two new episodes of S4. Feels like it was written by different writers than the rest, much more serious and...a little bit boring? I like how they positioned Robby as the new unbeatable badass villain of the series, but in the new season they've had Tori get the upper hand on...

I was just thinking that. I re-upped Netflix just to watch S4 of this show. Decided to rewatch the second half of S3 first because I couldn't remember too much of what happened in that season once Miguel started walking again. I was probably "watching while distracted" or something, playing a...

More or less my experience, except I've also got the sidebar of my mom being friends with his niece. They worked at the same school in the northeast, and they were really upset about what happened to him when I was a kid. I was always afraid of "tuberculosis" after that because it sounded scary...

Pretty sure it's in the millions. People were talking about it in the early 2000's before it even had a name, specifically in "didn't Mandela die in the late 80's?" discussions. Always thought it was weird that I got it so wrong when I spend the late 90's and early 2000's studying geography and...

Doing Citra emulation on phone since Square refuses to release the phone version of DQ7 outside of Japan for some reason. Obviously this kind of pales in comparison to the actual phone versions of the previous 6 games, since the game image only takes up two-thirds of the screen (and really it's...

Yeah, I'll put it on the list. I wanted to play it for a long time anyway and then it just sorta fell off the radar. Among the greatest RPGs Square ever made are Vagrant Story, Chrono Cross, and Final Fantasy IX. All of them look like total ass now, and if I need to play FFIX I'm 100% reaching...

Do you ever find out what happened to the mirror in the bathroom? I immediately wanted to know how it got smashed, then when checking his email there was one from the landlord? asking how exactly it got smashed. Clever way for them to get around having to animate Adam in the mirror (something...

The fact that there's a new Shazam movie now just makes it even more confusing. This is one I don't remember myself. I vaguely remember Kazaam, which I think had Shaq in it. Curious George had a tail, can confirm.

Game was too short for me to give it high marks (four chapters, ehh) and I could never match with other players for anything except stage 1 and sometimes stage 2 of the first chapter (something I'm told is a bug). So I had to go through most of the game with no help, aside from replaying chapter...

It's a pretty old game, so I might have a tough time with the visuals. I'm assuming the best / only way to play it is still on PC? Maybe it's got graphics mods by now. Actually shocked that it never got a console remaster. I thought that would happen for sure after HR's success, but instead we...

I was watching those V/H/S movies a while back, which are basically groups of found-footage short stories. One of them, can't remember which but I think it was the otherwise-terrible third one Viral, had a story vaguely similar to what @Gravel is talking about. A guy created a dimensional portal...

Since there's no thread for this, here's a place to discuss the 'Effect and whether you've been affected by it yourself, theories on what it is (Large Hadron Collider, people's faulty memories, Quantum Leapers changing things in the timeline). Let's keep it somewhat serious and not diverge into...

I'm gonna work on my stealth knockouts. Having the silent running skills should make it a lot easier next time. This game really does have a lot in common with the real world. The good guys are the ones the media tells everyone are crazy extremists, everything's basically built on a mountain of...

Couple questions if anyone wants to answer 'em: -How do I get more bullets? Hardly have any, and enemies drop less ammo than they take to defeat. Found some in the shop and it was 100 a bullet, with a limit of 5. So I got 5 from there. Geezus. Does the game just really want me to use stealth...

Did some more Parasite Eve 2. It's definitely got that 2000 Square magic, and various recurring music from PE1 that puts me back in the right mood. ...but why oh why did they ruin it with tank controls? PE1 didn't have tank controls. They were probably copying Resident Evil (there's a reason I...

It's funny, just today I was telling someone about how my #1 peeve these days is people who say "how have you not seen/read [whatever]" every time there's something I haven't seen/read. I'm sure I've seen stuff they haven't, and it gets really annoying really fast how often people say that all...

I know what you mean. Metroid Prime Trilogy on the Wii does something similar to that. You load it up and it skips over the title screen and file select musics of whatever game you choose. Which means some GREAT tracks are gone. MP2's file select music is one of the first things I think of when...

I've never triple-dipped, but I did double-dip for the first time this past year, 3x, with Tetris Effect, Hades, and Dragon Quest XI by having them all on PS4/5 and then getting them again on Switch for portability. Dragon's Dogma is definitely on my list for backlog. Unfortunately it's in the...

Pretty much. Most of the important stuff you learn in self-defense classes is in the first 6 months, everything after that is pretty much just stunts and sparring practice in the unlikely event you ever get into an actual martial arts fight with somebody. The actual "self-defense" component...

Speaking of things not looking as dated, I've discovered that PS3 games look WAY better and more passable on an LG C1 than they did on my earlier 4K TVs. Once I upgraded past 50 inches, PS3 games looked terrible on my two 55 inch TVs from 2015 and 2016. Now I've got this new C1 from 2021 and...

lul. My mom has been telling me for years to teach a "self-defense for women" seminar on the weekends since I'm good with women and know self-defense. I keep sort of lightly rejecting the idea. I don't know about spending time around a bunch of women in this day and age. It's somewhat of a...

Got the Blackwood CE from the PS Store, nothing downloaded. I cleared the 80 GB it needed beforehand and everything. Is it an unlock? I.e. nothing to download because the files were already there? How can I check and make sure it actually installed? Cause there's no change in the ESO icon on...

I read the rest of the thread, didn't realize it was only one page. Surprised there isn't more discussion of this game, it's pretty rad. Definitely more fun than Cyberpunk. I don't even really mind the yellow filter, it kind of gives everything a "rust" look that makes the future look dirty like...

In the 12 years or whatever that I spent doing martial arts, I met a lot of weirdoes. Maybe it runs in the industry. My school was pretty chill and full of normal people (western Mass liberals, but back then they were decent and sensible and mostly just didn't want to bomb people...I imagine now...

Damn, that's crazy about Van Damme's height. I'm 5'10'' or so, 5'9'' with no shoes on. I always assumed JCVD was like 4-5 inches taller than me. He's one of those "larger than life" celebrities. Fun Fact: Kiefer Sutherland is also around the same height. Jack Bauer is such an intimidating...

^ Welp...

I've had this game for years, got it for $10 at a yard sale. What's the difference between the regular game and the director's cut? I believe the one I have is the regular version. Just started playing it, about an hour in, and it's pretty cool. Also seems like a fairly basic shooter. Maybe...

Revised my list a bit of things I want to get to. So I'm gonna just grab things off of here for the contest. Don't know where to start. Probably the REs and then roll a die for the next one. Breath of Fire 4 (PS1) Deus Ex Human Revolution (PS3) Deus Ex Mankind Divided Samurai Warriors 5 Modern...

Well, this is pretty cool. I like the look and feel of it a lot, very much like EQ except with 5 more years of evolution. Cat starting area has a pretty impressive sky. Only thing I don't like about it is that it feels so similar to EQ2 that if someone told me this was actually an EQ2...

We have first blood drawn!

Psionicist is a class type I've always wanted to play. Bard sounds super-awesome though. So I might as well flip a coin between them whenever I check this out.

Forget ESO and FF14, I need to play this for my next big MMO binge.

Rampage has been REALLY good, so much so that it's almost like they're saving all the best stuff for it. The stuff that should be closing out Dynamite. It's unfortunate that only like a third to half of the people are watching it as Dynamite. It actually wouldn't kill me if they just moved it...

It's moderately nuts at 115, probably somewhere between the two, but closer to the first. At some point I tried to 3-box Zlandicar with 3 mercs and wasn't able to pull it off, despite having all raid gear from COV. It might have been doable if I'd gotten things "set up" in terms of discs...
