Re: Covid 19 / everybody PANDEMIC
Got my first shot of the Moderna vaccine yesterday! Woohoo! Looking forward to getting the other in a few weeks. The drive-thru system I was sent to was streamlined and fast. I figured I wouldn't be eligible to get a vaccine anytime soon, but the phases changed a bit where I live and qualified by wo...

Re: [The video game thread]
[/quote] COTW! I should play that again. I don't have any of the expansions but I could crawl around in the underbrush for awhile. You should! It's not a game for everyone, but for whatever reason it is right up my alley with interest & the gameplay. "I'll play for 20 minutes" typically turns into a...

Re: [The video game thread]
Just as I wrapped up my quest for all Gold/Diamond animals in COTW, a new map was released ( Te Awaroa National Park ). Downloaded it yesterday and the first animal I harvested was a Gold level Feral Goat! What a way to start! Now there's only a couple Golds left for me to get on that map. Just befo...

Re: [The video game thread]
Reached a personal goal in theHunter: Call of the Wild, which was to get a Gold level of every animal in the game (some animals are on multiple maps, so I just stuck with the animals themselves). The last was a troublesome coyote, but I stumbled across one while hunting whitetail deer. Now I'll be l...

Re: [The video game thread]
Sony was nice enough to put together an individualized 'year-in-review' thing for users, so I took a peek at what I did on my PS4 over 2020. I had already known that I didn't play much of anything besides theHunter: Call of the Wild this year. It was simply too much fun, so much stuff to do, and a l...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
About a week or so ago I found SS86 Jazz at Walmart. Passed on Kup and Blurr, since I don't have any interest in those two. But Jazz is pretty great. Very clean aesthetic (as it should be for the cartoon) but I think it has enough panel detail to work in a Classics collection. Even though I have the...

Re: [The video game thread]
I was impressed with a wireless 8bitdo controller for my TG16 Mini, so I went ahead and ordered ones for my SNES Mini (but bought the rainbow buttoned Super Famicom version) and my Genesis Mini. Both are well made and work exceptionally well, just like the TG16 one. I'll be picking up one for my NES...

Re: [The video game thread]
Have you ever finished that game? Yes, back when it was released on the Wii during the launch period. I was lucky in that I had gone to a KMart on release night and they did a raffle (not for $) for the Wii units. Got one of those and TP. Between that and Wii Sports I was busy for months. I don't r...

Re: [The video game thread]
I'm almost done replaying Twilight Princess . I started a run on that one last year (the HD version on the Wii U). Fun game, but you're right, the pacing can be awful. The beginning of the game is notoriously slow paced. I never finished my run this time around, since I thought I was close to done ...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
I mostly like the new Cyclonus except for the... cankles? Cankles. Haven't seen one yet, though. I noticed that today too. Chunky ankles, semi-tiny feet. Still stand well though, since the overall footprint is big. Went to Target yesterday to pick up a Blackarachnia I saw a few days ago. Simply to ...

Re: [The video game thread]
My TG16 Mini came in. I love it. There's just so much here I never played! I just finished New Adventure Island last night. Working on Neutopia as well (halfway through?). There are shmups galore on this thing, some good, some not so good. I think my faves are in the Star Soldier line. But there's a...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Kingdom Cyclonus Found at Target while shopping with my family. Didn't expect to find any Kingdom stuff out just yet, but was pleasantly surprised. They had the whole first wave of all the size classes, and this is the sole one I was really interested in (though Warpath does look very nice). Except...

Re: [The video game thread]
Been playing random things over the last few weeks, as my attention span has been all over the map with Christmas stuff. Finished up the campaign and DLC campaign on Battlefront II (PS4) . Nothing special, but a fun mix of FPS and starship battles. I think this game has been sitting around on my sys...

Re: Your Latest Non-TF Toy Acquisitions
Lego SW 75286 Grievous's Starfighter A Christmas gift from the wife and kids, and something I really didn't expect. Ep III is one of my favorite SW movies, so this is a nice set to have. I would have never bought it myself since it is really overpriced, but I can't say no to a great gift. The starf...

Re: What TV shows are you watching thread.
Finished watching season 2's of both The Mandolorian and Cobra Kai. I like them both for different reasons. Mando is just a nice SW show that hits all the marks. Made me enjoy SW again after the ho-hum-ness of the sequel trilogy. Cobra Kai has been a fun ride, since I've enjoyed the first two movies...

Siege Netflix Mirage (Decepticon) A gift from the wife and kids. I like the Siege Mirage mold well enough, and this one was a surprise. The deco is interesting enough, though I am surprised they made a figure from about 30 seconds of show time. Probably makes for great play value if you have the tw...

Re: [The video game thread]
I thought about Majora's Mask, but then realized I don't actually like that game. In the last couple years I played the MM 'remake' on 3DS. They modified the save system to be much more forgiving (instant saves that pick right up where you left off, IIRC) which I liked. Some would argue that it 'br...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!
Earthrise Bumblebee (Netflix) I was in Walmart earlier and came across him. Wanting a new 'Bee and already liking the Cliffjumper figure made this an easy pick. Great little car and great robot mode. The top of the car is a little tough to plug in and I worry that the paint will chip over time. Sur...

Re: [The video game thread]
PS5 That is all Do you like it? I hear the load times are ridiculously quick. I plan on getting one in the next year or so, when I scrabble the cash together and stores actually have reliable stock around. Not in a rush since I am still really enjoying the PS4. I also hear the controller is fantast...
