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...

I've thought about this a bit myself. A 5th merc type would really freshen things up. However, the tough part is figuring out what class could fill a role that's at-all different from those four. Bard and chanter are too complicated, melee, tank, and damage casters are redundant. Which leaves me...

What about MW3? And this new one? I still would rather wait for MW3R so I can do all 3 in high-def...assuming it's gonna be along some time soon. Unless MW3 sucks?

I don't, but everyone's been raving about how FF14's story arc just wrapped up and how it's a good time to play it start to finish etc etc.

Naw, I mean level to max while experiencing a good amount of relevant content. Blasting to max grinding a mission over and over is pointless. I hated when EQ introduced Gribbles missions and all people did for leveling was those for like 3 years. They were dull as shit. Sounds like ESO is a...

Oh yeah, I need to watch season 4. I hope Samantha and Tori finally get it out of their system and just fuck each other. Also Sam is lowkey the real villain of the series, even though Tori is supposed to be the evil one. Everything Sam does sucks and makes everything worse.

I'm one of the people that likes COD single-player campaigns and I just recently finished Vanguard and Cold War. Liked CW a lot. Also COD WW2 was pretty great, and I even liked Advanced Warfare and Ghosts. I've never played any of the Modern Warfares though. When they were current, I wasn't...

I've checked out both MH4U and Generations Ultimate in the past week (just briefly on both counts, don't want to ruin MH3U which is the one I'm actually playing). GU on Switch really does look like a huge step up from 4U, which looks like a huge step up from 3U. I came here to say that I'm...

LOLOL Sammy's haters can suck it

Yeah, I feel like an MMO nomad even though I'm still working on EQ when I can, sporadically. I still need to do the FF14 story run, and I have a ton of unfinished business in LOTRO. Would also like to do some Vanguard and FF11 on emulator servers since I totally missed out on them. All this in...

This does look pretty entertaining otherwise, but I hope DC starts taking its DCU seriously soon because nothing DC feels like it matters when there's no narrative thread pulling it all together. Shazam is a great movie, but is it leading anywhere? Why should anyone care about WW84 and Aquaman...

Yay, another show/movie where the main male character gets treated like dogshit by the main female character who is also better at everything than him. The show is called Peacemaker, not whatever her name is. They did the same shit to Shang-Chi in his own movie, except without the "treated...

He's the protagonist of the company. The good guy hero. Like Jax in Sons of Anarchy. The audience stand-in, the guy we identify with. He's got problems but he fights through them, kind of thing. His "beer drinking party animal" persona was a good time, but now they can't go back to it because...

That's what I thought, thanks for confirming. LOTRO does the same thing as far as DLC/expansions go where the expansions are separate from like quest packs and other smaller additions, and at least in that game it makes for a confusing setup. I'm sure ESO is at least clearer about what's what...

Couple dumb questions about the PS5 version of this. Already had the base PS4 version from dicking around with it back in the day, got the free PS5 upgrade and installed that instead. -There's also a $5.99 version that includes Morrowind. I'm guessing this is completely redundant now...

The guy who plays nu-morpheus has been in EVERYTHING lately. Anyone else notice that "hologram nu-morpheus" in the real world scenes looked just like those George Floyd statues? Or maybe I'm seeing things.
