Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 16, 2025, 12:50:53 PM

We have the "What gaming related trends or favorites have grown off of you?" Topic.  Over time, tastes change, circumstances change... etc.  This brings the question, What Gaming Trends have you grown into?  I mentioned this would be a great topic as @retro junkie mentioned it.  I took the liberty of creating the topic lol. 

Here's the "What gaming related trends or favorites have grown off of you?" :

Hawkeye was good. Have you watched the recent Daredevil season?

@mastermario -- Unfortunately, No.  Earlier this year, we cancelled pretty much all of the subscription services to which we were subscribed.  I don't think we will be getting back into Disney+.   

The serious sounds awesome... heard it is amazing. Maybe we need a topic

Alright, so I went ahead and listened to this song and album and I still don't know how I feel about it. I almost think that Mike Mangini might actually be a better fit as a drummer for them in this stage of their career. It's not bad but feels like they're trying to create '90's era Dream Theater but unable to reach those heights.

Will have to listen to it some more before I judge it fully.

I'm with you... 100%.  I've had a hard time with many of their later albums.   This album was pretty decent for the most part.  However, Midnight Messiah... just love that song.  It's up there for me with songs like Peruvian Skies, Burning My Soul, and tons of others.  For whatever reason, it resonated with me.. and rocks out pretty hard.  Seeing it Live was amazing as well.

Heart is cool... that is a good cover.  What pressure that would be LOL - I'm sure they practiced the crap out of it.

This is mildly embarrassing, but for the last week or two I've been cycling through the Deadpool & Wolverine three versions of Like a Prayer on repeat haha.

LOL why is that embarrassing @mastermario ?

The songs are catchy, so I think I still would have liked it even if I hadn't watched the movie, but because I did watch the movie, the music has a sort of sentimental feeling as well. I absolutely love the movie and I can picture in my mind what was happening in the movie when I hear the song.

@Mai Valentine  --> you know... I asked because I had a hard time getting into the movie.  Not sure why... I know a lot of people like it.  I also like many animated films, this one just didn't resonate... and no idea why that's the case.

Speaking of that... I am listening to Burning My Soul

I've started Batman: The Animated Series. I haven't watched it since the 90's and I've never seen all of the episodes. Looking forward to catching up on it.

That's something I totally missed as well.  Is it good?

It's a solid show for an afternoon kid's cartoon. Some of the writing and exposition can be a little shallow because of that but it's still high quality.

listening to Creeping Death - Metallica.  OOOOOOooo Yes.  I'm @CreepinDeth LOL 

Nice, in my humble opinion, it's their best song and best album.

@CreepinDeth


I hope you enjoy it

As for what I'm listening to right now. This cover of Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven by Heart. One of the best covers I've heard. Ann Wilson is a magnificent singer.

I used to like the challenge of playing and beating games on their highest difficulties. Now, many of those games or newer games are absolutely miserable to me on the hardest or sometimes even the second-hardest difficulties. I play at a difficulty that is enjoyable (easy-ish) for me.

This started with Jedi - Fallen Order, btw. That game was impossible and annoying on the hardest difficulty. I bought the game when it came out in 2019 and played for a week then stopped playing it for three years. I accepted that I suck at video games and I had to swap between the easiest and second easiest difficulties. Campaign was relatively enjoyable after that.

I need to listen to the Kpop thing apparently.

that's awesome @Mai Valentine  --> What do you like about the K pop demon hunters soundtrack?  I know it's super popular
