Re: Anime Thread

I think I saw a remake of Bubblegum Crisis. Tokyo 2040 or something like that. I guess I should check out the original 2040 is VERY 90s, and the original Crisis is VERY 80s. 2040 is definitely more linear around the central storyline, whereas the original Crisis is a bit more edgy and resembles a l...

Re: Random Thoughts Thread

I may have mentioned it before, but I'm generally pretty interested in what it's like to live in a tourist destination. Not because I want to live in one myself, but because it's got to be kind of weird to live in a place that gets visited by so many vacationers who are taking a break from their ev...

Between the EGM archives and the VGHF's archive of gaming magazines, there's a lot of classic print gaming content available now on-line.

Re: Chromecast as basic home theater solution

What's wrong with Roku? Should I toss it for Chromecast? We chiefly just use Tubi or apps for paid services instead of the Roku app. I'll try and dig up some links to attach to this reply, but I recall reading that Roku was one of the most if not the most aggressive companies about collecting your ...

Re: Anime Thread

The original Bubblegum Crisis OVAs are probably my favorite anime of all time. It hits me just right.

Re: Chromecast as basic home theater solution

That sounds pretty cool. I think a kitchen TV would be great to have. We don't really have available wall space, unfortunately, but it would still be pretty cool.

Re: Summer Games Challenge 2025 - GET EQUIPPED

That boss shut down a Hugo run on PC a few years ago. I could not handle it. Hugo seems like a pretty tricky character compared to Yunica anyway. Are you playing it on Switch this time? I'm wondering if Hugo is actually kind of like playing in hard mode. Daytona USA is actually a really deep racing...

Re: Summer Games Challenge 2025 - GET EQUIPPED

Centipede boss? The one with the lightning rod spikes that wraps around the tower? That one gave me the least trouble of any of the bosses so far, I think.

Re: Summer Games Challenge 2025 - GET EQUIPPED

Gunboat This is a simulator for a Patrol Boat, River class ship which released in 1990. You engage in missions in Vietnam, Honduras, and Panama. The controls are complicated in that early PC-gaming kind of way, so I had to track down a set of the Amiga controls and translate to DOS; thankfully they...

Re: So what have you guys been watching lately?

We have been watching Adventure Time as a family over supper, but my kid is so into it he forgets to eat, so we're now doing mental calculations on how we can keep doing this and ensure the boy stays fed. He's not very food-driven...
