Im sure he was very proud of it in the earlier years

Probably is now, but also doesnt care Id guess. As long as it still makes money

The Christmas special is still one of the best holiday episodes ever. That one scene with the grandma always hits me hard

I think that's fair. It was really the first time a lot of us had any exposure to an actual 3D world, and if you were a kid when this was released this was probably the biggest thing in gaming you had seen so far.

I still vividly remember going to rent a game from the local video store. They got in the system and games early and the owners son was playing it behind the counter (they had a big television set up where they would run movies all day or employees could play games when it wasn't busy). Seeing Mario run around that castle for the first time just left me stunned. I almost couldn't believe what I was seeing.

lol i don't remember seeing that when i played it

I just played this game not long ago, and remember this conversation, but don't remember that line at all

I'm almost positive that wasn't in the game, but now I actually don't know. If thats a fake its really well done.

All in all I'd say yea, but not in a typical sense. Like the gameplay is ok, but I honestly don't think its as good as people make it out to be. It accomplishes what it sets out to do, but its just not all that engaging to me.

What I find fun about the series is exploring the world. The enemies and atmosphere are simply unmatched. I always love seeing what horrifying boss I'm going to be fighting next or what the next creepy area will look like. That, and taking down an enemy who fills the screen is what I find fun about it

Easily my least favorite era. I just dont get the love for it

Still, I wouldnt want to go back to my favorite gen. I prefer going forward

The first half was really freaking good

not sure if I loved the direction of the 2nd half though. The showdown at the end kind of felt out of place too

Still, a solid 8/10

I just got a PS4 (after not playing a PlayStation in 15 or so years) with the Black Friday $200 bundle. System came with God of War, Horizon, and The Last of Us and I picked up Spiderman, Uncharted collection and Uncharted 4 during the Thanksgiving sale for real cheap.

Not sure if I'm seeing much on this list I want though (even though I only did a quick skim).

No Bloodbourne and the price of God of War 3 isn't great.

Anything I should maybe look at? Just looking for exclusives really as I already have an Xbox
---

Pine State milk

We have the exact same spread on both Thanksgiving and Christmas, but for some reason I prefer the Thanksgiving meal much more.

Maybe because the meal is the only thing we really focus on that day and don't have to worry about gifts or anything like that.

Plus a nap on Thanksgiving in the late afternoon with all the fall colors is probably one of the greatest things ever

Not from here but have been living in the area since 1998.

Durham has always been a very two-sided city

I was thinking about getting a PS4 in the black Friday bundle for all the exclusives I've missed through the years (haven't had a PS since the PS2)

I'm going to get that $200 PlayStation 4 deal if they're available online

I hate myself for it too because I have no clue when I'd be able to get around to this system, but if there's a time to finally have a way to experience Uncharted, God of War, and The Last of Us this is probably it

Its kinda weird to me. My friends and I played the crap out of Goldeneye and I played through the campaign I don't know how many times. When Perfect Dark was announced I was incredibly hyped. Everything about it made it seem like a game we were going to play forever.

Then when it released. Nothing. I mean I think I got it day one and I remember thinking it was an obviously better game than Goldeneye, but something about it never clicked with me. I remember my friends and I played the multiplayer once or twice and while it was fun we kind of just dropped it. I loved everything the game was throwing out, but for some reason I didn't love the game. Same thing with TWINE kinda. I got that game for Christmas the year it released and remember enjoying the campaign, but then never played it again. I couldn't even tell you what happened past the first stage. I think I was going through a weird teenage phase at that time and may have lost interest in gaming for awhile

The way everyone talks about it makes me think I would probably not enjoy it

Its one of those Rick and Morty scenarios to me. If you go into it without listening to what people say about it you will probably enjoy it. Its not an emotional roller coaster kind of show like many claim. It's just a funny, clever and well written show with some bleak overtones.

Yeah I'm liking all the new cereals they put out. I get one every now and then and they do taste accurate/good for the most part excluding the sour patch cereal.

That wasn't a good traditional cereal, but if you just ate them dry.....not a bad snack

They've been doing this with a lot of snacks lately, and they surprisingly taste like the thing they're based after

The Donnet cereal taste almost exactly like a small donut. Its kind of crazy

In our bathroom there is literally a puddle underneath a urinal everyday. To the point where it looks more like someone was actively meaning to not hit the urinal. We've tried to do some investigation, but were never able to pinpoint one person

At my last job I was actually blamed for peeing all over the toilet seat even though I always used the urinal. It was a lot of fun trying to explain that there was no way it could have been me, but it was obvious he didn't believe me. That pissed (pun) me off.

Probably close to 100. We definitely would have it over that, but we were gone over an hour taking our daughter around.

Halloween is probably the biggest celebrated holiday in out neighborhood so its always a blast. It went on for 3+ hours. It was also legit spooky weather too because it was windy and had lightning come in. Thankfully the rain didn't start until after it was all over

Guide posted...

Ah, that last one especially. My team got wiped, and all I had was a deagle with a single clip left, and four on the enemy team still alive. Everyone watching, getting hyped, the final kill with my last bullet, even the adult who owned the place jumped out of his seat.

That reminds me of one time my friend and I were playing Halo 2. We were on separate teams and playing team deathmatch. There were only a few seconds left and amazingly everyone else was waiting to respawn. We're both on opposite sides of the map and we each open a door and see each other. We both happen to only be holding the energy swords so we start running at each other. If that wasn't tense enough the next kill wins the match. So we three seconds left we're gaining distance on each other. We both swing at the same time and.....the match ends before either gets a kill.

It was one of the most cinematic things I've ever seen in a multiplayer match and the odds of everything coming together like that again are astronomical

Pine State milk

Too many to really list, but one that always sticks out is the first time my best friend and I rented Earthbound.

The rental store actually gave you the big guide with the game so I was staying the night at his house as we'd take turns playing. In the guide it says to visit the local arcade to play the latest game of Killer Instinct (I think that was the game mentioned). We spent forever trying to figure out how to play it, but obviously you couldn't

In a mythology class, a fundie student (we called em Jesus freaks back then) asked me why I referred to the deities in the myths in the present tense (for example, I said things like Zeus is the king of the Olympian gods instead of saying was). My reply was that all deities are neither more nor less real and existing now than they were in ancient times. It took him a while, though, to figure out that I had just dismissed his deity as an ancient myth. A number of others in the class, though, including the teacher, caught it right away and had a nice smile at the freaks expense.

Without a doubt, there was a fedora tipped at some point during this exchange

I'm pretty hyped. As someone who really enjoyed BO 4, I'm really glad they have gone back to their roots with this one. Ground War is a mode I've been wanting in CoD for years and rumor is they are going to bring back a battle royal for this game in a few months. Best of all is the campaign though. I haven't fully enjoyed a campaign since BO2 or Ghosts so going back to a more grounded story is a huge deal for me.

Also I can not get down with those Game Fuels. I've only had the blue one but there is this weird after taste I can't get past. I will say though that as unnecessary as the tab is, the whole design of the can is really cool.

I can't think of anything more unfun than being at an over crowded amusement park

We were at Busch Gardens a few years ago during their Halloween event and the day was gray, damp, and cold (but not raining) and it was awesome because we didn't have to wait in any lines and got to do almost all the Haunted Houses (there was a considerable amount of people there at night though)

I actually still like Green Day (although their latest single is easily one of the worst things they've ever put out), but whenever Billie Joe talks about politics or religion he comes off as a huge edgelord and its embarrassing.

They haven't put out anything really good since Warning imo. A lot of stuff after that has just been boring.

But IMO.... you can only listen to so many songs about a dead dog, ex gf and new pickup truck

I can't agree with that. Country music has a huge amount of topics covered and many that would only sound right in the genre

Country music is just fun to me. I don't listen to it all the time, but I love it in the summer. Especially when hitting the beach

Plus the concerts I've seen have been great. Like, I know everyone loves to hate on Florida Georgia Line (yea, yea pop country), but they can put on an insane show.

Fall (Can still do plenty of outdoor activities, plus all the events going on during this time. Not to mention October is the best month of the year with Halloween ending it all off)

Summer (I personally will never get the hate for summer. There is just so much to do outside that I don't care with having to put up with the heat. I live in the south too so the humidity is just awful, but I still love summer)

Winter (I like this season because its a chance to kinda just "chill" and get caught up with indoor stuff. I don't have to deal with much snow though so I can see why people hate this season)

Spring (This season sucks mostly. I can just never be comfortable. Cold in the morning and hot in the afternoons, plus its always soggy or rainy outside. Its also just boring. Gross)

EDIT: I ordered mine from best to worst

95% digital (I just don't like having a collection of stuff I'll more than likely never play again. Plus these days most of my gaming is coming from GamePass)

4% physical (Though I don't really want a collection I do like to collect steelbooks for big games in a series I'm a fan of (most recently that was Mortal Kombat 11). Also the times like Black Friday or something where I find a great deal on a physical game)

1% special edition (It seems every 6 or 7 years a game will come out with a special edition with something I'd like to add to my gameroom. First it was the Halo 3 helmet, then the Mortal Kombat bookends, and most recently it will be the Doom: Eternal helmet).
