Man... I am pumped to see this movie. I probably have to wait until next weekend at this point.  It looks so good. 

I didn't think we had movie times that early.  But I'll be... we have a 930a showing in IMAX.  What in the world...?

Considering they used Trinity... I had higher hopes for the series.  The cookie Jedi was cool... and they really did kill off a significant number of Jedi in the series.

I didn't look at the negative comments, but my guess is that some of the negative comments revolve around the portrayal of the Jedi. 

Spoiler: ShowHide
I couldn't figure out why Sol killed their mother.  Unless he thought she was attacking or something... just not what Jedi do. I mean, they did start messing with their padewan's mind... but didn't "hurt" him.

Oh man... that's awesome.  We are trying to find a time to see the movie.  And now I want to see it even more... thanks @CreepinDeth  ;D

Did you see the video I posted?  Everyone went crazy on the doomsday announcement!

We watched Deadpool 2 again to refresh.

@retro junkie gotcha!  Xfce is pretty cool.   I've used mate, kde, gnome and others.  Xfce was always pretty nice.

IMO - Apple does a pretty good job with the Mac. One can argue one way or another at the value based off specs compared to a Windows machine ... and there are valid arguments both ways. However, Mac is pretty decent. Simple to use and operate in many ways.

Is anyone look at this title or already have it?  The physical copy of Nes World Championship has some pretty good Swag included.

Has anyone played this?  What are your thoughts?   Do you think the swag appears to be collectible?  Maybe @targetrasp can jump in there as well.

Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up!

@targetrasp - I missed it on sale again. It's back up to $40.  I'd love to get this game for $20.

I bet @retro junkie would jump on it as well.  Lol.  ;D
#339
Throwing a guess out there... I bet Marth ... I hope not... but Marth or Ike.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate really is one heck of a game and well done. It's definitely up there ... maybe at the top of the list of Smash Bros games.

Happy birthday @Grindspine a day early. However, I hope it's awesome.  :great:  Hopefully some birthday gaming or jamming is in the works.

That's pretty cool @retro junkie.  In a different post, I mentioned how I missed that glow sometimes.  It could mean there was an update, a message, or several other things.    It was always interesting as the light would start glowing at night. I would see the glow of the light on the ceiling. 

This is pretty cool  :great:  dig the post.  I'm pretty curious on why it's glowing lol  ;D   Though I'm not telling you to check and to interrupt the light

@CreepinDeth - I think that's a pretty good assessment.   Gamers have a hand in this for sure.

I will also say... it's not just gaming... what you see here is now a world-wide phenomena.  What does that mean?? 

The entire world has been stuck since just before 2000.  Salaries have been stuck for many... only until recently were salaries going up a bit.  I would argue it's only in some industries.  Cars... yeah, there's been technological improvements... but they all look the same.   Music ... almost everything is on the table now.  I would argue this is a great thing for many older established musicians though.  For newer musicians, there appears to be a rubber stamp they need to hit.  There are tons and tons of examples.

A rubber stamp has been figured out for many industries.  They don't really deviate from the formula.  Capitalism, we can argue, is the issue.  I would argue it goes beyond that ... it's the way of the world now.

I don't see an easy way out as creativity is not really rewarded outside a select few examples.

The acolyte just finished up.  Not sure I was a big fan of this series. I thought it started off interesting, but just not sure that I dug how it ended up.  Trying to keep an open mind on this one.

What are your thoughts?  Any one else check this out?

Oh man... it's back on sale $29.99 @targetrasp .  I was hoping it would've been $15 to $20 now.... but maybe this is as cheap as it gets.  There are times when these games just disappear of they don't sell out.  It seems they're stocking less and less these days.  Then again, I won't what the demand truly is for a title like this.

I might pull the trigger.

We started watching The Acolyte last week on Disney+.  This is a new Star Wars series that is ... I believe 100 years before Star Wars The Phantom Menace.

So far, this series started off pretty cool.  It's interesting how they portray certain aspects in certain light... but I won't spoil it right now.

Is anyone else watching?  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

Bad Batch... such a great show. 

When we were visiting family over the last couple months, we were watching NCIS Hawaii as well LOL... it was a decent series  :happydance:

Watching Acolyte now...

@Mai Valentine  Thank you for the heads up on Walmart.   I was just in our Best Buy... and they still have a game section.  It is reduced more after their last remodel.   Movies... Either I missed them or they are completely gone.

I do miss seeing the steel books... I am a sucker for steel books.   I know @Snatcher_L and @targetrasp are both suckers for steel books as well  ;D

Quote from: Mai Valentine on May 29, 2024, 08:33:02 AMI really enjoyed the Marvels but the singing planet part was a bit cringe even for me. I also don't think it's as rewatchable as Captain Marvel was, even though I do enjoy the cast of the Marvels a lot.
Captain Marvel was a great movie... they did an awesome job AND the music was great!  I agree with you... I don't think the Marvels will be as rewatchable.  There are several hilarious parts though... and the cast is great. 

Come on... you had to love the singing part LOL!  It was extremely hard to watch...  but I thought it was funny at the same time.  The cringe is real.

Woot woot!  Welcome back @Mai Valentine  and .... I know exactly what you mean.  Work and life been busy here lately with responsibilities and events. 

It's good to have you back and posting!  ;D

Has anyone seen this?  It looks hilarious.  It looks like the "Marvel's What If" series for Star Wars... done in Lego fashion:

No kidding - and the finale was awesome.

Did anyone else catch this?

I'm still under a ridiculous work load... I've been fairly absent in many things lately.  I am trying to get back to some normalcy.

Bad Batch Season 3 has kicked off on Disney+. This is probably one of my favorite series... absolutely phenomenal and this season does not disappoint.

Who has been watching this? What are your thoughts?

Thoughts, comments... post it up?

I've been under a pretty heavy workload lately... sorry I haven't been around as much.  Trying to break that habit!

I think that's fair @Grindspine

@retro junkie you know - there was something special about that character building. The 1st series of movies up to avengers could never be replicated. The feels, the stories... just epic.  I think that's part of why people have had some issues with many of the newer Marvel movies.   It's just different. It'll never be recaptured.

I guess I'm at that point where I've resigned that point.  Now I sit back and just watch the movies for what they are. I do miss the original work-up at times.  Hard to believe how fast that time went.
