I've owned this domain for the longest time.  I put up a quick fan site - still editing some parts of it... and will be on the side here and there.  There are a few other features potentially planned - IE reviews page, and a few other simple features.  I might also have a separate page for the arcade game with information on the arcade version of U.N. Squadron.  It really is supposed to be a quick fan site.  My idea was to have several different fan sites across the Internet to just have something fun to see and visit... to stumble upon. 

Check it out:

  • If you click the page, the music should play.  There is also a music control in the bottom right of the screen lol  ;D

I also mentioned this in this thread:

If you'd like to help with reviews or anything else, please let me know.  Also, what are your thoughts?  Next edits I'm trying to work on is adding the  animated title screen as a background to the top.  So far, it's too busy. 


Thoughts, comments... Post it up!

@retro junkie  --> I thought Season 10 (2016) was pretty rough, but it's interesting that they had a covid like plot lol.  Season 11 (2018), I liked a lot more.  It felt more refined and flowed a lot better.

I re-watched Terminator 2 not that long ago.  If you compare the camera look (blu-ray to blu-ray)... the colors and motion are VERY similar.  Just looked it up... it looks like they did use the same gear for at least seasons 1-5 lol.  :great:

@BLUEVOODU
In the Xfiles there is just something about the cinematography and directing that they have not been able to reproduce. I am thinking of when they were trying to make a comeback with the original actors a few years ago. The comeback just fell flat. The characters were just cardboard stand-ups of the original series. The styling and feel was lost. I am thinking that the original crew that put that whole thing together made their mark on that show plus the era in which that whole thing came together, just can't do it again. It was unique.

@retro junkie  - we have been thinking of Star Gate and Deep Space 9.  There was another Star Trek we are looking at --> The Next Generation.  The Box Set goes on sale here and there, but hasn't for awhile.  It's still really high though for the complete collection.


We were binging Star Trek Generations again.  Man that theme song LOL  :))

We made it about half way through X-Files season 1 again.  Such a great show.  The filming is excellent even by today's standards.

got it @retro junkie  -  I was thinking maybe we could all get together and bomb the crap out of each other LOL.   :great:


I think @targetrasp bought the PS5 version... I might go that route.  I MIGHT buy Switch as well (for portal bomberman...) if it goes on big sale.    Portal Bomberman  ???  man... that sounds awesome.  ;D

I played PSP online a lot with SOCOM... what a fun game on PSP.  Man, that was forever ago.

I really don't do any online gaming anymore. The last time I did a long time ago. It might have been the Vita or the PSP, maybe the 3DS? Not sure. I just know it was a fighting game and a got my tail handed to me by a kid. I did play a game on the Vita for a while that was online, it was Ragnarok Odyssey. It was the most online gaming that I have ever been involved. A lot of people played that game back then. I have never paid to play online.

I wouldn't mind having one, but the price of admissions is an X file in itself.

I have been into Star Gate Universe (just started the second season) and also Fringe. I went from Deep Space 9, which was the last time I posted in this thread, to ST: Discovery, then to ST: Strange new worlds. I have three seasons of both. I have read a lot about season 4 of strange new worlds and I am sort of on the fence whether I want to go beyond the third season. I totally dislike the fact that what they call a season now-a-days is at best 13 episodes. That is just not enough. When you have 22 or 25 episodes then whenever they have one of those daffy episodes that causes you to grit your teeth there is enough to balance out the series and accept it as a fluke and move on. It is sad because Strange New Worlds has some great actors that are top notch and I like seeing them perform. Whoever is responsible for this, I think they are wasting a good moment. I went back to the original Star Trek before heading into where I am now.

I have been thinking about X Files while watching Fringe.......
