Yeah, I fixed it more than 4 months ago.

I doubt there will ever be a GTA6. GTA5 is still killing it, and R* is still raking it in from that and other games like RDR2. So until I read it on the official Rockstar website www.rockstar.com, I’m not going to consider any “news” about it being in production or a release date to be anything more than some fools hopeful wishing at best.

Correction to my post - I don’t know why, but my mind always goes to Picabo Street when I think of female snowboarders. Picabo is actually a skier, not a snowboarder. There was a girl that I wanted to be as far as snowboarding goes, but I can’t think of her name at the moment.

Imperial Or Metric?
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
26 miles is easy. A mile is 5,280 feet. A foot is 12 inches, a yard is 36 inches and a meter is 39 inches. 26 x 5,280 = 137,280 It’s the same formula to find inches. I guess when it’s what you’re raised on it makes more sense to you. But I still think the US should stop living in the past, ditch the caraway seeds, and start using the metric system. -
For the most part I’m not really into sports games. The only exception is snowboarding games. But that’s because I was a pro-am snowboarder when I was younger. If I had gotten 3 or 4 more years of experience, I would have had a shot at going pro. Unfortunately fate didn’t agree with that option. I dreamed of being the next Picabo Street, but just didn’t get the chance. 😢

Have you ever dreamt about a video game?
The Blackangel replied to Alexander.'s topic in Gaming Forum
Not for everyone. Like I said, I’ve daydreamed about owning a few rares, but as for dreaming, it only happens once a year for me. -
Trump banned TikTok and WeChat. Are video games next?
The Blackangel replied to Kane99's topic in Gaming News
We all know China is a communist nation. But what people refuse to acknowledge and/ir admit is that the US is a fascist nation. Go look into fascism. There’s no denying it. The one and only reason Adolf attacked TikTok was because he wasn’t profiting from it. There was absolutely no other motive or factors involved. -
I have the original NES. Top loading cartridge systems are better for the life of the cart, but also more expensive. The unnecessary setup of pushing the cart down in the NES was stressful on the whole thing. If you’re looking to actually get an NES, then spend the money and get a top loader if nostalgia isn’t a factor. For someone like me however, nostalgia is an ENORMOUS part of it. That’s why I don’t own a top loader.

Adolf just wants to fuck up as much shit as he can in his last 3 months. He is trying to make it as hard as he can for when Biden moves into the white house, and he gets the boot this November. It's not surprising. -
SNES was an NES on steroids, true enough. But personally I love the look of 8 bit graphics over anything else in gaming. I know, I’m weird.

You made good points @johnlink. But if you go back to the original Game Boy, and count through every Nintendo hand held up to the Switch, they have only consistently gotten more powerful and better. I could easily be completely wrong, but until I know differently, I still think Nintendo is going to focus more on the portable market. The PSP and PS Vita never did all that well, and Xbox never released any kind of handheld, so they would essentially have a monopoly on the market. For the time being anyway.

I bought a laptop. All I have at the moment is the receipt, as the store didn’t have any in stock. But it will be here Tuesday. So when it gets here I’ll post some pics of it and the specs.

How is it greed to own and play on different platforms? By your words that means we’re all required to play on only one platform and nothing else or we’re being greedy, threw away thousands (which is bullshit BTW) and would never have time to play them. Since you have the authority to dictate all of this, tell me what system I’m allowed to play so I can throw all of my others in the trash.

Money is no issue for this question. What is the absolute best gaming laptop available?

Skyrim for Switch is on sale at the moment for $29.99 USD in the Nintendo eShop. Normal price is $59.99 USD. Sale ends 8-10-2020

I have 4 options. Blaster Master (NES), Zelda (NES), Zelda OoT (N64), and FF8 (preferably Switch). I would throw a snowboarding game in there, but there are too many awesome ones to choose from and I just wouldn't be able to land on one. But if I had to pick only one game for the rest of my life, it would most likely be FF8. That's one game I almost never get tired of playing. I'd want it on Switch so I could play anywhere.

Android v iOS for gaming - which do you think is better?
The Blackangel replied to DudeThatsErin's topic in Mobile
I'm going to have to go with iPhone. It's a lot more user friendly than android. And from what I've experienced the game choices are better too. -
I've built several, but that was during Win98. The parts you would need to build one are no longer made, so it would be just as expensive, if not more so, to build a current gaming PC. I still have an old PC that I use to play games like AOE2 and Diablo 2 on, but you're never going to find the parts to build one.

The 360 was a train wreck from the beginning. The technical issues and RROD were turning a lot of die hard Xbox loyalists to other systems, and they lost a lot of support. I don't know if this is bullshit or true, but I read online that the Xbox One almost didn't happen due to what happened with the 360. I know PlayStation and Nintendo saw a surge during that time in sales because of the RROD. But that was the time of Wii and PS3, which both had their fair share of issues as well. Especially the first edition of PS3 that had PS2 capailities. It overheated so bad that the entire system crashed and you were usually forced to buy a new one. That's the reason for the rerelease that removed the PS2 capabilities. Wii, while it was nice to have backwards compatibility with the Game Cube, was horrible with the controller and nunchuk. A lot of people hated it, but a lot of people loved it. I personally despised it. So there were goods and bads of every system of that gen. Most would agree that there have been massive improvements all around, but there are others who would still argue it.

I doubt it. While it was extremely popular, and featured games that haven't been ported to the Switch, (such as Zelda OoT) unless there were massive upgrades it would be more of a step backwards than anything. They're still selling games for it, but I don't think they're making the system anymore and have no plans to do so. I played the DS/3DS a bit, but always preferred my GBASP over it. With the capabilities of the Switch, and it's popularity, I don't think we'll see another in the DS line being produced. But I'm not a prophet or even a Nintendo insider, so I can't say for certain one way or another.

Baseball bats, golf clubs, and a shotgun come to mind.

What do you think the next gen consoles will cost?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
If the user is a known pirate, then I can get removing them from the network. But if they just clean house and remove anyone thought to be committing piracy, then they're going to lose a lot of customers. Granted once a code is used, it's supposed to be completely void from being used again, and there are ways around it. But it's not hard to buy yourself a code, use it, put it back in the box, reseal it and give it to someone under the guise of a gift. Then when they try to use it, they're the one that's screwed. Cracking down on piracy is a good thing, but it's not all black and white. But then again it's not a perfect system, so there are bound to be innocent casualties. I may not even be making sense to anyone but myself. All I know is that I'm not a fan of a system that is 100% digital. So I would have to have the disc capable version if I was to buy one. -
Considering all the systems I have and play, I can honestly say I have more than 50 easily. When I buy bundles they always come with extra controllers. Most are in boxes in a closet, except the ones I keep out to use.
