I Found if I jump into multiplayer I never play the game.
I mean, i've only ever seen the end of one Halo game. If it wasn't for Xbox 360's achievements I probably wouldn't have even thought about playing the campaign. Call of Duty -- same thing.

That's exactly what happens to me.  I'm trying to work on the single player portions of many games.   Call of duty series... the worst game for my problem.

I've been getting the StarCraft 2 itch again something fierce..

LOL 127?!

I used to have 33 and ended up killing many.  I Think I have 13-17 now.   It's amazing at how many of the games became free to play!  I finally just deleted them.   do it, you'll probably feel better!

Yeah... it's small for that icon.  It took a bit to figure it out correctly in PHP.     

The plan is to get all the favicons set.  IE for IOS, Windows 10 Live Tile...and a few others.  This way... if a user sets the site as a favorite on whatever device (on the home screen), the icon will show up.

The small image above is a version of the group image from steam:

IOS and another style require a higher resolution image.   I will probably do the remaining higher res images in the style of the Steam and Discord group icons. 

That's interesting... I thought they were just an integral part of the account.  That's pretty funny... after all these years.

Would you like it if nested quotes are removed by default in posts?   that is where quotes are within quotes.

Post it up!

lol... Thanks.


BACK to the topic 

LOL... you seriously didn't have one?  Is that even possible?

When the PS5 comes out, the PS4 won't be a decade old. Maybe 6 or 7, so I wouldn't consider it retro until the PS6. Normally, I would agree with the 2+ generation argument, but the jump from SD to HD makes it a good cut off point in my opinion.

Ok. So we are saying Xbox 360 and PS3 stays in current.... wii,ds  falls off to retro. Wii U, 3ds and switch  are current.  Except... 3ds still plays da... 

Are we all on the same page there?  Only gray area would be DS in my opinion. 

Last...  any suggestions on moving posts for the future?  Ie once the 360 and PS3 move into retro land

Enjoy the digital cake in your profile! 

lol... I know it's a small icon... but did anyone check this out?

Yeah I've seen it, but it's hard for me to really separate the topics that are in that list. lol   It all kinda blends together. 

Kinda off topic, but is there a dark theme yet?

lol... well... there was

Some of the themes we tested didn't translate to mobile well.   At all...   So they were deleted.  At this point, we have the core, curve themes - those are SMF default themes.  The current CDG "default" is Vvide.   I plan to change this up a bit more and customize.  But Vvide really fits the bill.  Manas is still installed... you can check that out.  Doesn't translate as well to mobile.  Probably will dump that theme in the future.

I totally missed this one... just saw it by accident at Play Asia on the ads. 

I searched on Amazon and found this was released February 15, 2018:
Secret of Mana - Playstation 4 - Amazon.com

Oh man... I think I will have to break my no buying games rule twice this month... or next month:
1.) Burnout Paradise PS4 
2.) Secret of Mana PS4


Did anyone else know this was released?  Thoughts?

Speaking of SNES... I'm breaking out UN Squadron.  It's one of my favorite SNES games.

yeah... I'm not totally sold on it... not sure it helps.  We will probably remove these... we will see if others chime in on it.

Instead of going to every board, did you see the link in the forum states "View the most recent posts on the forum."  This will give you a list of all posts from newest to oldest.  It's just above the [more stats] link.

3rd shift is rough... I've had to work all 3 shifts on a few occasions lol...  and that is pretty awful.

That little picture to the left of the URL in your web browser... it's now added.  It's not as bold (color wise) as I want it to be... but

This is on the Vvide forum theme (which is our main theme).   

I'm also working on our forum logo...etc.  It's going to be centered around the Owl picture shown in the favicon.... but more so around the image on our Steam Page and Discord group (which is the same as the favicon but colors are natural).

Dangit... same result.   WHY IS THIS SO HARD?!?

hm... ok... so BNET, Skype, PSN are all being a pain.  What about XBOX LIve?   So far, it doesn't appear I can find anything on a profile link either.   This is rather dumb. 


I also found this:
https://www.playstation.com/en-us/my/public-trophies/
... I put in my name... shows my avatar... but then I see "Cannot find trophy information for this user."  LOL...    Give it a shot and let me know if you get better results.

I will try Facebook soon as well... that should be ok, but Facebook is an absolute pain if you do not "log in."   They barely let you see an account without logging in.

I guess you've got to ask yourself...  do you consider the song "My Humps" by the black eyed peas retro?

So might we consider (and hopefully this is a ton of work for BV)  current gen, previous gen, and retro destinctions?

LOL... that's a pretty amazing analogy.   Hats off to you sir.   AND in the same breath... I'm going to say... SUCK IT for the last comment lol.   Or did you mean "Isn't a ton of work for BV?"  If so, I take back the suck it comment.

These consoles are over a decade old. In technology years, that's a long time. I would consider them retro. Especially since they're the last to support the old 4:3 aspect ratio format.

See... That's exactly where I'm at.   And to Kinikko's point... Nintendo is ahead of the curve on this lol.   I'm leaning to the side they are retro as well.  We are talking 12-13 years ago the systems came out.  See... all points so far make sense and there's my conundrum.


I also struggle with the "we are posting in PlayStation for PS4 right now.  But when PS5 comes out... I will have to move all old PS4 posts to the retro board."  That may not seem like a big deal.. but it can be a pain and Search Engine links can be lost.  Now, I can do redirect topics when they move... but then you have a ton of redirect topics.

It makes more sense to have boards calling out the Specific systems... but for forums these days... that's too narrow topic wise.

Yes... Diggin it for sure.   

Invites were sent out  so hopefully more continue to come back. A few more stated they were looking at coming.   I think KirbyRockz said he was going to check it out as well.  Creepin - feel free to invite if you know others that would enjoy.

We sent invites to Bman, Mai as well several other members.  I don't think everyone has received the invites yet.

Burnout Paradise goes on my list as a must purchase for my XBOX one, right now.

YuS!    I'm getting it for the PLaystation 4... just shut up and take my money now... jeez...

Who'd have thought a Guns N Roses song would sell me on a game I'd completely discounted a decade ago...

LOL.. I know... it's such a great way to start the game as well... timeless, classic, might I say.... perfection?   I seriously think they achieved perfection 10/10 on this title.    I know that's a personal opinion... but  10/10.  Hopefully they don't ruin the remaster lol.

If anyone else is getting it for the PS4... I'll join up for multiplayer runs / achievements.

Awesome.  Glad that helps 

Topic is still rolling - feel free to post up.

I enabled (probably will disabled) last 10 posts on the bottom of the board in the Info Center.  It sort-of clutters everything a bit.  The whole last 10 post section is not there when disabled - the rest of the info center is though.

There is a link below that by stats to see the new posts at the forum.

Do you like the last 10 posts listed?  Or is the link at the bottom for all new posts good as it is?

Yes - There is an option in your profile --> Look and Layout.

I can set this by default... but In the past, not everyone wanted it.   I personally don't really care either way - if it's on, turn off... or vice versa.  But you can change that in your profile!

Kicking this board off!    Do you play games on your iPhone?  Samsung Galaxy?   or What phone / device do you favor?

This is under Console and Handheld gaming.  Please check it out ... tell me your thoughts on the new section.  I purposely left it "wider open" to adjust to the future a bit better.

Looking for organizational thoughts for our sections.  So we have the Retro section below Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony.     I edited those sections to clarify a few things.  However, I ran into a personal conundrum... IT's hard for me to consider PS3 / Xbox 360 / Wii era systems Retro at this time... However, do they fit the definition?

Part of the text I put in the board description for Xbox, Sony, and Nintendo follows:
Older system topics should be created in the Retro Gaming Board.

So what do you think?  This will determine all future organization of this section.  Obviously this will mold in the future... IE as other systems drop off "current" status... we will probably move those topics into Retro.  Or is that even a good idea...?   Sometimes these small details trip me up.

I appreciate the feedback and input.

The Verge - Burnout Paradise Remastered on XBOX One and PS4 - Release Date
Check this out... and ZOMG... I cannot wait.  I Will be buying it for the PS4... 1st day.  Don't care... breaking my no game buying until more backlog is cleared out rule.  This rule has been in place since 2016... and has largely been upheld sans a few releases and unavoidable steam sales lol

Who else is excited for this? 

I put this in the Xbox One Board... It needed a little more love. As title states... it covers both releases.

Gaming Deals could have sub categories for PC and Console? Might help the section stay neat and help people know whether the deal is for them or not.

HM... good idea - let me think on that one... what do you think of creating a new category called "The Gaming Market"... and move the gaming deals, pcdeals... and maybe creating a buy, sell, and trade boards on our boards.  The buy/sell/trade portion are thoughts at this time... not sure I want to invite that here yet or not.  There's some ugly stuff that can come from it.  There's a pretty cool upside to it as well.  Thoughts?

• Everyone Else... feel free to chime in on this one as well

Shameless self advertising section?  >.>  <.<   Lol. 

Mainly because I'm trying to get my twitch stuff going and it's verrrrrry slow going and would love for other people to see it.

LOL... So... to show off streaming and other people's channels and what-not?   cool idea... maybe we can figure out a way to integrate something like this for everyone.   Let's try to get ideas rolling on this one.

LOL you're welcome!   You can also upload avatars.   I think they delete once you change... but if you upload one and want to make it more permanent, I can save it and up load to the main avatar directory AFTER you upload one.

Welcome top the board, Creepin!  Glad to have you back

And also - Welcome TRKORECKY - Glad to have you back as well.

The band is getting back together is seems.

I have noticed this as well.  If you wait 60 seconds... does it change?   I'm wondering if that's a caching thing. 

I also noticed If I post somewhere... the blue icon is there as a new post.. even though I posted.   If I read it .. it goes away.
