Man.. this really does look interesting.   Still no ship and it really looks like they're stringing people along. Maybe they're not lol.      Any update on whether they're shipping (etc)?

That's interesting!   I'm not sure YET if I'm sold... but it's definitely interesting and makes it much more appealing.

I do not see the pre-orders up yet... but if I do, I'll create a link / topic here.

@targetrasp which 2 carts are you missing?

Did anyone see this was launched?  Raiden IV x MIKADO remix was launched for the Nintendo Switch recently... I pre-ordered Raiden and R-Type Final 2 around the same time.

I'm Always pumped for a New SHMUP... especially one on the Switch.  Handheld Shmupping is fun.  Who else is excited for this title or has already played?

So this was originally a Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 game?  I wonder why it wasn't also offered on the PlayStation 4. IT's cool they at least offered it on Gold for Xbox owners.  Cool Stuff!

Man... you say Metal Slug 3... that makes me want to play it more.  Need... an... Xbox.    No no... sticking to 2 consoles this time around!

LOL @Grindspine that would be hilarious.  It would also be a Microsoft thing to do, no doubt.   

Man ... what an ending to this series.   

Spoiler: ShowHide

I REALLY hope they bring more Captain America and the Winter Soldier episodes 

We need a 2nd season... or a new series with the new name 

lol... we are getting closer... just about 1 month away!

yeah... I was surprised at how quickly the ended the seasons.  The ending was a bit rushed as well, so I figured they were running into issues like that. I wonder why it had low ratings.  It was pretty good while it lasted.  We have now finished the series.  I might need to go back and re-watch a couple of the episodes.  It was cool to see Jarvis have a role as well.

I haven't seen Agents of Shield yet, but looking to see how/where I can check that series out.

@CreepinDeth That's awesome!  I'm thinking about doing that with a cheaper Linux build at some point.    I've been heavy into Linux in the server realm over the last 2 years.  I've used Linux for a long time... but I'm talking in the DevOps Engineer space.  It's been a lot of fun with sprinkles of frustrating challenges.

I am very curious how this progressions goes for you.  Keep us up to date on what you find that you like and do not like.  The same for the apps realm if you don't mind AND relating to experience versus Windows.  It looks like MATE Gui is available for Arch.  That's a decent desktop Gui.   Ever think about trying CentOS or Rocky Linux builds?

I'm thinking of a couple new Linux topics to post up to try to keep the Linux topics going.

Mass Effect games have been a bit hit and miss with me.  I've really liked some of the games, and have not liked some of the other.

The Xbox One and PC versions are also at the link.

Have you been keeping an eye on the ass Effect Legendary Edition for the PlayStation 4?   If so... what are you looking forward to in this game?  I haven't been keeping up with games over the last few months due to work and family stuff going on at this time.   I'm curious what others think.

Thoughts, Comments... post it up!

I have not... and have given up. I won't pay scalpers to get a PlayStation5.

However, checking in with everyone else, How is your PlayStation 5 Journey?  Were you able to score one?  I think I can only name 1-2 people I know in person, AND only 3-5 in total combining online and in person friends.

Is anyone else pumped for this?  I know... pumped for a Lego game.  We play most of the Lego games though... we are about to 100% another 2 games... with a 3rd and 4th in flight right now.

@CreepinDeth -- I'm a little late on this.  I Didn't see they reversed it. Where did you see this?  MAN... I'm happy they did reverse it. That's pretty crazy.

Holy crap... that is a huge oversight.  That's not cool either.    There's another topic here about Achievements you can no longer get due to servers being down... which is a bit unfair.  I hate to say this, but they should give the trophies to owners of that game where they can no longer be accomplished due to multiplayer features going down.   I hate giving free trophies... but ... it's not right to NOT be able to come up with the achievements later on if you want to do so.  There's probably some game end-of-life clause to get around the legalities... but it's almost false advertising as well.

R-Type Final 2 Inaugural Flight Edition on the Switch . . . WUTT?!   I didn't see much on this release... I happened to see it back in February and pre-ordered it for the Switch.

You can also access the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions from that link.

I'm a huge fan of shmups.  I just received my pre-order the other day... and I'm getting ready to crack into this.  IS anyone else excited for this release?

No one else has been rocking this out??

100% agree. They should've come out with an Xbox 720 instead of One 

PS5 does just fall in line. Simple. Makes sense.  Though not super creative.  That's for sure.

Unfortunately,  I do not have gold anymore.   Have you been playing this a lot?   Is it any good?

I have not played Player Unknowns Battle Grounds in forever.  We used to play PUBG all the time.  I also downloaded it for the PlayStation 4 for free as it was one of the game of the months for PSN.

It's been so long... I really wonder what's changed.  I quit a long time ago due to performance issues while playing the game... and what appeared to be a hacking issue.

Is anyone else playing?    Post it up!

It seems this game has fallen off a bit... I know we don't really play anymore.

Do you still play?  If so... what's been up in the game and what do you enjoy (and/or not enjoy)?

Post it up!

[Check out the trailer]

This is looking like Chaos ... Loki the Television Series.  We just saw the trailer last week and it's looking to be like Loki - odd.   I'm definitely excited for yet another Marvel series to Binge watch.  I really hope they are going to play Loki and Falcon and the Winter Solider out longer than 1 season... here's to hoping though!

Check out the trailer:


What are your thoughts?  Are you excited for this?  Post it up!

I know Agent Carter came out awhile ago... and I really didn't hear much about this series... so I was not sure what to expect.   We started binge watching this series.  It is interesting... and a bit slower... however, worth a watch.  We are about half way through right now... so I cannot speak to all the episodes yet.

Have you watched or binged Agent Carter?    What are your thoughts?  Post it up!

@CreepinDeth yeah... I really dug the ending.  There are so many possibilities now.   I'm sure they're going to pick this up and run with it now.. they have to be making good bank on the new series.

@retro junkie - speaking of binge watching... we re-watched the Wandavision series already... binge style.  I'm not sure we will do it again... but it was great the 2nd time around.

@CreepinDeth you are right... Episode 4 was awesome... what crazy ending.   Stupid Marvel Making Addictive series... I cannot wait to see Episode 5 now.

@retro junkie LOL... sorry man... I'm sure this post isn't helping either     It's pretty good.

@targetrasp @retro junkie  - I agree... I opted not to do this as well. I was tempted to try it... but once I saw they were going to charge as opposed to just a chance to test it out... I didn't feel like joining at this time.  It was a good decision as I don't have enough time to finish what I have at this point in my life.  That's frustrating... but life is life right now 

The price is quite high... I'm surprised more are paying that... but I'm not surprised for other reasons.   I REALLY wish people would stop paying scalpers... but I can also understand the reasoning to just buy.

I only know 4 people (in person and online) that have been able to acquire a PlayStation 5.  I have given up.   I think the cloud offerings are interesting... but IMO we have a long time until it is perfected.

Is anyone else playing this?!   Great topic @Bomber Man   This game is a lot of fun.   It is very intense as well lol... Tetris 99 is still my favorite, but I'm glad they added Pac-Man 99.

Yeah... it's interesting... the last PS4 game offerings also had a limited time to download (it appeared).   There was a message on the system to make sure to get them before the end of the month.

I am really looking forward to this game.  I won't pay full price... but this one is HEAVILY on our radar.

We are pretty close to platinum trophy-ing 2-3 other Lego games right now... so this one will be needed in the near future.

Lol.  Yeah. That is a game I need to put more time into as well. Tiny Metal was  great recommendation by @Frodus  not sure he if he just lurks now or what. But hopefully he sees it.

Alright... who is checking this one out?   So far, I think the Falcon and Winter Soldier is pretty great.   The Winter Soldier movies and episodes always tend to be a bit darker.  So far, the 1st 3 episodes are great.  I cannot wait until the next episode.  I really hope this is longer than 1 season.
