What do you think?  Should we create retro gaming board?

I could put it in the consoles category.  Do you like the layout so far?  Like I mentioned, everything is moldable right now.

Lol.    Welcome retro! 

I played this a couple months ago... it's still pretty fun.   They sure made the game A TON better with Reaper of Souls.

Does anyone else still play?

So... you love to play PUBG and get Chicken Dinners.  So what's your strategy?

Are you more aggressive and go for people?  Do you wait for perfect drop while the blue circle closes?

I thought Mario + Rabbids was good. There wasn't as many moving pieces as Xcom which is to be expected factoring in Mario's target audience.

Yeah... I understand that.  It just looks like a lot of fun.

I've got it. Only game is Mario Odyssey which is pretty good. Not really aware of everything that can be done with the Switch in general. Looking for more decent games for it.

At this time, that's all I have as well.  Pretty good game.  We are going to play  Mario Kart at Work and looking into splatoon, but you can only play 1 per console then.

So you guys don't want to see any thing else?  OR prefer to see different categories, boards, or organization?

I think it phased out after he died and shared Cartman's body for a while.

Sounds about right -  Just surprised they never broke used it again.

Give it a shot... I'm curious on what you think.

Again... for Lego Works and stuff like that, it seems to work decently well.

Just a heads up, to ward off spam bots for the future, I have captcha somewhat high.  It's only on for registration and the 1st 2 posts.  After that, it should loosen. 

Please let me know if you see behavior other than this. 

Annndddd no

I want Splatoon 2 something fierce.  That will be my next buy.

What about Mario Rabbids?   Any good?  That looked like an awesome xcom Mario... but I heard some negative stuff about it that prevented me from getting it.

We are talking about bringing our switches to work and connecting them over lunch for multiplayer gaming. 

Yeah, upper end GPUs are basically impossible to find at MSRP. RAM prices are pretty bad too. Definitely sucks for gamers.

Yeah it does... because I'm getting the PC build bug.   Reality will hit soon and I'll remember I'm making myself wait 2 more years before a new build.  Sigh...

My 1st impression was very negative.  I looked at it... handled the controller once... put it back in the box.  It sat like that for over 1 year lol.  I texted Spartan and gave it a pretty rough review.

I have since used it and it's not as bad as my initial impression lead me to believe.   We use it in combination with a PS4 controller for Lego Worlds and other PC games.   IT worked pretty well for Lego Worlds and platformer style games... but I cannot say it works extremely well for other styles of games.

Ah, back when South Park was good!

crap.. I remember when they were still killing Kenny.  I don't think they ever brought that back, did they?

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

THIS IS KOAAALA!!

Every time I see rogue like in the tags section I weigh purchasing the game against the almost certain damage coming to my poor controller...

Rogue?   

lol yeah that comment reminds me... Super Monkey Ball and Super Monkey Ball 2... PLUS a wavebird.   Such a bad combination for controller health.

I noticed on Greenmangaming.com... Just Cause 3 XL Edition is $11.25

This is a pretty cool game... decent deal.

Trying to 100% a Lego game is too much like work. They're fairly simple to beat but you almost have to read a book to figure out every secret.

lol.. I hear you... it took me awhile to 100% Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 on the PS Vita.   It was relatively simple compared to some of the Lego Games.

This week on PS4 I have Yakuza 0. On PC I've been going through Subnautica, Hearthstone, and Dead Cells.

Spartan is playing Dead Cells as well... I'd like to check the game out.   Sounds interesting... but I'm on a no buy kick right now until I clear out more backlog.

I bought one... I think it's a great concept.  The idea of taking something like a console around and able to connect easily over at a friend's house (or other meeting place) for multiplayer gaming madness is a great concept.   It's a concept many consoles have lost...

I can't wait to get Splatoon 2.  Splatoon was a ridiculously fun game.

Around work... There's a couple guys that will get on the "Per Se" kick... once it starts, everything becomes "Per Se."

Can you restrict anyone else from using Angry Koala?

Now I think everyone will use it lol....


I don't think I can restrict avatar usage, no.

So far... any suggestions for categories and or boards?

Did you end up buying the steam controller?  If so what are your thoughts?

If you like a different controller / setup better ... post your setup!

Lol... that sucks. I still have a 3 year old build that runs everything max 1080p... so I haven't upgraded.  But I've had the bug to upgrade.


I looked into Newegg.com... they offer it at $799-820

I didn't realize the bit coin craze affected pc hardware.  It makes sense though.  And it definitely was popping / dropping.

Just a heads up... for now, you can upload your avatars.   Server location may change in the near future... but go ahead and upload. 

This feature probably will permanently stay. 

Does anyone still play Starcraft2?  I've been getting the bug to play again.  I really didn't play since Legacy of the Void came out.  They changed the game so much... it was a little difficult to adjust.

Speaking of that.. We should probably start a thread with user's Battle.net accounts.

I finally beat psp Lego Harry Potter years 5-7.  100% completed.

Going back to PSP Lego Lord of the Rings right now. 

I don't know why these Lego games are so addictive.

I saw the sections for AIM, ICQ, etc. were still there. Do any of these still exist? I'm pretty sure AIM died 15 years ago but was officially put to pasture just before Christmas last year. Skype, Kik, Facebook, I'm sure there's more frequented messenger services available.

personally I'd love to see a resurgence of some old school IM

Welcome target! Glad to have you back 
Good suggestions!   ICQ is coming back... I saw something on this. If I can find the article, I'll post it. ICQ was always pretty cool.

As for the others... not sure if they still exist but we will change some of the profile fields and add other ones soon. Definitely need to clean some stuff up with those.


Forum wise... the goal this time is to push to keep activity up and not just centered around if I'm here or not... a self surviving community so-to-speak. I know things took a hit when I had to concentrate on other life stuff. I'd like to avoid that this time and make it self serving and surviving.  This board isn't centered around a retail store now... so it's more of a fun side project. Not EGA2 as Mario says lol. 

Categories and boards.. they are all up in the air and able to be molded. If you guys would like to see something for discussion, have a better idea for organization, or feel there should be changes... we will look into it and do changes that make sense. So feel free to post up those ideas as well.

This vWide theme works pretty well ... also works well Mobile.  Layout is the best so far.

I will look at customizing later and taking the best from many different themes to make our own.  But for a quick and easy win, I Think vWide is a winner so far.  Thought?

Spartan (et all)... you mentioned testing themes.  I have about 5 installed right now.  As we move forward, most will be removed.

you can change your theme from your profile --> Modify Profile --> look and Layout.  I will say.. most do not work well on mobile devices for some reason.   The Blue and Curve themes (Core as well) work best on mobile devices.  Deep Blue would be the best sans some button formatting.

I plan to install 1 more tonight... let me know if you have a chance to test them and thoughts.  Hopefully other people will test these as well.
* yansima was promising... but mobile formatting of messages is not so great on my devices.  None of the fonts show up in the board messages.....
