Off Topic / Re: Do you name your possessions or give them he/she pronouns? Why is it common?

I've heard of people doing that at times with cars (Boats are much more common), and things like stuffed animals, but never with consoles or TV, electronics, etc. Not common.

You seem to have a lot of free time.

 Back when step brother, step sister mingling wasn't looked at as taboo like it is now lol. 

Where did you even get this from? It's been taboo as long as I've been around, and was def taboo when this movie came out in the 90's (Though I've never seen the movie so IDK it was even in it)

I think my favorite Brendan Frazier appearance was in "Singles" even though it was just a cameo. Journey to the center is an entertaining movie. I wouldn't say particularly good, but not bad either. I enjoyed it.

Classic Video Games / Re: PlayStation3 turns 15 years old.

PS3 is my 2nd favorite console of all time, behind the 360, and I go back 40 years. So many great games, so many great exclusives (PS3 was my 1st PS console, so I can't compare to PS1/2)

Modern Video Games / Re: Xbox 20th Anniversary

Xbox is actually the only brand I've written off.

My bud bought an Xbox when it first released. He had it preordered. He raced home, set it up, put the Halo disc in.... "Disc Read Error" on the first load. I laughed. He didn't. Next time it booted properly and it turns out, Halo was amazing. I have great memories of Halo LAN parties with my brother. In fact, I had such an incredible time at the LAN parties, that when Halo 2 released, I bought an Xbox and a collector's edition of Halo 2.

That's when things went south. I bought it to play with my brother online. He was almost never online. I beat the campaign which was good... and then went online. The online community was so incredibly toxic that after a single month... I sold the Xbox after having it for only a single month. Luckily, it was the holiday season and I made back my money via eBay. I never looked back.

I mean, power to you...but to write off an entire platform because of one games toxic community seems a bit overboard. On Playstation 3, the SoCom community was the worst I've ever seen. I just quit playing it online.

I have over 18K songs on my Ipod, so that keeps me plenty entertained.

Off Topic / Re: Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai is a messiah. Do you like Karate Kid?

That guy plays a douche in everything he's in; watch European Vacation or Back to School. That being said, I do enjoy him even though I've never seen any Karate Kid movies

His best douchery was in "Just one of the guys"

I LOVE this movie!!!


And yes, he is a giga douche in that movie. Very underrated 80s comedy.

Agreed, great 80's movie that gets virtually no love.

If you named your kid Dualshock 4 you should lose all parental rights.

« on: October 04, 2021, 05:16:30 pm »

Agree with most here, I enjoy remasters, but lazt  ports are broken remasters are another story. One of the GTA games (PS3 I believe) was a port of the mobile version as well, and it was terrible to try and play (But the 260 version was a por of the console version, which is weird)

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Elder Scrolls V, The: Skyrim [UK] variants

« on: September 16, 2021, 08:35:10 am »

If you can, def add the variants!

I have a slew of variants of games not listed here, but the process to add games is so stringent (I got a ton of rejections with no explanation as to why), I haven't tried in years.

I would def love to see more variants here!

Surviving Mars is free on Steam.

Far Cry 3 is free on Ubisoft.

It should be noted Surviving Mars is only until tomorrow, and Far Cry is until the 11th. I've missed a few on here because I figured i would check a day or so later only to find out it's expired.

Off Topic / Re: Jurassic Park, Back to The Future or Indiana Jones?

« on: August 31, 2021, 09:01:46 pm »

This is tough. I love them all, and all have a nostalgia factor for different periods in my life. However, If I told these 3 series were going to disappear from existence tomorrow, and I could only watch one before the end....I'd watch Indiana Jones

BTF 2nd, though barely. Jurassic 3rd.
