LOL booooo @Grindspine  that's funny though 

The nvme m.2 sata's are ridiculously fast.  There's no turning back from those anymore... just insanely fast.  Once you go that route, it's impossible to go back. 

@CreepinDeth still no notice for me... I think it's supposed to be sometime in July.  Now I'm starting to have pre-buyers-remorse   

@targetrasp   Now you make me want to pre-order it.  I Think I might do that.  Same as you, I realllllly liked the 1st 3 and never played Days of Ruin.

I used to play this on my old GBA SP.  It was the Perfect game for handheld.

lol how did the translator work for you on those other games, @retro junkie ?  You have patience for sure.   Samurai Shodown RPG... was one game I wanted to play, but just didn't have the patience.  I don't think they ever came out with a English translation...  they might have by now though.

This game is definitely worth a play, I think you would like it @retro junkie   Now that it's on the Switch... you can just do that    If you do... you need to post up your thoughts!

yeah... good post @targetrasp   I need to try this out.

We do have a cloud gaming board - I haven't had much time to break into this yet:
Cloud Gaming

They had a notice for early access last year.  I didn't participate, but threw a topic out here.  Looks like they have rolled out it.  Interesting more isn't mentioned about it.  Even when on Amazon.com, they don't really market it at all (yet).

Good post @CreepinDeth  I was meaning to get around to this... this is a great topic.

I think the show is pretty good so far.  There are some teenagery annoying things... but so far, so good.  You're also right, the main character cast is spot on. However, I have to agree with @retro junkie too on his spoiler comment.  I was scratching my head after seeing that particular piece play out.

Definitely looking forward to more.

That optimus prime lego set is ridiculous.  I MISS the old Tower or Orthanc (Saruman's tower).  That was REALLY cool as well... I missed it just before it went out of stock.  Great stuff though.

I agree with @CreepinDeth as well... good stuff.  I really dug the series.  I need more.  I need this do be as many seasons as the CLone Wars and to be awesome.  This is a need... yes... a need.

@retro junkie -  Seriously.... laughed the entire time.  That's hilarious.  You are 100% right @Grindspine , I really miss the "old" way things were done...  that's just pure awesome.

LOL... and another game not played 

It's so hard to NOT open a game once that value jumps.  I personally open many as I get them and don't have that problem later.   BUT... that's changed since about 2018/2019 where time became even more scarce

That TV has survived since 2006 through 4 apartments and a house.  Bluevoodu actually helped me move it twice!

lol... per @targetrasp  1 Hernia later!    I kid... that wasn't too bad to move.  It is a nice TV.

That's a cool setup.  Those S-Video SNES cables were rare for a long time.  Not sure if they're more available now or not.

Oh man... I'm trying to NOT SPEND MONEY lol...  this makes me want to spend money.  Good post!

I See what you're saying @CreepinDeth .  I thought Iron Man 2 was a bit bland... Thor 2 as well... even though I liked Thor 2 better on subsequent views.   I really liked Captain America 1, so I cannot say the same for that movie.  In fact, I had a hard time with Age of Ultron for the longest time. I just started liking that movie a lot more since I noticed a few pieces and how they tied it together with other movies in the future.

Eternals, I can see how you would rate that with Iron Man 2 and Thor 2.   Still... it's probably my least liked Marvel movie at this time.  I also agree, it should've been a D+ series... but they wouldn't have had a couple of the actresses (at least I don't think) if they did it that way.

@targetrasp Biomotor Unitron... is a game that took a lot of my time in the past and it was a lot of fun.  I'm surprised there haven't been more comments on it.   I'm  a bit surprised that @retro junkie didn't have a comment lol 

It was definitely a unique take on crafting a "fighting Robot" with different materials...etc.  It was somewhat like leveling up a Pokemon and fighting "trainers..." crossed with unique aspects in crafting and making more powerful arms and weapons.

I'm surprised more haven't commented on this one!

got the walmart exclusive version. Not a steelbook tho

@targetrasp   you knew I would ask this lol... what does that include that is different?

Thank you @CreepinDeth ... I'm not spoiling that one yet    We're about to pick the series back up.  Unfortunately, we are in about the same place we were.

LOL... that scene is hilarious.  Morbid at the same time... 

I swear it was humane meats ... not human   

I saw this and thought it was pretty cool.  I think @Grindspine @Mai Valentine and @Kinikko all were playing this game.  Maybe @targetrasp as well.  Lego sure brings out some cool items... and the Lego Horizon Forbidden West Tallneck looks pretty cool.

LEGO Horizon Forbidden West: Tallneck 76989 - amazon.com

Who said Lego's were just for kids?!

Thoughts on this set?  Any other Lego sets you have seen lately you really dig?  POst it up!

Has anyone played the original Advanced Wars games?  I used to play these a lot... they were a lot of fun.  Looks like they're re-issuing them for the Nintendo Switch.  They were originally released on the Game Boy Advanced.  There was another game, Advanced Wars Dual Strike, released on the Nintendo DS.


Pre-Order Amazon Link:
Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp - Nintendo Switch - amazon.com

I'm thinking of pre-ordering this game... though the backlog is massive.   Anyone else?

Thoughts, comments?  Post it up!

We just finished Stranger things (to date).  It's a bit dark...  but interesting.

Need to switch back to Agents of Shield and finish those... as well as Clone Wars series. 

Throwing this out there... it's been on my mind... Eternals is probably the most disappointing Marvel movie to date.


Thoughts?  post it up

@Grindspine @retro junkie @targetrasp  and heck... lets throw @trkorecky and @Polygon in here... Did you all have a chance to see this movie?  If so, what are your thoughts?

@CreepinDeth  --> I'm not sure why, but I enjoyed it a lot more than that.  I dug how they started with the end credit scene from Wandavision.   I really dug how the movie was created and the elements they used.  Music was spot on... it was one of the more enjoyable Marvel movies in awhile.

Also, if you have not, at very least, watched the last 4 episodes of The Clone Wars (Season 7, Episodes 9, 10, 11, and 12) after watching Revenge of the Sith, DO IT!  Those episodes shed so much more light on Order 66.

@Grindspine  --> Good advice, I think we will do that soon.  We were watching the seasons at one point.  We made it to 3 I believe, but other stuff took over.  Clone Wars need a topic.

@retro junkie --> pretty good, eh?    I really thought this series is well done... SO FAR.  As I mentioned, I don't like the over acting of 1 of the characters.  But we will see how that pans out.

I have not. I put this project on the back burner for now. Going to start a home server soon. So @BLUEVOODU might hit you up for some assistance when it comes time. 

@CreepinDeth  --> sure thing!   

I'm getting ready to play test Rocky Linux on the "Enterprise" front.  It's looking to be a pretty good CentOS replacement... so far.  I've been hearing good things from those using it.

@CreepinDeth  --> we need a review topic    I can't wait to hear about your Steam Deck

ugh... that's awful.  I'm wondering how close we are to the point you mentioned.

And you're right... scavenger hunt it is at times!  Sometime last year, I started ordering groceries online and let the employees pick them.  It's been hit any miss at times, but has been pretty good so far.   I figure it gives someone a job as well. They hired many employees for picking groceries and for delivering to cars.  I figure it helps them out... hopefully that's right.

Obi-Wan just started on Disney+ last Friday.  I was SUPER pumped for this this series.  (still am super pumped!)  The quality of the show really appears movie-like.  Many times you can tell it's a series.  You can see this in the outfits, acting quality...etc.   Obi-Wan is of pretty high quality all around... with the exception of 1 overacting person, but I'll address that in future posts.  I want to see where they are taking the mentioned character.

The 1st 2 episodes are out.  Have you seen them? What are you thoughts?  Post it up!

@BLUEVOODU "human meats"

@targetrasp  LOLZ!!  I meant Humane.  STUPID autocorrect... but that's hilarious.  Mmm... so delicious    Soilent Green? 

Know what? We're getting old.

$12,000 in 2002 dollars is about $19,000 in today's dollars.

@Grindspine   
#1 - you take that back.

#2 - Inflation is insane right now.  Wages really have not gone up much either to counteract that $1.00 in 2002 value being equal to $1.61 today.  Wages didn't jump that much.   IMO what's going on right now is not sustainable.

I haven't seen crackers for months.

@retro junkie -->  yeah.. I haven't seen TONS of stuff.  It's hit and miss when going to the store.  It technically takes 2-3 trips now to get everything from 1 order. Siete Chips, kielbasa, many times even some chicken and hamburger have been very hard to get.

@SpartanEvolved  That's awesome... I need to reinstall. I might be down for a few rounds.

Seeing the screenshots your sending is giving me the itch.  It's been a very long time since everyone played.

Has the game drastically changed?

@CreepinDeth  at least once.   Looking it up, it was mentioned in Loki as well... that he "stayed dead." 

Now with the multi-verse... anything is possible.
