I remember a PC game called Black & White 2. You played a god basically and it was a real time strategy game, you had a massive animal for a pet (sort of like a Godzilla or Kingkong type deal but more endearing) that was your strongest unit and really made the game unique. For the time it blew my mind.

On original Xbox there was a game called Kung Fu Chaos, it was basically a stylised arena fighter in the vein of smash brothers. There was also a game later called Tom & Jerry War of the Whiskers which was a similar deal.

More recently in the 360 generation there was Sleeping Dogs which is kind of like GTA but in China and the combat is much more fluid, think of like Batman Arkham melee combat. It was an amazing game, one of the best that gen.

Physical enthusiasts should probably look away now because Sony has revealed 79 per cent of all PS5, PS4 games sold during its latest fiscal quarter were for the digital version. This represents a dramatic increase for the start of fiscal year 2022; a 13 per cent boost over fiscal year 2021 to be exact, when two-thirds of games were purchased digitally.

In Q1 of fiscal year 2021, digital purchases stood at 71 per cent. The two following quarters saw the percentage drop to 62 per cent, and then it returned to 71 per cent for Q4. The beginning of fiscal year 2022 sees the statistic at its highest ever of 79 per cent. Interestingly, the amount of monthly active users on PSN dropped by four million across the latest quarter, suggesting there are fewer people using the service but more of that user base are taking the digital route.

It's bad news for PS5, PS4 gamers who prefer to buy games physically as the industry and market shift further into the digital realm. Sony offers a PS5 system without a disc drive, but will that become the default option once it is ready to move onto the next generation? Come back in six or seven years and we should have an answer.

So I just completed Mass Effect 1 through 3 on the hardest difficulty and the games were amazing probably on the level of some of the best of all time.

I don’t think I’m gonna go back to it though now that I’ve experienced all of it. I used a different class and different weapon in each of the three games (Infiltrator with Sniper Rifle in ME1, Vanguard with Shotgun in ME2 and Sentinel with Assault Rifle in ME3) so I don’t think I could mix things up in that way and they’re really long so I don’t think I wanna replay.

Should I sell or is that sacrilege? I can free up 100GB of space on my PS5 hard drive and get 10 bucks back.

Off Topic / Why are contractors so unreliable?

A guy was supposed to fix my house yesterday, didn't show. He was supposed to come today instead, didn't show.

I find it really hard to trust a contractor.

I occasionally browse the official Warner Bros store.

US: https://www.wbshop.com/
UK: https://shop.warnerbros.co.uk/

They sell various merch, blu rays/UHD 4K blu rays, steelbooks, collector's items, merch, clothing, video games and what have you - with new items showing up and sales happening from time to time on things.

They have a lot of things related to DC super heroes and HBO shows but other franchises and movies too.

Do you know of any other cool places to dump spare cash?

Or constantly pushed for promotions and applied to higher paying opportunities?

Off Topic / Please help me to name my YouTube channel
« on: December 12, 2020, 02:27:31 pm »
I would like to start a YouTube channel to talk about movies.

Here are some names I initially brainstormed from the top of my head:

Movie Mondays
The Movie Channel
The Back Row
The Projection Room
Popcorn Palace
Silver Screen Flicks
Premiere Movie Channel
Cinema Love
Now Showing
Hollywood & More
Film Hall
The Director's Chair
Movie Buffs Channel
YouMovies
Screen 3
Movie Talk On Demand
iTalkMovies
The Cinematic Channel
The Final Credits
The Big Screen

Then I thought red hot chili peppers have these lines in their songs:
“little girls from Sweden / Dream of silver screen quotation” and “Space may be the final frontier / But it's made in a Hollywood basement”

Maybe I could use 'Dream of Silver Screen' or 'Hollywood Basement' as a channel name.

Please let me know which name you like best or if you have an idea for a name that I could use for my YouTube channel centered around movies.

Thanks

Off Topic / Would you chase a shoplifter?

I witnessed a shoplifting today. Guy picked stuff off a shelf thinking no one was looking and was about to walk out the door. I yell ‘HEY!’ at him, he takes off, he has a pedal bike laying on the floor right outside the store. He has barely enough time to get up on it, I’m standing directly behind him as he gets on, he starts peddling and I’m chasing - almost immediately he loses footing missing the pedal, his bike falls and him with it presumably sustaining pain, the two stolen items land on the floor behind him almost into my arms - I gather these and return to the store.

This felt like one of the most badass moments of my life, however in hindsight I’m considering a lot of scenarios where this could have ended badly for me.

Would you chase a shoplifter?
