And here is where it's been as low as $31.

 

 

Any other sales for this game? QVC is sold out. 

I finished Spider-Man 2. Fantastic game. People who passed over fugly MJ are missing out. 

Looks like video game adaptions will be the new cashcow for Hollywood

I've watched more of Nocturne and I'm liking it more now. Maria is still annoying but that's on brand and Annette isn't as bad as I expected, although her giving Richter shit for running (which itself seemed a little out of character imo) was kind of a wtf moment. Still, better show than I expected and I'm happy about that.

 

I do think they miscast Olrox though. Zahn McLanon or whatever his name is just doesn't do it for me, and I don't know exactly what he's going for with the voice he's using for for the character.

I didn't like Annette giving Ricther shit considering not keeping her trauma under control is what got the opera guy killed.

Oh no... so there's MJ stealth missions in the mix in this new one??  I didn't play the previous Spiderman games so this is news to me.  Ehhhh that automatically sounds like some bullshit to me... I'm guessing they are not optional like a sidequest?  Well, whenever I get there, hopefully it's over and done with as fast as possible so the game can get back to being awesome.

 

MJ missions in the first game were lightning quick. The stealth mission in the second game is twice the length. It doesn't overstay its welcome.

She wasn't that in their first Spiderman game either so I don't expect it here and again it's the contrast, people acting like she's hideous when she looks like a normal woman.  This is like years later into their lives, she's not modeling anymore, she was a journalist in the last game. She's not living the super model life regimine anymore. 

 

It's the severity if the response I find immature and kind of pathetic. It's not people saying she isn't a super model it's people I see saying she's ugly. Lol no she isn't. 

 

Edit: Lmao the Trophy for doing 10 Marks in FF16 is "Think, Mark!"

MJ was never a model in the insomniac games. It never comes up. Their take on MJ is uninspired and wasn't worth what they took away.

She looks fine. Reminds me of Horizon Forbidden West where Aloy gains a little weight in the face and people act like she's the crypt keeper. 

 

There's more to it than that. MJ is supposed to be this super model hot girl that's light years out of Peter's league. Even when the Raimi films made her a girl next door she still felt unattainable for Peter. I don't get that at all from insomniacs MJ.

Not sure why this is being called out. Self inserts have been in gaming in one way or another since gaming began. Even pen and paper and even tcg’s. 

Self inserts have no business being establish characters. MJ has been around for decades before that writer walked this earth.

I decided to buy a new motherboard for my Intel Arc build. The existing one works fine but the onboard Wifi and LAN failed on it last year. I have LAN and Wifi cards, so it's not impeding functionality That said, I'd rather just replace the board now. At some point the prices of 500 series boards are going to increase, so I'll just take care of it now.

 

Minor update on all my systems.

• Arc A770 16GB - Drivers are have been stable for Arc. Outside of Star Citizen, which I barely play, running poorly. I have had no issues. Even with Starfield which is supposed to run poorly on Arc. 
• Radeon 7900XTX - Zero issues. I typically don't use Raytracing but even in CP2077. I get well around 74fps with RT Ultra. So I leave it on. I don't really play a lot of online competitive titles, so I didn't update to the latest driver that removes Anti Lag+. Just make sure it's off in SF6. WTF AMD, you didn't think to run the implementation buy developers when it messes with DLL files. 😑
• Geforce 4080 (laptop) - No issues with the current driver (545.84). CP2077, BG3, SF6 all run without issue. Previous driver(537.58) was a shit show. Caused my laptop to lock up and required me to do a hard rest. Which is nuts because the driver before it (537.42) was faultless as well. Aggravated me to no end because I thought I may have another faulty laptop.

What's the form factor of the new MB? You get sub $100 on a few mATX.

I have 2TB. I didn't even know PS5 had expanded storage until the day I put that in for Amazon.

 

I hate that they released the PS5 with under a terabyte. So dumb, but I guess that's Sony. I expanded storage for the PS3 and PS4 too.

I bought a 2TB NVME and external SSD when I got my PS5. I think an external is a must for people that still play PS4 games on the 5.

He's just more into Roblox now and playing on his iPad but this will give us a full game to play together like we've done with all of the Mario Switch games.

My nephew is the same. He stopped playing other games once he got into Roblox. New entries of old favorites doesn't lure him back.

I haven't read all the interviews yet but apparently Nintendo actually had planned for Wonder to have Live Commentary throughout the game.  You would have had a choice of normal voice and a Tsundere commentary.  This was scrapped and the idea lived on through the flowers.

Would Daisy be the Tsundere in the context of Mario?

I'll be interested to hear what J says.  So far overall consensus seems to be that the game is good/decent but certain things hold it back from greatness.  There was some discourse regarding IGN's review (yeah...I know..AGAIN!?)  where despite giving the game a decent score everyone homed in on one part of the review where the reviewer pretty much ran smack dab into what makes the classic 2D titles what they are and completely missed it.  I won't be able to pick the game up likely until Friday so I gotta wait

Decent but unremarkable is what I'm seeing too. Personally I wish there were fresher stage motifs for this game and the stage gimmicks look underwhelming.

Jun using the synth sounds of Sonic 4 is a big miss. I'm not a fan of that sound and disappointment it came back here. What I heard has not impressed me. I'm hoping Tee Lopes contributions are better.

guess the days of slower-paced, footsie-oriented fighting games are gone for good

According to every review of 14th "gen" Intel CPU I've seen is that it is a reskin of 13th. Just when Intel was getting back on track they pull this shit

The only other character with that many weaknesses who is still considered really strong is Marisa and that's because she hits like a brick shithouse.

There's more to it than that. Marisa can get armor for free, she is difficult to whiff punish and she more plus moves on block than most other characters. Her high placement is largely to having access to things other characters can't.

MJF and AEW should've known better than to do that quarter bit at a time like this. I get that its Juice Robinsons thing to hit ppl with a role of quarters but he should NOT be doing that right now, or atleast not while he's in a feud with a Jewish wrestler, save it for after this feud

 

The optics are really bad on this one

I think people are stretching this too much. The quarters is a thing that is personal to max. It has nothing to do with the war of Israel.
