Roguelikes and Metroidvanias. Not sure metroidvania was a thing back in the day but retro wise they scratch an itch when you want something new with that nostalgic feel. So far Infernax is at the top of a growing list of awesome.

I originally thumbed my nose at the roguelikes. I didn't like the indie games and a lot of indies were roguelikes. Now that's about all I play, well that and Nintendo stuff. As much as the uber competitive online noise has turned me off, the brutal roguelikes have become more and more of my thing.

Gaming / Movie / Media Deals / Cotton Reboot!

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 16, 2025, 08:44:28 PM

Cotton Reboot! is on sale for the Nintendo Switch $25 and PlayStation 4 $20.

These are pretty great prices.  I am tempted to pick this up.  I haven't always been the biggest Cotton fan.  This is one of those Shmup games in the past that were highly sought after.  Might be up the ally of @targetrasp @retro junkie for sure.

Thank you to those that showed up!  @CreepinDeth @mastermario and myself had a brief session.

I will work on getting the next meet-up set for next week!  Hopefully we can get more people to join up and hang out.

I might need to recap that series.   I ended up going back through Are You Afraid of the Dark original series.  That is fun to go back through here and there.


We are watching the new season of The Proof is Out There.

Wow that's crazy @Mai Valentine... getting rid of books as well.  I'm sure it's extremely hard to compete with Barnes and Nobles, Amazon and many others.

Thankfully, Amazon is not getting rid of their physical media.  However, I wonder if they are contributing (heavily) to other stores pulling back on their physical media.  The world is definitely changing.  Back in the old forum days, we called this. Honestly, I thought it would've happened a lot faster.  I'm glad it didn't.   I also wonder if buying habits are truly changing where people aren't buying physical media anymore. It seems like it.

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?" :

Last post by BLUEVOODU - December 16, 2025, 11:09:50 AM

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
