Dracula X Rondo of Blood?

Don't know yet since the full lineup hasn't been revealed yet. However, I have heard that different regions are getting different lineups so hopefully it comes to the NA version.

Bloodlines was a Genesis exclusive.

No... I understand that @retro junkie ... I meant,  does that mean it wasn't released on any other platform...  ie steam or remastered?  I thought it was released on something else...  but guess I'm wrong on that. 


Sadly, no. It was only released on the Genesis, and to my knowledge, this will be the first time since, that it will be available again.

It became available in the Castlevania Collection a couple of weeks ago:

Konami Reveals Castlevania Anniversary Collection


Also, the full lineup of games has been released. I put in my pre-order already. I also really hope that the SegaCD/32X accessory add-on gets released over here in the states and doesn't stay a Japan exclusive. It looks freaking cool!

1. Captain Marvel's timing. Seems like it's always perfect. I like her as a character but still.
2. Wtf was with Gwyneth Paltrow Iron Woman? Seemed almost completely random (almost because she has briefly worn a suit but it was for protection).


Spoiler: ShowHide
Didn't seem random at all. Iron Man III set this up way back in 2013 and then Tony brought it up again when his daughter was wearing her helmet. She's shown that she's willing to do anything for Tony, even suiting up and saving him. It would have been random if she didn't put on the suit to fight.

It looks pretty bad but now that they've confirmed they'll be redesigning Sonic, I'm interested in seeing what they come up with.

Gaming headsets tend to suck because it's about the appearance and not necessarily the sound. Reason they're popular is because many aren't that educated about sound or aren't interested in learning what is good sound. So to most people almost anything will sound better than earbuds that are packed in with phones or media players.

To your question, if you're going with non-gaming headsets then Sennheiser headphones are pretty much the bar. There are better sets out there but they're going to cost you more.

It was a great movie... awesome... but there are some holes in some of their theories and what they do.  I won't go into it though... yet lol.

@CreepinDeth it's definitely satisfying... though some of the outcomes are tough to accept.  I tell you... I still blame Starlord... then Thor. LOL. 

The holes don't bother me. There is no way you're not going to have holes. Sci-Fi has tried for many years and even the movie itself explains how those aren't that accurate either.

And I have heard that it felt rushed to the theater.

It's hard to answer the other questions without giving you more context but I'll answer this one and this comment, that I've also seen myself on other forums, makes no sense.

This movie has been in in the works in conjunction with Infinity War. It's been in production for many years and clocks in at 3 hours. This movie is dripping with nuance and details. If you're a casual MCU fan, then some of the stuff might go over your head but what Endgame does is reward those who have been paying attention and care about these characters. If you don't, then it might look like another super hero movie to you, just bigger and grander. Which is fine as well.

My theory is that some people were expecting a non-stop battle scene for 3 hours and in reality, that wouldn't work. You would get over it very quickly. Not sure what others could've been expecting but so far I haven't seen a reasonable thought on it.

Saw it yesterday and if I had to describe it in one word it would be "Satisfying." From beginning to end everything came together beautifully and there was no wasted time. Every scene was impactful in one way or another.

I'm going to the first showing on Saturday. Currently, finishing up all of the Marvel movies. I'm on Spider-Man: Homecoming.

As a Top 6 poster, I refuse to be treated this way.

You got to break the top 5 if you want better treatment.  :P

For example, for a monthly price... you could play all Nintendo games ever made.

They can do that now but Nintendo won't, so I don't see this happening.

I haven't kept up with Stadia, to be honest. The reason I don't really pay attention to it is because our internet infrastructure is a joke (in the US at least.) I'm already sold for the most part on streaming gaming services, but unless our internet gets better and more reliable they're not going to succeed.

Also, it's Google, and they are known to abandon projects all the time. They have trouble focusing on their products and sometimes even undermine them with other products. Google will have to prove to me that they're in this for the long haul before I start relying on their streaming service for all of my gaming.

I try to use both. I, too, get lazy and want to just use the GUI but I force myself to use the Terminal since I never really learned it as well as I should have at this point. I got to keep fresh in case the GUI ever crashes on me.

I honestly can't wait. I'm so hyped! I've managed to successfully stay away from trailers. And now with the Fox merger being complete I'm more hyped for the what comes after.

Here is their second single from the same DoT album. I forgot to mention that I'll be seeing them this Sunday. It's the 20th anniversary of Scenes From A Memory and will be playing that whole album. I'm super stoked!

I thought it was decent. Not in my top 5 of Marvel movies but did some good things well and Brie Larson makes a great Captain Marvel. It felt a bit uneven though and her awesomeness seemed to have been subdued due to

being in Avengers: Endgame. Where she'll really get to stretch her powers.

Peruvian Skies is pretty good. Metropolis Pt. 1 and Panic Attack are tied for my favorite. Metropolis for being a prog masterpiece and Panic Attack for being such a great metal song. I recommend those two for sure for anyone trying to get into Dream Theater.
#412
Dream Theater came out with an album recently, Distance Over Time. It's a really solid album in my opinion. It's more metal and not as prog-gy. It's also one of their shorter albums so it's an easier listen. Here is their first single -

@BLUEVOODU - I haven't tried it out yet. The Switch basically belongs to my wife now. I'll probably grab one when the new versions come out.

If I'm not mistaken, this is all because a lot of companies (*cough*Apple*cough*) still charge you for repairs even under warranty for certain things. So because of this, customers want to be able to take it somewhere else to fix their electronics for cheaper.

Seems like a comparable market would be auto manufacturers. You can either go to a dealer or go to your own shop and have them use official parts.

I feel it's reasonable in this case. If companies are still going to charge you to fix items even under warranty, I would prefer to get the best price I can.

Sorry BV, but I do not have a Wii U.

I don't think I have the attention span to play others as well. The concept would have interested me as a teenager but these days, not really.

Thinking about picking this up but not sure if I have the attention span to make levels, lol. We'll see.  :)

I can see a case made for the TGFX-16. However, I don't see how any others would be viable. The games that are considered great or must-haves are low compared to the popular consoles. Does the Jaguar even have 5 games worthy of a classic console?
