Yeah I think I'll just pay the full MSRP rather than invite in whatever headaches these might be. Surprised to see such sketchy activity allowed to go on in such abundance. Pro probably isn't worth the upgrade, but it has significant boosts to 8 of the 12 or so games left on my PS5 shortlist.

What's with the multitude of PS5 Pros on Ebay that are all listed by accounts with zero feedback ratings? Most of them are in the 400's too, while the MSRP is $750... the hell?

What's rustling my jimmies: Was parked and getting out of my Tesla on the side of a residential street (25 MPH speed limit). As I was walking around to the back of the car (to get out of the street) someone in a particularly filthy Subaru hybrid coming from the opposite direction (so in the...

I've had this happen multiple times. Something is marked as delivered, it isn't there, I file a complaint, it shows up days later. They need to stop doing this and get a better system going.

Having this annoying issue with USB thumb drives and not being able to move videos off of the PS5. I had a thumb drive for years that worked fine, but it eventually got broken. I tried a couple other old, smaller drives lately and they all do this. Got a new good-sized one that is USB 3.2 and...

So, is the PS5 Pro worth getting before the price goes up? I don't expect to see PS6 for a while. My PS5 is getting pretty long in the tooth (I got it on day one) and I could recoup almost half the Pro's current cost by selling my PS5 while it is still in great working condition. Thinking about...

I mean, probably. Mr. Nobody from JW4 is probably the next most interesting thing they can follow up on, after Caine and the daughter. Ballerina was a bit pointless (why introduce a new character for a spinoff when we have multiple spinoff-worthy characters already?) but I'm looking forward to...

No one gives a fuck about whether she's gay or not. Jesus H, this thread is stupid. Just a bunch of people hating on shit and half of it isn't even sensical. Let's see how this thing turns out, ya? I mean, I wasn't planning on trying it, but if it's good, it might be like a second THJ that...

Looks like the CAINE spinoff is a go. No John Wick in this one and it likely takes place after JW4. He'll be hunted by the daughter of the Japanese guy, most likely. Fuckin' Donnie Yen, man. I've been watching this guy for 26 years and it's good to see him finally hit it big. ......also he...

I lost all interest in this when they got rid of Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega over being mildly critical of Israel. Scream 5 and 6 did a great job building towards a final act with those two, specifically Barrera's character's family lineage leaving her with hereditary mental issues. Her...

Why the hell are they jumping prices like that? +20% on the PS5 Pro. Never seen anything like it. They noticed Nintendo's fans give them a total pass on being greedy, and decided it was time to do the same?

I think you're right. Architecture is being held back a little bit to accomodate old generations. It's a bit like when a new console generation comes out and most of the first year of games are cross-platform with the previous gen. That always frustrated the hell out of me. It was especially...

It's funny how, from these two sentences, I don't even have to ask what political side they're on.

Yeah, the lameness of this system isn't all that surprising. Prime 4 was depressing. Kart World is a significant step down from Kart 8 Deluxe. Eventually it'll get a 2D Mario, a Zelda, a 3D Mario. What about the other 50 weeks of the year though?

You know you need to get out more when you look at this and think "damn, that's one lucky boar"

I hope it does well. It's cool to see something actually new being tried.

Well I did it, I beat Nioh 1. That game is HARD, especially the final battle (Orochi, not the final final thing). Sloth didn't trivialize it nearly as much as people say it does. Went with Axe and heavy use of Sloth, Weakness, and Pleaides+Energize (or whatever that other talisman that starts...

Not sure where this would go thread-wise but I realized something major about Star Trek Enterprise, that ill-fated show from the beginning of the 2000's. This week I rewatched Beyond for the first time since I saw it in theaters. Movie is a bit dull, not real keen on the 3 Abrams-Trek movies to...

This is tremendous, the kind of thing that would turn things around a bit for the Switch 2. Mario 64 remaster + lost levels being completed. This and an Ocarina remake (not a remaster, a full modern remake for that one, spend some money Nintendo).

I definitely prefer the back half of every season being in France. The first half feels like a regular show, while the back half feels more RPG-ish with the old historic environments and the cold weather. One of the Highlander blogs I read had a good policy on The Source: Turn it off once The...

The Duende episode in Highlander Season 5 is kind of fascinating. It has one of the biggest immortal threats in the series with Otavio Consone, plus what might be the best fight scene in the entire series. The actor that played Consone (seen here) was actually the runner-up to star as Duncan if...

RIP Nicholas Brendan, who played Xander on Buffy. Guy was only 54. Last time I saw him he was on Doctor Phil, and seemed like he had a lot of problems. That's a damn shame.

I watched Red Son tonight. Was a lot better than Fantastic Four: First Steps which I watched early this morning. However I'm curious as to how much SJW manipulation went into this project. There was a lot of "men are evil" from Wonder Woman, the evil Superman clone going "America First!" was...

Finally watched this movie. It was probably the single dumbest movie I've watched in years. The 60's futuristic aesthetic was awesome. Felt like what a 50's comic would have viewed the future as being like, with the overwhelming optimism of the era. Flying cars, space travel, a "bubble" design...

She sounds almost exactly like the woman I was with for most of the 2010s. Great bod, great sex, super horny, huge nerd, submissive, needs a lot of alone time to deal with her issues, came over on the weekends. We were together on and off and were FWBs even when we were off. To the detriment of...

The back half of Season 1 is good. The only time the show is truly not good is the majority of the first 12 episodes of S1 and the majority of S6's 13 episodes. Like ten out of each are subpar. The series starts weak and ends weak, with a ton of good the rest of the time. Adrian Paul had fully...

Doesn't matter, in Marvel movies, the women are all booked like 1980's Hulk Hogan Was hilarious when the Silver Surfer easily fought off the three dudes and then was basically even with Sue, I knew Marvel Hulkster Booking was alive and well. If you want to neuter a bad guy in Marvel, just send...

You call the show stupid despite having never watched it, cool. It doesn't get amazing until about halfway through Season 2 when everything it put together up to that point clicks together and starts paying dividends. It's a bit of a teen drama at times but it's better than it has any right to...

-Animated -No Whedon -This guy (who is totally entitled to his beliefs...on his own time) probably injecting tons of partisan politics into it. How's he gonna work with Adam Baldwin then? Kill off Jayne in episode 1? Show has a lot going against it. I could probably deal with two out of three...

That's hilarious. Whenever I check out a movie from the library there's a 50/50 chance that it starts to have skip issues when it gets to a sex scene. I picked up Firefly not long ago and paid 2x as much for the blu-ray, mainly because they tend to resist scratching a lot better than DVDs. Just...

Holy shit, that's awesome. Almost every date I ever went on off of a dating app, the woman in person looked like 7 years older than her pictures (and when the 7 years in question are, say, 28 to 35, that might as well be 50 years). I don't see many women using this app, as a result. It'll weed...

So, this is what I should have been doing all this time...

It's true, Bret pinned a lot of stuff on Goldberg that he shouldn't have. You have a responsibility to protect the other guy in the ring, but you also have a responsibility to protect yourself, especially against a green opponent. People always talk about Arquette, but at the time that it aired...

Wish I could remember more details about the one I had that stopped working. It was basically a handheld floodlight, probably like 12000 lumens. All I know is I could light up the far side of a river that's roughly 200 feet wide. Used it to patrol said river a few years ago when I kept hearing...

Anyone have advice on buying flashlights? I got an extremely powerful floodlight back in 2020 that just died off after several years (with minimal use, no less). I need to replace the big floodlight I had, and I'd like to also get two smaller flashlights that are powerful enough to cut through...

This series has some real lookers in it. The Big Four are Leon, Claire, Chris, Jill. Has there ever been a game where all four of them were playable, or at least were all major characters together onscreen? Maybe RE6.

Got to Leon getting the shotgun and fighting THE BEBEH as OSW would say. Major cliffhanger with Grace. How far into the game is that?

The best advertising I've seen for why the Switch is worth a damn at this point. In the last few years I've seen quite a few people going on about the Switch 1 being the best system, who never play it portable and keep it in docked mode on the TV. Have to wonder what they're smoking. The only...

RE8 is really good, more of a first person shooter than a survival horror game. First thing I've played since Bloodborne to really capture the Bloodborne vibe. It's a good thing to rent, borrow, or get from a library and have a decent weekend run. RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake are the other two REs...

I was talking about having a soft spot for FF8. Well, FF12 is also really underrated. Lot of people dislike it because it's got different mechanics. Well, it's a very solid game on pretty much every level. Visuals are unique, sound is awesome (same composer as FFT), the gambit system is actually...
