Looking to start a gaming night - maybe once every 2 weeks at 1st.   I know  a lot of us are pretty busy right now... but thinking of ways to get more of us gaming together.


We've kicked around ideas about Diablo 3, Rekindling Left for Dead 2, and a couple others.   

This would be posted / scheduled on the board... and posted in the steam group and other platforms.  Communications would be done via our discord group.

Thoughts?   Availability?   Looking to MAYBE do this on Sunday evenings... though may need to rotate days.  Just kicking this around now.  Post it up!

Done

Now if only I had the Thumbs up done that quick   Need to find the proper images.

Dig the review @retro junkie - Good Stuff.

@Grindspine SOO... About that ending 

@CreepinDeth I can't wait for the next avengers movie as well.  IS that next year? OR do we have to wait longer?  *Starting to get the shakes*

@Jack   LOL... it's so frustrating too.

I know... I agree with everyone else.  I was PLEASANTLY surprised at this movie.  They did such a great job.  I have to say... there have been A LOT of great movies this year... and more I ended up opting to just rent later on to save money.  There definitely were others I wanted to see.

@CreepinDeth and @targetrasp   - Did you end up getting one of these?  2 months later... what are your opinions?

Did anyone else get one?  If you did... post up your experiences.

@retro junkie Wow... I didn't realize this existed!  Very nice review - This is very cool.   The screen looks very clear - I am very impressed by it.   And the portability lol... a little larger than the Atari Lynx... the Lynx was no slouch device size.  But to have something like this for the NES is pretty cool.  I've seen another device, but cannot remember the name of it at this time.  It was a few number of years back.  Though the screen didn't look as nice as the Gamerz Tek 8-Bit Boy.  I'm also glad to read that it's good in the sound department.   Mobile / handheld devices are getting better and better as small scale speaker technology progresses.

Great review Retro Junkie -    ... we need thumbs up Emoticons.  I will get on that.

Also, if you have a chance...  I suggest providing a link to the company's website.

I'd probably be willing to play if I had other people to play with. I got to like level 23 or so when the game first released and got bored with it because I had nobody to play with.

@Kinikko I'm thinking about getting it on the next GOOD sale.  I think @Grindspine picked this title up recently and has been playing with @mastermario and @SpartanEvolved.  Maybe we can get everyone playing.

Does anyone else here play?

ok

lol... @Grindspine  - ok.    Maybe tomorrow.  I'll see if I can get something moving tomorrow on this.   I'll post in the Multiplayer gaming section to see if we can move this forward.

@Jack - I saw that... it has been going on a bit.  It would be cool to run up a character though.  Not sure which one to do yet.   

it'd be nice to know what number it was before opening it

LOL... AH... there in lies the mystery @targetrasp 

@targetrasp Well... my plate is numbered to 40,000... so there has to be at least that many.  I will write a full on review soon with pictures.  The metal case is cool, but not exactly what I had in mind and the manual doesn't fit in that case.  Still pretty cool and the extras are pretty cool for what I've seen in some collectors editions.

mine came early, it's still wrapped though...

I don't think there was a lot of hype about this game so i'm guessing there's not going to be a ton of them made. I may keep this copy intact and wait to find a used copy at a game store, or watch them go on sale for cheap somewhere.

@targetrasp I ordered a couple more 

I'm opening mine TONIGHT... or tomorrow lol.  Time is tight tonight.

Dude, I eat peanut butter and honey sandwiches all the time. It's my go to when I'm craving something sweet.

@Jack LOL... I know... it's amazing.  They are my go to if I need to do sports or high intensity workouts after work.  I eat one about 2 hours ahead of time.  Boom... They are perfect and decent for you too. 


@Kinikko - that sounds really good... They aren't dry...etc?  Air Fry makes me thing the food would be dried out more.

BANANA for me... and peaches are really good right now.

I have a Twitter account for my stagnated YouTube channel. I don't really use it. That may change when I start making videos again, but I might have to make a new Titter account for that. I've thought of making a personal account as well. I just don't know if I would really use it.

@Polygon - What did you do for your Stagnated Channel?

Ok... I've been more and more interested in Overwatch.  Some of the elements of Overwatch really look like TF2.

I know @mastermario plays... and @SpartanEvolved.  Mastermario is trying to get @Grindspine ... I may pick this game up on the next sale.

Who else plays overwatch?  Would anyone be interested in joining other CDG members to play?

Post it up!

@Jack   Add me on Battle.net:
Bluevoodu#1431

You can also put your info in the battle.net topic.  At some point, I'll have battle.net in the profiles.

I have  Diablo 3 ready to go again on my laptop.  So... @targetrasp @Grindspine and @Jack ... I think it's time to play.  I never did buy necromancer though.

@Kinikko and @lamer (kirby) ... It would be cool if we cool get you in there as well.

I think it's time for some season 14 run throughs.  THoughts?

The subject ^^^^^         So... Working on some ideas - in addition to the development currently underway.


I know @Kinikko and @MegaDrive20XX uses it... @Jack Do you use it as well?

How about @CreepinDeth @trkorecky @HylianSeven @Baker_Beezy @Polygon @Strubes @Mai Valentine @Boomsickle @Zidart @ThravRande @Icy @Helskyth @Frodus?

Post it up!

I checked this out @targetrasp They have some pretty cool videos.  Of course, the guy is from Norway lol.  He does a couple hilarious dances in one of his videos.   I had to watch the feel good Inc metal cover LOL...



@ThravRande ... you may appreciate this one as well.

Great @targetrasp ... not I forget...  Did they actually kill this one off?

I mean... he's dead now... but Does that mean he couldn't have been mace?

sigh... that movie... It didn't stick in the brain.

@Jack, @mastermario  --> I will contact you both.  I tried texting @mastermario last night. 

I agree with your suggestions @Jack ... and as long as the URL and everything will show ChickenDinnerGaming.  I would like to get back on the page and check a few things out as well.

Personally... I haven't used Facebook in .............. 4-5 years.  I quit the habit. Hopefully I can sign into the EGA page and not have to re-open my account.  Not sure that's possible.

I sure wish they would make an N64 Classic like the others. The games to include are pretty much no-brainers.

I thought it was really cool that they finally released Star Fox 2 after all these years for the SNES Classic. Blew my mind.
I wonder if they might could find some games that were lesser-known or maybe even never released in the US or something, to include on the N64 Classic as well?

Honestly, instead of an N64 Classic, I wish they would do an HD remake of Mario 64 (or Sunshine pleaaaasee) since they've done it with a few games lately (mainly Zelda games, which have been fantastic) so why not give some other games the same treatment? That would be rad.

@Icy How is Star Fox 2?  I think we need a Star Fox 2 topic... this is something I wanted to explore for awhile.

Sunshine Remake would be awesome... I'd be down for that NOW.

Considering HDMI mods can put a N64 in the $400 range (not sure if pricing has come down now)...  I would be down for an N64 classic.  It would be nice for HD remakes of some of the games.  The resolution of N64 on todays screens... it's just not workable... and ugly.  You really need an older CRT to enjoy.  The HMDI mods I've seen for the N64 really bring out the brightness and colors - night and day difference.  If they did this with the N64 classic... it would be perfect.

@Kinikko How is Mario Kart on the 3DS?  LOL... .I used to love that game. 

The Metroid 3DS was pretty cool looking as well.  Not sure anything beats the Majoras Mask version @retro junkie  has.  Lucky     The SNES styled one ... I wanted to jump on it too.  Pfft... Nintendo... making us want to buy more versions of hardware because they look cool. 

yes! I got the same thing @targetrasp  NICE!  I will be opening and playing Saturday lol 

Still debating picking up a couple more...

Wasn't Out of this World the bigger hit? why no crazy remake retro packaging for that one?

Well... out of this work was 1st @targetrasp

This game came out as a "fluid motion" and somewhat of a technical master piece (in its own way).   price of Persia used the multiple frames of animation styling - which I looked up and was called rotoscope.  I had to look this up because I couldn't remember lol... yes... I'll admit that.  so... FlashBack used this same technique to get uber fluidity to the animation.

According to what I remember and read... Flashback was a pretty big Commercial success.  I don't think Out of This World made it that big.

Update:  Here's more information at the FlashBack Wiki Page

@mastermario lol!  That's. steal!! Buy it now.

@Jack and @mastermario - What say you?

Parker gets that crap all the time and just deletes it. Once he killed 3 or 4 with one trap he picked up as those same people had him dead to rights. It's like winning an all in hand with a straight you picked up off the river card. Complete luck but it's awesome when it happens and pisses off everyone else involved.

@targetrasp HAHA! Oh man... that's awesome.   Someone hit me with their trap a couple weeks ago.  I was pisssssedd off.   

I never seem to get anyone with my traps. I have a 10+ kills with them... but few and far between.

Good stuff @Kinikko !

OOOOOOOooooooo   Thank you, @Kinikko Very very cool.  sigh.... I want one now lol.  So the graphics look tackier in real life?    that's sort-of a bummer.

Did you have a 3DS XL (older version)?   I have one from 2013 ... I think it is.  Just curious if there is a weight difference between the new and the old.

As far as the screens... I can definitely see yours is brighter.  The reviewer must be able to see something their picture doesn't show.  I cannot see a marked difference... maybe it's something with the brightness that throws something else off?

Thank you @Kinikko Good stuff!

@targetrasp That is very true.  I've been thinking about buying and selling - A LITTLE BIT here and there.  Nothing like I was.  The formula is pretty easy... but it's the years you have to wait - which could be worth it for a little space and no harm no foul.  Then you think about what you made on that purchase... or if that $$ would've made a little more in the market.

@retro junkie - It's definitely an interesting game.  Not something that will keep a lot of attention for super long periods of time... but you know how those games were made back then.  It was fun to play... interesting.  AT LEAST... that's how I remember it 

LOL... DSS called.   Weee Wooo Wee Wooo   

That really SUCKS... I know it's tough to be a manager at times too.   I wanted to be a manager for years, but not sure I want to get out of technical now.  I guess I could be a technical manager... anyway...

And fair enough on the moving and getting a head set.  I created a PS4 headset topic... we will see what I come up with and if it's less than 4 months lol.
