Modern Video Games / Palworld.

« on: January 30, 2024, 09:28:28 am »

I really wanted to hate this game.. I held off for as long as I could, but a bunch of friends got me to try it... and I will have to say, in my opinion, its easily the best pokemon game yet. Anyone else give it a shot?

General / You guys ever get stuck in like a gaming rut?

« on: March 19, 2022, 08:47:04 pm »

I've gone what fees like 2 months without getting into a game.. Nothing I tried just seemed to click. It felt like I was forcing myself to play games that I'm "supposed" to like but I just end up being miserable the whole time. Today I said fuck it and threw in a game I know I love (Uncharted) and I'm having a blast! I'm done wasting time trying to make a game click for me, if I'm not enjoying I'm not wasting my time.

Modern Video Games / Forza Horizon 5

« on: November 11, 2021, 10:03:45 am »

Anyone playing!? I haven't played a Racing SIM or really any racing game since Gran Turismo 3 on the PS2 and I have to say this is reaallly scratching and itch I didn't know I had. I know Horizon has been around a little while, and this entry isn't exactly doing anything vastly different then the rest, but its new to me and feels really fresh. I'm digging how all the tracks are connected on the open world and you have to drive to get to your next race. I'm not that far in, but I can see myself putting a lot of time into this one.

Modern Video Games / Returnal Thread

« on: May 01, 2021, 12:26:26 pm »

Havent seen anyone really talking about this one yet (although I might have just missed it) so I figured I'd start a thread. It kinda flew under my radar till I saw an article make a comparison to Metroid which immediately piqued my interest. I haven't really look too much into it, I know there are some rogue like death mechanics in there and its a 3rd person shooter... but other than that I'm going into this one kinda blind. It's installing right now and I'm really looking forward to giving it a shot! Anyone else going to be playing this?

Classic Video Games / Letting go of the CRT

« on: December 03, 2020, 11:33:21 am »

I think its time for me to get rid of my CRT... I really don't want to, but it just takes up so much damn space... I've been looking into things like the retrotink and it seems like there are plenty of solutions out there to play your old consoles on a modern screen but I just dont know how i feel about it... Do any of you have any experience letting go of your CRTs and making the transition to a modern screen? Please share your success stories and setups, I need some inspiration!!

Modern Video Games / Um... Tony Hawk Remaster!!???

« on: May 14, 2020, 01:38:38 pm »

So I can't believe people aren't talking about this here yet! I cannot explain how psyched I am for this! I know there are a lot of people really wanting a new Skate game... but I will always love those first 3 Tony Hawk games.

User Feedback / droaa

« on: February 21, 2020, 04:24:57 pm »

I couldn't find a feedback thread for droaa so here we go. Droaa reached out to me in response to a post I made looking for an original Xbox S-type controller. He happen to have one and gave me a totally fair price on it. The controller was packed well and shipped in a timely manner. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase from droaa again! thanks man!

General / Going Platinum

« on: February 05, 2020, 10:12:34 am »

When it comes to playing games, I've never really been a completionist; closest I ever got was in 2000, me and a buddy spent the entire summer trying to get to 105% in Crash Bandicoot but only made it to 100%... After that I never really cared about completing a game, I just play through the story and do what ever side quests/missions I want till I get bored. So this year, one of my gaming goals will be to obtain my first PSN Platinum trophy.

So I'm coming to you to ask for suggestions. I want it to be a game that's not insanely difficult (Please no Dark Souls) but also I'd like to feel a sense of accomplishment after finishing it, also nothing that will take me like 200 hours to get lol. So with that what are some good games to be my first Platinum?

Hardware and Tech / Genesis Model 1 AC Adapter

« on: February 02, 2020, 04:31:37 pm »

Can anyone recommend a good replacement AC adapter for a Genesis Model 1. Everything I see on Amazon has terrible reviews, it looks like they all are a little under powered and cause a bit of interference with the video signal?

Modern Video Games / PS4 Remote Play

« on: January 21, 2020, 04:28:51 pm »

I recently started using the PS4 Remote Play feature on my laptop and holy shit has it changed gaming for me! My wife is often hogging the tv (I'm cool with it) so I usually resort to some sort of handheld system/my switch, but after figuring out that I can play my PS4 through my laptop its all I want to use now lol and it makes me even more excited for the PS5 to come out.

Anyone else using remote play?

General / On Why Organizing Alphabetical by System Sucks...

« on: November 19, 2019, 12:55:18 pm »

So to bounce off the previous thread by oldgamerz I wanted to discuss why I hate organizing alphabetically. Now to preface this, I want to clarify that I DO organize all my games alphabetically by system because clearly it's the best method (j/k) BUT there is one thing that bugs the living shit out of me and that's when games in a series change their naming scheme... Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider, Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I've got Tomb Raiders all over the place, and its not the only series that does it either; Star Tropics/Zoda's Revenge anyone??

But the one that pisses me off the most, and the one I REFUSE to separate is The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure's of Link. These proudly sit together in their golden glory, right in the middle of my NES shelf, totally out of alphabetic order and will always stay that way.
