I’ve said it for years. Folks are sleeping on the Rygar soundtrack. It’s old. It’s 8-bit. But it’s full of bangers. I think the second part is called Gran Mountain

Are we doing favorite game or favorite thing in the collection? 
A good example would be L:

Favorite game is Link to the Past
Favorite Collection piece is Little Samson

I was a huge RetrowareTV fan back in the day. I found a lot of my favorite YouTubers there.
I still watch The GameChasers.
Way back when I had the chance to meet several of those guys. Hung out and even got to be friendly with some of them. Had a bunch of them on our podcast, Our Parents Basement.

I stuck my toe in that old youtube world. Never had much success, but I had a blast doing it. Made some pretty good friends that I still talk to.

I miss that old YouTube. It was a cool, Wild west feel. Everyone was still learning about retro games. Now, there’s tons of experts. A lot of guys have legit production now. I liked the raw feel better (that’s what she said)

Sony's presentation today revealed the PlayStation 5 Pro at the low, affordable price of $699.99 USD. If you want the capability to play discs, you'll have to pay an extra $79.99 for a detachable disc drive.

I’ve been holding out buying a ps5 for the pro version.
I need someone to explain to me like a child, why I should get the pro and not the slim.

General / Re: Who got better games? Spiderman or Batman? In your opinion?

« on: May 21, 2024, 05:56:08 pm »

Batman has had some good showings.
Batman and Robin on the SNES and Genesis are great
Batman Returns on the SNES is fantastic
The Arkham games are top notch
The NES Batman has always been one of my favorites.

Now Spider-Man, he had some stinkers then he came on strong
The N64 Spider-Man is great. I’m assuming the ps1 and Dreamcast games are the same.
The spider-man movie games, especially Spider-Man 2 on the GameCube, do a great job of giving you that feeling of swinging through the city.
Then, the Sony made some Spider-Man games. Holy Cow!  These games are some of my favorites ever.


I’m going to give Spider-Man the win just out of personal preference. If you pick Batman, you’re not wrong.

Red Dead Redemption II
I’m playing it now for the second time. This game deserves to be HBO series. It’s amazing. The characters and story get you right in the feels

Years ago, I was making an attempt to get good at a no glitch run of Super Mario Bros.  I got pretty fast. Still off the world by 30 seconds, but I was fast. I could finish it in less than 6 minutes, closer to 5 1/2.
I was pretty good. Those guys going for the top spot play perfect.

Modern Video Games / Re: Where do you draw the line? New Game Prices

« on: March 01, 2024, 09:00:04 pm »

I don’t seriously believe that R* is going to try to charge $150 for GTA 6, unless it is a version that includes all the future DLC. Then, it might happen.  They may do a $150 collectors edition. I could see that happening.
Rockstar does like to have different levels of releases. Deluxe editions, Super Deluxe editions, Super Mega Deluxe editions and the like.

Here’s my best prediction:
$80 Base Game
$90 Deluxe Edition including Base Game + Season 1 Pass + some exclusive item you can only get by buying this edition
$100 Super Mega Deluxe Edition with the Deluxe Edition and some online game money

That’s my best guess. We’ll see how it goes.


As for new game prices?  They don’t bother me much. I don’t buy many brand new games.

My guy, Justin, had some stuff for sale.
I liked his stuff
He liked my money
We made a trade
His stuff = my money

I’m happy. He’s happy.

It was fast and friendly and fun!  I like buying stuff from Justin!

Modern Video Games / Where do you draw the line? New Game Prices

« on: February 27, 2024, 08:43:58 pm »

So, there’s a rumor out there that Grand Theft Auto 6 could cost up to $150. It has cost something to the tune of $2 BILLION (with a B) to make. It’ll be a banger of a game.

PS5 games have gone up to $70. That makes sense. Games have been $60 for 100 years.  It was time for a price increase. I just don’t know high folks will go for Day 1 releases.

What do you think?  How high can prices get before you bail?
