General Gaming 9 Hated Videogames That Deserve A Second Chance.
GameDadGrant replied to skillzdadirecta's topic in The Spawn Point
Was waiting for Castlevania 64. I leave disappointed. Wait, I thought people liked Splinter Cell: Blacklist? -

I think regular-sized people would want it, too. -
General Gaming What is your favorite video game ability of all time?
GameDadGrant replied to Chris-'s topic in The Spawn Point
1.) Wall running. Not sure what game pioneered it, but it was one of my most favorite things to do in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. 2.) Parry. I don’t care what fighting game we’re talking about, but any game that allows you to simply just...NOT take damage from your opponent and then punish immediately after? SO SATISFYING. 3.) Shell-surfing. Pretty sure you could only do this in Super Mario 64...it was such a dumb, do-nothing feature (that oddly Nintendo did not capitalize on by requiring it for an objective for anything) but I loved being able to knock a Koopa Troopa out of its shell and then take said shell out for a joy ride. -
No Switch version? Oh these guys can kiss the fattest part of my ass.

General Gaming Sega Saturn is 25 Years Old!
GameDadGrant replied to Keyser_Soze's topic in The Spawn Point
I had a Saturn back in the day. Had Tomb Raider, NiGHTS, and I think Resident Evil? Can’t remember if I bought that or borrowed from a buddy. Later I imported X-MEN vs. Street Fighter (awesome!) and Castlevania: Nocturne in the Moonlight (mmmyyeeehhh?). Good times. Another buddy imported Street Fighter Zero 3 and Metal Slug. Now THAT is some fantastic 2D action done right. -
General Gaming What is your 'Oh yeah, I played that!' game?
GameDadGrant replied to Chris-'s topic in The Spawn Point
Thankfully that studio got better at developing games. I'll try to think of something that's forgettable, but...that's the thing. How can I remember a game I have forgotten? -
Sony 20 years ago today, the Sony PS2 released in Japan
GameDadGrant replied to SaysWho?'s topic in The Spawn Point
Yup! And if the PS5 releases this year, I’ll be 40 when that comes out. Too bad the PS3 came out in 2006. It would have been “in sync” with a new PlayStation console every five years for me (15 years old, 20 years old, 25 years old - until PS4, which got pushed back due to the unusually lengthy last generation). Maybe we can substitute in Sony’s first handheld, the PSP, as the Playstation that came out when I was 25. [/end_self_indulgent_post] -

Well, I played the OG Playstation in high school! But yeah I was in college when PS2 dropped. I am old, but I’m not *that* old! -

PS2 is 20 years old...when it came out, I was 20 years old myself. For some reason, that hurts. -
So as the title says. I'm looking for a good repeater for my home Wi-Fi. What I have works "OK" but I find when I'm in my basement the connection is a little funky. Not a big deal with my Switch, by my PS4 is permanently in my basement and not having a good connection down there...well, it ain't no good. Suggestions? Is the Google repeater a decent option? Also, any suggestions for a quality home printer? I buy a lot of retro games from the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era and a lot of those games don't come with original artwork. So I typically print the case art online and put them in the DVD cases, but the printer I have is YEARS old and I think I need an upgrade to something more high-quality. Any suggestions for that is helpful as well. Thank you in advance!
