I found Angry Birds Star Wars new for the PSVita for around $10.00 .. I ended up buying it.  I played this game for the PS4... but thought it would be fun to have it for the PSVita.

Does anyone else have it?  I doubt many people still play the PSVita anymore.  I know @retro junkie has his... but not sure who else here still has their Vita.

It's been awhile.. but finally breaking out Animal Crossing New Leaf again.  I have about 3 fossils left to collect... and working on completing a few things.

I know most people have moved on to the Switch version, but is anyone still playing this game?

Happy Birthday @Grindspine --> A Day late, however, please enjoy your digital cake.

We just got out of the theatre for Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1... the movie is great. I don't know if anyone has plans to see this... but I highly recommend. 

The movie start to finish sans a couple parts is 100% solid. 

Anyone looking forward to this movie?  Thoughts, comments... Post it up

For those who are fans of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this marks the 2nd film of the animated series.   Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is follows along with the same animation style.

We ended up seeing it in theatres last weekend.  It was still the cool animation style.  There were a number of unexpected twists... we cannot wait for the 3rd installment of the series.  IT's hard to say whether the 1st or 2nd movie was better. So far, both have been well done.

Who saw this movie? or are you looking forward to the movie?  post it up!

 

I've been waiting for Secret Invasion for a long time.  If I remember right, it was delayed at least once as well. It just came out!

So far, this show is off to an interesting start.  I think they did pretty well and the list of actors is awesome.  I'm glad to see Nick Fury back at it (this is obviously not a spoiler). I won't go too far for now to avoid spoilers.

Who's pumped for Secret Invasion?   Have you been looking forward to it starting?  Post it up!

Well... I finally get around to playing G Darius last weekend.  It truly is a bizarre title.  Even in the HD remaster setting, G Darius is still a bit rough on the eyes.  But... if you go back to the original, you REALLLLY see how rough it was.

I originally mentioned the game in this discount game thread: G Darius - PS4

The Fish based bosses are pretty crazy.  I guess I missed this game as I don't recognize it at all.  It looks like it was originally released on the Playstation.  Did any play this on the Playstation in it's original iteration?

I played Andro Dunos on the Neo Geo.  I just ran across this on Amazon:

Andro Dunos 2 - Nintendo Switch

Has anyone else looked into this game?  If so, what are your thoughts.  It was never my favorite, but I'm a shmup addict.

Just a heads up, the host is having issues with their upstream network provider. You may run into issues using and viewing the site.

Hopefully they'll be mitigated soon.

Dead Man's Draw is not a new title... but I have played it for years now.

It's a simple pirate themed card game that changes based on traits equipped by the computer opponent and yourself.  It has pretty good action sounds and addictive music.   It's not a super complicated card game.  I've enjoyed playing it quite a bit over the years.


Have any of you played Dead Man's Draw?

Happy Birthday @Mai Valentine !  We hope it's a great day and enjoy your digital cake!! 

We haven't seen you around for awhile!  If you get the gift of gaming, post up your loot!

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3... and wow... what a movie.  It hits the emotions hard, but is also a great showing for Guardians.  It also appears to be the last one.  IMO they left it open for more if they wanted to do it.  I thought the movie was great... really liked it, though there are many scenes that are hard to watch.

Before commenting more... who saw the movie?  what are your thoughts?

Alright... has anyone been watching?  So far, this season started out great. I think we are at episode 3 now.  Good story, always aweome... I Want more.

Dariusburst: Another Chronicle Ex+ - PlayStation 4 - Amazon.com


On sale. 11% off... not a ton, but it's a shooter I have on my list.

My Steam Deck sat uncharged for a few weeks.  I charged it and turned it back on.  I know this worked a few weeks ago.

Once my Steam Deck finished charged, I turned it on. The screen was of normal resolution.  Oddly enough, I started using it, and the screen zoomed out as if it was a much larger resolution where everything on-screen was very small. 

I then tried to message someone, and the on-screen keyboard didn't come up until I close chat. However, I cannot message anyone. No matter what I do, the chat screen comes up, but the on-screen keyboard doesn't show up and I can't get it to show up.

I've ensured all updates were performed, restarted the Deck, shut it down... etc. no dice.

Has anyone else run into this?  It's quite frustrating. 

I was pumped when they announced Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.  It's now out, we saw it, and it was spectacular.

In my opinion, the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a heavy hitter and one of Marvel's strongest movies in awhile.  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a strong showing, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was well done, Spider-Man: No Way Home was massive, and let's not forget several of the Disney+ Series as well as other strong titles such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

It's hard for me to say it's better than all the others, so I will refrain from that.  However, it's an amazing movie.    No Spoilers on this round as well 

Who has seen this movie?  what are your thoughts?  Post it up!

Happy Birthday @SpartanEvolved !  I hope you have an awesome birthday.  Enjoy your digital cake!

And .. while your digital distro'd games are not near as exciting as @retro junkie 's, if you get the gift of gaming, POST IT UP!   

Happy Birthday @retro junkie .  I hope it's a great one!  Also... enjoy your digital cake.  And also also.. I know you get some of the best birthday swag.  Don't forget to post up your birthday spoils   

I missed this in December 2022... and then the subsequent returns Google provided in January 2023.   It looks like Google Stadia is dead.

DO you think this a Cloud Gaming trend?  more to come?  Or is this Just Google bowing out of a market segment?

Not sure why, but after the upgrade, only @Helskyth 's birthday exists.  Looks like everyone else's are gone... or are not displayed... OR something else happened in the upgrade.   I still this set on many profiles... but calendar wise, I'm not seeing them (if you did want them displayed).  Checking into if there's a new permission (Etc).


Just a heads up, as that will impact emails and topics - IF YOU WANTED that information displayed.  If you wanted it hidden,  no problem as well.

It looks like we didn't have a Bad Batch season 1 topic... however, Season 2 has started.  I couldn't wait for this to start again. Season 1 of the Bad Batch was awesome.  Bad Batch Season 2 has been awesome so far.  Great Story... great animation... and the characters and stories are awesome.

Who is watching??

A little early... but Happy New Year Everyone!

How is it 2023 already?  Crazy stuff... Have a wonderful and safe time!

We saw Black Panther: Wakanda Forever last night... almost forgot it was in theaters with the busy schedule we had over the last 2 months.  The trailers DID NOT do this movie justice.  It did not look like it was going to be good.. however, that's FAR from reality for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.

This movie started off with an AWESOME tribute to Chadwick Boseman.  Truly spectacular.  The movie was great, action and flow were better than the original Black Panther IMO... but without Chadwick Boseman... which was hard to see Black Panther without him.

Has anyone else checked this movie out? Comments, Thoughts... Post it up!

Forum upgrades are now finished.  There are some new features... and a little bit of an upgraded look.

Please let me know your thoughts. There are likes on posts now... as well as posting images in the forum with drag and drop under "attachments and other options." 

So far, the dark theme had to be removed... and I'm still fixing some of the images.  If you see missing images or anything else, please let me know as well.  This was a disruptive upgrade.  More features will be coming soon.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays from Chickendinnergaming!  Thank you for being a part of this community!

I hope you are able to find peace, health, and happiness during the season... AND that all is well for you and yours.

I've been playing Minecraft Dungeons with my son over the last year... and have just platinum trophied the original game.  Minecraft Dungeons is a pretty fun game.  I will post up another topic in regard to it in the near future.

This is platinum trophy #8... on the limited gaming time I've had over the last few years.

We happened to stumble onto this show on Disney+.  It's about a band of special kids solving a problem in somewhat of an intellectual way.  In Season 1, they have to face an "emergency."  It is interesting as there are tie-ins with how the world seems to be during the pandemic and even "post" pandemic (not in pandemic / disease topics).

While it is a younger show, we thought it was well written and acted.   Has anyone else checked this out?

Hey Everyone - Happy Thanksgiving - Early. 

I hope it's a wonderful holiday for you and yours.

IF you haven't been to the forums and Discord in awhile, please drop by and say hi! 

What are your favorite games to play on the Steam Deck?  In some cases, I find there's a vast library... and then I also see many titles aren't supported or require external software.   I have about 10-12 games that I WANT to play on it... with options for about 10% of my library... many more if I put time into the compatibility.

In the past, I haven't been the biggest Atari fan.  I did like the Jaguar and Lynx.   However, this looks like a cool steel book Switch collection.
Atari 50: Steelbook Edition - Nintendo Switch

It's $50 at this time.

Just a heads up... in the next couple weeks, I will upgrade the forums to the newest version.  This is a new version, so some stuff will be added and there will be  changes in terms of some functions.

If there are questions, please let me know. The theme(s) should be the same for now, but could also look slightly different. 

Additional functions  that will be there, you will now be able to insert images directly in posts. 

Also -

• A new WYSIWYG editor SCEditor.
• HTML5 attachment uploading (including
• drag and drop)
• Drafts.
• Likes.
• Mentions.
• Alerts for new likes, mentions, private messages, etc.
• Event times and time zones in the Calendar.
• Time zone selection; manual hourly offsets are a thing of the past

@targetrasp - lol 

For those interested, decent deal on the Top Gun Maverick steel book:

I partook in this one.

Every once in awhile... it's cool to browse Lego sets.   I'll create a thread here and there on some of these sets.   Check out the following sets... they're pretty cool:

LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama 75330 Building Set

LEGO Ideas Fender Stratocaster 21329 Building Set

Just a few ... thought they were cool.  Getting  to that time of the year, maybe some gift ideas.   Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up!

Happy Halloween everyone... anyone have plans?

Also, Check out @Grindspine Halloween Jokes thread here for more Halloween fun.

Has anyone checked Starship Troopers: Terran Command out?   If so, what are your thoughts?  I've wanted a game like this ever since all the StarCraft mods / levels were created. I even created a couple at one point. 

Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Steam

It looks interesting. I'm thinking about picking it up.  It also does not have Steam Deck support at this time.

Has anyone bought this yet?  I bought it and haven't cracked it open yet.   I love Splatoon 1 and 2... great games... and they're super fun.  It's a bit surprising to see a 3rd Splatoon released.  However, it is welcome.

We have been extremely busy with personal family events over the last 3-4 weeks.  It's been hard keeping up on everything with all the things that happened.  We knew the new Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series was on Amazon and have been eagerly awaiting for it's launch.  I think the 1st previews came out back in February if I'm correct... and we have been waiting since that time.

The series does not disappoint.  The filming is great, acting has been great... outfits, props, scenery.... all top notch.  It is highly recommended!   Who is watching this series?

There also appears to be a lot of drama out there from a small faction of fans.  I'm not going into all the drama right now, but it's fairly unwarranted.

@Grindspine --> Happy belated birthday.  I already wish you a happy birthday, but missed your topic.

If you received the gift of gaming, post it up!

Did anyone have a chance to see the movie Nope?   We heard it was a bit different and checked it out in the theaters.  The overall movie was decent... the concept was pretty cool.   It was more sci-fi than horror (which is good in my opinion)... but they may have overdone it a bit on the violence demonstrating how predators attack.  It does lead into proving a point (or trying to prove a point).

The concept they use for Aliens is a very interesting take.  A lot of the movie is slow going... but that's ok by me.

Has anyone else seen this movie?  Do you want to see it and are waiting for it to become a rental?  It's not mind blowing, but it's definitely cool to see a different take on a topic.

We started watching this awhile back due to @Grindspine recommendation.  We watched the animated movie... then started into the series.  It started a bit rough  but is smoother in Season 2.  We are about half way through Season 2.

Not sure why, I just never gave Star Wars: The Clone Wars the time of day ... partly I didn't have time to check it out either.  But going back into it, it's a pretty good view.   Will be adding this to the binge watching topic!

What are your thoughts on the series?  I'm sure most of everyone has finished the series by now.  Post it up!
