lol parks n rec... that's another one we've been watching.  BALLER TIME.   I Think we are into season 3 or 4 with Monk now... out of 8... or maybe it was 9 seasons.   Still a way to go!

HM... I need to look into IT Crowd.

We are going to do the Marvel run this summer.  We have all be 2 of the movies - Black Panther and Guardians of the Galaxy 2.  We are going to watch them in the proper order over 2-3 days.   We did that with the Harry Potter's last summer.

You bought an Xbox One X?    I wish I had more time for gaming.   What about the Xbox are you going to play?

you know... the Xbox section does need more love   ;D

Lol I finally scored Clorox wipes on Amazon. Arriving end of May  ;D

@AngelBob that's pretty crazy on the materials. Do they have any head times or know when those materials will be available?

I finally had to mow the grass. The exercise with yard work is nice... no gym right now.  :o stupid virus.   Weeks are passing by pretty quickly and I find myself working more remotely.  I really have to cut that off some days. 

@targetrasp what are the eBay complaints about?
#1174
Lol!  In your original message... You were referring to the sonic steelbook? Right?

Do you have the Wizard as well?   ;D that's cool you have all the video game movies.  I haven't been that diligent.  I only have a handful of video game movies.  Maybe a video game movie topic is needed.

Retro Gaming and Hardware / Re: Neo Geo Mini

@retro junkie How does the controller perform... say based against the old Neo Geo CD controller pad?

Good review... I decided not to buy into this.  I bought the Neo Geo X and many other variants... but decided to no buy this.    Do you think it's worth the purchase?

I'm surprised @targetrasp and @CreepinDeth haven't jumped in yet  ;D

@targetrasp are you buying sonic in steel book?

#1179
That's definitely one that I didnt finish.   That's a great idea to revisit. I wonder if it's on prime.


We have been binging Monk and Psych.  Both are pretty funny and lighthearted... very good for a laugh and not too serious. I missed both of these while they were on air. 

I think it might be time to watch the xfiles again...

Did anyone see monk and or psych?

@AngelBob - That's pretty cool!   That's also a smart use of resources.   How long until that's up and running?

No blues fans?  ;D

This is the Binge watching show topic.  We are all binging certain shows during the Corona-pocalype....  What are you binging?  What do you like and not like?

Post it up!

Alright... I changed a few things:

1.)  Created a new Battle Royale category with a Call of Duty board.
2.)  Combined FortNite and PUBG boards into the new Battle Royale Category and removed the older 2 separate categories for those boards.
3.)  Created a Cloud Gaming board for all Cloud Gaming and Gaming as a Service topics.

Feel free to post other suggestions for more Battle Royale games you would like to see in the Battle Royale Category.  If you have other suggestions ... please post them up!

Enjoy the updates and Game On!

@retro junkie are you still rocking out the GameCube?

Ever play Ikaruga for the GameCube?

Double post - @Grindspine I re-watched the video... this makes me want to try a new monitor. I believe the monitor I use is 120hz and I definitely get over 60 fps...  for csgo... I thought 120-200fps. I'd have to look again as it's been a very long time since I fired up csgo... or anything for that fact on my desktop. Now I really want try 144-240hz.

My comment on 60fps really is for motion tothe human eye... not accounting for all the input and drawing lags. I don't know if there's much to it, but I normally use low latency wired keyboard and mouse.

Btw I really like that channel  on youtube... they do a great job.    Good choice on video.

This is pretty cool... it's also cool have they are gathering the information and applying is to the Minecraft "mods."

Someone's built the entire Earth in Minecraft - to scale - eurogamer.net

@AngelBob - I figure you woukd appreciate this one.

They have some work to address other issues such as making the right textures apply to the right Earth features... such As snow on mountain tops and ice (instead of snow) for glaciers.

Lol check this article out. It's pretty funny on the measures GameStop is doing to stay in business. 

The obvious problem is... touching the credit card terminal and anything else with the plastic bag is going to spread something around unless they disinfect everything everyone. 

I feel for businesses and employees that need work as they're hurting and the financial ripple it could cause on jobs... etc.  However, there is a line to keeping your people safe.

GameStop to employees: wrap your hands in plastic bags and go back to work - bostonglobe.com

How is the OG Vive?  Does it work pretty well?   System wise ... is the design pretty much the same?

I have yet to get into VR. Not sure I'll sink the money into it or not.  Priorities right now lol... it's definitely interesting and a cool concept.  I've dug it since the Virtual Boy years.

Has anyone bought into tho yet?   The Valve Index VR Kit drops in at around $1000 for the full setup and includes Half-Life:  Alyx. This game looks pretty good... see our post here:
Half-Life:  Alyx Topic

@FJ1X and I were discussing the kit the other day.  It seems like a legit setup. The price is pretty crazy... but it may be worth it?  Maybe this will be a good launching point for VR? 

@CreepinDeth @targetrasp @Polygon @Strubes @trkorecky @HylianSeven  - any of you looking to buy into the Index?

Link on Steam:
Valve Index VR Kit on Store.steampowered.com

@retro junkie - thank you for posting the cnet article. That sucks!  But it's not surprising right now with everything going on.

I hope they make a couple additions for the wait  ;D that would be cool.
#1192
Has anyone picked this up yet?   This game appears to be getting rave reviews. I want to get my hands on it.  I need tp take care of a few other things before adding to the game collection.

Here's a pretty good review as well:
An impressive suite of improvements combine with a more clearly defined structure for Animal Crossing's finest outing to date. - Eurogamer.net

Have you played it yet?  What are your thoughts?  If you're looking to buy and wish to help support this site, please use the link in the 1st post.

PC Gaming and Platform / Half-Life: Alyx
March 28, 2020, 04:36:11 PM
Has anyone seen Half-Life: Alyx?   It's only a VR release right now.  From my understanding, this plays off the Valve Index VR headset / system that connects to your PC.  This starts out at $1000 ... imo it's pretty pricey.  Going to create a topic on the headset as well.  The reviews are giving this headset pretty high marks though... and apparently for those that can play VR games without issues ... Half-Life: Alyx  has a really good VR implementation.

Here's a pretty good Half-Life: Alyx review:
Half-Life: Alyx: The Kotaku.com Review


How many of you are excited for Half-Life:Alyx?   I'm trying to find the article... somewhere Episode 3 was also rehashed as possible.  It's not like we've only waited 12 years for that. I guess we will see if that happens as well.  Another topic for another post. 

@Polygon @trkorecky @CreepinDeth  - have you checked this out?

It would be awesome to get a group together to play. I'd like to get back at it here with Diablo 3 soon.  I really enjoy d3. I still need to make it through the reaper of souls.

@mastermario @Grindspine @SpartanEvolved  - looking to get this as well?

Btw... I really hope they have an awesome box and special edition like all the Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 releases and expansions.  I'm preordering when available.

One of our factories converted to making tubing for ventilators.  Otherwise, most of our plants shut down last week.

Food is finally stocked and people aren't being as dumb. Thankfully the stores made a senior time in the am... so tjey get 1 hour of shopping time 1st.  I think that's good. 

I hope we can get back go normal soon and this goes away.  This stay at home thing is cool for work in some cases. But it would also be back nice to get back to normal life.
#1196
Not sure if anyone saw this yet...  it's pretty cool as I really wanted the 1st game in the list... the 2nd will be fun.  The games are: Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and Dirt Rally 2.0

Did anyone see this?  Are you excited for the free games?

General Discussion / Re: Favorite 80's Toy / Cartoon
March 26, 2020, 11:48:45 PM
That thing was mammoth.  I remember the HUGE box in this toy store called Children's palace (long gone).   I mean... back then, most kids didn't even have the room to store it.   Our house was a bit smaller as a kid.. I had plenty of toys and stuff, but I'm not sure there would be a place for the massive aircraft carrier.    It was still pretty cool lol
#1199
LOL... why?!   Isn't it a good game?
#1200
@retro junkie good call... yeah... they finally listened.   Funny how they tried to become a "critical" business.  I must buy those video games  ;D

@Grindspine yeah..... I swore them off a long time ago too.  Then I keep getting sucked back in here and there for certain items.... like Call of Duty.   I buy their steel book version every year they make one....
