The digital code is available on amazon but not a physical game as of this writing

I've never played a blizzard game outside of the pc. I can't imagine picking it up outside of it offering something it doesn't on PC.

Can't go back, its just not as funny.

I got a sick kid today so i'm not working. I'm good any time after soccer practice

More Actraiser 1 or 2? - I liked the God sim part, it added to the story - I was disappointed when Actraiser 2 came out without it.

TNMT was top of the list when I though beatemups

no wonder they're only talking about it being $20 annually

gamestop - they acted like there wasn't going to be a big supply

We've touched on some in other topics but every video game forum needs this as part of the conversation -

What characters / Games / IPs do you want to see make a come back?

I want a platforming Kid Icarus
Breakthru
Sunset Riders
any top tier beatemup
Metroid I got my wish on the 3ds
Advance Wars
Return Fire
Dark Cloud
Blue Dragon
Shadowrun (want the more rpgish console versions)
Jade Empire
Vagrant Story
ICO / Shadow of Colossus do remakes count?
Super Mario RPG - Nintendo made Super Mario Xcom - why not RPG 2?
Skies of Arcadia (I bought this from BV waaay back in the day)
Shenmue
Starwars KOTOR


I could go on and on...

I was about to argue how people didn't care for games like Panzer anymore and compare it to Kid Icarus Uprising but apparently critics liked uprising and it sold over a million copies. It's been 6 years and nothing else out of that IP either so maybe 3/4ths of that million was people like me wanting a more familiar Icarus experience.

I've prepaid mine already.

Interesting, not sure how much bomberman fun I can have at 40 but if it went to 20 - maybe even 30...

sorry, found your post at 1030...

what are yall playing pso on?

I think its a toss up. Handhelds have a role, as well as home consoles. This hybrid idea is interesting and could take over both markets but I'd be disappointed. It'd be like gaming on a laptop. The screen will always be smaller, there will always be power trade offs, and it's always more expensive to make similar components smaller. I love the switch but its not my primary console.

A ton of others feel different, and there's even a charter spectrum commercial making fun of my sentiment. The pitchman is talking about all these different ways to watch their cable service and when he mentions on the tv the kids laugh at him. My daughter has a huge tv in her room but she still watches netflix on her iPad and probably hasn't turned her cable box on in a year.

I always thought there was an age limit to using emoticons, like if you're considered generation x or baby boomer you're too old...

man I completely skipped over where you lobbed my Adam and Eve joke back at me, such a missed opportunity.

I have it and you'd have a better chance if you were playing with my 7 year old. I'm horrible at the game and don't like it for some reason (probably because i'm horrible at it and extremely vain)...

Honestly though, that's one of those games that if you get someone that's not good it makes the experience so bad, I'd hate to put anyone through all that. I'm sure Parker would play, he still gets on with some of his friends every once in a while.

if portal 3 doesn't come out valve is leaving money on the table....

It really does look like a MK clone and Midway did do both...

I'm with Creepin on this one for the most part.

I will say as graphics improve some games' luster fades. I keep references the SNES Classic Edition but I will say every game on it was a game I poured hundreds of hours into during their release. Games like Mario Kart aren't nearly as fun because more recent iterations have improved so much that the earlier hashes just aren't as fun for me.

sweet, more from the old band!

Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail, Code Geass, Death Note, Boruto, One Piece, Inuyasha, Robotech, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and Dragon Ball / Gundam anything are all favorites of mine and completely safe bets.

Between Crunchyroll, Netflix, and amazon prime you should be able to find some nice anime for a long time. Crunchyroll won't cost anything if you're ok waiting a week for some of the currently airing series and watching commercials. there's a paid option to skip that. The other two are obviously subscription services but have a fair amount.

I'd always made fun of kids who watched anime but a childhood friend moved back to town about 15 years ago and he convinced me to watch cowboy bebop. After that I plowed through the bigger ones and am always looking for that next series. 

It can't be profitable. There's no way. I understand that they're banking on many not using the service enough to cover the cost of admission but the monthly cost is way low. It'd be like offering major medical for the cost of a single flu shot.

you have to turn this feature off asap! One youtube video turned into 2 hours worth of top tens and concert solos... Somehow I made it from the Walk solo to Slash playing Jonnie B Goode to 430932 other videos, finally I had enough when the top ten female guitarists had two of the runaways in the top 3... (completely agree but Sister Rosetta Tharpe was way low on the list).

Embedded video is going to be such a time sink for me!

Being older, talking about the good ole' days

without doing any acoustical work on the room itself I won't pay a whole lot for speakers. Klipsch, Polk, Elac are what I'm considering. So nicer than theater in a box but nothing that'd impress a serious audiophile. I upgraded my receiver and the subwoofers so the front and center speakers are a little underpowered. I'll move the fronts to the back and ditch the surrounds and old center for some nicer center and front speakers.

this is like trying to organize a my documents folder or a shared cloud drive for an office...

should the credit cards go in the bills folder or make a credit cards folder? I've got a folder for receipts but should the capitol improvement ones go in the PIP upgrade folder?

I end up having to draw this stuff out on paper

they absolutely are. The speakers I'd added to my wish list are front and center.

(My apologies, I really hate puns but I couldn't let that one go)

I would play PSO. I really enjoyed it on the DC.

The digital media has been so counter intuitive... When I find fantastic sales it's always on physical merchandise. Retailers are steadfast in only taking advantage of digital media's convenience. Sometimes I'll preorder a physical copy of a movie and end up buying a digital copy because it came out sooner, but rarely do I get a good price.


Steam has been the notable exception to the rule.

when it happens put all your expensive stuff in storage somewhere until they turn 7 - 8 years old. Anything you want to keep out to enjoy should be in your room with strict boundary policies or on a shelf at least 7 foot in the air. (after the PlayStation 3 incident I built a shelf over my television for cable box, video games, receiver, etc). any floor standing speaker or subwoofer will have Legos and pennies stuff into the ports as well as any floor vents so here's hoping the wife has skinny wrists and long arms!

(Attempting to steer back on topic) by the time it happens hope and pray the 3ds or whatever takes its place becomes water proof! (Phew, I saved it!)
