    That's quite an opinion. MachineGames' Wolfenstein series, however, has been critically acclaimed across the board. They're fantastic in gameplay, story, and sheer polish. Trying to use that as a basis for your opinion on the new Indy title doesn't really help your argument. I think it'll be...

    Android phones also have a notification history. My pixel has it on the top pull down menu, but my old Galaxy S10 had it in the phone settings under the notifications menu. Edit: Was too late responding. Got Goj'd.

    I noticed WrestleQuest is cheaper now on sale ($15) than on GameFlip, so I snatched it up. And BroForce for $3... even though I finished it on GP, I loved that game and had to own it.

    I've got mine set to control/mute my TV volume. Actually pretty handy and I don't have to deal with the accidental screenshots. I dunno, I picked up Cookie Cutter, Alan Wake Remastered, and Plague Tale Innocence for about $8 total. I can live with those prices.

    Did we do the usual "what games we finished" for 2023? Did I miss that convo?

    I usually do mine between 6 and 7pm while I have my son at Taekwondo practice. I always make sure I hit north of 5000 points and rarely get anything less than 500 DRP.

    That's a bummer. Maybe I'll get lucky. I still think this may be the most effective route. And yeah, I used to Game Share with her until my son started to get into Xbox. We decided he could be my Plus One and my daughter could have her own unique Game Pass (there's 3 consoles). I wish MS...

    I know this is one of those topics that gets dredged back up every once in a while, but I'm gonna ask it anyway - my daughter's Game Pass has expired (and mine is up in Feb.). CD Keys has some $10 3-month Gold cards (if I take a trip to South Africa). If I buy 4 of those and hopefully get...

    One of my oldest daughter's gifts this year was to go see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. That was no joke one of best hard rock concerts I've ever seen.

    It is. These come with a 2-year code though. I checked after I redeemed it and sure enough, I have 2 years on it. I'll have to pony up the $15 when the time comes.

    My wife picked me up a Nacon Rig 500 Pro HX headset for Christmas. They ridiculously cheap right now on Amazon. It's a wired headset and I'm sure it's not the best sounding, but they're extremely comfortable (and that's coming from a big dude with a large noggin) and they're optimized for...

    Since I'm up at 2 a.m. putting finishing touches on Christmas morning for the kids, I'll go ahead and wish all y'all a very Merry Christmas!

    They completely recasted it with nobodies and re-recorded all the dialogue. They also re-did the pixel graphics with a modern painted/illustrated look (not as huge a deal, interesting to see but lacks the charm of the original).

    Tim Curry as Gabriel, Mark Hamill as Det. Mosely, and Leah Remini as Grace were utter perfection. It's a shame they messed with the voice cast with that 20th Anniversary update. Glad I kept my CD-ROM version of the original. That game changed video game storytelling for me.

    My wife is not a gamer, but my kids are. Naturally when the kids act up or need punished, blame and reaction goes straight to video games and typically if they get banned, "I shouldn't play in front of them" as well. It's a real bummer. That being said, my wife really is my best friend. We...

    I got to spend a little time with that game today, and let me tell you, it's hilarious. It's been a while since I guffawed at a game - I was cracking up every level. Meanwhile my 13 year old daughter didn't get half of the references but was still laughing at the chaos.

    I'm not saying that. I'm saying it's unfair to say it's a bad game - it's not. There are improvements in it. We want to re-live the "lightning in a bottle" that was 2 and 3 and it's going to very hard to do that. But to say Infinite is a bad game is blatently wrong. It's a very good game...

    This is the way. Redfall was never going to live up to the artificially over-inflated expectations of those who love to complain (seems like mostly Sony fanboys who didn't even play it). They were waiting on it to basically NOT be Starfield so they could pounce on MS for any reason they could...

    Venba is a very sweet and short puzzle-lite cooking game. It also makes me sad as a middle aged person. I also tried out Figment 2. I need more singing from bad guys in my games ala the Mighty Poo. I don't know if I'm going to keep playing it, I really need to dig into New Colossus again.
