Sony - PlayStation 5 (PS5), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PS Vita, and PlayStation 3 (PS3) / Re: Sony could delay PS6 relea...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - June 30, 2026, 01:03:09 PMQuote from: retro junkie on June 03, 2026, 03:45:11 PMwill 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
Also Check out these topics:
Steam Deck Price Increases
Steam Machine Prices
At this point ... the Switch 2 is now becoming the cheapest console AFTER price increases (IF not the cheapest)

Last post by BLUEVOODU - June 30, 2026, 01:01:46 PMSteam 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.

@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.

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

General Discussion / Re: Age Verification??????
Last post by BLUEVOODU - June 30, 2026, 11:44:54 AM@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 - June 30, 2026, 11:06:40 AMThere 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 - June 30, 2026, 06:49:52 AMMy 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 AMIT 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!

Arcade / Re: If You Could Buy 1 Arcade ...
Last post by BLUEVOODU - June 28, 2026, 09:02:01 AM@mastermario both of those arcade games were awesome. There was a PS3 version of NBA Jam back in 2010 that was pretty good.
NFL Blitz is probably one of my most played arcade games ... easy top 10
