Last post by retro junkie - November 03, 2025, 12:37:40 PMQuote from: BLUEVOODU on November 01, 2025, 01:38:11 PMI got ya @retro junkie i was more kidding based off your words of "never was in a local arcade."While I knew what you meant, it also sounds like you were never in a local arcade. I was kidding with you
Really, to be honest, when the arcade came into their prime, I was at a point in my life where I didn't spend any time around them. I was in occasionally but my interests were elsewhere. (hint) I got married in 77. When I did go into the arcade it was for playing Starblade inside one of those sit down cockpits. And there was Daytona or San Francisco Rush. So you are partly right, I was never there in a sense. My gaming really began on a Commodore 64. My real gaming days were at home.
Man I remember playing Stun Runner on a sit down cycle cabinet thing. That was so awesome.

PC Gaming and Platform / Left 4 Dead 2 Updates
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 02, 2025, 03:18:57 PMIt seems there were Left 4 Dead 2 updates done in 2020 called the Last Stand which appear to be more community driven. There were also minor updates in Feb 2025 called out on Steam. This includes new achievements, campaigns, survival maps and bug fixes! I think we are going to try to get all the new (and old) achievements.
We have been recently playing. Check out the last Thursday Night Game Session from 10-30-25:

Also, check out the old has anyone been playing Left 4 Dead 2 topic from the yester years:
https://www.chickendinnergaming.com/forum/pc-gaming-and-platform/left-4-dead-2-anyone-still-play
From this thread, @ThravRande and a few others mentioned it would be fun to get together again. I know this was several years ago... However, we are trying to get others back into playing a versus or even additional people to play campaigns as mentioned in the last CDG Thursday Game Night topic. It would be cool to get you back for that, Thrav!
Have you got the achievements or played the updates?
Thoughts? Comments? Post it up!!

@SpartanEvolved and I played a quick round of Counter-Strike 2 and got curb stomped thanks to the goobers we had on our team lolz
As mentioned, I'd love to get @MegaDrive20XX @targetrasp @CreepinDeth and I believe we used to play with @Zidart and @HylianSeven as well. It would be awesome to get a group going here and there

General Discussion / Tron: Ares
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 02, 2025, 07:35:46 AMTron: Ares came out October 10, 2025. I was (am) very interested in this movie and lost track of release date with many lift events going on right now. This movie looked awesome and has Nine Inch Nails in the soundtrack! The songs in the trailer sounded awesome as well.
I have not read many reviews as I don't want it spoiled and also get tired of the negativity. I'm pumped to see this movie! It looks like there aren't many showings left lol... so I need to get on the ball.
Has anyone else checked out this movie? Are you excited to see it? Waiting until it's released to the masses? What do you think about the soundtrack?
Thoughts, comments... post it up!

General Discussion / Re: First World Problems
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 01, 2025, 07:00:45 PMBumping up an old thread.
In several topics, I talk about my oled switch and buying it in 2021 but never opening it. However, I bought the Switch 2. So I opened the OLED Switch, hooked it up for a month and then... put it away after moving to the Switch 2. This was to ensure it had a little play before going to the Switch 2 lol. Yes yes... 1st world problems.
lol the OLED Switch is great ... but the Switch 2 definitely is a decent leap ahead of the OLED Switch.

Arcade / Ms. Pac-Man
Last post by BLUEVOODU - November 01, 2025, 06:01:25 PMWhile Ms. Pac-Man was not my 1st arcade experience, it definitely was a major experience in terms of overall gameplay in arcades, restaurants... AND even dentist/Orthodontist Appointments (yes, not kidding). The Dentist/Orthodontist had Donkey Kong Jr and Ms. Pac-Man. That was pretty cool and you don't see that any more these days.
There was one at the old Chi-Chi's restaurant that used to be in town. We would wait in line (back in the day) to get in ... and they had a Ms. Pac-Man sit down machine to play! I put a ton of quarters in this machine... and got pretty decent at playing Ms. Pac-Man.
To this day, I have fond memories of playing Ms. Pac-Man. What about you? I literally had hours upon hours into this game straight in the arcade. I held some high scores for awhile lol... at the "localized" arcade.
It's been a long time since I have played this game on any format, but the old sit down cabinet arcade style game (with original controls) is by far my favorite.
Check out the following thread and post up your 1st arcade experiences!

General Discussion / Re: Game Subscriptions
Last post by targetrasp - November 01, 2025, 04:15:23 PMSo far I've been getting my monies worth out of GamePass. I meet up with some people 2 - 3 fridays a month and there's usually something on there we all play. Recently its saved me from buying The Outer Worlds 2 (loved the first one, would have bought this game otherwise) and Monster Train 2. There's at least a new game a month I would have purchased and probably not played that game pass has saved me from.
I build my PCs with tons of disk space so I opt for the PC version of gamepass. Everything seems to work without issue outside of some of the EA offerings and of course when theres a game preview (Smite 2).
They did just increase the price, but still not horrible unless you've got ultimate then it's a bit much.
