The Blackangel

We all like a challenge. But sometimes that challenge is way beyond our skills. But we still love taking on that challenge. For me, it's Cuphead. I have been playing it for probably close to 2 years now, but have still never made it past the first level. But, despite that, I still love the damn game, even if it is a bastard. I think it's both fun and funny that I can't get past the first frickin' level. So what games do you find hard as hell, but no matter how bad you are at it, you still love the game?

There are actually two different versions of what is labeled "Mario 2". The one we got here in the states was the one where Mario is actually asleep dreaming, but you don't find out until after you beat the final boss Wart. A frog that doesn't like vegetables. But there was also another one that, here, we know it as SMB The Lost Levels. It's the same graphical style as the original SMB game, but is a hell of a lot harder. Here we got the Mario dreaming one. But around the world, different countries saw different games. So which did you get where you live?

Boy Meets Boy Xena/Hercules Those are the modern(ish) shows that come to mind for me. There are several 80's shows that I would list, but could never be matched. Also in today's political climate, it would be hard to even do the shows justice as they would be overly limited. Especially shows like Alf.

We saw it in the theater. It was awesome. In many ways, I would say it's better than the first one. I bought it for @Rain Dew when it hit the shelves, as she absolutely LOVES the movie.

Like @CoryAR my favorite tends to fluctuate. Currently though, the one that I'm enjoying the most is Baphomet by Satanic Planet. Here's the lyrics for those who can't understand what they're singing. As it is above / so it is below As moon is to sun / the two become one On the surface / and on purpose A war on reason / waged in treason Half demented / false recollected A fictitious past / is resurrected Satan we’ve grown Cruel / benevolent The infidel hierophant The truth / the liar The frozen and the fire The loved / the hated The words all left unstated Atop / and under The silence and the thunder The ugly / the beautiful The two sides of the spectacle The wolves / are as the sheep The dreamer is not asleep Stationary radical / human animal An open minded zealot Grotesque angelic The gain that comes from a loss Order and chaos A lawless moral order Healing a murder A feast best left uneaten Flawless yet beaten Alone becoming one of us Witless genius

Tennis is number one to me. A spectator is going to need a neck brace halfway in because the only thing they do is look from left to right for however long it takes. And don't even get me started on that bullshit scoring system. Golf would be a second one. Whack the ball, get in the cart. Whack the ball, get in the cart. Whack the ball, get in the cart. Whack the ball, get in the cart. What the ball into the water, get pissed, throw your clubs in with it. A few dishonorable mentions are badminton, cricket, ping pong, handball and (🤢🤮) quiddtich. This Wikipedia page lists more than I'm going to try.

@Lamarr the strelok @Reality vs Adventure Welcome to the fourth reich.

Ave and welcome. It's interesting to have a dinosaur fan here. I'm just curious what your opinion of the whole Jurassic Park/World franchise is. This includes both the movies and the games.

I have listened to a bit of it, and I like it. Which is weird because I absolutely DESPISE the bubblegum pop bullshit that we have to suffer through here. I'm a metalhead for the most part. Underground metal mostly as well as underground rap. Pop makes me want to slap the shit out of whoever wrote the damn song. Yet I like KPOP.

I don't remember exactly when, but @Rain Dew got me an Xbox One a few years ago because there was one game I wanted which was an Xbox exclusive at the time. It has since been released on Steam, so now I honestly don't touch my Xbox unless my hand bumps it. I'm thinking I may start gaming on it again. I just have to figure out what I want to play.

I use a TV as a monitor. In my opinion it's leaps and bounds better than a monitor. The image is crystal clear, and it has the functions of a TV, whereas a monitor doesn't. At least as far as I know it doesn't. So I highly recommend using a TV instead of a monitor.

I have the Super Game Boy too. For those who don't know what that is, it's a SNES cart that you can put a Game Boy game into and play it on your SNES. It was only built for the original cart design, as it came out decades before the GBA was released.

I have owned every Game Boy version, as well as random attachments like the Light Boy. I still play it to this day. But I played on a GBASP, since it can just be recharged instead of having to buy batteries all the damn time. I loved it as a kid, and love it now.

When it comes to announcing any kind of release date, it would be a fool’s errand to actually put any real stock in whatever date they give. These days, everything in gaming gets bumped back at least twice. Many things get bumped back more than twice. For what it’s worth, a lot of gamers consider the Oled to be the “Switch 2” if you will. For my opinion, I honestly don’t know where they could really go from here. They have VR, and have released a hybrid system which is one of the most popular Nintendo devices ever. So if you ask me, they have kinda shot them selves in the foot.

I started to post this on the thread asking if games are too “woke” then realized that it added nothing to further the conversation so I’m starting this here. I am so sick of all this “woke” bullshit. The word “woke” is nothing but the current popular buzz word, that not a single goddamn republiKKKLanazi can even fucking define. What fount of stupidity is next? Will we be curtain? Tin can? Feline menstruation? Where will it end? Well I got news for you: It WON’T end. If we don’t do something RIGHT GODDAMN NOW then we’re doing nothing more than bowing down, while simultaneously welcoming the ass raping that we get. And we’ll deserve it for giving in. Attempting to vote them out would be the best way if they weren’t already picking up weapons and literally calling for secession and another civil war. ”Woke” isn’t even a meaningful word. All it means is that you’re not sleeping. That’s what “woke” is. Or, was. American English has no connection of any kind to English English. The English we spoke 250+ years ago is no longer present in American. The right wing has been redefining every damn word they can to the point if someone from the UK was to come here for a vacation, there would be a language barrier that would be worse than Akkadian trying to understand Mandarin Chinese. A dead tongue that literally no one, including historians and linguists, can speak. And all because they have to do what they can/want to rewrite both facts and history to fit their completely fucked up agenda. Because there are only two things that ever have, or ever will matter to them: Power and money.

I've never trusted 3rd party controllers, simply because they have never lasted. Within a month to two months it was trashcan filler. But after reading this, I would be willing to try it if I was to decide to get a third party. One nitpicky thing, is that to me it looks more like the PS5 controller than the PS4 controller. But that may just be me. It is really interesting to hear someone speaking positively about third party anything. That said, I can't say much else because, while I have seen a few things about it, I haven't used it. So I'm not allowed an opinion on performance. I've never owned a monkey, so I can't comment on their behaviour. Same thing. Either way, great review.

This got fucking creepy for me PERSONALLY. While I was watching this, at the second video my power surged twice and then WENT OUT! I was genuinely freaked out. And it was only on the second game in the video.😱

I’ve played Outlast and Outlast 2. I have them both on my Switch. I like them portable because I can go to a room, block off all light and sound, then get going. I especially enjoy doing that with Layers Of Fear.

The only drawback I can think of at the moment is that it will probably be 10 years or more before its released. One one hand, I would want it sooner than that because I'm eager to play it. But on the other hand, I'm happy to wait because it gives them more time to perfect their game and weed out as many bugs as they possibly can. Quality is more important than time in this instance. That's why I like Rockstar. They tend to take the time needed for their games to make sure they work, instead of being under a time crunch and releasing a broken pile of shit.

I've never heard of Micro Center. Are they strictly online, or do they have actual stores you can go to, like Best Buy? I can't find anything about that on their website. Thank you for the link. I'm allover it right now. I already learned something at their website. I didn't know 16g cards were still being made!😋

I see a lot of disagreements with this. Mostly with some of the older games. For example take FF8. The character Seifer. I always pronounced it See-fur. Whereas most seem to pronounce it Sy-fer. Ninja Gaiden is another one. I always pronounced Gaiden as Guy-den. I hear a lot of people pronounce it Gay-den. Another FF8 is Ultimecia. I always pronounced it Ulti-may-shuh. But everyone else seems to pronounce it Ulti-meh-see-uh. Quistis is another. I pronounce it Kwis-tis. But apparently the correct pronunciation is Ku-is-tis. People even seem to get Conker wrong. I've heard people pronounce it Co-ker and Cock-er. Apparently they miss the N in his name. Not unusual for a person to accidentally miss a letter in a word. I think I always get it correct however by pronouncing it Con-ker. I know there's a lot more than just the few I've listed. But have any of you come across names or words in gaming that are debatable on the pronunciation?

Are you strictly wanting sci-fi, or are you open to other genre's? I'm looking at my library and will list the ones that stick out to me most before posting my entire PS3/PS4 list. I'll post some trailers after that. That said, the main two from PS3 that stick out for me are Thief and Dante's Inferno. God Of War is a great series, but we all know what those games are like, so I don't think a trailer is necessary in any way. Which Infamous games have you played? From PS4, despite them being horror games, I would highly recommend you check out the Dark Pictures Anthology. Little Hope and Man Of Medan are my two favorites in the franchise. Actually, I recommend everyone check them out. But then if you want only sci-fi, you could start out looking at Star Wars just as a jumping off point, and consider games that leads you to.

Ave and welcome. It's always nice to see "new faces" so to speak. This forum is very inclusive, and considering the population, there is never a question that can't be answered by at least one person. Gaming styles and preferences are all covered. For example, I am the resident classic gamer. I play the old stuff mainly from the N64 and back. But I also know RDR2 inside and out. So someone, somewhere, will know the answer to what you're seeking. Ave

@Rain Dew and I never leave the house anymore. Unless we have to. We both carry, and when we have to go to the grocery store, we shop separately. We pretend not to know each other. When it comes to that, we're all in extreme danger just for going to the store. She and I have become reclusive so as not to draw any attention. I keep a shotgun by the door, and have several weapons in a gun safe. We're six shades of fucked for the crime of existing. At some point, some republiKKKLanazi is going to propose a bill that will charge all people of the LGBTQ+ community a tax on the air we breathe. And It won't stop there, as those who are allies that stand with us will have to pay the tax as well. Cis and heterosexual people will be exempt from the tax. I just wonder how many cans of air we will be allowed at a time.
