@mastermario @targetrasp @Jack @Kinikko - Circling back to this topic... did any of you pick up the Master Chief Collection any time recently?

I'm wondering how the online servers are at this point... if there are many people playing still... or if it died off.  I'm still tempted to buy an Xbox One for this game... but probably won't due to lake of time lately.

@Kinikko have you picked up your Xbox One Lately?  Just curious if you started down  the path of playing it again.  If you have... what did you start playing?

Looks like we need to try again @Jack and @targetrasp   

lol... Is that what happened?

I ended up playing several hours of Black Out Mode.  It's pretty fun.

Nice! 

Well. My installation is under 60GB. Not sure why case said 140GB.

Holy crap - this game requires 140GB on disk.  I had to remove cod ww2 ...

Nice - Did you dual boot?  Or install Linux only?  Do you do much at the command line level?

@CreepinDeth My Buddy just got his NVIDIA RTX 2080Ti.  I refuse to spend that much money though. Other gamers say "it's worth it..."  but I don't know.  That really ups the build cost.  It really does look cool.

I just don't understand the reason for the high cost - if lack of competition is it or what.  From what I understand, There's still the potential of an AMD and Intel team up in the next year (ish) time frame.

I'm starting to wonder if AMD still has the spirit of ATI.  ATI used to bring out awesome cards.  NVIDIA was having trouble keeping up in the 2007-2010 range.  Then it seems like they put on a full assault since 2013 (ish) time frame.

@Bomber Man I never really got into Roblox... what is the appeal of Roblox?

Is anyone getting this?  I think @targetrasp mentioned he was.    From what I've read and heard... the game is multiplayer only. 

I'm looking at picking up Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 for the PlayStation 4 tonight.  Not sure though... I really haven't intensely played a Call of Duty since Black Ops.  In fact, Black Ops 3... broke it out twice.   Modern Warfare Remastered - awesome fun... had a lot of fun with this online... but only broke it out a few times.  IT was great with the Christmas themes lol.  WW2 is still sealed.  I bought it with all the intent of playing with @targetrasp  - I bought it because I saw him playing it LOL.   

Blackout Mode looks great - that's the new Battle Royale Mode.  It is interesting Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 delves into Battle Royale mode - It's not surprising but it is interesting.  It shows how much Battle Royale has taken over.  I have bought all Call of Duty games on the Playstation so far.  If you are, what are you looking forward to?

Thoughts?  Comments? post it up!

OOO... that sounds good!

Garlic Beef made extra spicy and steamed dumplings last night.  AND THEN... I made myself a turkey wrap today.

The original is still in a closet in my parents' house somewhere.

@Grindspine You should find that and keep it safe lol.

@targetrasp I know what you mean.  Bring back the bombs! 

I got a few FortNite kills... AND... maybe a little more progress in Spiderman - Playstation 4

OOOOooo... I achieved a lot in work lately, but somehow was robbed of earned XP 

I'm actually somewhat excited about Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.    Is anyone else looking forward to this game?

@Strubes @FJ1X @targetrasp  @CreepinDeth @Kinikko @Aya-Kun

As mentioned in topic Official Recent Game Happenings / Progress Thread

@Jack and @targetrasp ... are you down to maybe play tonight?  I should have some time this Saturday too. 

We should start new season characters that we use together and level up together.  Thoughts?

I have been playing the mess out of some Diablo 3 since the new season started. We should group up!

OOOO @Jack When did that happen?  I've been MIA on work tasks.      lol.

SO.... we should all do this.  @targetrasp 

I'm game to start a new season character.  I should have a little time this Saturday.  Are you guys busy tonight?

I checked out Zorin... I'm going to try to do it via VMware or virtual box.   Next up for me are Linux certifications - so doing a few things right now with Linux.    I will be doing Linux / SAP work in the near future.

LOL... you know... I remember these discussions years ago how they were going to push out games incomplete and then patch them.  I know old school games just had bugs in them... but it does seem like games are getting pushed out with more bugs these days.  Or maybe there are more people playing and testing them?  Or something.

Happy birthday, @MegaDrive20XX

A day late.... However enjoy your digital cake!   

A little late to the game on this one... this looks awesome... I'm going to check it out.  Definitely one of the best trailers in a long time.

WHo else checked this out?  Thanks for posting it @CreepinDeth  .  I'll probably do the 7 day trial thing.

@MegaDrive20XX did you end up checking it out?

lol...

@Grindspine -  and in the morning.... I'm making  - WAFFLES.

We might be talking about Lego Waffles.  I'm sure that's been done before.  AHEM:
Kelloggs Lego Eggo Waffles - theimpulsivebuy.com

@Snatcher_L LOL.. you bought 5 copies?! 

After a little time now, how well has this re-release been received?   Still going well?

A topic for the times... What should be done with Trophies, Gamerscores, and achievements that are no longer possible  to Achieve?

My opinion is - they should just give the trophies, Gamerscores, and achievements to the entire player base that has the game installed. You cannot delete them at take them away from the people who earned them already.  I don't think it's good to delete the record of those achievements either.

I started noticing achievements like this early on in PlayStation 3 History.  Games like Lord of the Rings: Conquest had online trophies to earn, but they could not be earned anymore.  The trophies were online play based and the servers were shutdown rendering them unattainable.

Feel Free to post up those you can no longer achieve.

Thoughts? Comments? post it up!   

If you liked the ones on the Genesis you'll love Mania. I'm still playing and I love it. It really scratches that nostalgia itch for me while being fresh and not some rehash. I can't recommend it enough.

@Polygon I'm going to check this out.  I've been seeing Sonic Mania on Sale here and there.   It's been awhile since I've really played through a Sonic game.   And good job training the next generation in Mario Kart LOL. 

@Strubes Your Playstation Rank just keeps exploding lol.    I need to platinum a game again.. it's been awhile since my last one.  I haven't platinumed many.  What's annoying is you cannot platinum certain games anymore because it was dependent on online features that no longer exist.   I'm going to start a topic on this.

So far... I made a little headway in Dead Star and played a few rounds of fort nite. The last 2 weeks have been incredibly busy ... I Don't expect this week to be better.

@targetrasp Unfortunately... this game had a very limited Physical Copy release.  Would've been good to pick up.   I think it may have been Japanese release only, but I would have to search to know that for 100% certainty.

LOL... I looked this up - it has a BASIC interpreter as well.

I probably will skip out on this one though I'm sure many are excited for it.

@targetrasp Do you have links and any other information?

@targetrasp @Snatcher_L  well... If you were necroing, you would be bringing something dead back to life.  I guess in that particular instance, you would be by posting lol.  But... once done, you're back to dead :  

I'm going to start posting new stuff here in a bit.  Having to handle some other stuff right now. 

I've wanted this title for awhile:

DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours 50% off - store.steampowered.com

If you take part of the deal, post it up!

LOL    Yes... and all with the best intentions.  You know how many of my friends don't understand that LOL.  Even the ones close to 30.

But seriously... I mean it this time.   

And... Diablo 3 new season is coming.  I'm definitely planning on that.  You know... you all can organize games together as well  But I'm definitely looking to get people together as much as I can for the new D3 season

I need to try that again... IT's been a long time since I've played this game.  I've never made it this far in the DS version.
