Still watching Agents of Shield. Into season 5 at the moment.

How is it?  You are now 1 season ahead of me.

Finished the Twisted Metal show and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Season 1 is only 10 episodes but there didn't seem to be much filler. I do recommend it if anyone wants something to jump into but don't want to watch multiple seasons.

This peaked my interest, but life right now is not allowing for a lot of extra time.  The months of July and August were both spent on a family event thing and health issues. If our subscription is still active, I might check this out when things calm.

@CreepinDeth  - I 100% agree.  Those scenes you highlighted were amazing... and were an enjoyment to watch. Top notch.


@retro junkie — have you been keeping up?


What are your thoughts @mastermario @SpartanEvolved @Grindspine @targetrasp ?

Hopefully they expand on this a bit more... I think we'll find out a lot more in the Marvels... I also think we'll see a tie in based on what we saw in Secret Invasion.

Definitely dug the series... odd ending... but proper, I think lol.

@CreepinDeth @retro junkie @Grindspine @targetrasp @SpartanEvolved @mastermario --> any additional thoughts?

Great post @retro junkie !   Funny thing is... I was just logging into post this and saw you did!   

Life has been extremely busy the last 2-3 months with many family and life events occurring.  Free time has been at a minimum... but we were able to sneak in the last 3 episodes of Ahsoka.

I agree.. it doesn't have the Star Wars feel... but I attribute that to the intermediate time they are in between war, change, and many other events occurring in the time line.  To me, the animated Clone Wars series had the same feel in many areas of the series.

I'm excided to see where this heads... hopefully they expand on the series.  I've been waiting for Ahsoka for awhile!  They teased early on with the trailers.

BTW... it was awesome to see everyone this weekend!  Great times indeed.

LOL @Grindspine - you need a portal cake.  That's awesome!

I found Angry Birds Star Wars new for the PSVita for around $10.00 .. I ended up buying it.  I played this game for the PS4... but thought it would be fun to have it for the PSVita.

Does anyone else have it?  I doubt many people still play the PSVita anymore.  I know @retro junkie has his... but not sure who else here still has their Vita.

Thoughts, Comments... post it up!

It's been awhile.. but finally breaking out Animal Crossing New Leaf again.  I have about 3 fossils left to collect... and working on completing a few things.

I know most people have moved on to the Switch version, but is anyone still playing this game?

thoughts? comments?  post it up!

@retro junkie yeah... I was getting accustomed to some of the Apple shortcuts as well.  Then the Apple Pen shortcuts...etc..etc. 

That's cool you're getting accustomed to your new device.  This is a bit after your last post... are you running circles around it now? 

Happy Birthday @Grindspine --> A Day late, however, please enjoy your digital cake.

Also --> if you get the gift of gaming, post up your spoils! 

The 1st one was a Blu-ray buy for us as well.  Just didn't know enough about it.  At least that's how I remember it 

Once you check it out... post up your comments. 

Yeah... the last episode was pretty great.   Except...  now we are seeing another plan that will cause an issue.  Not sure where/how this will get resolved.

Spoiler: ShowHide

I'm not happy Talos actually died... and not happy that Maria was killed as well.  It was crazy to see Rhode locked up for so long... I mean, we knew it was happening.  I am glad they resolved that.   You also cannot kill off Ross.  I am also glad they did not touch those characters.

Again... I wish we had more than 6 episodes.  This series really needed about 10 episodes and maybe 45 min each, not in the 30's towards the end.   I guess they could've gone too far as well.

Ugh... I've been avoiding Diablo 4 @mastermario ... I want the game really bad.  I hear it is amazing.  We probably need a new topic for this

No one had a chance to check this out?  Did anyone check out the 1st spider-verse ?

Lol they legit died 12 years ago... at least.  In fact, I'm sure they died after a certain version of forum software.   No one does flash games anymore lol

YeaH... there were a couple other parts that were mission impossible'd as well.

Spoiler: ShowHide

I really hope Ilsa didn't die or they retract that death somehow.  She was a buttkicker all the way... but I think she's dead for good.

Also,

Spoiler: ShowHide

Yeah... flying through the train window - I see this inflicting more damage to Ethan than was shown.  It was hilarious for sure... but I think internally he would've been a bit more jellified.

You've had 5 years, beat it yet? Haha

Lol maybe... might have been over covid break. 

It's been really difficult lately to get to the theater. Just been working and then not feeling like going out from being mentally spent. Looks like this will be another Disney+ watch for me.

@CreepinDeth - yeah ... I'm in the same boat right now.  We are launching a product and the last 8-9 months have been very busy.

My Guess is there will be informational backfill during the Marvels. The previews seem to hint at this. 

Episode 4 was much shorter and had more shocking stuff in it:

Spoiler: ShowHide

and they better have not killed off Talos.  Man... I will not be happy.

It will be hard for them to resolve everything in the next 2 episodes... I guess we will see how they do it.

Anyone watch the Hulu show The Bear?

@CreepinDeth - I have not.  I'm a bit backlogged, but I'll see about checking it out.  @SpartanEvolved @Grindspine @mastermario  — have you checked this out?

So far with Agents of Shield, I like the show even though I have disliked where they have taken some of the characters and their relationship with each other. I hope they have some victories. Most of the writing so far has been gloomy and defeating to the characters.

I really liked season 2. Imo it started to pick up... and it is a bit gloomy at times.  I think some of the relationships are odd ... a bit forced. But you never know if they are real or not...  or if someone is using someone or spying / juicing for information

We just got out of the theatre for Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1... the movie is great. I don't know if anyone has plans to see this... but I highly recommend. 

The movie start to finish sans a couple parts is 100% solid. 

Anyone looking forward to this movie?  Thoughts, comments... Post it up

Same here @CreepinDeth @retro junkie man... we couldn't believe that happened.  Same response... what the?!

Spoiler: ShowHide

we were like you can't do that to her... on the 1st episode... come on.  I'm half expecting to see Coulson again too for some reason     Come on Disney... do it! 

For those who are fans of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this marks the 2nd film of the animated series.   Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is follows along with the same animation style.

We ended up seeing it in theatres last weekend.  It was still the cool animation style.  There were a number of unexpected twists... we cannot wait for the 3rd installment of the series.  IT's hard to say whether the 1st or 2nd movie was better. So far, both have been well done.

Who saw this movie? or are you looking forward to the movie?  post it up!

 

Started watching Agents of Shield season 1. This is my first time watching this series.

@retro junkie nice!! We just picked it back up again as well.  I really enjoy Agents of Shield... at least so far.

No @CreepinDeth @Grindspine @targetrasp @SpartanEvolved @mastermario ?

I've been waiting for Secret Invasion for a long time.  If I remember right, it was delayed at least once as well. It just came out!

So far, this show is off to an interesting start.  I think they did pretty well and the list of actors is awesome.  I'm glad to see Nick Fury back at it (this is obviously not a spoiler). I won't go too far for now to avoid spoilers.

Who's pumped for Secret Invasion?   Have you been looking forward to it starting?  Post it up!

I think I may buy this one. It's a shame they don't have better multiplayer for it though matches could take a very long time. 

10% off right now but still $50+

Advanced wars is awesome though... outside complaints of multiplayer, it seems like this game is holding up and highly rated.

@targetrasp you take it back!!  Come on.man, you gotta play it!

It was a great game! 

@retro junkie — 1st off.  Great post and review. Sorry I missed this one for so long - Seriously high five on This one...  you have a number of great reviews. 

Viewpoint 64... I have Viewpoint on the Neo Geo CD. I wanted it on the Neo Geo AES, but it was always so expensive.  It's pretty great on the Neo Geo CD.

I always wanted this game on the Nintendo 64. It's really weird they never released it. At one point, I would've swore I saw one... but obviously that's a bad memory. I'm recalling a different game. 

It's cool you were able to score this. Did you finish viewpoint 64 yet?  If it can be finished...

Well... I finally get around to playing G Darius last weekend.  It truly is a bizarre title.  Even in the HD remaster setting, G Darius is still a bit rough on the eyes.  But... if you go back to the original, you REALLLLY see how rough it was.

I originally mentioned the game in this discount game thread: G Darius - PS4

The Fish based bosses are pretty crazy.  I guess I missed this game as I don't recognize it at all.  It looks like it was originally released on the Playstation.  Did any play this on the Playstation in it's original iteration?
