  1. Playnite seriously kicks arse for handling collections https://playnite.link/

  2. God help me, I wanna play Skyrim again…

      I know what you mean... but for me it's the Fallout games... I'm craving some Fallout 3 again.  Sometimes some games are just evergreen titles!

      I was thinking about fallout as well, just woke up this morning and the news: Microsoft buys Bethesda.

      You don't play Skyrim "again"... you just wake from the dream of NOT playing it.

      Are you talking about the "Console Companion?"  I use a different app - the XBox beta app all the time to get to gamepass.

    3. cimerians

      cimerians

      Yeah that's the one I'm not using console companion anymore 'cause they're getting rid of it. Since I don't have gamepass it's pretty useless for me. ?

      Dood - you can upgrade from Gold to GamePass for just $1!  

  4. So they let go about a dozen people today, last time they axed a hundred people about 8 years ago with layoffs every year. Meanwhile the same upper management is STILL in place as they drive the company into a downward spiral. Corporations.

      the good news is they should have a new job in a week or two.

      It was great, when I think about it now it was pretty revolutionary. Resident Evil, Metal Gear, Parasite Eve, Crash Bandicoot etc. Played the crap out of it, almost everybody I knew had one and a lot of them bought it for Final Fantasy 7. I'm done with modern consoles for the most part too.

      It was super awesome. I was 25 at the time, and it was almost exactly what I "needed."

  6. Princess Bride remake? Not sure who owns the rights to Princess Bride but it seems the rumors come from Sony, this is three times Sony has pissed me off this year. Sony can go f*** themselves.

      Enough with the remakes already!

    3. Flojomojo

      The ONLY acceptable way to remake Princess Bride is to rotoscope over the original, and keep all the old voices. I would be fine with a new look, but only barely. Make it look like Undone. https://time.com/5672110/undone-amazon-review/

      A Princess bride remake?>????    INCONCEIVABLE!

  10. I remember getting excited for games way back....back when you could bring home a complete game.

      Yup. I am hunting and pecking for deals on "complete" versions of Injustice or Tekken 7; both have enough DLC to cost more than the games themselves it seems. :( And even apart from the cost, I agree fully, just give me all the things that should be in the game. Not a partial game.

    3. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      Pretty sure you can still buy complete games. Even disc based-ones.

      If this is true, this will mean three stores gone from our local mall in a month's time. JcPenny, Radio Shack, and Game Stop. Also means the nice one in town will be gone as well. The United States, such a wonderful place...

    3. save2600

      save2600

      Companies making poor decisions is more like it. Radio Shack has been on the ropes for years and years. JC Penney shot themselves in the foot and hardly recovered from their "low regular price" business model and LameStop... good riddance. Can't stand their stores or general business model either. They too have been on a downward spriral for years.

    4. simbalion

      simbalion

      And yet the executives from those companies will deploy their golden parachutes and continue to fail upward. :(

  12. Just a reminder to all, give your hands a break and stop gaming when you feel ANY discomfort.

  15. So long...and thanks for all the fish

  16. Developed some tendinitis in my hands, just want to remind anyone out there if you game a lot, take a break every hour regardless if your tired or not.

      Agree. It started dawning on me last year. Just really tired of it all. Realized I have no respect or care for anyone in the game (announcers, players,owners, coaches etc.). Nobody. It's sad I never thought I'd feel this way. Founders rolling in their graves...

      One hour of game, three hours of commercial made by execs on crack.

  18. MS just bought Linkedin which also owns Lynda.com.....WTF

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      They paid a LOT for it, too ...but not as much per user as they did for Skype.

       

      They're coming for YOU, too!

      Especially with the homebrewers working on it.

       

      It's filling the gap that Atari-the-Cheap had back in the day

      +2!

      This system is epic. So much untapped potential (just look at the homebrews), and a fun challenge to program (with 7800basic).

  20. Microsoft busted by FTC.....LOL
