I have two 2K games rollin. I didn't know NBA 2K24 was on gamepass and then I have Tennis on PS5. 

AND MLB24 is on gamepass and it's FANTASTIC  in my opinion!

It's challenging and to constantly hit a good or great shot can take It's toll on you. I still absolutely love it. 

STOP MAKING ME WANT / NEED THIS GAME MAN!

I have given him too much and he litteraly didn't even give the game a chance. I'm having an utter blast with it. It's not difficult in the slightest. I'm not giving someone $50 for them to check out a tutorial mode in a game then delete it for a refund. He didn't even play it. I'm not made of money man. I just bought him DD2 and he dropped that, too. I bought him 3 games in one month lol. I'm very kind with my money but there is a limit that I can't take.

OK, OK it's your gig and wasn't my place to say anything. I apologise kind sir . . .

I just played an exhibition match against Andre Agassi and wiped the floor with him in 6 sets. All in the process of having an utter blast. It’s a terrific tennis game. You don't need training. I learned a lot just through a long match. 

 

@Biggie Yea I'll take a gift for $50 whenever you are capable of doing so. 

     Seriously? I mean seriously? you asking for your money back? That takes a genuinely honorable act and just wipes it. Don't do that, just learn your lesson and move on. Your better than that! You really are . . . 

BEST BUY Should price match target!

CRAZY CHEAP prices for a stunner of a TV. We have our 83" LGG3 and everynight we are wowed by it's beauty. Highly recommend to anyone wanting an Oled!

    Easily in the older game playing boat. I have such a large backlog of games and in the last few years now have been really great at not spending 2-3k a year on games and frankly it's been nice! I could, it's just such a waist at this point. I still have 6 of the biggest AAA games I bought for my PSS5 still unplayed and the damned slim is out with rumors of a PS5+ coming soon. Enough of this shit! I have Returnal, Deathloop, the latest Ratchet & Clank, Demon Souls remake, GOW Ragnarok, Dying Light 2, spiderman & SM Miles Morales, etc, etc. This is nearly the same with Series X but not quite as bad as Game pass has kept me rolling in plenty of games since launch. 

BEEN PLAYING THE SHIT out of MBL24 on Gamepass. At this point if it were to leave I'd have to buy it, it's that good. I used to be a HUGE MLB2k player, and could even justify a system purchase just to play that game! when it was exclusive Sony, but the last 8 or so years I just stopped and played what I already owned and didn't buy every year at launch. So not playing a new version now for almost 9 years, this years MLB2k24 is FANTASTIC and I'm hooked like I used to be, kinda. I'm about 17 hours into this version but that's a lot of my gaming time the past month or 6 weeks rather. Really good game.

You're the winner!

 

My number was 63 for Michael Jordan's playoff career high. 

 

Let me know what you want!

   You mention MJ alot and I was just wondering if you ever got to see him play? I did 3 times! He's\not my favorite but he's the GOAT and experiences watching those games are things i'll\never forget! All 3 times were bulls vs. Laker games, good times! 

ONLY Street Fighter 6 in a very long time too in between. I feel I'll be in PC gaming buying true form again when I can build a NEW Gaming RIG and drop a 5090 in it. I know it'll be 1500-1800 for the card this go around but it should hold me for a LONG time. My 2080Ti is still doing quite well but it's nothing compared to todays tech!

DS1 Remake was/is a FANTASTIC remake of a Fantastic game period. I don't understand what make the remake a "Success" but I was under the impression that it did very well. They couldn't have thought it would have better sales than the original could they?

Feeling generous. I'm gunna close this in 2 days I think. Any platform. 

super nice of you thanks for doing this.....

      I just read this a few minutes ago and man did I love me some fallout 4! I would have to estimate but probably over 150 hours into the game and love most everything about it. We just started watching the TV show on prime and are 1 episode in and liked it alot! The game is so fantastic and the update is free so really it's a huge win for most everyone. If some how you have not played this game and you in anyway love open world RPG games, Just do it!

68 !! for my favorite car 68 chevelle of course!!

Deus Ex MD is awesome. It's a fucking crime we're not going to get more.

Best game on the lint IMHO. I'm sure most wont agree but it's a fantastic game . . .

IT's OFFICIAL!

  I now have the car in my Garage! Drove it around my little housing community we live in and it drew a lot of attention as it's Very loud to say the very least. We plan on taking to a show this coming weekend and I'll post some more photos for anyone who is interested. I now have "MY DREAM" Car in my possession and in my garage where it will live out most of it's live sadly. The car has 276 miles on  Monster built 454 LS6 that put's down almost 500HP shified by Hurst 4speed manual tranny. Some lust for a Lamb, or a Porsche, McClarin, etc, etc I'm an old guy that Loved the Muscle Car era dearly and has missed to badly ever since. 

   Those that own this VR Headset: Do you love it or hate it or somewhere in between? Did you own a VR Unit before this purchase?

   I have never even tried VR but have always wanted to give it a try if not outright owning a good set. This set, the PS5 VR set has been the closest I have ever been to buying one. I have very much wanted to Play HalfLife: Alex I'm pretty sure that's a title not available on the PSVR2 set.

   So is this VR set recommended of at this point a pass and wait for maybe Meta 4's set? If I do buy one I'm going to want one that ticks most all boxes and doesn't need modules set up in the corners to work. So the least wires would be great. I doubt the PSVR2 is the one for me but am really wanting to know what the overall opinions are from those that own it and maybe have for awhile?

I used the 4tb WD drive but I also updated both the Ally and my oled deck with it. The ally is actually a little easier imo. Both are pretty simple enough that even my uncoordinated ass can do it.

  Did you use an angle adapter for yours too?

    Yea it's a major upgrade and a NEEDED one IMO. The Ally was just really simple, maybe 30-40 minutes and most was just laying out all my tools and matt etc. I haven't touched the SDeck because the Micro Card slot actually works and I have much smaller games on it too. I did the Hall affect stick upgrade on the Sdeck along with the soldering and that was a bit tedious as I'm not the greatest solderer {words?} but I'm improving for sure. So the track pads work. The SD needed these sticks badly and I so wish the Ally had them and I HATE how the ROG's sticks rub on the edges while you use them. I'm not hard on any of my equipment and there pretty bad feeling.

Hope so, I'm on board day one!

    Well I finally upgraded my Ally's internal storage as I'm not wasting another second of my time with the SHITTY ASS Micro SD slot in this thing! What a FAIL in an otherwise fantastic handheld gaming console. Those interested in what I put in I'll list the parts I ordered and the Install couldn't have been easier.

Parts Needed / used

---------------------------

1. Crucial Gen4 4TB SSD

2. You'll need this 90degree M.2 drive adapter to install full-sized drive into the ALLY!

Having 4Tb in this thing feels like cheating. It's every bit as fast as the drive that was in there and if they ever release a GEN2 Ally I'll just reverse this upgrade and us the new 4TB drive in the next one placing the original tiny one back in a sell/give it away.....I Highly recommend this upgrade as the Micro SD slot will kill cards I've lost 2 512 gig samsung top of the line Micro cards in there. I was able to get them replaced through Best Buy but I'm not doing it a 3rd time!

       Man I WISH the Ally had the Steam decks screen! I love the Ally and having now finished updating the inner SSD to THIS: Crucial Gen4 4TB full sized M.2 SSD it's been fantastic. It really needs hall affect sticks and an Oled screen and get rid of the black border while their at it. There's room for another 1/2" in screen size easily. The gen 2 Ally could have so much potential. I'd sell my SD and 1st Gen Ally easily for these improvements and that's without a boost in performance. Pretty sure a new iteration would come with better CPU & GPU and perhaps a larger battery. I'm ready........

I don't like being rushed and I wouldn't want to abandon a run because I was running behind. I've only played the 2 and 3 remakes. My initial runs I got low scores cause I took my time and saved a lot. Because 3 was short I gave it another go a few months later. You're not penalized in 3 for using the rocket launcher and the splash damage doesn't hurt you so I was able to finish quickly and play again increasing difficulty each time. I stopped after finishing the second highest difficulty because it didn't seem worth the trouble to do the hardest.

Play the 1st one {Remake wise} and forgot you played the third one.....lol

I expect you to be playing on Steam deck while seated in your new car! 

     The ROG Ally gets near all my play at the moment. I'm building a NEW PC when the 5090 is released no holds barred and that will also be a pretty penny. The car isn't here yet!!!! It's coming from IOWA. This car has spent the last 7 years in a climate controlled car storage unit on a trickle charger. It's a frame of restomod and has 373 miles on it....lol I don't know if I'm going to be allowed in it. This was so way out of the NORM for ME. I mean I can spend money we all can, but 60k? When I saw this one though I had to at least try. It's always been a Dream and it's very close to my new reality. Hell It's costing me another 3k to get it here and insure it for the trip. CAN NOT WAIT, It's a 4 speed manual just the very best of the best. It's a 56 year old Brand new car. Looking at it that way makes it WAY WAY easier in my head as the new 2025 Dodge Revolution Truck that were thinking of buying late this year or next is in the upper 80's in the trim we want. That though has been put on hold for um.......a little bit LOL!!!!

    Well reading really is a dying trend, that said I read at least a book a week. I'm an avid reader and funny thing is, I ALWAYS have been. Maybe take it in smaller bits? Maybe take the second half after your nap and snack? Just making a joke, now a'days if it's not in a video your not investing anytime into anything and I understand that. It's cool though my Daughter {turned 28 today actually} reads more than I do. She's definitely not the norm these days. I love to read but even that said the above post is a walk through my life to a point in time where I make a HUGE decision after 40 years of DREAMING! Nothing more. Thanks so much for the comment, your APPRECIATED!!

It's not really a midlife crisis unless you start getting a bunch of stupid tattoos. It seems like everyone's midlife crisis is getting tattoos these days.

So.........................................

             Not the worst decision you have heard of lately? Interesting!

I got the one when I was 19 and decided to stop. Glad it wasn't  swastikas' on both shoulders like a friend of a friend did. What a loser bad decision that was. They were thick!! He thought they were the coolest thing for about 1 day....lol Mines just a guitar wrapped with a a rose vine thorns, etc. Still looks good glad I spent the money to have a good tatooer do it. Most of us were doing them ourselves, man to be dumb young and stupid.

Honest opinion as I really typed that all out to get some of the anxiety off my chest. This has been stressful actually going through with it! Think I should just delete this post? It really doesn't go here. I tend to go off the depend when texting just about anything.......I get told all the time I should write a book, shit like that. My spellings not that great but I do try and be articulate and forthcoming.....
