yeah... I'll probably watch it as well @targetrasp   I still laugh at the image @retro junkie posted.  That is hilarious... never gets old.

I'm telling you though... Angry Birds was a great movie.   If you haven't watched it, you should.  It's pretty funny.

lol ... nice.    Well... I completely forgot about that AND I haven't seen the 1st 2 Thor movies, @Grindspine I have to be honest there.

Nerd Extreme 

I use to love Debian. Depending on GUI spoils. Those write ups could be a refresher course. 

@retro junkie  I'm getting ready to start posting some basic refresh stuff.   I hope to have that by the end of the weekend... just going to start basic command line.

Crappy thing is.. I've been studying for these certs to get ahead at work... and be ready for technologies we are going to.  Now, the company is changing their direction  so... we may not be basing in Linux now and doing something else straight in the cloud for our ERP system SAP.  I'm still getting the certs for myself and my knowledge... and to have them.  But man... lol... come on now.

Marvel Theory has a pretty cool video... I know it was released last year, but check this out if you have not.




Thoughts?   BTW... there are no spoilers to End Game in this video.    Post it up!

@targetrasp lol... shhhhhhhhh.   The dream is real and alive.

@Grindspine that would be cool if they did it this year.  I didn't participate last year... and I cannot tell you the last time I logged into steam right now.  So... it's due

Another Post I missed...  We had a super full schedule ... so we didn't have a chance to do a lot.  However, we had a few margaritas! 

Who celebrated this year?   What did you end up doing?

LOL!!!!  @retro junkie That's hilarious.

I'm not sure what I think about this yet.  Thank you for beating me on the post @targetrasp ... I meant to post this and was side tracked.  I'm just not sure what to think about this yet...

Spoiler: ShowHide

1. Captain Marvel's timing. Seems like it's always perfect. I like her as a character but still.
2. Wtf was with Gwyneth Paltrow Iron Woman? Seemed almost completely random (almost because she has briefly worn a suit but it was for protection).

@mastermario @CreepinDeth

Man... Captain Marvel was such a great Movie... but she was EXTREMELY underwhelming in End Game.  Scarlet Witch on the other hand... she was absolutely rocking Thanos.  All that rage... she should've just done the job and got it over with.  All this monologuing... and wasting time.  Get it done yo... lol 

Did you see this yet, @targetrasp ?

lol @mastermario      Honestly... I'm doing that as well... not even kidding.   I bought good tape and am putting mine together.  I need to fashion a piece to help keep the headset pushed into place just right.

@Grindspine I hate to say it, I probably won't buy any more Logitech gear for awhile.  You know that's odd for me as well.. as I used to buy all Logitech stuff and lots of it.  However, I'm not fond of their new designs.   Your Sennheiser suggestion... definitely looking into that.   Though the last set of Sennheiser.. while wireless... were extraordinarily thin.  I might just check out a few at Sweetwater to see if I Can demo something.

@retro junkie lol... Red Green... yup.  That's exactly it.  Check out Mastermario's pics 

@Grindspine mentioned @mastermario was on a major "Seagulls" kick. lol.

Months later... this is still rather addicting to play here and there.

yeah... it ended though    I'd love to have this mode back... it was a lot of fun.

lol... yeah... I fell asleep after 15 min @Grindspine 

Happy Early Birthday, @Mai Valentine  ... I Hope it's a good one and enjoy your digital cake!

If you get any Video Game Gifts... please post it here!

idk... If we haven't heard anything about it yet, I doubt it.   It would be cool if they did.

@Grindspine @Kinikko --> Have you heard anything on this for 2019?

We need the gaming backlog tracker 

My son and I played... this is a lot of fun!  lol... it's rather ridiculous, but the fun factor is way up there.  I have to give credit to Epic Games for coming up with such awesome and unique ideas.   I really miss the Gauntlet Mode.   I cannot believe that was almost 1 year ago already.

We should join up and play this one at some point.  It's a good time.

Anyone else play it?

I had a worker that went to see it last night. He told me that you cannot pee, there is no intermission.  Three hour movie, so beware, all the popcorn you want but no soft drink. 

LOL... This is a true story @retro junkie .   I managed ... and I had 1.5 slushies.  I actually went back for a refill before the movie.   NOW... as long as you eat enough popcorn.. that will dry you out lol 

It was a great movie... awesome... but there are some holes in some of their theories and what they do.  I won't go into it though... yet lol.

@CreepinDeth it's definitely satisfying... though some of the outcomes are tough to accept.  I tell you... I still blame Starlord... then Thor. LOL. 

@Grindspine we will definitely go again... maybe May 10 weekend... if you all want to go, we will go again.  Maybe get a Guinness beforehand. 

For watching this in IMAX... we also received free posters.

SO ... my Logitech G35 died.  Technically the plastic piece that has G35 on it broke... therefore, the headphone on the right side keeps falling off.  I'm thinking of a duct tape way to fix this.  Anyway,  It was a legit... great headset.  I bought it when it launched back in 2008/2009 (it was one of those years) directly from Logitech.   I'm picky on how things sound... and it hit every expectation for me.   It Blocked outside noise wonderfully... had GREAT Surround and non-surround audio.   It was USB, so it had it's own drivers on board.  So without software, this headset still sounded... awesome.   

SO... fast forward to today.  I bought a Razer Kraken Pro Tournament Edition  Green headset.   SUPER UNDERWHELMED.   I did my research and this was supposed to be a great headset.  But... what the hell?   Why in the world do gaming headsets these days suck so bad?  The Logitech, Corsair, Steel series, Razer...etc.... just don't compare to the G35 released many years ago.  I Thought we would progress... not regress.  I have not tried it with the software and USB THX nub thing... but I already know, it's not going to make a big enough difference.

At this point... I hate to return it because I know I'll pay a fee.  But I definitely will drop some money for a non-gaming headset at some point... and get something worthy of music and everything.   

Thoughts?  Comments?  Post it up!

I Wonder what they are doing different these days to get the systems closer to the original.   I get it... time and research has gone into it.   But what are they doing different that gets us closer to the original?   I haven't looked into this yet.

@Grindspine Not sure what you mean lol.  At the new place... I don't have a lot of retro setup yet... since PS3 and Wii U are not counted as retro... I can say I have 0 retro gaming "things" setup.

@retro junkie speaking of lists... I Still need to do the backlog tracker...     That's cool you went retro ... though you are the retro junkie!  I'm not surprised you have more Snes / Super Famicom though... personally I feel there was more games for the SNES worth buying.  Obviously, this is opinionated... but my likes have always fell more with the Super Nintendo and their format.

lol you cannot hate @Grindspine for the great pun, @mastermario

To repeat it... the music did this movie a lot of justice.  Though, I'm waiting for  Mastermario to start singing some of the songs every time we game... Taylor Swift and Lan sessions comes to mind.   

@mastermario nice!  1st showing?  That's awesome.   I think @SpartanEvolved has that as well.   Unfortunately, I Will wait until Sunday.

@CreepinDeth I am watching Homecoming again this weekend. We caught up on The avengers, ant man, and a few others in preparation for this movie.   I Think we are going to have a Marvel weekend SOMETIME in the near future... just watch all the Marvels over a weekend.  We've done that with Harry Potter, Lord of the rings and Hobbit.

I might try it out in the near future, @mastermario ... I need to get these next few tests completed.  It sounds fun.

The free version is legit?

I think I'm thinking of KOTOR - Knights of the Old Republic.   Or that the same thing you are referring to?

Nah... we ended up not seeing it and I think it's out of theater now.   SOOOO... this will be a rental.

Yes!  The Studio Giblets are awesome and tasty.     From up on Poppy Hill is pretty good as well.  That one though... hits a little hard.

Sounds like it was alright @targetrasp !

That...  I'm not sure of @mastermario I heard something similar from a friend at work.  Might be


Well. I have tickets for next weekend  woot woot. Anyone else going 1st weekend?

Double down ban hammah!   Like Giant Hammer Bro Hammer.

LOL... like that one time you were cleaning the forums in the EZBOARD days LOL. @mastermario 

@mastermario - Wasn't this a single player MMORPG type game though?  Or did they add Multiplayer Campaigns later on?  I always heard this game was good... but the single player only aspect kept me away from it.

Maybe I was wrong.. but I thought it was single player.

Lol exactly 

@Kinikko is ahead of you and she hasn't been here In Awhile.   Let's a go @mastermario

That should qualify for a ban now!
