  1. While I enjoyed it overall, I'm not as familiar with the back story. The Turbo CD was one of the few platforms I didn't have access to growing up and when I found out Dracula X wasn't really a port of Rondo of Blood, I lost interest. The source material comes from the era of video game that didn't have the extensive story telling of modern games. So that leaves a creator plenty of room to adapt the story with some creative license. They can fill in the the missing details with their own spin while leaving the hard points of the story alone. I can see @Camacho's point. If I were knowledgeable on the lore of this era of Castlevania, I doubt I'd have the same view of Nocturne.
  2. @CESTUS IIII agree with you wholeheartedly on JP. That said, A.K.I. must be pretty strong in her own right though. F.A.N.G. had her go after Chun Li and he lost to Chun Li in ASF.
  3. Good work as always man. I appreciate your drive.
  4. Fields finally had a good game this year and they still lost. If you would have told me Fields would have had 335yds passing 4TDs and 1 INT, I would have thought Bears rolled the Broncos. I guess the Bears are the ones with the bum leg 👀
  5. It's a month after the Ngannou fight.
  6. I just look him up. I hadn't run into him yet. Not gonna like, he looks kind a cool 😂I'm going to need to do the last chapter a few more times. I didn't realize they were different characters that could show up.
  7. That's our defense in a nutshell. Del Rio is trash. He's carried by our D-line. If they don't have a great game, he's ineptitude is there for the world to see. That said, Lane Johnson constantly false starts. It's not just a this game thing. He does it in every game. In pass pro he leaves just before Kelce hikes the ball. He's not near as blatant about it has Jawaan Taylor but he does it. Side Note: Jalen Carter is a monster. That dude, if he keeps his head on straight, can be the best DT in the league. He has Aaron Donald level talent.
  8. Best of luck to Jade, She has the look and physical tools to excel. However, she's no longer going to be a big fish in a small pond. Hopefully the WWE uses her well. I'm sure all the AEW diehards will thinks she's trash and the WWE diehards that hated her will suddenly love her now. Gotta love the tribalism in our society 😒 As for Edge, how's his health holding up? I really haven't been keeping up with wrestling much as of late.
  9. I'm fine. I'm used not get any calls, Lane Johnson false starting at not getting flagged, and more importantly Jack Del Rio being complete inept as a D-Coordinator. There is a reason we get cooked by mobile QBs. We have DC that thinks man coverage with no spy is an effective strategy. There is a reason we make Daniel Jones look like Michael Vick twice a year. He also loves having his CBs pay 10 yards off the ball when the opposing offense only needs 5 or 6 yards. Okay....maybe I'm not okay 😅
  10. The only real complaint I've heard in regards to Gief's level 2 is the startup being on the slow side. That said it's versatile and good Gief players seem to get utility out of it.
  11. Damn, I was going to say this why living alone is cool....but Keef got that covered ðŸĪĢ
  12. I guess I'll have to squeeze marathoning it in between Football, Cyberpunk, everything else. I pulled myself away from BG3 long enough to get caught by Phantom Liberty. I guess maxing my affinity level to 20 with A.K.I. in SF6 is going to have to wait.
  13. I thought the TV adapter would be no good but apparently analog antennas still work.
  14. That shit is funny for multiple reasons. The most obvious is she groping the Elephant but wants it to stop groping her. Elephant is just practicing the golden rule.
  15. If they give it to me, I'll PM you. AMD does this verification check before they give the code. So I won't be able to get it until my CPU gets here and I install it.
  16. That literally was the plot to some shit I was saw on the Playboy channel at age 12. Ah the good old days. Anyone else have a cable "descrambler" back in the day? We had basic cable but we didn't have basic cable 👀
  17. Vivek fumbled the political bag. Dude was virtual unknown, had surging popularity, and decided that kissing Trumps ass while giving trash takes was the ticket to success. What a fucking goof ball. If I had to sum up Chad in one post 😂
  18. Depends on your sibling man. Outside of when were really young, my brother and I basically never fought. We always covered for each other, so we rarely ever got in trouble. I've had friends with siblings and they'd rat each other out and stay in trouble. I never understood it. It's suppose to be kids vs parents. They didn't understand the assignment at all. I still remember the combination of mad and proud on my dad's face when he'd ask us who did something and we'd both answer "I don't know." A) We were lying but, B) We were doing exactly what he told us to do. "You are brothers. You are supposed to stick together, look out for each other." I was 5 and my bro was 3 when he sat us down to tell us that. We'd be getting each other into trouble at the time and my dad wasn't having it. He'd whip us both. One for doing wrong and the other for snitching. I'm 43 the last time my brother and I fought was 38 years ago. Dads are important.....unintended rant over 😅
  19. Yes, one of the earliest lessons my dad taught my brother and I was to stick together. We used this to our advantage during Christmas time. I'd ask for a SNES and my brother would ask for a Genesis. I'd ask for Game Gear and my brother an Atari Lynx. Given that we weren't exactly rolling in money, my bro and I made out pretty well. We went from getting a 2600 when everyone was getting an NES to having most of our console bases covered. We continued the trend when were teenagers. We went half an have on JVC X'Eye (Genesis/Sega CD combo) that got marked down to $100 at Electronics Boutique. My bro got a TurboXpress for $100 on clearance too. He got a Saturn. I got an N64. When wanted a Playstation the year I got N64, I bought the Saturn off him for $100. Since game rentals were big at the time(8/16 bit era), having the console was most important. We did get a few games here and there but we thrived on rentals until we became teenagers and just started buying our own games. The only systems we never got were the Neo Geo, 3DO, and Jaguar. The first two were just too damned expensive and the latter didn't have any games out side of AvP, Tempest, and the Doom port. Edit: We had two Gameboys prior to getting the Game Gear and Lynx. He was the polar opposite of Shawn Layden. Shawn, despite being a "suit", had very pro gamer tendencies. He would use the profits from hit games to green light new IP. He actually remarked on the importance of new IPs even if they weren't big hits. Jim Ryan was just a bean counting suit. So he's taken an Don Mattrick like, let's milk our hit IPs approach that's just plain off putting. How many times are they going to remake/remaster The Last of Us. He's supposedly green a Horizon Zero Down remake. Not to mention things like upping the cost of the PS5, outside of the US, and the PSN price hikes. Then whole MS/Activison debacle with crying foul about exclusivity while locking down his own exclusives and literally paying developers to keep games off of gamepass. Sony built up significant goodwill under Layden's leadership during the PS4 era that Ryan eroded in a couple of years at the helm. TLDR: Jim Ryan is bean counting suit with no passion for games that milked the Playstation audience for their cash. Unlike Shawn Layden, who was the polar opposite.
  20. Yeah I get your annoyance with them. I saw an A.K.I video yesterday that did like 7200 damage but it took all her drive gauge and all three bars. At least when Desk makes combo videos they look interesting and show you quirks to a combo system that may not be readily apparent.
