Modern Video Games / Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

« on: August 18, 2017, 10:05:57 am »

Was really excited about this game, and i was shocked to see it is $40! I thought it would be more in the 10-15 range since it is less than 10 hours of content. 

I will still get it when it drops in price.  Anyone else gunna get this game?

Modern Video Games / Microsoft Surface

« on: August 04, 2017, 03:04:21 pm »

I am looking to get a new tablet.  I have an iPad but i am bored with it as it seems all apps require active internet connection to work.  Really sucks when on the plane and i dont have a book to read.

Anyways i am thinking about picking one up, it would be nice to play some AoE or what not.  Does anyone have one? If so, do you like it?

If you do have one, have you ever isntalled OSX or iOS in the VM?  Curious as there are two or three features i would like to use on the tablet.

(Sorry i didnt know if the thread would be better here or Off Topic)

These two Nintendo systems are the only iterations of the handhelds i dont currently have

Classic Video Games / Old School RTS

« on: August 03, 2017, 04:45:05 pm »

Growing up my friends and i would love to LAN some RTS games.  Most of the time it was between these games: Age of Empires, StarCraft, WarCraft, or Command and Conquer.  I know there were others but those where the four that really made our CD/DVD drives spin lol.

Which was your fav RTS series growing up?

Classic Video Games / Age of Empires

« on: August 03, 2017, 11:05:51 am »

Did anyone else love this series?  I remember in middle school there was a demo (cant rem if first or second) and it would only allow up to a certain time per game, or you coudl only reach a certain "age". 

We always LAN that game (and Star Craft).

I picked up all the games on Steam Sales last month and really enjoying Age of Mytholgies again.  I got to interview Bruce Shelly (the President) and attend the launch party way back when! Great stuff.  Was really sad when Ensemble Studios closed, the mock up art for AoE4 looked great!

Anyone else love this series

Hardware and Tech / PS4 Issues

« on: July 14, 2017, 09:42:59 am »

Anyone having issues with their PS4?  I noticed recently my controllers will not sync up, sometimes it will not boot or eject a game.  I have to literally plug and unplugg it to get it to turn on.

Really do not want to have to buy another one, curious if anyone else had this issue.  I got the PS4 about 4 months after it was released (same time Infamous came out)

Modern Video Games / Breath of the Wild: Master Trials DLC

« on: July 05, 2017, 10:43:05 am »

Any of you playing this?  The Trial of the Sword is the absolute hardest Zelda thing ever.  Breath of the wild was the first real time in a VERY long time i died in a Zelda game.  Thought i was just horrid player till i was talking with my friends and they were saying how hard it was.  Game was wonderful loved the challenge and breakup of the Zelda mold.

This "Cave of Trials" far super-cedes Twilight Princess and others i have played.

Any of you had any luck with it?  Finally beat the first 12 levels last night.  Tried the next set and I was promptly defeated.  One thing i noticed that it is very important to use the dodge-strike in the game.  I rarely used while playing the main quest but use it all the time here.

Off Topic / Raspberry Pi

Do any of you have one of these? Was thinking about getting one to goof off with.

I heard a few very interesting things to do with them.  I ever heard you can get it to run plex, but it does have a few issues with that.  Any of you get one and have plex working on it or do anything cool with one?

General / Amiibo's Exclusivity

« on: June 27, 2017, 12:31:02 pm »

I am so sick of the amiibo exclusivity everywhere.  I had no idea that the three latest Link Amiibos were exclusive.
Majora's Mask - Best Buy
Skyward Sword - Amazon
Twilight Princess - GameStop

Which means i will never get these like the other exclusive ones during the Smash run: IE: Meta Knight and so many others.  I hate it because they also seem to have a very limited run.

We were in Germany & Italy and saw that they still had every amiibo out on stock on display in GameStops and other electronic stores (hey gotta find free bathrooms somewhere right)

Just insane and really annoying, now i will be missing three Zelda series amiibos

Marketplace / Original Xbox S Controller

« on: June 21, 2017, 04:30:28 pm »

Anyone seen any good deals on the Original Xbox S Controller?  I have two Dukes and a Mad Catz and i would like a S controller to round it all out.  So far i found a few really crummy looking ones on eBay and a few knock offs.  Would like an OEM if possible.

General / Display Shelf Ideas?

« on: June 20, 2017, 01:55:52 pm »

I just finished making my gaming entertainment console with my father-in-law last week.  I finish putting in all the consoles, just a few more tweaks left till i can take some pictures.

Next on the docket is a way to display all the handheld devices i have.  Do you have any recommendations, as i would like to find something more "off the shelf" then have to build it like i did with the gaming console.

It will hold these 11 portable gaming consoles.  So far haven't really seen anything online that looks good most are to bulky.  My wife had an idea for more of a "shadow box" like concept but haven't seen anything that could fit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
