lol... I can confirm this is true, by the way.  It does not come with a charger.  It has the usb to c cable... but no wall charger.  You have to pay additional if you want that.

I get less packaging, people are charging their devices differently these days.... AND the rise of inductive charging has occurred.  But if you're not in a car with inductive charging OR have the home setup, this can be quite a bit inconvenient.

@retro junkie interesting... I've never seen that system before.

So all of the games were compatible?

I can say... I don't ever remember this coming up.  I am pretty sure I never saw one come across the store many years.  I had everything, including the Nintendo 64DD (Disk Drive).

Sounds like we need a bit more information, @targetrasp    Maybe additional topics!

Another one down... and another one bites the dust!   100% complete - Lego Movie Videogame for the PlayStation 4.  The platinum trophy has been received.

We are close on at least 1 other Lego game right now... and have many more Lego games to go!

lol... well... you know... It has taken a couple look-ups.   I did 100% Lego Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter Years 5-7 without looking stuff up.  But we looked up a few things towards the end on the others that were platinum trophied.

Lol... this is rather fun and a nice story tk hear considering all the other news out there.  A guy named Josh wrote a bunch of others with his same name for a dual.  The dualled with paper, rocks, and scissors for the right to be the real Josh.   It ended up in a large foam noodle fight with a ton of people and was won by a 6 year old. Lol 

Hundreds show up in Nebraska for fight over name Josh - apnews.com

It's an older story... but it's funny and good times. 

Thoughts, comments,  post it up!

Another one down... another one bites the Dust!  We just 100% completed Lego Batman 3 for the PlayStation 4.   This is Platinum Trophy #4.

We have several Lego games close to 100% completing as well.  Lego The Movie, Marvel Super Heroes, and DC Villians are close!

This looks like a really solid product now.  Your screenshot looks great too @retro junkie   So the update fixed all your previous issues?  This plays all Game Boy Advance, Color, and original Game Boy games?  Any other tricks up the sleeve?   I might be down as I have a lot of old GBA stuff that I would love to replay.  I have my old GBA SP that... was a really cool handheld console.  The age really shows in the screen (in my opinion).  I still dig it though.

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.

R-Type Final 2 Inaugural Flight Edition - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com

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?

Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up!

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.
