The greatest Beer Run Ever - A vibrant true tale about a man and his Journey to deliver his friends a cold one in the middle of the vietnam war. It combines political turmoil, the battle between angsty hippies and war sympathizers in this tug of war that permeates through the movie. What entails is some of the most engaging Vietnam war movie I have seen. It's funny. Starts with comedy but blends in the tragedies of war like slowly sprinkling in parmesean into the gumbo of life.


Zac Efferon surprised me with versatile acting as this is my first foray with him. He sells the underachieving but over aspiring legacy of Donohue. The beer run is filled with action, conspiracy and spies. I enjoyed the film. The connection built with Oklahoma a key Vietnamese man in the movie is gripping. The way you can feel the tension between the love for the soldiers but sympathy for the violence of war is palpable. And the corresponding photographers add a depth to the movie.


It's neat, funny and entertaining. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Tetris


The shit these mofos did over a video game lol. I don't know how many liberties were taken. But this is an absolute high pace action packed whirlwind like a poliwag stomach lol. It tells the story of the greatest marvel in video game history. Dimitri being robbed of rights to earning for one of the best selling video game empires of all time is kinda fascinating to say the least. But the battle for publishing rights? Anyone engrossed or interested in video game history will love this. But it goes beyond gaming to a land of friendly bonds, business betrayals and the story of a man risking his family and wifes happinessover the sake of a dream and a chance.

The layouts are great. The settings are well done. It presents well. And amazingly so.

85/100


Finch


Finch is the tale of a lone wandering Tom Hanks in a post apocalyptic world. It is fascinating the true grit. Think Fallout New Vegas meets borderlands but the greatest enemy is an encompassing sun that seeks to devour and melt anything that moves with radiation. And in this world. We get Jeff and Dewey. A clumsy sometimes half assing Robot that loves finch with all of himself. To some a robot accompanying a man. But to the viewer. A man in a robot accompanying a pile of bolts through a tech heavy adolesence. Like a robo coming to age film. It builds character development well. And carries an overall feeling of strength and love. A solid movie.

The world of speedruns. A world of competivism personified. Radical. If you could be the speedrun record holder for any game. What would it be? On top of the world. The king. Studying every strat. Knowing a game inside and out better than it's own devs. What game would you most want to be known as the master of?


I personally think I pick super mario 64. Not only is it such a hugely recognizable game but it has extremely complex strats and I grew up with it since I was a kid. I'd like to be known as the king of Mario 64. But one has to devote years into even being top 25. These guys are talented.


What game would you most want to speed strat and be #1 at?

Modern Video Games / Re: Where do you draw the line? New Game Prices
« on: March 01, 2024, 01:46:26 pm »
I'd pay upwards of 80 for a game. If GTA releases this for 250 it's gonna shake the industry in a bad way. Rockstar has gotten greedy. No other way to crack that jar open. If they priced it at 60 and sold 400 million copies. Which they will. It'd make 24 billion. That is 12x profit. But nooooo.


The narrative rockstar is running with is that we pay 20 dollars or 40 for dvds and movie media. Those give us 2 hours of entertainment but video games give us 200 or more hours. So by all means charge 3 grand for a new game. It's annoying. Like comparing a prostitute to a wife. Its not even the same media format. And I could argue that movies have 356 million budgets and cost 9.99 on vudu within like 6 months of release.


I just feel gaming is going to really collapse. The only way i'd justify 150 is if they included all the dlc they'll inevitably ram down your throat and free online.

Modern Video Games / What are your thoughts on Simulator Games?
« on: February 18, 2024, 12:50:19 pm »
Hello everyone  :D

Farming simulator, Lawn Mowing Simulator, Bus Driver Simulator, VG Collect Moderator Simulator, Ripping the pages out of a 1976 sears roebuck catelog to show your dearest mother the fridge you want for your first apartment on your dads Amex he got from working steel trades for 17 years while saying "aint it a doozie folks?...... simulator, Grassy Gnowl simulator.

Point is it seems they have a simulator for everything. As I am typing this they probably have a simulator where you can play as me and partake in my thought proccess of making the post to begin with.


My main question. Is do you ever enjoy any of the simulation games?


JOB GAMES


Games that have you play the role of a minimum wage jon. Although Job Simulator is the popular one it is perhaps the least zaney. I'm talking bus simulator. I played for about 4 hours before realizing i'm paying to do something that a middle aged anglosaxon protestant grandfather dreads doing every day for work. Mowing lawns? The grind of these games is astronomical. When I say it takes 45 minutes to mow an old ladies lawn. I mean it.  So why not? Idk... go out and mow an old ladies lawn? I feel like yeah theirs some start up costs. But just for sanity sake.


I know some say these games are theraputic to them. I guess in the way crosswords or asmr can be. It's not so much to play a game but to zone out and live a double life.


But in general. What is your opinion on the simulator game genre?

Barbie Movie - Clever, colorful and fun. Keeps a general emotional stance and anyone who shames it for geo politcal narratives isn't familiar with the dolls legacy to begin with. Margot and Ryan can do no wrong and combine to form a juggernaut. 97/100

Oppenhiemer - I have never experienced a moment in theatrew like when the atom bomb goes off. It rattled cieling toles with dolby altmos and made me cry from sheer baffling carnage of its simulated power. A historical story told from 2 angles. - 95/100


Turtles Mutant Mayhem - Solid Movie. Colorful. Creative visually. Epic voice work by Ice Cube. The turtles may be a tad juvenile for my taste but they are teenagers afterall. And I know they need kids to attend. Great directing by Seth. - 82/100

M3GAN -  M3GAN blends comedy with brutality in the way oreo blends chocolate with stuffing. Easy to dislike victims fall in the wake of a digital age take on terminator meets chucky. 4 Foot Titanium toughness. A movie that since it's PG13 and has no nudity is accessible and enjoyable for families. Not relying on tropes or shock and awe but pure carnage mixed with an emotionally charged plot. The dependence parents put on artificial intelligence to entertain their children and a hyperbolic reality of the chaos that can cost. Lead actress conveys emotion well. A superb child actress that can mix contempt, grief and rebellion in one.

M3GAN is a surprise gem that is better than most movies that have tried the same. It's believable, gruesome, memorable and often thought provoking. A must see.

And we do have gun control. It's not like anyone can walk into a store and just go home with a gun. It takes criminal and mental background checks, a gun safety course, and having a locked gun safe...what more do you want?!

Good thing there's no way to buy a gun without going to a store... oh wait!

In Tennessee, private sellers don't have to do a background check. If you buy a gun from someone without a federal license (gun show, yard sale, or even online), you don't have to go through a background check.

And there is no permit required for open carry.

Good. How it should be. It's my property to do with what I want. Free country.

So your previous screed about the "controls" is pointless.   Anyone can have a gun, and all that stuff you just laid out is performative.

"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be INFRINGED"

2nd highest law in the land. It's pretty important. Don't like it? Then leave. Cause you aren't taking that away. And I guarantee there are a whole lot of people in this country that agree despite all you people trying your damndest to change what this country is founded on.


Chef's kiss!! I won't derail too much. But people wanna misconstrued what the founding fathers said. They literally overthrew monarchs off these principles. Well regulated meant structure. As in not allowing a monarch to rise again. 
 People say "when the 2nd was written they had muskets and flint lock" well yeah when the 1st amendment was written we didn't have twitter and cyber stalking either. When they gave women the right to vote. They were hardly no women in public office. The doctrine was written to stand the test of time not despite it. With the future in mind.


It's funny when you got politicians protected by guns constantly say "dont protect yourself with guns" and the LEAST mass shooting occuring places are airports, courthouses and police stations. All places with armed security with guns. Yet guns don't work to prevent violent authrotiarianism from killing people? Ok. 


NOT TO BE INFRINGED. 


You're on the right side of the isle burningdoom.

General / Re: DK Oldies? A scandal, or just another smear campaign?
« on: April 09, 2023, 02:34:17 pm »
Upon going on their website I see Smash Melee for 70 and GTA vice city for 10. DK country around 20. I've always known those prices to be retail industry standard. Most items ship next day with a 1 year warranty. The 1 year warranty alone makes them leagues ahead of every 30 day return policy of my local mom and pop stores.  If they make right the mistakes they make and literally have 1 year warrantys on hardware how on earth is it a scandal? Nobody puts you hostage like Sudam Hussein and demands you to order from dk oldies.


Seems like they gouge prices but who doesn't now a days. I know genuine honest collectors going 15 percent on top of vgpc and it really is sad. I don't think its fair to single out a store. At least stores have overhead :(

I am only attempting to call attention on the matter of mental health conditions such as paranoid delusions, and bring light to the fact that’s is a very real, legitimate disorder people suffer. I don’t think the OP is a troll, I think he suffers with mental health conditions. A lot of times people see others acting out of sorts, and think it’s a bid for attention. I don’t think so in this case. Whatever his affliction, it’s very much a real problem for him. Unfortunately none of us are qualified to offer help.

Hello Everyone!

I was pondering what game requires the most intelligence to play or master? Which community have you encountered that just seems smarter. The game is just high in it's learning curve to a point where a less intelligent human would fail? At it's endeavors?


For this I exclude any games that originate outside of video gaming. Such as chess, chinese checkers and poker. I also ban trivia games because they solely exist to test intelligence. Only video games that are known as video games primarily :)


For me here are some

TETRIS


Easy to play. Difficult to master. Much like chess. Each move to a tetris expert is planned 10 or so turns ahead. It's like life in them rectangular prisms of passion. In a sense you don't break the blocks down. They break you down. Fortify your will. Intense hand eye cordination. Lots of on the fly problem solving. It requires some brain.

League Of Legends Or Most MMORPGS


I feel I have never met a dumb person who binges games like WOW, League, Dungeons and Dragons and folklore rpg games. They require knowing and memorizing an inventory to plan for future events much like geniuses do in real life. Elite players often are masterful in battle strategies. Gameplanning. Knowing different combinations to equal most efficient avenues to victory. A little math. Lots of problem solving. Plus a insatiable hunger for perfection. Index fingers like 87 Hulk Hogan. Space Bar that smells of Jobba The Hutt's Pitts. But a brain that operates on par with their system. Elite level.


Final Fantasy


Idk what it is. Ive just never met an unintelligent FF fan. Falls into the rpg area I guess. But it's just you gotta have the ability to plan. Potions, elixirs, strengths and weakness, follow plot, follow direction.


What fanbase of gamer packs the most IQ in your opinion?


You can also share your opinions on less smart playerbases. Or your iq below.




Don't read below unless project maine coon cat operative.


Jade, Limestone, and Uranium. Two magnetic slabs. 5 point axis of copper conduits. Acting as a center hub for a polarity inverter. You need a frame constructed of ancient amber stone. As it is the only rock in sync with the earth's core propulsion. This method can and will alter the time space continuum. But it's a matter of creating an expansion of energy strong enough to power it. The power to create the worm hole through all of time can be gained through harnassing the power of tectonic plate shifts or lightning.

Contact a Doctor Liepold Steiner. He'll take it from there. He and I have worked on the genome of virus that the bot fly uses to take control over dead brain cells. We have isolated it in it's purest form. Have had great success with Hares but less Success with monkeys. With your altering of time space, by now we should have perfected the virus strand due to scientific wonders beyond our knowlege and be capable of creating zombie hoardes to declare intergalactic war against the UN and take over Mars. We can conquer the world you and I. I will give you the Oceans my son. The Trees will seek their revenge.

Games I own? MarvelVsCapcom2 for either PS2 or Dreamcast is worth it to me. Maybe my last of us ellie edition.


Most games over 100 are niche which is why there are scarce. Most I don't desire. I'm in the over 55 and miss me with that jive crowd.

General / Re: Your Top 10 Consoles of All-Time
« on: February 27, 2023, 12:21:59 am »

You'll notice PS5 isn't on the list. It's still too new to have earned its spot. It's literally taken from launch in Nov 2020 to Oct 2022 before I played a PS5 gen only title that actually interested me. Sony has a lot to prove to get PS5 on my list because if it wasn't PS4 backwards compatible, it would have been collecting a lot of dust.


So far the PS5 has been the most disappointing Sony console for me by a fair amount. Two years into virtually every single other Sony console's life I was head over heals in love with many of the games that had already come out, and on the hype train for a bunch more that were around the corner. I had so much enthusiasm and love for the PS1-PS4 that it was hard to imagine any of them not being one of the best consoles I'd ever played. However with the exception of Gran Turismo 7 and to a lesser extent The King of Fighter XV, my PS5 has mostly felt like a colossal waste of money. The add in I've already had to get my PS5 repaired once (disc drive took a shit just one year after buying it) and one of the games that made me feel better about owning one, GT7, requires an internet connection to enjoy 95% of the single player game, and has some of the most ridiculously expensive in game items I've ever seen in a game. Of course you can get around that if you pay real money for a ton of in game credits....


While I'd be surprised if I still feel like I regret buying a PS5 several years from now, it's been something I wish I'd just held off on for the most part. And the worst part it, the PS5 will likely be the last Sony console I ever buy new since I'm 98% sure the PS6 with be a diskless, all digital, always online all the time glorified gaming PC with a few exclusives. If I'm right, I'm done with Sony and any other company that follows suit. The modern gaming industry has already taken away so much from its customers, and continues to Stockholm gamers into accepting bullshit like pay to win, microtransactions, day one DLC, broken games at launch, Drm, all sorts of other crap that a digital only console is the hill I finally say enough is enough and walk away from modern gaming.


This ^


By 3 years into PS4 we had best of the franchise entrees into Infamous, Uncharted 4, and Little Big Planet, a solid swing for the fences Kojima game, a solid repetoir of RPGs and not to mention tremendous visual fidelity upgrades over PS3. It felt like you did something, it felt proud. Almost patriotic to a hypothetical sony nation. Then within a few years later we got hit with Spiderman, MLB, Horizon, new franchises that just put a leg up.


For 2 out of the 3 years PS5 has been out (give or take) they have been unobtainanium alienating like 50 percent of it's consumer base. The remainder we have seen two games in GT7 and Miles Morales that are literally available on PS4 at equal quality to the average consumer and GTA V which is not only a decade old but on PS4. COD? On PS4. Ratchet and Clank holding off Switch Behemoths is why Xbox and Sony are being outsold by Switch combined. It's not just the stocking issue.


I agree with Biking. I feel as gamers we try to love the new thing. Buyers remorse makes us see gold in the hey. But PS5 and XSX are disappointing PC boxes and have almost little outside of Indie AA games and odd niche exclusives to even warrant 299 let alone 500.

FURY THE WW2 EPIC

One Of Brad Pitts Finest Works


The movie left me gripped, it combines the cruelty of war with the bliss of brotherhood. The ying yang. A butterfly in hell if you will. It is so raw. Men from many walks. Clashing at times yet being this pact within the ashes. Valor under the eyes of god. Heroism and is a brutal yet honest homage to the greatest generation. The brave men who sacraficed so we have a world to raise children in, and a battle unwinnable. Unity coming before surrender.


I am a bit of a WW2 Buff. I have seen over 200 tanks, fighters in person and also curate miniature tanks. The tank in the movie "Fury" has a palpable atmosphere inside. Confined. A home to these men.

It is one of Brad Pitts underrated Roles and Shia Lebouf is also stellar.

Omg woah. This movie looks so good. The borealis that glitter births from, it is the story of our beloved cult classic. The visual mind soup of geo genetically gymetrical puzzle shapes that interlock. The puzzle game of all puzzle games. Tetris! in your ear drum and they dont care about your consent to the matter. Break down the blocks. Uncompress the soul. The story is so dark and deep and fascinating that I am surprised it wasn't given a full fledge movie sooner. I am so pumped. I am so ready. Who else thinks this is gonna be a top 5 video game movie ever?


This also seems to not be a rushed comedian cash grab making fun of it but an actual full fledged drama filled action.
