I have just 100% completed Lego Jurassic park...  This would be my 3rd Playstation Network platinum trophy.   

Done! Done! Onto the next one! -Foo Fighters  I Think we are going to 100% Lego Batman 3 next...  I Think.  We are pretty close.

@targetrasp I thought I already replied to this.... Holy crap is right.  This is a very cool concept.  I wonder how much life this system will have and how long the support will last. I cannot imagine they support it longer than 5 years... so what happens at the end of that time?   All systems are susceptible to failure.   I wonder how backup up your stuff would be.  Or if there will be backlog metrics lol.   We might have competition for the backlog tracker! 


What do you think @retro junkie @CreepinDeth @XFaKToRX @MegaDrive20XX ?

Good call @Grindspine  I need to do that this year.  What are you playing?

What about you @Jack @targetrasp @Polygon @trkorecky @CreepinDeth @Kinikko @HylianSeven @SpartanEvolved @mastermario @Boomsickle @Icy @Frodus @Baker_Beezy @AngelBob

@targetrasp aww man. Let me know how it is lol.  I want one.

LOL @XFaKToRX join @targetrasp and I with the eternal backlog    I do want to pick this up... but I'm not sure when I'll ever get to it.  Call of Duty: Modern Warfare really has my attention right now.   These seasons are time killers...

Didn't they say Picard was really dark?

I need to watch that series... if I am correct, it was a little rough from the episodes we watched lol.   But we need to re-watch it.    SO.... it sounds like you are recommending it 

@Grindspine if you go PS5 eventually... It appears PlayStation 4 games are backwards compatible on the PlayStation 5.   So.. maybe FF7 remake would be in the bags then    I Want to get it... just need time and money right now.

That does suck about the wedding... stupid virus. 

Yeah... I agree @Grindspine ... it grew into my favorite controller.   Oddly enough.  I really liked the Gamecube controller, but some others had complaints.  I never was a huge fan of the Xbox Controller.  It was alright, but not my favorite.  The PlayStation controller really took the favorite spot.  The PS4 controller is really nice... so I cannot wait to get my hands on the Ps5 controller.

@Mai Valentine - I probably won't be able to afford it either with the salary reductions.

@targetrasp - yeah... I Get that.  Also... the Ps3 was very expensive at launch.  Somehow, I doubt the PS5 will match the cost... but we will see.


@retro junkie come to the dark side.... and get a free cookie 

Yeah I know... lol stupid budgets.  The Switch has had many awesome console versions.   The Diablo switch is cool too.. It's only a matter of time before I get another. I know it.

This game looks pretty cool.  The original Color Splash wss a lot of fun... and this new version looks like they really put time into the story line...and maybe went a little dark.

Anyone else check this out?

@retro junkie we finished Monk.  Pretty good ending ... I recommend.

Is anyone else binging?   Any other shows recommended?

@Mai Valentine  It would be a good idea to help those that do not have critical jobs to have help... that's for certain. 

I'm not digging the re-opening of restaurants... and other businesses ... though I know they're hurting and need business. People are starting to be dumb and not wear masks at stores... taking their family to the store more...etc.  It's just not a smart idea.  Virus doesn't care who or what you are... and I'm hoping this will go away so we can get back to a more normal.  I'm wondering what this fall and winter will bring...

@retro junkie  awesome!   Looks like we will need an impressions / review topic  . I'm excited for this. I hope to be able to pick one up later this year

Happy Birthday @Mai Valentine , I hope your birthday is awesome!  Enjoy your digital cake.

IF you get the gift of gaming, post up your loot! 

Who started the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 3?   This weekend was double xp... I played a ton of rounds.     I also took last week off to get some RR from work and other stuff.... so I put some time into the game.

I Think I'm around Battle Pass rank 60 now.  I'm also working on many of the other challenges.  I've played many rounds of Warzone Solos for practice lol... I was having trouble with it when playing quads with @mastermario @SpartanEvolved and @Grindspine ... or whoever else played.  I'm finally getting the hang of it.   I played a ton of Blackout in Black Ops 4... and liked that well.   I guess I was more used to Blackout.   Who else has been playing?

Post it up!

Good Review @retro junkie  -  I remember renting this game a couple times.  I honestly do not remember a lot about it though... it's been a very long time.  If I remember right, it played VERY close to Mortal Kombat 4 - the "3D" Mortal Kombat.   I remember having fun with it back in the day, but not enough to buy it.

Good review, Retro.

So even if you call in... you cannot purchase the cord?    At one point... I was able to get the Famicom Disk Drive belts from Nintendo of Japan.   They stopped selling them to me after a few times.  I was honest up front and told them I was selling them... and repairing Disk Drive units as well.

I've been noticing companies are doing this less.  They certainly stopped it with me after a few orders.

I never really got into the Intellivision.  I remember a lot of gamers that were trying to score them again in the mid 2000s... just before money started shrinking for a lot of people.     This looks interesting.. but $249-299??    That's pretty expensive.  The games look ok... but They may be a decade too late on this one.  Maybe not though.  I Could be wrong on that.

I used to have paid Spotify but now I don't, and the commercials are annoying.

lol that's a good one.

@targetrasp  That's pretty cool!   I still haven't made it to 4k gaming.  So there's my 1st world problem.   That and Groceries during the pandemic are more expensive..... ......

speaking of lego, we really need a new lego city undercover.. GTA Lego.... can't beat it

LOL... yes we do.

@Mai Valentine ... I really want Animal Crossing New Horizon.   I haven't bought anything ... I think... since Call of Duty Modern Warfare.  I've been on a no buying game kick... even though I really want New Horizon.  Right now, we are reduced at work... just being a little smarter with money right now.  Normally I'm buying any Animal Crossing 1st day.

Atari Flashback Portable - Has anyone seen this?  The reviews aren't that great:


Atari Flashback Portable Deluxe built-in 70 Games SD Card slot Especial Edition - Amazon.com

The game selection is ok.. old school games such as Frogger... but I'm curious if anyone has tried it and if the screen...etc.. is good or not. 

Post it up!

@targetrasp I took a look into this.  I have nothing... unforunately.  I know this isn't helpful lol.... but if you find anything... post up the resolution.  My guess is HP won't sell it and they're just done.

@targetrasp yes - I have a few links / threads I'm going to post up.   Feel free to post up articles for discussion as well.   It's ok to link here to news and other things... to legit sites lol.

That's true... costs seem to be going up.... but I don't think they will hit PlayStation 3 levels.

lol... Black and Red... that's true.  It's becoming more Blue and Black.... and even lime green and black!

@targetrasp I dig it as well... although I think the PlayStation 4 still has a lot of life left.  We just don't see the strain on consoles as much anymore.   IE when N64 was going out and we were onto the Gamecube...etc... we saw a big difference.  SAme with PlayStation 2 to 3.  The jumps don't look as large.  Remember... I'm not a 4k gamer yet.

@Mai Valentine   Thank you for that.... I Think I'm going to buy this at some point.   I'm playing a TON of Call of Duty right now... so extra time for other games is not there.  I don't know how people do it these days and spreading as much time over games as they do. It used to be easier... pretty straight forward... and you could be done with it or come back and reply.  Now with all the achievements and side missions... significant time is spent on most games.   The season in Call of Duty made this worse lol... they took a page out of Fort Nite's book.

if you platinum it... make sure to post it up in the A Winner is You Board

What do you think about everything re-opening?    Do you think it's too soon.. not soon enough... and the affects?

I Will say this... there is a line between unemployment and many adverse health effects and deaths that occur when people are out of work.   If people do not get back to work, the issue will compound.  However, if we go back too soon... we risk major re-infections.  Doctors and researchers still aren't sold on immunity once you get it.   My understanding is re-infections have occurred.

Post it up!

@Mai Valentine They're making a social outing of it?  What the heck?!  And whole families? .... that's just crazy.  BTW I'm very sorry to hear about your divorce... that sucks and is hard.  We will keep you all in our prayers.

I'm not sure how I feel about everything re-opening right now.  For the last week... it seems everyone is more active.  We are going to try to take a walk, but so many people are out.   We went to the park to walk... it was packed, so we left.

lol speaking of medical drama @Mai Valentine and @targetrasp ... Scrubs.... I miss that show.  It's a comedy though... not a drama.  I think we need to binge that.


@retro junkie We are almost done with all Monk seasons!
