SpartanEvolved and I ended up playing Star Wars BattleFront 2.

I will post up a PC topic soon... it's a pretty good game.  Definitely worth the sale price noted in thread:
Star Wars Battlefront 2 - PC - Origin sale $23.99 topic

I believe the sale is only until the 25th?  Either way... If you get it  or have it, post up and we should get a group playing.

What Internet search engines do you currently use?     What do you favor and why?


Post it up!

Was Ali Hillis pretty cool?  Meaning a down to Earth person?    Where did you get to meet her in person.  It's amazing how voice acting has developed... and those who do it become somewhat of a celebrity.   Who originally would've thought voice acting would've lead to that?   Maybe it was fairly obvious... though early on video game voice actors didn't fair as well (popularity wise) as those of more recent years.

We should create the opposite of this thread as well - cringe worthy voice actors / video game actors.    Some of the early Command and Conquer acting would go well here.  BUT to be fair... Video game Acting was something very new and had to start somewhere.

I know what you mean on Star Wars... they've really tried to recapture that Imperial Star Destroyer flying over head.  I didn't get to see it in theatres until the remakes with additional scenes.

I really likes Episodes 1, 2, and 3... many don't agree... but I thought they were great movies and enjoyed watching them.

As of late, it appears they (producers) struggled to come up with a direction.  This would be post sale Star Wars.   Rian Johnson and J. J. Abrams didn't collaborate their story lines... At least that's the word on the street.  Not sure how you're given something like Star Wars and you don't collaborate the versions to T.

Star Trek... I loved the last 3 movies.  Every movie has been done well AND There's not much to complain about.   Some people had issues with Star Trek Beyond (last movie released).  But... I liked it. 

I'm wondering who made out better on that deal.  It seems like you  walked away pretty well situated.  Nice!  Do you remember the AES games you walked away with that day?

I still have an AES cabinet - Traded a brand new PS2 for it lol... and drove to get it.  I really need a new MVS board with proper connection as mine has the harness.  Works perfectly visually but sound is no go due to the board.  Another topic another time on that one.  I need to revisit the Neo Geo in some posts here.


I remember playing Rogue Squadron for the 1st time.  That game still looks pretty good today.  Back then... it was beautiful and the sound was great.   We were coming of the PSX and N64 eras...  so the Gamecube was a very nice upgrade.

Just got through with some homemade burritos and tacos.   

Those sound pretty good.  I made BBQ Spinach Enchiladas a few years back and cannot find the recipe.  Took a long time to make... but they were good.  I know I Know "spinach enchiladas?!?!"  Man .. they were tasty.  This is coming from a carnivore.

I saw this today on amazon... I dig the design of the Star Wars Battlefront 2 Playstation 4 styled system. 

Picture is attached.

I think the design is awesome. 

Post up your thoughts.

Has anyone tried this game on a 4K TV yet?  There's supposed to be 4K enhancements... but not sure how much better it really looks.

It's not too surprising... but it does suck to see it happen.

For the Deals section... if it's on a PC versus console platform sale... we should create different topics.  Since Xbox is not a part of the sale... only Ps4 is listed.

As stated in the EA Removes Battlefront 2 Pay to Play News Thread... SWBF2 is on sale!

Looks like it's $25.99 on Amazon for PS4:

Anyone going to get this game?

BAck in November... EA was supposed to have not included Pay 2 Win schemes... but gamers proved it was still possible to... pay to 2win in Star Wars Battlefront 2.  NOW after a huge back lash and stock beating... they've fully removed pay 2 win...  indefinitely (for now).  This appears to actually be ALL EA games in the future (at least near future).   

One article I found:
Star Wars Battlefront 2 Will Completely Remove Paid Loot Crates and Star Cards - usgamer.net

Spartanevolved bought the game... I Think I am now as well.  There is a sale on Origin... I Will list that in the Game sale thread.

Is this enough to bring you back to play the game?  I'm hoping the online community isn't degraded so much now that it's impossible to get into a game (Titanfall 2 sad face anyone?).

Post It up!   Post up other news articles you have found as well.

03/22/18 - Maybe 930-10 EST.

Looking at Diablo 3, PUBG, Left 4 Dead 2... or another idea if you have one. 

Post it up.

BANNANNNAAA!! Lol

I voted Star Wars.  I have to say though.... The Star Trek movies of late have been very very good.  Into Darkness was extraordinarily well done. 

Simon Pegg as Scotty is brilliant and a perfect cast for the role.  Then again, I like Simon Pegg movies.

I just unwrapped it about 830pm today. I played for about a half hour, and realized I'd never played this game before. I swear I thought I had but I had it confused with the Secret of Evermore.

I really need a map now

LOL!  that's funny...

Nope... don't remember that in the game.  Nope... don't remember that either.  Did they add a bunch of new stuff?!  It's like a whole new game lol...   

Good Read and Review, Helskyth!   


I have not had a chance to do a lot with the Dynasty Warriors Series.  I've wanted to try it several times.  Maybe I'll hop in with Dynasty Warriors 9.

How does fishing work in the game? 

I Saw this... it's about $520 off... looks cool and good spec.  Side by Side with other laptops... certain laptops only had 256GB SSD... others had better screen but less graphics card.

Looks good... pretty good price.  I wouldn't mind an upgrade too lol....

I have not installed this yet... but noticed that PUBG has arrived on Android and iPhone OS and best yet... it appears to be free!

Forbes Article:
'PUBG' Is Now Live On Android And iOS -- Here's How To Download And Play It - forbes.com

Forbes states:

You'll need a persistent online connection to play. Recommended specs for getting the most out of PUBG Mobile: Android 5.1.1 or above and at least 2 GB RAM. You'll need iOS 9.0 or later and an iPhone 5s or later to play on Apple products.

Has anyone tried this yet?  I'm downloading and will try soon.  Time for some Mobile Chicken Dinners!  MMmmmmm 

Post it up!

The Phrase "Winner Winner Chicken Dinner" has many theories to its origin and is used in several movies... and in video game(s).

Where have you heard it and what stories have you heard surrounds the phrase?

Post it up!

I can see what you mean... I've rewatched the Harry Potter movies tons of times and haven't re-watched fantastic beasts. 


I still like the movie though.  And the new movie is a side quest at best.  So ... side kick in a side quest.   

It's still cool to watch and I'm looking forward to this one.  The trailer looks pretty good.

Ended up going to McDonalds and getting food for myself because they didn't buy enough for everyone and since I don't play with them anymore they ate all the food without me...

I missed this addition... that's not cool. 


Eating some ckooookkiiieesss

Ok.... I've seen a few commercials on this game.  Not sure exactly what I Think... but hey, free cardboard cutouts are included!

Here's the official Nintendo Site:
Nintendo Labo Official site - labo.nintendo.com

The slogan is "Make, Play, Discover."  All I can think of is when SpongeBob and Patrick when they were playing with the Cardboard box:


I mean... I get the concept but it seems super limited unless they will eventually offer new kits.  I'm envisioning expensive Nintendo cardboard kits.  Maybe I'm just being short sighted on this.


1st Look Video on Youtube:


I had to laugh a little at the fishing one... even though I'm a sucker for some fishing games.  Outside some cool cardboard creations... I just don't see where this is going to go.  It's creative... but it's a bit short on the longevity.    I'll give it this... AT LEAST someone is trying something new and not just running with cookie cutter creations. 

So... are you interested in this title?  What are you looking for (or not).  Post it up!

Poll it up -  What do you choose and why?

OOOKKK... seriously. What the hell are you doing or is this game doing?  Lol.  You have a time of 11.60 on 2nd Street as well... that street goes on forever.   I've been researching this because you have a couple streets with impossible times.  No one is reporting a glitch like this yet - as far as I can see.

EDIT:  I'm confused as to what's going on.  Your time on ANGUS Wharf changed.  That's the one that was originally 11.60-11.62 seconds.  Now it's just sub 40... wth...

Say What?!   Yes - I bought a BlackBerry Motion.  I've been a long time BlackBerry (curve, bold, torch - x2, passport) and iPhone/iPad (iPhone 3, 4, 5, 7) user...  I've used Palm Treos (both Palm and Windows Mobile), Microsoft Mobile, Symbian, and several other OS style of phones.  Why did I buy a BlackBerry Motion?    I say... because why not?!  The have given up on the BBOS... to be fair though, I liked the BBOS... they just had a lack of support.

With that said... the battery life and Design of the phone are awesome... better looking than most of the phones out there.  BlackBerry has done pretty well with style in the past... and their touch screens have improved over the years.  Is there a reason to buy this and not another Android based phone... not really.   It's not the MOST powerful Android out there... it's also not near as expensive.  And the battery life (as I mentioned) is REALLY good with heavy use.  I went about 2 days and I was at 23%.  Decided to charge at 21%

The reviews on Amazon are pretty good:

Here is a Crackberry article with Video:
BlackBerry Motion - Top 5 Features I'm Loving So Far! - Crackberry.com
* NOTE... the best part of the video is when they flush the BlackBerry Motion and then use it lol....


TheVerge agrees with the sentiment that there's not a lot of reason to upgrade to it... and I get it.  Again, the phone isn't the most powerful.  I feel the casing is one of the better designed, there's good nostalgia value, and the screen looks pretty good.  They certainly did bring the sexy back - Look at the back of the phone on the BlackBerry official site above.

Engadget likes the phone more than Theverge... they have a pretty good review here as well:
BlackBerry Motion review: It's all about the battery life - engadget.com
* note... they note the camera is not the greatest... and it's really not an Uber camera by any means.  But with all my camera tests so far... the images look pretty good.  Hard to complain about really - you would start getting into 1st world problems.

Post up  your thoughts and comments!

Since Cannon has changed so much after the sale... They could do that.  Although before the sale... Clone wars Animated was considered Cannon I thought, right?  with Cannon changing ... it's hard to really solidify what is and isn't cannon.  You have the "purists" stating - It was this was... so it will always be this way.... AND you have others stating "finally a direction... let's solidify this an cannon now."

Either way... This would be a very cool spin and makes a lot of sense.

More movies need to be made on the series... Not sure what to think of Solo right now, but somewhat looking forward to it.

LOL... just don't black list Chicken Dinner Gaming at work     Yeah... that sucks... there's a lot to take interest away from work.


This is pretty insane:

In 1 day...  Easy come easy go.... obviously he'll get it back when Facebook recovers... but that's a boat load to lose in value in 1 day.
