  1. You may have had the bad luck to end up with a lemon.

    That said, I have had what I would call a "half-freeze" happen with mine. A couple times now, in RDR2, there have been a few times that I wouldn't be able to control Arthur in any way, and typically have to reset the game. Like when I was in a gun shop, Arthur opened the book, but the camera stayed behind him instead of going to the book. I wasn't able to do anything at al. The shop owner kept going with the conversations, but I couldn't do a damn thing. Sometimes plugging my controller back into the system. Sometimes not. I think they just have a hell of a lot of bugs, the same as any other system.

    Small Correction here.  I couldn't see it on the browser version of the EShop (probably because I don't have the game on Switch) but it turns out you can upgrade for $20.  However, the upgrade path is still cheaper on PC and the other consoles.

    Either way, it's still not worth that kind of money.

  3. A man stands in line at a liquor store. He says "I've had enough. Save My place. I'm going to shoot Trump."
    2 Hours later he returns to reclaim his place in line. His friend asks, "Did you get him?"
    To which he replied "No. The line there was even longer than the line here."

    ROBOT
    A father buys a lie detector robot that slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it out at dinner one night.
    The father asks his son what he did that afternoon. The son says, "I did some schoolwork."
    The robot slaps the son. The son says, “Okay. I was at a friend's house watching movies."
    Dad asks, "What movie did you watch?" Son says, "Toy Story." The robot slaps the son again. Son says, “Okay, we were watching Stormy Daniels movies."
    Dad says," What? At your age I didn't even know what dirty movies were." The robot slaps the father.
    Mom laughs and says, "Well, he certainly is your son." The robot slaps the mother.

    Robot for sale.

    A politician dies. Instead of going straight to heaven or hell, a spirit appears to him.
    The spirit tells him that, rather than being judged for his sins, he gets to choose whether he goes to heaven or hell.
    The politician replies that of course he wants to go to heaven. The spirit tells him that before he chooses, he has to visit both places so each one will get a fair chance.
    First they visit heaven. It looks pretty nice. Big fluffy clouds, angels singing and playing harps, everyone seeming to enjoy themselves. The politician is pleased, if a bit underwhelmed.
    Hell, on the other hand, is magnificent. It’s the most beautiful place the politician has ever seen, and everyone there is having the time of their lives. It has a buffet table filled with delicious-smelling food, a beautiful garden, a pool with a water slide, a dance floor, a massage parlor, and innumerable other attractions. It makes heaven look dull and boring and comparison.
    “I can’t believe I’m saying this,” says the politician, “but I think I’d rather go to hell!”
    “Very well,” says the spirit. “Turn around.”
    When the politician turns around, though, hell appears to be completely different than it had been less than a minute ago. All of the attractions are gone, everything is on fire, and the people are screaming in agony.
    “I don’t understand!” cries the politician. “This isn’t what you showed me before!”
    “Well, that was the campaign,” replies the spirit. “Now you’ve voted.”

    A DEA Agent stopped at a ranch in Texas and talked to an old rancher. He told the rancher, "I need to inspect your ranch for illegally grown drugs." The rancher said, "okay, but don't go into that field over there...", as he pointed out the location. The DEA Agent verbally exploded and said, "look mister, I have the authority of the federal government with me!" Reaching into his rear back pocket, the arrogant officer removed his badge and proudly displayed it to the rancher. "See this badge?! This badge means I can go wherever I want... On any land! No questions asked, no answers given! Do you understand old man?!"
    The rancher kindly nodded, apologized, and went about his chores. Moments later the rancher heard loud screams, he looked up and saw the DEA agent running for his life, being chased by the ranchers big Santa Gertrudis Bull...... With every step the bull was gaining ground on the officer, and it was likely that he'd sure enough get gored before he reached safety. The officer was clearly terrified. The old rancher threw down his tools, ran as fast as he could to the fence, and yelled at the top of his lungs......
    "YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR BADGE!"

  4. Another thing I don't get is about preowned games. For example, let's say that a new copy of a game is $70. But there is a preowned copy next to it for $50. What is wrong with buying the used copy? A lot of people will look at the used copy in disgust, and waste the extra money for a used copy. I don't even know the number of games I've bought that were preowned games. It has to be in the hundreds at least.

    So if I want a game, and can save money by buying a preowned copy, I go for it. There's no reason not to. I go the Dark Pictures Anthology: House Of Ashes recently that was a used copy, and it was about half the price of a new one. DPA is an awesome series. I already had Little Hope, and Man Of Medan. Great games.

  5. I'm not surprised they're worried. If it becomes an Xbox exclusive, Sony is going to lose millions of dollars in game revenue. When a game goes from universal to platform exclusive, it loses a hell of a lot of gamers. I know a couple people that refuse to play anything on PlayStation. I personally don't like Xbox, but I still play on it. So if they take CoD, and make it an exclusive, everyone is going to suffer. They may make some money, but if they release it for everyone, they will exponentially more money doing that. Making it an exclusive game, is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of when it comes to gaming.

    I turn 51 in February, so currently 50.

    I'll be 41 in January. So despite the 10 year difference, we were born the same time.

  7. You sound almost identical to me. Sure our life experiences have been different, but they have also been the same. If that makes sense. So let me give you some advice:

    You can't change the people around you, but you can change the people around you.

  8. Number 1 would be to increase the funds in my bank account to the billions.
    Number 2 would be to collect as many games as I wanted.
    Number 3 would be to make my loans be paid off.
    Number 4 would be to have a large garage built that can house a hell of a lot of vehicles.
    Number 5 would be to acquire those vehicles.
    Number 6 would be to get a few house appliances.

    There's probably more, but at the moment that's all I can think of.

  9. Does anyone else play any fan made games and ROM-hacks? I have 3 that I play. All are Zelda games and on the SNES.

    Zelda: Parallel Worlds
    Zelda: Goddess Of Wisdom
    Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets

    Goddess Of Wisdom is so far beyond hard. I've never seen a game like it. I honestly believe that whoever created it never intended for it to be beaten. Considering that to even hit some of the bosses you're required to use a spin attack. Regular sword slashes do literally nothing. Some enemies can only be hurt by things like arrows. The bosses from Link To The Past are now used as mini bosses in the dungeons. I've been playing it for over two years, and I've only made it to the third temple. I haven't beaten it yet. I can't get through it because Vitreous is a mini boss in the third room as you enter, and the bastard is impossible to fight, let alone beat. The little eyes are now on steroids. They come at you so fast and are so strong you don't really have any time to attack.

    Those are the only fan made games, AKA ROM-hacks that I have. They're fun-ish. The fact that they are so damn hard takes away a good chunk of the fun. Don't get me wrong, I love a challenge. But this one is at the level of cruel with it's difficulty. You think Dark Souls was hard? It's a cake walk compared to this. And GoW isn't even the hardest one of the 3. That one reportedly goes to Parallel Worlds. I have yet to try that one, mainly because I'm already stuck in GoW. I want to at least beat the third temple before I try one of the others.

  10. I'm just the opposite. The shadow and spirit temples are extremely easy. The spirit temple is actually my favorite temple in the game. As for pissing anyone off, fuck em. Everyone has different capabilities, experiences, and play styles. You find the water temple easy. Awesome! I find it a major bitch, especially since I'm trying to get all the gold skulltulas as well. As for the bongo playing penis, that's one trick I hope no man has. I would turn and run if a guy was doing that. especially if two appendages suddenly appeared. My thought on that:

    GENITAL WARTS FROM HELL

  11. I still use a guide to get through the water temple in Zelda OoT. That temple is so vast and such a maze that after more than 20 years, I still can't find my way around by memory. Add in having to change the damn water levels and your boots all the damn time, that makes it worse than any other temple. It is all but impossible. For the rest of the game, I have no problem. They're easy as hell. It's just that damn water temple that causes me to break out the guide.

  12. I knew a guy several years ago that would drone on and on about how great he was. How high his IQ was, how rich was, how strong he was, how big his dick was and more. He was so in love with himself that he would consider it an honor for you to be allowed to be in his presence. I finally told him one time to let me know when he was done kissing his own ass, because my ass was full of shit too. He was so pissed off that I called him out like that (taking a baseball bat to his fragile overinflated ego), that he was red in the face and ran away like the scared little pussy he was. I haven't run into him in probably 20 years. I have no idea what happened to him since then, but I'm sure he has received several ass kickings.

    As for me bragging about something, the only thing I can think of is my pets and my car. I don't look down on anyone who doesn't have things. I've been there. I'm just proud of those two things. I don't have any skills or abilities in anything to brag about. I'm actually a pretty boring person IRL.
