Might have mentioned it already, but those guys made an off-air appearance after Grand Slam and got a massive pop for calling Mayor DeBlasio a bitch. Not to get into politics here in the non-politics thread, but if that kind of anti-Democrat reaction happens in the depths of Queens, NYC, then...

MJF's contract is up in early 2024. He was signed to one of the longest-term contracts of anybody in the company, maybe THE longest. Even the EVPs generally have 3-4 year contracts. We'll see what happens with all of them come 2022-2024. Though it's worth noting that they've been re-negotiating...

Yeah, I'm always telling people, the memories are fond especially if you didn't get to play these things very often. Some of my fondest memories are getting a bunch of quarters just to go play Tekken 2 or Samurai Showdown at a pizza place. I didn't get an NES until 15 years after it came out...

MJF, Ricky Starks, and Ethan Page are incidentally who I consider the future of AEW. Like if the company isn't built around them in five years I'll eat my hat. At least, on the heel side. Hangman, Sammy, and Wardlow are who I see the company being built around on the face side (all due respect...

I was hoping for 1.5m viewers (or whatever is needed to break the AEW record) and was fairly certain they'd handily beat RAW's .49 demo rather than essentially tie. The fact that this didn't get 1.5m is disappointing to me personally because there was zero reason for this to not break their...

I'm just gonna give the first one a spin, 2nd looks too weird. I don't know when though. One of these days I might just set aside a week and plow a bunch of the shorter games I have laying around.

I'd love to see the level 70 expansion idea, with one difference: If you're keeping 3 month cycles for level raises, then have DoN/DoD/PoR all release simultaneously (give OoW its own moment, cause with epics it's fine). That gives said expansion launch AAs and plenty of stuff to last 3 months...

One thing is clear, I need to get Arcade emulation going and finally check out stuff like Aliens and that Double Dragon fighter (that was actually good, not DD5). There are a bunch of other things I missed out on too like King of Fighters / some of the middle Virtua Fighter and Tekken games...

Damn. That show was incredible

RAW went all out this week, and gained almost 10% in viewership. They also set the demo rating at a lofty 0.49 IIRC. AEW Grand Slam has a high bar set for it if they want to beat RAW in the demo for the third straight week. I'm sure they will, but it's funny to see WWE trying to stave them off...

Yeah, I beat this game. The fight with Skynet's CPU is some super-creepy shit. I found the early levels to be the hardest, and after you go back to the present to fight the T-1000 it's generally easier. A lot of Terminator games are like that. There's also a Terminator Salvation arcade game...

Magestorm was pretty sick. It was my first real 3D online game and man was I into it. Sort of EQ before there was EQ, for me. Just tried out this Aliens game. It plays pretty well, but it also feels like it could be a lot more. Or maybe the first area is just really generic, IDK. One of my...

Yeah, I grew up with this guy, lot of respect for him but I don't have high hopes for this. He's sane, but he's also easily swayed by real or perceived injustice. I mean, most people are. That's why so much of The Bullshit is so effective at manipulating Americans, because we're fundamentally...

A friend did it for me, but it seemed pretty simple. Get the right files on a USB thumb drive, get a power cord splitter thing that lets you attach the USB thumb drive and the USB power cord to the same USB jack, start it up. As for the Switch, mine is most likely hackable, since it was the...

So, looks like all of my cryptos took an absolute shit when I wasn't looking. MATIC at 1.13...REALLY wish I'd waited a while longer rather than buying back in at 1.32, but at least it's lower than my previous cost basis of 1.58 or whatever it was. Didn't think MATIC would get this low again...

What kinda hacking we talking about? Like emulators? I've got a modded Playstation Classic that has like 200 PS1 games on it or something like that, plus the full repertoire of NES/SNES/Genesis ROMs. It's pretty awesome.

Might sell my Switch and replace it with a Switch OLED. What are the reasons NOT to do this? People were saying something before about Switch launch models (which this is) being more valuable.

Anyone here ever play Anodyne? It's another indy game with a weird aesthetic that has been described as a Zelda clone. Saw it for $6, and it's only like 6 hours long, so I figure I lose very little by playing it on Switch.

I'm confused about what PS5 can do. No 1440p? But it CAN do 2160p/30, yeah? 1080p/60? Wasn't there something about 1800p for some games? All I know for sure is that PS5 native games look incredible on a 4K TV, better than anything I've ever played before. PS5+4 cross-platform releases like AC...

That's good to know. When I'm in The Northeast I see electric charging stations everywhere, but in a lot of other states I don't really see any. I didn't know Tesla had their own system for drive-mapping that accounts for this. Maybe I'll take a closer look at Teslas. Full electric without...

Same here. I actually tapped out on Judgment and cancelled my LJ preorder. As a guy who loved the fuck out of all seven Yakuza games and REALLY loved the RPG follow-up, I thought for sure that I'd like Judgment. Was hoping it'd be more like a Yakuza 7 that stayed in the original format rather...

I think EQ'S devs put that thing there to shock people who aren't expecting it. So you roll in there ready to clear some trash and then you have the first thing you pull plowing through everybody. Then everyone sits around recovering and you're like "if the first mob was THAT bad, how bad is the...

I don't know, aside from hitting like trucks, they're extremely one-dimensional mobs. Several other bosses in the zone, especially the final boss and one of the snakes, always gave us a lot more grief than they did. Edit: Just realized I can't wait for GoD

Yeah I also love the endless AA grind...when I can solo. It's cool to get on and fight stuff for an hour and have it accomplish something. Depending on class, there are a few points in the game's life cycle where it's easy to run out of AAs to get even if you only play casually...

When I talk about GoD I'm talking about the modern refined version, not the launch version (which I never got to experience). They're two completely different expansions, pretty much. And yeah, if they hadn't gutted the team... people would have very different memories of when the Golden Era...

It's all about the lore. We fought dragons on Antonica and Kunark, now we're fighting them on their home turf. Places like Sleeper's Tomb and NTOV are atmospheric as hell. Also, ice areas in games have this kind of moodiness about them in general that a lot of people enjoy. To me the "Golden...

Are Tesla 3's full electric or can they switch over to gas as a backup? Because 400 miles on a full charge or not, you need gas backup if you plan on ever taking a major road trip. The infrastructure just isn't there for charging. I set up an outlet in the basement so I can charge a car. I'm...

One of my uncles offered to show me how to stash accounts in the Cayman Islands and said it's the only way to not get completely fucked on taxes for crypto earnings. Every time I've heard the words "Cayman Islands" in the past, it was usually connected to some rich shady fuck doing something...

I like the theory that the evolved forms are much older. Maybe an Omega Metroid is just what they look like after 80 years or something along those lines. With no natural predators I would expect them to live for exceedingly long durations. Weird thing is that in Metroid Prime we had a bunch of...

Well, they certainly know how to sell DLC packs

How come Metroids only seem to evolve on the SR388 environment? Every other Metroid game has only had base facehugger form Metroids. (Yes, Fusion has an Omega Metroid and Other M has a Queen, but both of those escaped from Federation labs). Why didn't any Metroids evolve on Zebes? The answer...

How do people here feel about the King of Fighters series? I got to play a lot of KOF XIV (the newest one, I think) in the last couple of years and it's probably my favorite current fighting game. Though admittedly I haven't played that many of them. I kinda want to go back and play the other 13...

MATIC dropped like 10 cents overnight. Urgh. Even with my now much lower cost basis I'm slightly in the red again. Could potentially be a good time to get in on the MATIC action if you aren't and have been waiting for a dip, because 1.25 is pretty damn dipped. YMMV

There's a definite Bayonetta vibe here but I'd compare it more to Metal Gear Rising. At least on the surface. We'll see how it goes. I'd love to play MGR With Hot Chick Instead.

Yeah the SNES Star Wars games were harder than Souls back in their day. I was obsessed with them for a while in 1993-1995. Actually Super Empire Strikes back is the reason I even got into Star Wars to begin with, since it prompted me to go back and watch all of the movies. Previously I'd only...

I'll always say "see-sil"

Funny, I was just wondering if there was a thread on this yet. Yeah, this looks seriously good. Actually excited to play it.

I'll probably wait a bit on selling it then. I've sold hundreds of games over the years, starting with my 90's / 00's collections and then moving on to selling things as I finish with them. Something like AC Valhalla I could expect to recoup at least two thirds of what I spent. Still have a lot...
