  1. I looked it up, it looks like Best Buy offered a Total Tech membership for $199 that might have been necessary to try and buy a PS5/Xbox. I didn't run into anything about that while buying it though. Just did the credit check through Citizen bank, said approved, and got a receipt with the pick up barcode to take to the store. The thought of paying $34.99 for the next 24 months sounds annoying but the fine print said there is no fee if you pay off the purchase early which is cool.
  2. I was randomly looking into buying a Series X and noticed the All Access program on the Best Buy website. Click on it to see I can buy it and get it for store pick up this Thursday the 18th. So I did it. Was it really that easy? Does the All Access thing get priority with new consoles? Maybe I set myself up for disappointment come Thursday. I guess I'll find out...Anybody here buy one through this program with the monthly payments?
  3. I finished rewatching the whole series about a month ago. Ending still greatly sucked. Just caught up with this new episode. The first half hour or so I wasn't feeling it, but by the end..... man I'm hyped to see what happens! Story moved along pretty quickly by the end. A lot more than I expected.
  4. Randomized bullet spread?? Is that why I can seem to kill anyone? I even loaded up a singleplayer round against bots earlier. I can have an enemy dead in my sights and it seems like the first 2 shots hit, and then I waste a whole clip even if I try tapping the trigger different ways.
  5. I was like a year late to the original Half-Life game. Before I played it, PC Gamer had a demo disc with Half-Life Uplink and I played that soooo much. I was also subscribed to the Dreamcast magazine with the demo discs and I played the hell out of all of those. Probably more than the full games if I ended up renting them.
  6. I was seriously considering going on a hunt for a Series X just for the new Halo and Forza. Haven't kept up with the availability though and don't know if I want to jump into the stress of searching one out.
  7. I've only put in about 2 hours or so. Definitely a weird game for me to describe. There are times where I just don't feel connected to what's going on. It's 128 players and a giant map but it just doesn't feel like it. I can jump into a helicopter and fly around, and it feels like there is about 20 players max on the whole level. Then you land and it just feels like people pop up out of nowhere and you're dead. Or it can suddenly turn so chaotic, no matter how good you are, enemies come at you from every angle and you don't stand a chance. So you just kind of look at the spawn map and think "huh I guess I'll see what happens over here". And even from the beta, I just can NOT get used to trying to switch characters and weapons. Maybe its easier on pc with a mouse. Here's a random screenshot from the internet: Like in the heat of the moment, I want to quickly change something and respawn, the way this is set up just doesn't vibe with me on a controller. There's too much up/down/left/right /L1/R1 going on. The Bad Company 2 level I played last night felt really good though. I'll definitely be playing that more.
  8. @Jason I'm a little tired right now, maybe not thinking clearly. But as I listen to this judge talk about his txt messages.... I'm really cringing at it and it sure sounds like he's not doing something correctly lol.
  9. I think it would be hilarious if within a month or two she goes off the deep end doing crazy stuff,spending all her money. Then everyone would be like "whoops...".
  10. I was playing on PS5 tonight WISHING I had a mouse and keyboard. I can't line up a shot fast enough without instantly dieing. Jumping back into the Bad Company 2 maps felt really good though!
  11. A friend of mine died a few months ago suddenly while he was at work. I hadn't talked to him for a few years. But back when GTA III came out, I brought my ps2 over to his house and we played it all night into the morning. Half way through the night I think we discovered cheat codes somewhere and we were blown away. Definitely buying this when I get home tonight. Hoping to feel a little of that magic again.
  12. I can see it both ways, I'm personally in the camp of admitting it rather than hiding it. When you are in a relationship with someone, I think it's understood you are committing to each other. Your supposed to be strong enough to make good decisions and not be unfaithful to the person you're with. If the other person held up their end of the bargain but you failed, they should be able to decide if they want to continue. I slowly found out over the years that in the past, my grandpa cheated on my grandma when he was stationed in Japan. He waited a while but eventually came clean. They already had 3 kids at the time. The marriage was downhill after that because then my grandma felt like she could get back at him by cheating on him with another man. She ended up getting hepatitis. They stayed together, but the older they got, the more they hated each other (and everybody could tell). Probably would have been a better quality of life had he not told anyone.
  13. People disgust me. Lose their fucking minds over a couple singers. Most of them probably just wanted to hold their phones up and take "look at me" pictures... all while other people are getting crushed to death.
  14. Sad story. It takes a lot of trust to put a $30k custom wheelchair into the hands of an airline. Its in no way her fault and the airline should have paid up right away. But years ago we couldn't even fly to Florida without the airline losing our luggage. They delivered it to our hotel 3 days later. And most planes I've been on wouldn't come close to being able to fit a wheelchair through the doors and into the aisle. People with bad medical conditions like her almost need custom planes for that video to work.
  15. Either chicken with broccoli or chicken with mixed vegetables. I love my crispy veggies. I'll eat general tso or sesame chicken sometimes but I'm usually let down because of how fatty and gross the meat can be. Throw in a shrimp egg roll with the spicy mustard and I'm good to go.
  16. Does anyone here know where these surveys come from or how you can take them? When I see a headline like "1 in 6 Americans believe this", I'm always wondering how many people get involved in the survey, where they are being given, etc...
  17. Any luck finding it? Maybe someone will be nice and return it to you.
  18. I don't keep up with this stuff so when I read the headline and saw the pics, it kind of made me feel like I'm in a different time line.
  19. When I watched the trailer I was getting kind of a Star Trek/Star Wars vibe. I bet it will be good.
  20. I played the trial for about an hour and a half. It was way too much tutorial fluff that I lost interest. Kind of wished I could fast forward the game about 3 hours in to see what it was really all about. After a while I thought the game looked more exciting than it actually played.
