@BLUEVOODU
if anybody wants one, better start stocking up on wads of money now. Might have to run the bundles of money through the hay baler just to keep it together.

LOL Nice @mastermario  --> I would go to see them as well

OK... I just bought Terminator 23 in 4K/Blu-ray (double pack) for like $10.  I was hoping to get it cheaper, but a 4k and Blu-ray double pack for $10 new is probably the cheapest I'm going to find this. I was tired of streaming services always offering Terminator 1 but never Terminator 2

Also, I bought a DVD collection of Dark Skies Season 1 (the only season).  It was an X-files type show back in 1996 that aired.  I missed it the 1st time around.  It is interesting and we are currently on Episode 4.  There are parts that are not super polished.  It is pretty good for something 1996 and holds up well to the alien type stories, Roswell, JFK and other incidents.  I saw the creator on a Why Files Basement episode and decided to give it a shot for less than $20

will all this effect the cost with $1000 becoming the norm for a game console?

@retro junkie - Well.... it looks like the increases are occurring for other systems. My guess is that... PS6 could even be higher than $1000

At this point ... the Switch 2 is now becoming the cheapest console AFTER price increases (IF not the cheapest)

PC Rigs, Builds, and Peripheral Devices / Steam Machine Pricing is out!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 01:01:46 PM

Steam Machine pricing is now out and it seems to be higher than expected.  There were many unknowns with the disk and ram price increases.  There is also a waitlist which I am sure is long and the scalpers are out there as well.

You cannot view this attachment.

Steam Machine 512GB                   $1,049
Steam Machine 512GB with Controller   $1,128
Steam Machine 2GB                     $1,349
Steam Machine 2GB with controller     $1,428

@SpartanEvolved and I have been talking about this launch, how hard it is going to be to get a Steam Machine for a while, and the price increases.   

Hard to believe this was announced last year already.  Check out @CreepinDeth's Steam Machine announcement post.   There was a lot of excitement around these launches.

Also check out the Steam Deck Price Increase Thread

Are you still excited?  Thoughts, comments, post it up!

@mastermario man... I don't know about that.  Social media has been in a dark place for many years now.    Musk's foray into social media hasn't really helped the cause... or at least I don't see it.  Chainsaw aside lol.

PC Gaming and Platform / Looking to Create an Automated...

Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 11:06:40 AM

There are some cool things you can do these days with automation.  I'm looking to create an automated Doom II server for chickendinnergaming.com as a side project that has all the files and automatically spins up based on certain details.  It would shutdown / destroy itself when we stop playing to ensure costs are minimal.

Time has been very limited this month.. but I think it would be a fun project.

Would you use it @mastermario @Grindspine @SpartanEvolved @targetrasp @Bomberman @Jack @Polygon @CreepinDeth @trkorecky ?  I think it would be fun to try to get Doom II multiplayer rocking again.

Microsoft - Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Xbox 360 / Xbox Nostalgia - NHL Hitz 2002

Last post by BLUEVOODU - Today at 06:49:52 AM

My buddy sent this to me yesterday.  It. Brought back a lot of memories:

https://x.com/Xbox_Nostalgia/status/2071441971202412807

We used to play NHL Hitz on the GameCube all the time.  It's one of my favorite gaming memories for whatever reason.  Even @Grindspine was in on it.  Everything was perfect, in my opinion, especially the Limp Bizkit Air Ride intro song (Rollin Rollin Rollin ... what?!)

I will forever hear the announcers call when I chose my players:
konowalchuk, Bondra, Jagggrrrrrr

Did you play NHL Hitz 2002?  Do you have good memories? Post it up!

PC Gaming and Platform / Steam Summer Sale 2026

Last post by BLUEVOODU - June 28, 2026, 09:06:33 AM

IT is going on right now... The Steam Summer Sale for 2026!  These were always exciting times for me in the past... especially back in the 2010-2014 time frame. I didn't see a lot of good deals that I wanted this year.  However, I ended up buying Overload (from the makers of Descent) for a few dollars.

Have you checked it out?  Found anything that you like?   If you purchase, post it up!
