All Activity

Weird, it was just a few days ago I was talking about N. Night Shyamalan about M. Night Shamalan. More specifically, how he is one of if the worst director ever. Still, I'm not going to miss a chance to dump on that cinematic cancer, so let's watch the trailer and bring out the Shyamalan checklist: Actors staring blankly into the camera? Check Hokey acting? Check The adult acting like a child? Check The child acting like an adult? Check An open ended, innocuous plot set up that tricks idiots into thinking it's inevitable, hard-to-guess twist is smart when it's actually just plain cheap? Check (Well, almost certainly. The father will NOT be "The Butcher", I'm calling it now.) Pointless tracking shots? Check The crazy, superstitious weirdo that for some reason is the one that's actually right? Probably, yes Plastering Shyamalan's name all over like that's a selling point and he was not the man behind Devil, After Earth, The Happening and that god awful The Last Airbender live action movie? Check Yep, this is a Shyamalan movie. It will be shit.

Last week my friend and I went to Big Lots and I noticed they had a Sonic the Hedgehog themed keyboard, headset, and mouse. I bought the last one, and I've been using the mouse and keyboard for the past week! Unfortunately the headset only plays audio in the left speaker, which is a shame since the microphone actually doesn't sound bad at all! I have a nice microphone however, so I don't really need to use the headset. The keyboard works great, and the keys feel great. It's a mechanical keyboard that has RGB so I can type in the dark. The mouse feels great and also has RGB. I think this set is no longer being sold online, it originally went for $40 but I got it for $20. Anyways do you own any computer peripherals based on a gaming franchise?

I have a few imported games myself! I bought Rockman 8 for the Sega Saturn from a Japanese seller on Ebay. It's much cheaper to get Japanese Saturn imports since the US games are so expensive. I also have a subscription to Retro Game Treasure and I get a import in every single box. I've got a few different Super Famicom games now like Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2), Puyo-Puyo and a few Dragon Quest games too. I also have a few different GBA/GB games that are Japanese which is great since they're not region locked. (I have a action replay to play imports on my Saturn, and a cartridge converter to play Super Famicom games. I still need to mod my PS2 to play Japanese games, likewise with my Gamecube...)

Have you ever done any urban exploration before? For those not aware of what urban exploration is, it's the act of exploring abandoned locations. It could be buildings, bridges, trails, roads anything that's abandoned really! I've tried doing this back in 2016, but my wife and I couldn't find our way into the building that I wanted to explore. Plus we decided to try and check out the other building behind it but we heard music playing, and while she was taking pictures of the scenery we noticed a guy watching us from one of the broken out windows. I heard a train whistle and we weren't too far from the tracks so I wanted to wait around and watch the train go by but it must have been on another track since it never passed us. Then I heard the music again, and noticed the same guy come walking around the corner with another guy and a woman. They all three had back packs, and one of them had a boom box. I think they were just train hoppers or homeless people, since they didn't say a word when they walked past us. I've been wanting to try and find other places to try and explore, but we don't have many places around here. This was all in East St. Louis and that's a sketchy area, so I don't really want to go back there. :V

I want forums to be the primary place people hang out online again. Discord really isn't a great place to get information and gather, because you still have to rely on outside websites like Google Docs to keep things organized. Plus it's difficult to locate old posts, at least now you can actually search for keywords in direct messages. Also I want frosted tips to come back in style too, I was never allowed to have them growing up as a kid lol.

Mine is my complete in box copy of Knuckles Chaotix. My wife got me it for my birthday way back in 2010, long before the price of the game went up. She got it for $40 on Amazon of all places. According to price charting, the game goes for $254 complete. As a die hard Sonic fan, I will never sell this especially since Sega has yet to re-release the game on any other platform. (It was released on Gametap in 2007 but that's the only other time it's been re-released on any official platform.)

I'm picking that as well. Volcano surfing sounds like a disaster waiting to happen although an avalanche can also occur during ice climbing but you have a better chance of surviving that. Imagine volcano surfing and then the volcano suddenly decides to get active lol.

My happy place is a trail near my yard which leads up into some hills overlooking the ocean. It's nothing but vegetation and that stunning view. Very relaxing.

FFXVI - I haven't played this game in a year and a half. I thought it was subpar the first time I played it but it's actually decent.
