  1. One of the repercussions of the republican coup is the fall of Myanmar to military rule just recently. The military spewed the same lies of election fraud and wanted a redo from this past Nov. So the military just took over. Trumpocracy became koolaid for coups around the world. It is the playbook now. So we can expect more of this. They feel emboldened now that the USA is a 'shithole' country. Claims of election fraud is the gold standard now.
  2. I watched Inheritance last night. It was pretty creepy. I just had the tv on doing other stuff and was just half watching from the beginning. Then it just took me in and I couldn't take my eyes off. Very good acting too. I mean, they brought some drama into a horror movie. Left me mouth agape a few times. lol. Just thought I'd share.
  3. Yes!!! I've got that game on ps2 and really liked it.
  4. I don't know, but with 2021 we are now in a new era. Especially with a pandemic driving more people to gaming, I think the 2020's are going to be quite an era and games probably will get politicized. There will be a gaming revolution as people of all groups and ages get more into it this decade, and also as technology is ever progressing. I think politics may shadow creativity a bit giving rise to Indie type games. But I think as turmoil takes the world this decade to come, individual creativity usually shines in these moments. Games will feel more intense, as they will indirectly reflect humanity's crisis.
  5. WTF; so that bigoted b.s. has already been done? This is exactly what happens when terrorists have free speech. And people don't think a government infiltrated by those bigots won't make a whole genre of games like that??? I'm literally pissed some fuck heads actually allowed such a thing to be published.
  6. I just bought Syndicate yesterday. I got the limited ed. but forgot all the DLC are already expired. I really want to play the Jack the Ripper DLC. Did you try that DLC? Supposed to be pretty good. I plan on buying the whole AC series. Maybe even the first one. But it seems like that one is a lost orphaned child of the series. I've been playing AC2 and to me is a good starting point. Very good game so far.
  7. That's funny; Notre Dame Cathedral has similar architecture throughout the world to honor it. I've been there before and beneath it are Roman ruins. Much of the stone work to make the cathedral is taken from those ruins. You can actually go underneath to see it all. And Paris itself is built over a massive network of catacombs. I wonder if AC Unity has many quests down in the Paris underworld. I thought at first the video would be cheesy, but they actually did a great job on it.
  8. Is this normal to have all those old school games available for the ps4 to buy online at the playstation store? I only started getting some games there a couple months ago, but since then I've never seen all these ps2 games. Even rare ones like Warriors, Bully, Red Faction, Destroy All Humans, Siren, and many others to play on the ps4. There are a couple I wouldn't mind playing on my newer system since I'm always too lazy to get out my ps2. Some are enhanced 1080; not sure if all are.
  9. Games need some XXX action. They should have Geralt do some hardcore action with two dragon sisters in human form. It doesn't have to be clunky at all, unless they are doing it bareback on top of a dragon while it is flying over Kaer Morhen. Yennefer needs to go pro.
  10. Got my system back today and seems to be fine. Everything is back to factory settings. Glad I saved all my stuff, cause I have to reinstall everything. And since my wifi is slow, it's gonna take 2-3 days for each game and update. RDR2 itself will take about a week. I'm thinking of just putting my downloadable games I bought, which is only a few, and large gb games on this system. It just isn't a trustworthy system anymore. Thanks playstation for fixing it, and sorry my trust is sketchy after only a year and a half playing it. But they honored its warranty and so far it works. And I will always update here if any other problem happens.
  11. The bull in AC Odyssey. You just inspired me to play Undead Nightmare some more to get that mount Death.
  12. Try not to support companies like amazon for making games. That direction absolutely paves the way of subscriptions for gaming. Should boycott it.
  13. If we define domestic terrorism and protect the rights to vote in unbreakable iron clad, then a republican will never again win an election, because we the people who believe in democracy are the majority. If we continue to allow gerrymandering, reduce voting locations and all the other insane things republicans have done and as we witnessed their attack on voting rights in 2020, including trying to destroy our entire postal service to prevent mail in ballots; if we allow them to continue this, we can kiss democracy goodbye. And the electoral college system needs a hard look at doing away with. Because that doesn't represent a majority count in a democratic process. I don't care if whites in the USA are the majority or not, but I believe they are. Either way that does not give them the right to play victim while the systemic racism protects the whites. During all the protests about blacks being killed by police, those M*F* white nationalists of the republican party had some nerve to say more white people are killed by cops. They play on that fear of becoming a minority, which has given rise to these new white supremacist terrorist groups. They attack, try to overthrow democracy, plot, and are treasonous. Then they still expect the left to befriend them and wink, and shrug it off with a 'nice try'. Those groups need to be held responsible. We need to define terrorism. But even then-this is who the republicans are now. The only way this country survives is if voting is protected. Cause no matter if republicans try to block everything, as long as we the majority win elections, this country will continue on. And the fascists know it. That is why instead of having policy to win over people, they have 'no policy' and spread lies, fear, and voter suppression as their way to to make their votes stronger. We can win by 10 million votes again and again.
  14. I have MGS 5 and feel I've missed out on the older games that led to the latest story. So I would like to see a remake of an earlier game. Would be good to see how they formed and where Snake and others came from.
  15. Sad you think that way. Regardless, democracy is moving on with or without the conspiracy mongers.
  16. Oh sh##T! Thanks for the heads up. I'll see how it goes then and hold onto it as it was a gift. I'm wondering if they create a whole new disc for the ps4 or ps5. Isn't that what they did with No Man's Sky Origins?
  17. Mine's for the ps4, so maybe I can start on it. I play slow, so I'll probably still be learning the ropes by the time another update comes around.
  18. There is a new patch 1.1 updated 3 days ago. Has that helped your gaming at all??? I'm keeping track of updates because I have the game, but not bothering to play it till I get an all good from some gamers.
  19. I can see how people liked the older AC games better than the newer ones. While playing AC2, I found it to have a lot more sneaking around and being weaponless, at first, and being 'wanted'. You have to hide in crowds, travel on rooftops more, and the cityscape with all the alleyways, you have to watch every corner and be really sneaky. I think the best environment for Assassins Creed is Italy. It's the architecture, colors, vibe, culture, and everything else that really brings out your inner assassin. A great game. Don't know why nobody ever recommends it. I sure do! And I'm only in Florence; still got Rome to venture into and Venice. I'm lovin this stuff. And so far I like the story.
  20. Addiction is actually a disease and not a lack of self discipline. Many addicts aren't given proper help due to society's failure to see it as a disease and treat it. In the sense of gaming, porn, or anything people do that doesn't require putting substances in their bodies still needs to be diagnosed as a disease. A gaming addict may be sleep deprived, eat little, nutrition deficient, poor social life; can interfere with their work and they lose their jobs or career. It's the same for any addiction. Of course, every case is different. Last thing an addict wants to hear is lacking self discipline as if you really have a choice. In a state of full blown addiction, you no longer have a choice. They usually need medical or psychiatric help. But it's not like a gamer will have life threatening withdrawals, so they won't need medical help. A good psyche evaluation may help find the deeper problem that led to gaming addiction in the first place. It could very well be this pandemic as an example, and anxieties that has worked its way into a person's life. Maybe they lost someone and just wants to do nothing but play games so they won't face it. It just could be anything. Addictions are not normal unless it is a chemical itself inducing it from drugs or alcohol. Otherwise, it's a definite psychological problem that may be at the root of it. But know, it isn't necessarily the psychological problem that is the disease, it is the psychological problem that led to the addiction, where the addiction itself is a disease. Many of us may feel addicted to gaming at times. But if your gaming interferes with your wellness (just like anything else, not excluded to gaming) it becomes a diseased state. Sure, we had the choice in the first place to put something in our bodies or stay up late gaming, but not being able to break the habit is no longer a self discipline issue. If you are into prolonged gaming and consume your required nutrition and get required exercise, and keep your work ethics, social life, etc. then you don't really have an addiction problem. Addiction literally = disease.
  21. Nice review! Although you should of had a bottle of booze, and should I say it? Yes, a parrot. LOL. I love the machete he uses! Brings a more raw hatred rather than an elegant sword. Much of the environment looks the same, but seems worth playing. Cool he gets a ship, cause in Black Flag I remember a scene where Kenway and Adewale both captured the ship and it was up for debate who is captain and they agreed the pirates wouldn't follow a black captain. But now he is one. I still have a little ways to go in Black Flag, then I'll get this DLC. It's $10 right now. Hopefully when I'm ready it will be $0. Or I will take it! Arrr
  22. This is an introduction to Ezio's family, especially his father who was an assassin (fictional, of course). Pretty cool to see a short film reflecting the actual video game environment in Italy.
