It's been awhile since the last post here.

General Discussion / Hawkeye revisited
Today at 09:59:43 AM
We have been re-watching Hawkeye as posted in the Binge Watching shows thread.  It's very hard to believe this was 4 years ago already. It is such a great series and hoping they do more with it.  This was truly a different time in history and this show was unique.

Have you revisited Hawkeye?

General Discussion / Re: The Concert Thread

Quote from: Grindspine on November 27, 2025, 04:15:02 PMFear Factory and Cavalera performing Demanufacture and Chaos A.D. was the only 2025 concert I attended. 2024 was Babymetal playing in Indianapolis.

You went to both of those with me, BV!

Both were great concerts.  Fear Factory Demanufacture and Cavalera Chaos AD... man what a dream.  Hearing those songs live in 2025.  What are the chances and in the same concert?!  One heck of an awesome concert... one of my favorites to date.

Baby Metal was cool... some great songs.   

I also saw Dream Theater in Columbus.  What a great show.  It was literally 2hrs and 40 minutes of just Dream Theater playing.  They played pretty much their entire new album, took an intermission and then continued playing tons of songs from their older albums.  Wow... it was great.

General Discussion / Re: Cobra Kai Season 6

Quote from: CreepinDeth on December 03, 2025, 10:21:10 PMSo much cheese but it was good cheese. Johnny's story was ultimately handled really well and I'm glad it came back to him as the main character for the last season. William Zabka deserves more recognition for his role in Cobra Kai.

LOL... you know, that is a good call out.  I liked that as well.  It has been so long since season 1, I have sort-of forgot the story was more focused on Johnny.  It was cool the focus went back as well.  It was hard to see the Dojo's separate, but they also respectfully separate and utilize each other... which is also a good message --> Everyone has an importance and is needed.


Quote from: CreepinDeth on December 03, 2025, 10:21:10 PMAnd of course, how can you not love the final fight between Kreese and Silver on the boat?!
LOL!!   ;D   There was no better ending to Cobra Kai.  Honestly, there is no other way they could end it as well.  However, what do you think are the chances that SOMEONE survived?  Cobra Kai never dies.  :great:

Holy crap @CreepinDeth I missed that... I've been under a lot with the new job etc and have not been able to keep up on everything.  I didn't even realize, at first, there was a massive RAM price increase. 

Sounds like they picked the WORST time to exit the market segment.  Just a heads up, your link is not working. 

I haven't built since 2013... and looks like I won't any time soon.  I know @SpartanEvolved just built.  GPU prices were stupid insane when he was telling me about it LOL  :))   I'm like.... No

We really liked it as well.  It's like ... how many times can Johnny and Daniel turn on each other? lol.   Season 6... it's like every other episode.

BTW... you're 100% right @targetrasp, Karate Kid Legends was great!   We absolutely loved that movie.  Ben Wang does well as Li Fong... and Ralph / Jackie Chan don't disappoint.  It will be cool to see where this goes.  We probably need to have a Karate Kid Legends topic.

General Discussion / Re: Physical Media Crusade!
December 02, 2025, 06:41:50 PM
Yeah... media PCs were a thing from like 2007-2010... and they seem to have resurged!  I knew A LOT of people back then that did this to share media in their house.

I had all my music ripped at one point (from my CDs) to a computer when @Grindspine and I would jam out on guitar.  It was very handy. 

I'm curious how Jellyfin works as well.  @retro junkie -- We've been consistently adding to our physical collection as well.  I recently got several collectors edition steel books of Disney+ series. More to come on this.  we also go the Blu-ray version of Avatar the Last Airbender series for $20-25.   We also ended up with the Season 1 of Wednesday for $10 Blu-ray and Monk complete series DVD set for $30ish

Quote from: CreepinDeth on December 01, 2025, 09:37:43 PMRemember? I'm trying to forget, lol. These tech bro CEOs won't let me.
LOL @CreepinDeth I know... lol and my bad.   :))

You're 100% correct though... the ram increases will translate to higher and higher GPU costs.  I'm hoping ram prices do drop back down.   Unlike GPUs, I think RAM has a greater chance of dropping back.

GPUs, however, probably will never drop back down unless there's a major crash in the computer hardware department.  I'm glad I upgraded my laptop when I did.  I might sell my ram as well LOL.  Right now, it seems like laptops might be the way to go for "cheaper" gaming.  Truth be told, I haven't build a computer since 2013  ???

#11
@CreepinDeth That is crazy. Holy crap... even my laptop memory is triple the price.  I bought the Strix Scar Asus ROG and put in 64GB of memory.   That was $220 in September 2025.   Now it's showing as $599.

That's just insane.  Remember when Crypto and Graphics card increases were a thing? lol

Here's the crypto crash topic:

Thankfully, I am not in the market for building a computer.  Also thankfully... I have my new laptop...
#12
@CreepinDeth - Alright... I bought it lol. Honestly, this might be the best price it will be.  Maybe there will be a bigger discount later before it disappears lol... idk

General Discussion / BOB - Baby On Board
November 26, 2025, 10:14:16 AM
I probably noticed this before, however, there is a movie character that plays a Bob in 2 different movies.

Bob - Baby On Board in Top Gun: Maverick is also Bob in the Thunderbolts who becomes Sentry.  They are the same actor Lewis Pullman. However, I cant help but think they called him Bob in a call out to his roll in Top Gun: Maverick.

What do you think?  Did you notice this as well?

Nintendo released the Super Mario Galaxy movie trailer!  It looks like this is being billed in their 40 years of Super Mario campaign.

Trailer link: https://www.nintendo.com/us/movies/super-mario-galaxy/

I think the movie looks interesting. It is an animated style.  What are your thoughts?  Are you looking forward to this movie?

Quote from: retro junkie on November 25, 2025, 09:14:44 PMmy invite is invalid................. :(

@retro junkie -- They seem to expire 7 days after they are made (to the dot).  If I create the event earlier in the day, they expire before the event.

That invite is just the official event invite.  At the end of the day, it's really only for people who are not on the Discord already.  You can just login to Discord and join up!  Outside that, we have our permanent invite address as https://discord.chickendinnergaming.com.  However, you don't need to use that anymore either once you're already on the Discord - you just login to Discord and go!

Quote from: CreepinDeth on November 24, 2025, 10:33:07 PMThat's a pretty good deal. The M2 Airs tend to go for $649 with almost the same specs and those are 3 years old at this point.

Yeah!  No kidding.  I really would be interested if I didn't already have the pro

Quote from: retro junkie on November 25, 2025, 10:32:44 AMAnything from Apple that is below $1000 is a good deal,  :))
If I could afford to dwell in the Apple ecosystem I would be all over it.
LOL!!!! ain't that the truth.   :))  And really... this is a pretty big dent into the Apple Ecosystem!

Kirby Air Riders for the Nintendo Switch 2 is the sequel to the 2003 GameCube game Kirby Air Ride.  I didn't get a whole lot of play on Kirby Air Ride in the past.

Kirby Air Riders has my interest. It looks like a lot of fun... and is not in your standard Kirby style. It's basically a racing version of Kirby.


Features listed:
  • Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in this vehicle action game featuring Kirby and crew
  • Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine fights for top speed
  • Fill up your Boost Charge Gauge and then release to trigger an explosive dash
  • Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby and Meta Knight, each with their own stats and Specials
  • Zip around Skyah in City Trial: a free-for-all battle for 16 players online or 8 players via local wireless
  • Roam around Skyah to find machines, collect power-ups, and survive unpredictable Field Events
  • Take on one of a whole host of different Stadium contests, each with its own objective
  • Dash to the finish line in Air Ride, a six-player racing competition that can be played offline, online or via local wireless

Is anyone else interested in Kirby Air Riders?  Have you played the original 2003 Kirby Air Ride?
