People have also been talking about getting 3 months of GPU turned into 6 months with auto-renew, but that sounds like fake news (unless someone steps forward with the facts).

Also, are we REALLY scared by Sonic Abomination?
I think there was an offer where if you buy a 3 months sub you get another 3 months for free at best buy or Newegg or both. You get another month when you redeem the code and turn on auto-renew which would give you a total of 7 months.

*catches up on season 3 of Silver Spoons starring the legendary Ricky Shroeder
I watch it for Erin Gray. $hit, I'm currently watching reruns of Buck Rogers on MeTV just to see her.

Someone mentioned buying the eventual complete edition of Kingdom Hearts 3 with all the dl content but is there any dl for this game. I checked both the Sony and Xbox store and didn't find any additional story content.

There's some kinda additional paid, story DLC due the end of this year.
 
Skip intro is one thing, and so is cropped Simpsons since that's how it's been on FXNow, but Chip n Dale is fuck ing cropped. The picture is gorgeous. Really amazing quality for a cartoon of that era, but it's cropped!!! Ahhh!!!
 
The holiday hot deal on gift cards started November 15th last year I wonder if we’ll get the same this year when we didn’t even get a hot deal this past month.
 
Signed up for a free trial for Disney+ and was sadden that Aladdin the cartoon was not amongst the animation selection.Instead I watched one of my fav childhood cartoons Gargoyles.
 
Simpsons on Disney+ is stretched out widescreen. BOO! And I don't mean Boo-urns, I mean BOOOOOO!!!

Also seeing Avatar advertised on there is a reminder that, that's the second highest grossing movie of all time and legit I feel no one gives a shit about that franchise.
Cropping Simpsons is such an asshole move.
 
something something destroying the planet with physical media...
Trying to bring that crazy loon into the crowd? I thought I was crazy


Skipping the D+++ talk, wanted to touch base about the now dead Stealth 700 deal. I have the 600s and I really like them. It does suck that I can only use them for my X1 but they sync straight away, I have the ATMOS app and games like RDR2 are awesome with them. I imagine the 700s would be just as nice but I know they have Bluetooth to connect to cell phones.
My two pennies today, back to the wonderful record breaking cold!
 
The Gems of War DLC is a 5th Anniversary Pack everyone who's played the game should get in their Xbox inbox. It's mostly a very low amount of in-game loot. The best bonus in it is the 75 VIP points. 50 VIP points will get you to Level 1.

The codes can be stacked on the same account, so if anyone doesn't plan to use their's, I'd be grateful to have it.

Do they still have a countdown for items? I haven't noticed it. I'm curious because I think last year's BF sale went live sometime Weds-Fri. the week before... Which would mean this coming week.
 
Countdowns went away unfortunately. Yeah the digital Black Friday sale started Thursday the 15th last year, so since were getting a late Thanksgiving this year, hopefully they hit on Thursday the 21st. 

 
Beavis and Butthead would be too "offensive" for the snowflake crowd these days
LOL

You're obviously too young to remember all of the outrage from people over the show in the 90s. They even toned down the show after outrage from people.

But, yeah...something something snowflakes...something something people less offended back then.
 
M$ is announcing BF deals this Thursday at 3PM at X019.   The deals start the following Thursday the 21st (maybe Wednesday night) 1 week before Black Friday.  I am pretty sure they tweeted about it a week or two ago.

"Liar! Liar! Liar-liar pants on---Whoa!" - Beavis watching "Liar" by the Rollins Band after a 5 year old burned down his house and people blamed the cartoon.

 
I've got the 420X headset and have no complaints. Also have the 520 PS4 headset. Granted I paid around $50 each and they're definitely worth that.


Unrelated, have some violence while it's still up. Main event of AEW Full Gear. Actual warning that it's not for sensitive people. Not like the tools talk about sensitive, there's crawling through broken glass.

Oh and CM Punk is back.

Eh, I'm a pretty socially conscious person (shocking, I know) and I actually love Beavis and Butthead. They put out a (very funny) 8th season in 2011, and no one lost their minds.

That season was very funny, but it was also a completely different kind of humour. Which is fine because Judge has matured as a creator and I respect that, but it was very tame and inoffensive compared to his past stuff.

The codes can be stacked on the same account, so if anyone doesn't plan to use their's, I'd be grateful to have it.

Then MTV decided not to renew it after they realized 90% of the show was making fun of their shitty original programming (Jersey Shore, Real World, etc).
 
Every moron today likes to think that today’s world is more sensitive but it was 100% the same growing up 20-30 years ago. There was outrage when Homer first strangled Bart, how Ned Flanders was depicting Christian and more. Hell I remember one interview with a religious leader who wasn’t even outraged but excited that the Simpsons had a Christian character on the show.

The outrage was worse honestly. Some Christians were so offended at the 'satanic' images in Demon's Crest on SNES that they hi jacked it's shipment and caused the game to have negative sales in the US.

While true.. If the Simpsons, Beavis & Butthead, Married with Children etc. were to start today.. I highly doubt they would last to a 2nd season.

20+ years ago Controversy made ratings, ratings made money.

Today controversy creates outrage, outrage is not tolerated.

Some of the controversy's today, were worse back then.. and nothing happened. Black face 20-30 years ago for example wasn't met with instant calls for them to be removed from everything they've ever done.. But it also depends on the person who did it, not context.

There was even a black face TV show for 20 years.... let someone try that today.

Similar outrage 20-30 years ago wasn't met as harshly as today. Yes there were cries for cancelation, but it was more from the minority of viewers. And it wasn't met with as much praise as today.

I remember the Simpsons were targeted, but Fox basically said STFU and renewed them for the next season.

"Some" outrage was the same or worse back then, but it's more frequent today. And the outrage is both tolerated and encouraged in some instances today.

 
I grew up in the late 1980s in Virginia Beach. Pat Robertson and blue laws still had a ruling grip over that area. The local ABC station wasn't even allowed to run NYPD blue the first two seasons because of naked asses. But yeah..people are snowflakes now. 🙄

In the 70s, there was a show that canceled due to backlash over the main characters were a married Catholic and Jewish couple and it offended the religious nuts.

There was a show in the 60s (I think) that was canceled halfway through the first episode for being "raunchy" (it was tame compared to what you see today).

Also, need I remind people about all of the kerfuffle in the 80s/90s about violent video games and "Satanic" music?

Canceled halfway through first episode? Wow. That means enough people called in to complain that they cancelled it during commercial break and didn't air the second half. That's some fast executive decision making! Haha.

You're right. Remember how Nintendo used to censor the shit out of their games? Castlevania always required changes, Bionic Commando wouldn't even touch the Nazi stuff from the Japan version, Assault Suits Valken/Cybernator left out whole scenes and oh lordy Mortal Kombat 1 was just a plain fiasco. Mortal Kombat 11 (on Switch no less!) makes a mockery of the hella tame fatalities in those older games (where are the Congressional hearings if we are so triggered these days?). The censorship in recent Sony games is laughable compared to the butchery Nintendo (and even Sega and NEC at times) did to their games.

 
Punch card for Fallen Order now works for those planning to buy it. Not sure I remember any other 6000 point cards working before release but this one is.
 
It's almost like there are trolls present. defpally hit the point I was going to, they had actual Congressional hearings before. There's a difference between individual people speaking against something and having views imposed.

How dare people be treated with dignity.

Hell yes new Obsidian IP, boo to survival. I have faith they can do it well. And does that mean AoE2 is free with the mixpot?

Sweet, still going to hold out a couple days and see if by some miracle we get a "hot deals" if there isn't one this month I think it's dead :(

 
That's what I have. Don't use them much but don't have any real issues with them either. Why do you hate them?
They constantly disconnect, several times a minute. Astro's response to my dissatisfaction was to "Get a router that doesn't use 5ghz."

fuck you. I spent $300 on my router. This is literally the only thing in my house that has any issues.

 
Ok, yes today people are real assholes over everything but it's not new. I couldn't even play D&D because of the outrage of the "satanic witchcraft" so we had to switch to Rifts for a time until I moved. Hello Night Trap anybody? Yeah people are going crazy over the MCU and the billion dollar movies but back in 50's, thanks to a crappy book named Seduction of the Innocent, comics were a Congressional subject. Outrage of the highest order! That's how we ended up with the Comics Code. So yeah, every generation has whiny, overreacting dipshits that get triggered over nothing

The sensitivity has always been there, but the cancel culture of today is about more than just the content. It's about canceling the people behind the content or associated with the content. I don't like this thing this person said, so everything they do is bad. This person said something offensive 10 years ago, so we can't like them now.

There is definitely more sensitivity now and the "outrage" spreads much faster because of social media and generally easier communication methods. This is the real heart of the problem. If someone didn't like something and was offended in the 60's, 70's, 80's, etc. they had to write letters, make phone calls, etc. Today, you can go post on twitter or simply "like" a Facebook post or retweet someone else's outrage and it get's publicity and also makes you feel like you're doing something. So it's easier to be sensitive. Most of us like me are simply too lazy to be sensitive. If I had to write a letter, find a stamp, and walk to my mail box, i'd be too tired to be sensitive about an interracial couple kissing on the Love Boat or whatever ground breaking TV was being forced on me this week.

 
LOL

You're obviously too young to remember all of the outrage from people over the show in the 90s. They even toned down the show after outrage from people.

But, yeah...something something snowflakes...something something people less offended back then.
i remember i wore a shirt of them that said "Hey man we're famous, that's cool" and my teacher told me to turn it inside out

if i remember correctly the outrage was over a fire a young kid set and claimed they were influenced by Beavis saying "FIRE FIRE"

people would be more offended today and I can't believe you think otherwise, open your eyes and ears
