I've just gotten used to using Google, although they have a new policy on images that is annoying (I think you can't download pictures) so if I really need something like that I might use Bing instead.
@Mai Valentine For downloading... I found I can right click and save as instead of the full image link Google used to have.  It seems they did that due to a lawsuit.

I use bing and Google.  There used to be a ton more, but seems most of the Internet has moved to Google and Bing.  Duckduckgo.com has become pretty popular as of late as well.

@targetrasp lol... I forgot about that. They also added ginormous.

OK. So far only Google and Bing.

General Discussion / Happy Birthday Snatcher_L

Happy birthday Snatcher_L. Enjoy your digital cake! @Snatcher_L

@Kinikko I agree with you.  There's probably a cost to what they do...  which is why they made the decision. However, it sucks to see the Vita losing support. It would be cool if they made an updated version...  Ooooo  mobile 4K lol. 

@targetrasp good call on that. I lost a year of my life there. Thanks for helping me to get it back lol.

This is me being OCD, but why is there a big gap between FB and Twitter buttons?  XD
Lol same here. I think it's normal and even spaced in the main theme. It has something to do with the current them.

Definitely  will look into it lol.  The additional space should be between Google and twitter. Should be same sized space as Facebook to Twitter.

Hopefully this will be handy and of help.

you will see the buttons on the 1st post.    This will allow you to share posts to your social media accounts.

Hope this helps and comes in handy. 


Post up comments, questions, etc.

The @mention mod is now installed.  This allows you to notify others via the @ tag.    For example:
@mastermario

This will notify mastermario that I mentioned him in this post.  Once you type @ and start typing a members name, it will auto populate names like Discord and other services.

For existing members, I did not turn on the email option for when you're mentioned / notified

For new members... its on by default like Facebook or Discord.

The messages are only online for 7 day. If you want Emails (or don't want emails) - the setting to turn on/off is in Profile --> Mentions.  There is a check box to turn emails on and off.

Please let me know if there are questions.
#2737
Lol.. Do you feel too many are sent ?   Ie by my announce topics?

I send those periodically to try to let people know stuff is going on and to try too get others back here and posting.

Ah.... NiGHTS Journey into Dreams.  I remember having issues with the controls in this game... it was a good game though.

It appears we had a topic on this at one point  ;D   Delve into the Blast from the past:
Sega's New NiGHTS Game for Wii – Confirmed - spong.com

Also:  nights 2 official - ign.com

So that means... roughly 21 years ago, NiGHTS into Dreams came out on the Sega Saturn.  About 11 years ago... NiGHTS Journey into Dreams made it to the Wii.... I think we are due for another NiGHTS game, no?

Did you buy this game?  What are your thoughts about it?  Has anyone replayed it recently?

Thoughts? Comment?  post it up!

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?

General Discussion / Re: Video Game Voice Actors
March 22, 2018, 10:00:13 PM
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.

PS4 Pro - Star Wars Battlefront 2 - Amazon.com


I think the design is awesome. 

Post up your thoughts.
#2746
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.

#2747
This is the option :

Turn notification on when you post or reply to a topic

This way you are notified/emailed when there is a reply to a topic you commented on.   

Post it up!

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

After March 8, 2019, the Monthly Games provided to PlayStation Plus members will no longer include PS3 or PS Vita titles. Any PS3 or PS Vita Monthly Games downloaded or previously added to your Download List will remain playable for as long as you remain a PlayStation Plus member.

This was March 1st.  Meant to copy it earlier.  The March 8 deadline has long passed.

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:
Star Wars Battlefront II - PlayStation 4

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.

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

Post it up.

BANNANNNAAA!! Lol
#2754
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...   ;D

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? 

#2757
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.

Lenovo Legion Y720 (80VR00J0US) 15.6" Intel Core i7 Gaming Laptop- newegg.com

Looks good... pretty good price.  I wouldn't mind an upgrade too lol....
#2759
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

Polygon Article:
PUBG Mobile is live on Android, iOS - polygon.com

Forbes states:
QuoteYou'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  ;D

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?
