  1. That shirt dropped in January. That logic makes no sense man. Wrestling fans are just as bad as Democrats and Republicans. Tribalism at it's finest. The CM Punk/Tony Khan situation is something to actually talk about. That's a real story with a lot of meat on the bone. Yet people are talking about 3 month old Samoa Joe T-Shirt as a rip off something The Rock said 2 months after Joe's shirt released. Samoa Joe wasn't even the first AEW wrestler with a Final Boss T-shirt. It's just stupid. Miro had the shirt 3 years ago. Like why is this even a thing at all?
  2. The Saturn is a perfect encapsulation of Sega as a company. It symbolizes it's mismanagenent perfectly as well as highlights the talent of it's development teams to make quality software in sprite of it. Sega was one of the pioneers of 3D gaming. Despite having numerous 3D arcade hits. They didn't build the Saturn with 3D in mind at all initially. It was only when they got wind of the PS1 did they altered course. It's why the Saturn is so complicated of an architecture. 2 CPUs, 1 Co-Processor, 2 GPUs, 2 Sound Chips, and another chip just for the CD-ROM. If Sega of Japan had just swallowed their undeserved pride and listened to Sega of America more specifically Tom Kalinske, they'd probably still be in the hardware business....but that's whole other post in and of itself.
  3. My go to memory involving the console version of X-Men vs Street Fighter was when I pulled out my Saturn the first day of college in 98' and my dormmate started talking shit about it. I said nothing. I pulled out my two arcade sticks. His friends thought that was cool. I popped in my copy of X-Men Vs. Street Fighter. Dormmate: "You can tag in that version? Can I play man?" Darc Requiem: "Nah man, Saturn's trash. Playstation better. Why don't you play the Playstaton version?" Darc Requiem: turns to his friends "Any of you wanna play?" I eventually let him play but after letting all of his friends play first. I'll always remember that though. The look his face was priceless. 🤣
  4. I don't play super close attention to wrestling but this shirt isn't new. It's been out for months. I didn't even get why this was thing at first. I guess Rock said "Final Boss" recently and people think it's a rip off of that. This whole thing comes off as wrestling fans looking for shit to bitch about. "Final Boss" is generic. I know Miro had "Final Boss" shirt in AEW years ago. Now if someone is using something specific like "The Excellence of Execution" then by all means give em' hell. There is always wild shit going in Pro Wrestling no need to invent shit to get mad about.
  5. Wait, so you are telling me that if play Hell Divers 2, I can finally find out how to use the three sea shells?
  6. Not really the PS1 hardware was built around 3D rendering and it had less RAM than the Saturn by default. That gap only widened with the RAM cart.
  7. Yeah I played DD1. I didn't finish it though. I played it for like 12 hours. I rebought it on PC a while ago and never picked it back up.
  8. I only have about an hour into it. Seems solid thus far. I really like the character creator. Too bad you can only have one character.
  9. @iStu X: "Man I really can't wait to finish this game. I've been fighting this boss forever." Stu's cat:
  10. Man what the heck is this? How does anyone fail with this grading scale? For reference, this was the grading scale when I was in school. A = 94-100 B = 87-93 C = 79-86 D = 70-78 F = 69 & Below Kids getting a B with a 64 and I would have gotten F.....what the actual fuck.
  11. Ugh....sounds like a redux of what happened to Star Ocean. The remasters have been good but unfortunately the same can't be said for the new entries into the series.
  12. Hey man, don't disrespect cats like that 🙃 Edit: @AriesWarlockI think we all know where Lizzo went after she quit social media 👀
  13. Oh those lovable Brits. Can't imagine why the top character is British and created originally by a British development studio. It is pure complete coincedence I assure you. 🤣
  14. Damn Israel already threw a few soldiers under the bus for their "accidental" killing of the WCK aid workers. All it took was actual threats of consequence from Western allies for this to happen. 34,000 dead Palestinian civlilans? Crickets. 6* Dead Foreign Aid workers from NATO allies? Actual threats of policy change and threats of aid with conditions. Once again proving it's not how many you kill but who you kill. That said, I have NEVER seen the disparity be this high. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-middle-east-68738452?src_origin=BBCS_BBC *7 people were killed does anyone actually believe Israel cares about a dead Palestinian?
  15. Bruh this video title, which technically is true, is hilarious. 😂
  16. https://twitter.com/kukuruyo/status/1775880361953599508 I couldn't get the link to work at first. While I can't get the embed to work, I think this link will work better. Edit: Okay this is weird. Man, it's like the either link doesn't work. I think you have to be logged in to Twitter/X to see it.
  17. Terrible that his happened to him, but all the respect in the world for speaking up about it. Dudes have no real place to go when they are victims of this type of thing. https://www.nbcnews.com/pop-culture/pop-culture-news/reacher-star-alan-ritchson-reveals-suicide-attempt-says-was-saved-visi-rcna146418
  18. Get the UMvC3 mod scene on it. They can just go full Thanos do it themselves.
  19. @RSG3I'm gonna keep it 100 with you. I find your stance on this to be completely ridiculous. So much so that I see no point in engaging you this. Your interview stance is just patently absurd. Everyone should just drop press releases with FAQs.
  20. The onus is on the interviewer to ask the questions. Not the interviewee. Moreover, it's typically frowned upon when a interview full of pre-approved questions. If I'm interviewing you and you have to feed me the questions to ask you, then I need to be replaced. Someone that can do the job needs to conduct the interview. You don't get why gamers should excpect professional news outlets to do their jobs. These outlets should be held to higher standard than some random chud on Twitter/X. I don't care for any of these sites but they set the overall narrative around our hobby. We can look at the discourse around Stellar Blade as example of that. This was the case for the Hogwart's Legacy nonsense and frankly can be traced all the way back to ME3 ending drama. In additional to not going their sites or viewing their Youtube videos. We call them on their bullshit and it's clearly working because more and more of them are going under.
  21. Which is why I think it's worse now. Kids arguing over it is one thing. Adults though.....some of these Sony and Xbox centric Youtube videos I have had the misfortune to run across make me shake my head man.
  22. Okay now this Bayonetta worthy comparsion. They "gaming press" was attacking Bayonetta's character design. Disparaging men over it and Bayonetta's character designer, Mari Shimazaki, is a woman. They never learn. Basic research is something journalist's should do but we are talking about gaming "journalists" here. The fact that here we are a decade plus on and they haven't learned a damn thing...
  23. So when are we getting a 2D X-men beat em up in the vain of episode 4 of X-Men 97? I need a 6 player X-Men arcade machine and 5 Megashockers to join me. Last person on gets stuck with Dazzler.
