its amazing how long a game can stay in the backlog.

Dude!  Come on @targetrasp lol!!  Seriously!!??  This one you have to play

@CreepinDeth - have they shared any thoughts since release?

@retro junkie - this definitely is not a Vita replacement.  It's more-so a remote player for the PlayStation 5.  I'd love for this to be a new Vita that played PS5 games as well    this is truly a pipe dream.  I still play my Vita.  But maybe this is appropriate for you as well - it's better to have loved and lost than never have loved at all!   

@retro junkie This game looks interesting. It appears to perform really well on the NES based on the video you posted. 

Thank you for sharing!  It's cool to see games like this.  Who homebrewed this game?  It's cool there are people still home brewing games like this.

At one point in my old business, I wanted to sponsor home brews and sell them through the site.

Did you make it beyond the 1st level?? 

We just 100% completed and platinum trophied Lego Harry Potter Remastered: Years 5-7 for the PS4 / PS5

This one was definitely easier than Years 1-4. It's also the favorite of the Lego Harry Potter series.  Both are a lot of fun... it's just years 1-4 takes a lot more diligence to 100%

I already 100% completed and platinum trophied Lego Harry Potter Years 5-7 on the PS Vita.  Had to do it again though on the PS4/PS5.

Done done on to the next one! 

It's been a few months , but we 100% completed and platinum trophied Lego Harry Potter Remastered: Years 1-4 for the PS4 / PS5

This one took a bit of work... but we finally did it.


Woot woot   

Yeah - I didn't have that problem @targetrasp.  It might be a stock issue now.  I bet it resolves fast. 

As of now, Dec 27-28

Sorry to whoever tried to use google. There's an issue with the Google setup.

Discord, battlenet, and steam should all work fine. I need to correct Google and Facebook

We just finished Star Wars: the clone wars series.   We are now onto rebels. We ended up binging almost the entire series over a few days while working on other things.  It's pretty great!

Well... this came and went from theaters like lightning.  Disney gave up on it a few weeks back.  It was the worst grossing Marvel movie of all time, it appears.

We have yet to see it.  I'm not sure why it truly received bad ratings. I've heard it's decent and am still pumped to see it once it hits Disney+

Lol - destroyed in 1 meal!   But I bet it was a tasty meal!

Social logins are back with oneall.  We have 5 options.  For those who originally setup, I think you should be able to continue where we left off after the last forum upgrade. However, you may have to re-setup your login.

Please let me know if there are questions.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours from CDG!  Have a wonderful day and holiday weekend

@targetrasp - you're killing me here. Did you play it?

@retro junkie - will this game ever be on your list?

I bought Castle of Shikigami 3 for the Nintendo Wii many years back. I thought it was interesting they're releasing Castle of Shikigami 2 for the Nintendo Switch. 

This was a fun Shmup ... though not my favorite shoot 'em up.  Right now it is full price and is slated to be released April  of 2024.

Have you played any of the Castle of Shikigami games? Which of these games have you played?

Thoughts, comments... post it up!

I'm hoping for sales on this soon. I'm not holding my breath... if there's a sale, I'm jumping into the pool.

Yeah - it's not 1st on my list. I was hoping to find it 50% off... but not she that's going to be a reality right now.

I'm hoping Black Friday!! Hey. Ho. Let's go

The Marvels is now in theaters.  I'm curious if the movie contains resolutions to some of the scenarios in Secret Invasion.  Unfortunately, I will not have time to view this movie until Thanksgiving weekend.  I'm pumped to see this movie. There seems to be some negativity surrounding it from other reviews. I stopped reading reviewing.


Who else is excited?   Who else has viewed the movie?  Comments, Thoughts... post it up!

Lol of course @Grindspine

I wish they didn't cap this at 6 episodes again.  Honestly, they resolved everything well in those 6 episodes. They were also able to display their special effects several times lol.  "We just paid for this... keep replaying the effects!"

I'm interested in how the resolution will tie into future events.

Awesome post.  It's really cool to see how much Valve updated this game. I've had this in my library for an extremely long time. Hopefully others are able to partake in this legendary title.

lol no shame here, @retro junkie.

You should watch it.

I was sad to see Loki episode 6 was the season finale.  However, this show went out with a bang.


Did anyone check it out?  Just finished watching it. 

We all remember the original topic:  WEREWOLF by Night created by @retro junkie

Now we have Werewolf by Night in color... which is pretty much the same thing in color.  However, I didn't look at them side-by-side (or within a close-enough) time frame to see if there are ANY differences.   I didn't look it up either.  This was a fun dive back into a fun movie from 2022... and I enjoyed the view.

Has anyone else watched this?  Are you planning to? 

thoughts, Comments... post it up!

I personally hope they work up to an anakin series... OR they include him a lot more in the series.  It's something that needs to happen now that his character looks a lot better after the Clone Wars series.  It would be a mistake to not do this.

Getting ready for Episode 5... Episode 4 was pretty awesome.  What did you think about episode 4?


I hope we get more Captain America: Winter Soldier!

It's not surprising in some aspects.  I am surprised it took until 2024 for this to happened. I was talking digital distribution taking over way back when I was running my store, on our podcasts, etc. 

However, a lot of people are suckers for the steel book releases including me.  There is money to be made there. I still buy blu-ray movies.  I guess I don't care that others want just digital. I have digital copies but I've been in many scenarios where we internet was toast and we have relied on physical copies.  It essentially leaves you with 2 choices:
1.) buy digital - live with limited licenses and potentially required data connections
2.) pirate - which I don't do but I see why it's increasing now... and the greed of companies is the motivation.

It's ridiculously expensive now to roll with a few streaming services. It's really becoming like or worse to how cable tv was.

However, people don't care ... it's not the popular way to do things anymore.  People are downsizing and owning smaller places. It's very expensive to have space to store... and it can be tough taking care of all those physical possessions. Materialism has been strong in the world for a long time.

Here's another problem. Companies can decide to disappear whatever they want whenever they want as shown by Disney. Will the shows resurface?  Who knows. If a companies dies, those (games, shows) could be gone.

In addition to the above - Time - people are not replaying as much anymore. They are using and moving on. It's a trend that is filtering into all facets of people's lives. Jobs (though I don't blame people on this one), relationships, friends, etc. It's one of the biggest trends I've notice over the last several years.
 
There is value in physical movies and games. But... that's only with demand. If demand ever drops out, That value goes away.  This is the danger of inventory. Prices don't stay up forever.  Sometimes they fluctuate and then increase.  Other times, they fluctuate and drop... or drop out all-together.  I'd rather had a blu-ray worth $3 I can reclaim if necessary.

Well Hopefully you all had a chance to check this out.  We were going to rewatch a few episodes... however, it's been removed from Disney+.

I missed this announcement.  Several other shows have also been removed.  Not sure I like that, but it doesn't matter.  This was also a good show.

They also removed " The World According to Jeff Goldblum..." which I thought was a decent show. 

What's up, D+??  Thoughts, comments... post it up!

It really did seem more like a season finale.   Episode 2 was pretty great as well. I'm a bit confused by a couple event, but went back to season 1 to see if I could figure some of those pieces out.

I probably should've prepped by re-watching season 1 beforehand. 

Top Gun: Maverick came to prime.  After it made it to prime, I think I've watched it another 2-3 times. It really is a good movie worth a view... especially if you remember the 1st. 


Has anyone else checked it out?

@MegaDrive20XX it's a couple days late, however...  Happy birthday!  We hope you enjoy your digital cake!
