I just grabbed Ys 8 on PSN, it's on a really good sale. Unfortunately for Ys 7 I'll need to jump through some hoops to play it (either find a PSP or get a PSP emulator). Wish it had a console port like all of the others.

https://products.4patriots.com/food/4week/good-for-25-years Anyone have any experience with this company? Looks like a pretty good value. Problem is, it looks too good. I might get one and let everyone know how it is if no one knows.

Yeah, he did a lot of things. I'm just spotlighting The Hateful Eight because it has other Thing inspirations behind it as well and is very worth seeing for Thing fans.

Too late. Thanks for getting me swatted by the FBI!

I'm still on Season 2 so far, great show. Is it bad that I think that the daughter and the rival (Peyton List) are both really hot, especially when they face off, even though I'm like 15 years older than they are? And is it bad that I'm hoping that eventually they'll put aside their differences...

So with Ys IX on the way in a few weeks I was thinking about picking it up at launch. Have a few questions about the other Ys games in the meantime. -I've played Ys 6 and the remakes of Ys 1-3. Someday I'd like to go back and emulate the first five in their original, super-hard (at least in 3's...

The music really is good, between Morricone and Carpenter. Morricone also did the score for The Hateful Eight, which definitely has a lot of The Thing inspiration and is worth seeing.

My vote for the next thread: Original Terminator (plus discussion of any other Terminators, but especially the first).

Gotta say this burst of discussion about this movie was unexpected and cool.

People aren't ranking their lists? You gotta rank your lists. #1 - The Thing (1982) #2 - Terminator (1984) #3 - Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1977) #4 - Big Trouble in Little China #5 - Aliens #6 - Fight Club #7 - Terminator 2 #8 - John Wick #9 - Predator #10 - Gladiator HMs: Fast and...

Yeah, I don't consider any of the comics to be canon. I picked up the Thing video game for OG Xbox (there's also a PS2 version) for like $10 at a flea market a while back. Haven't played it yet because it requires digging the OG Xbox out of storage. It's also a sequel. I'll need to be in the...

There was an infected dog un-accounted for? Pretty sure earlier in the movie they mentioned that they'd put down all of the remaining dogs that were exposed, and presumably torched them. We don't see it because we don't need to see that, but it's mentioned. I think.

The speculation about Childs (and the ending in general) is the main reason I still talk about the movie with people decades later. I love that it doesn't have a happy or neat conclusion where everyone turns out fine. Personally I'm 50/50 on Childs' identity at the end of the movie. The breath...

Checking that out. I see right at the start that they've got Childs penned as a Thing. If there was any time where he got switched, it was while he was guarding that door. There's a decent book of short stories inspired by Who Goes There, available on Amazon: Amazon.com: Short Things: Tales...

Oh boy, Carpenter's The Thing is my favorite movie of all time. It doesn't even have competition, though the original Terminator, Big Trouble in Little China (also from Carpenter), and Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1977 version) are the closest things to being competition for me. That's my...

I thought Man of Steel was pretty good for what it was. Liked the darker tone of things like that and the Nolan Batmans compared to what Marvel was doing. My main beef with the DCU is that they didn't continue along that vein with the other movies. There didn't seem to be any kind of schedule or...

I was actually planning on resuming my chanter on Aradune for Luclin because AE groups would be fun and catching up would be a snap. Well...nevermind, I guess. Things like this should be handled on a case-by-case basis. I could see situations where AEing is actually considered zone disruption...

Sketch approximation of Skwishy IRL:

I should check out Shazam. I've seen everything else (except BoP) and didn't think I was missing anything. If people are ranking it at #1 or #2 for DC movies then I'll definitely give it a look.

I've got a question for the musically-inclined here. I've been wanting to get a real music keyboard since I was a kid playing on a mini-casio. It just sorta left my mind for a long time until recently when I was taking a look at some Masterclass videos on keyboard-playing and the urge struck...

Since PoG is getting discussed here...anyone remember what the deal is with abstruse phantasm? I've looked for it in both static and instanced PoG, cleared the zone, everything.

We've got the finest toxic harassers here, don't we folks!

Yeah, after I processed the grief today I found myself pissed-off at the way WWE held him hostage for so long. It seemed like he was just getting started in AEW and I couldn't wait to see him finally reach his potential. What an awful day.

Been seeing ads for this everywhere, it's playable on PS5, and Nova is pretty hot. Considering giving it a go. Like the look of the Witch class. Only problem is I've got a lot to do in EQ and I've still got LOTRO and FF14 to get into at some point when EQ dies down. Adding another MMO is...

The only time I like "hero immediately loses all of their powers" as a trope is when some video games do it. Your Metroid Primes, your God of Wars. You get to play an intro area with most of your powers, to see what you've got to look forward to, and then the game lets you go out and collect all...

Look at these fucking idiots! Literally the only true words in either tweet are "in Kenosha"

...and I'm back. Ever think you want something, then you get it and realize you super don't want it?

I like the idea of Yoda as Mister Miyagi, calmly side-stepping his opponents and using their weight against them. To me that indicates "true master" a lot more than doing all kinds of flips does. Episode 2 Yoda was just a victim of the same fighting style that plagued everyone in Episode 3, the...

The Acclaimed are tremendous. A lot of babies on the internet are upset about them already because they made a vague incest joke about the Young Bucks, and because they said "cuck" on TV. Jeeeesus.

What's the role of a chanter mid-fight on raids circa Velious/Luclin? If I find some time to go back and raid a bit I'd like to know what I'm doing. Between fights I'm buffing and so forth, so the question is more for during the actual fights. Obviously rebuffing important people if they die is...

I didn't know Witcher 3 was getting a free current-gen makeover. Makes me feel a lot better about never getting around to it previously.

I dropped some adderall for this myself, good times. Forgetting to eat is a bonus, less lost time. Back in the day I'd chug a Redline, but one day I had too much of that stuff and got queasy as fuck. The warning labels aren't lying.

Jesus Christ. I read that thread for the 2-3 minutes I could tolerate. Everyone with even a remotely different opinion is just getting insta-banned it looks like. Just innocuous shit like "Eh, I don't really care", ban. Things that around here would be considered bland, moderate, fence-sitter...

That's what happened to me with Fallout 4. Did basically everything in the base game and the first major DLC, didn't get to the second DLC, now finding it very hard to go back to it. I was pretty close to platinuming the whole thing so it keeps bothering me that I haven't gone back and finished...

Guys I've encountered a bug! I was driving around and saw this giant obese man sauntering around. I was like hey, I wonder if this game lets you run people over without repercussions. So I backed up and plowed through the guy, then backed up to roll over him and he was gone. Just poof. Also...

Mine arrived (PS4 version), been installing it on the PS5 for like an hour and counting. Probably the longest install I've seen yet on a console. The outer case says you can upgrade it to the PS5 version for free, with no fine print about that coming out later. Sounds like the PS5 version is...

Focus is important for a game like this, so I've been clearing the deck too. Since it looks like Cyberpunk won't get here until Friday, I've got just enough time to finish FF7R which I've been working on...have one fight left really, but it's the optional uberbosses.

I don't think I know anyone who has beaten Valhalla at this point. Know a lot of people are playing it, myself included, but all of them keep putting it aside for other things, having issues getting it done. It being this like 70-hour monstrosity doesn't help. They took Odyssey's one negative...

One of the zones (Cobalt Scar) is combined with Siren's Grotto, so if you want to fudge the numbers it's 7 retextured zones. I like the story at least, dragons are cool.
