  1. Nice birthday get and happy belated birthday (specially with all the crap you've probably been going through at work). I actually didn't know there was a snes version of the game. The GB version i think is pretty common if you want to pair it up.
  2. I have to agree with curbside pickup. I end up getting two things from ikea this weekend for my wife's parents and other then a small hitch (they initially dropped off the wrong items but it was sorted quickly) this was a far better experience then trying to set foot in an ikea during the best of times. Sure it was $5 but I would gladly spend that again for this to continue. You get to go park in a designated spot for pickups (so no fighting for parking space), you call a number, someone text you back to get your order info then they drop the items off next to your car. We were in/out in less then 10 mins (would have been faster if not for the mixup).
  3. This man lies so much I don't get why everybody doesn't just automatically assume anything he says is a lie until proven otherwise.
  4. Yeah Trump and Co are going to rig and steal this election as much as possible. So everybody and their grandma will need to find some way to vote for there to be any chance of this not being stolen (Even if he loses I expect him to take it to court or some other BS to invalidate the results).
  5. While I agree that XSN was great and we need another amped there might be some difficulty depending on what hold/rights 2k/2k sports has on the series due to Amped 3.
  6. Eh maybe. My dad side is irish/italian mix (grandmother was half/half, grandfather was italian) with most of my mom side dates back to the mayflower and puritans with not much variance. Red hair and pale skin also runs in the family. If I don't get any sun some parts of me can get casper white. Another useless fact, I'm also loosely related to ty cobb (he's an uncle somewhere in the family tree).
  7. It 100% is with maybe a move towards more remote work over all. As is Canada has a large talent pool and salary/rates are so much less here then SV, LA, NY or Denver. Mtl has a large gaming and AI hub and Toronto is practically SV north already for everything else. I know of quite a few studios who are either setting up outpost in Toronto or already looking to vastly expand their existing ones.
  8. I've been saying this for a while. Canada is getting a large boost in tech workers and big companies. I think the only thing that is lagging but starting to pick up is the startup investment side of things.
  9. It's a fantastic game for that. When you get tired you can always just go to Club Sega to burn off some steam with classic arcade games. I've found myself sometimes booting up 6 so I can go play Virtua Fighter.
  10. It's a fun brawler wrapped in a japanese crime drama. While the series started out on the PS2 some of the games roots can be dated back to sega arcade days with the likes of Spikeout. The series sometimes tries to have a serious tone to its story but the only games that really kept to that were 1 & 2 with the rest of the series kind of going off the deep end at times. The games also have a sizable amount of content with core game taking about 30h but can easily pad out to 50+ if you do a lot of the side stuff. Over all the games are just zany fun if you like a brawler and are willing to go exploring. If Zero doesn't capture you then the rest of the series wont. Also skip Dead Souls. As for which ones I've played. I've played 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, Black Panther 1 & 2, Kenzan & Dead Souls. I've got on my backlog Judgement & Lost Paradise. I still need to pick up 0, 5, Inshin & the kawami remakes.
  11. These idiots seem to be fine with being full steam ahead with a cascading economic collapse at the end of the year.
  12. I never get the love for PD. I never liked it even on the n64 (sure GoldenEye was great). Now if fable tries to be a reboot and be more like the original games and less of them slapping the name onto something else then that is a massive win IMO. I've borderline though about digging out my OG xbox so I can play the first game again.

  14. Not sure I'm digging the dubs but I'm just too use to the japanese VOs for the series. Yet anything that helps improve marketing on the series is great. Yet still not a fan that gameplay trailers keep beating around the bush that the game is an RPG and not a brawler like past games. I'm afraid that is going to blow up on them when it comes out.
  15. I'm a former gamedev with a vast network of friends who still work for large game studios and I say LOL. TomCat, -edit- I say former but I still build random shit in unity for fun when I get bored building cloud services.
  16. Even during my time at the studio, the marketing team had way too much control and it was straight up bullshit IMO. They were usually the ones wrong 90% of the time.
  17. Thanks for that. I missed that bit in the jp direct (which was so much better)
  18. The SMT stuff was cool but why did it need to be announced now when it's a 2021 release? Also annoying that other than the HD remake, SMT5 barely showed us anything.
  19. The kids should be sent to his home. I’m sure he will welcome them in with open arms.
  20. Oregon should really call in their national guard already. It's really fucked up what is going on over there.
  21. I kind of wonder how this is affecting politics in alberta since they're usually pro US.
