A new one to keep tabs on

Ohhh that's another one I haven't thought of in a while that I should look for on 4k if it exists on that format--The Cell. The visuals in that movie were INSANE....like someone with quite the imagination made a movie out of some especially memorable nightmares they had. Skinfo Tidbit---the movie also features a former Power Ranger girl naked, btw... Catherine Sutherland, who was the 2nd Pink Ranger, following Amy Jo. It's only for a short time though and her character is dead but yeah...you get to see the tits. Amy Jo is also topless in a movie called The Pursuit of Happiness, not to be confused with that other "Pursuit of Happyness" that had Will Smith. Unfortunately the scene isn't that great; she's topless but it's shot at a distance.

Damn, I had to look it up just now to be sure that Cher was even still performing...and she is.... this old methuselah woman will be 77 this year and she's still out there doing shows. 😆 She was an absolute smokeshow in her younger days though...

No jail time... oh what a surprise 🤣 Surely a guy admitting to the same crime would have the same result, right? mmm I can't wait to check thru all the youtube comments on this one....I'm sure this will be good...

Yeah, for the time I loved Skyrim... it was *despite* the various technical problems. It would be a dream if another more competent game development company could produce an Elder Scrolls game....y'know, someone who could make a game I don't have to worry about crashing or freezing or whatever when I arrive or leave any random dungeon, or cave, village, etc. etc. etc. Oddly enough I had far less problems out of Elder Scrolls Online---though of course that has the problem of being an mmo though....that in itself is most unfortunate... in that case I had some fun with the game in spite of it being part of that horrible genre.

Ok yeah the Tetris example is off but a character action game with keyboard/mouse? That's weird that anyone would want to play those types of games with that. Whatever floats their boat, I guess; I have to keep reminding myself that some people just have extremely odd (or bad, imo) taste in various things. Also---so much for "pc master race!" I guess... time and time again they seem to get the shit end of the experience when a game happens to be released there *and* on consoles at about the same time. So far it's another time when I don't see people from the console side of things complaining about that game... they're presumably busy having fun with it at the moment as the pc fans are shafted and pissed off yet again.

It will never stop being weird to me that some pc gamers use mouse/keyboard to play things like a 3rd person character action game (*that game Wo Long is getting some heat about this lately, in addition to performance issues on PC)... that's straight up Twilight Zone nonsense to me, like if someone said "this is bs... my steering wheel controls won't work right with Tetris and Super Mario Maker!" ...or "man that sucks... I'm trying to play MvC2 with my NES Power Pad and it's just not working properly with the game!"

Ohhh I forgot that the Castlevania stuff was hitting Dead Cells so soon; I'll get into that asap... most likely within this week at least.... there's so much going on right now, with Hogwart's Legacy being out, this new Diablo 3 season being the best one they ever made (*not sure how some people are speeding thru getting the whole altar unlocked; some of the ingredients to unlock things are of course purely luck-based *low* drop-rate items like the Ramaladni item and the Royal Ring), and now I got Wolcen console next week... I'll have to take some time off soon *just* to get caught up and spend some quality time on all this greatness.

Whoa, I didn't think it would happen but finally, here we are....Wolcen on Playstation....and it's due out next week?!?! Oh yeahhhh you know that's bought. Also---UNLIKE most shiesty horseshit ass garbage of the modern era... this can be played offline! edit---it's coming to the Xbox systems as well. Sheeeittt, I was not expecting this... I just found out by browsing PSN store a few minutes ago. This game though...it's another case where my opinions seem to differ from the majority of the arpg fanbase. I've seen quite a few folks always taking shots at the game like it's a 2 out of 10....the game looks awesome to me....and nah I don't care that there's likely something completely OP as hell in the game, as there's always going to be some character/build/item etc. in any game that is clearly the best choice if you're in serious "try-hard" mode about the shit.

I finally got to Wishmaster 4 now... This is quite a mixed bag here... they tried something different with the formula in this one, and in some ways I appreciate some of what they were doing... but there's some dumb/questionable choices though...and some things that are downright silly---like the djinn using a tree branch at one point to fight with another guy that has a sword(?!) (**the "guy with the sword" is a manifestation of Ahura Mazda, btw... another odd thing here... ok you involve Ahura Mazda, but why is he gimped with normal human levels of running speed, strength and agility? I don't think he should be restricted *that* much by having a human form here in the world.) The main girl in this one is pretty damn hot; about even with AJ Cook in part 3, actually. This one also has a bit more eye-candy than the previous ones; right from the start you see a sex scene with that main girl and her boyfriend. There's a few other scenes where she's showing something nice too. Other girls also show skin. Overall, I enjoyed this one. The djinn is a bit more clever in parts 3 and 4... in fact he goes most of the 4th movie completely undetected... some wishes even get granted without negative results, surprisingly.

So, I checked out Wishmaster 3 just now... funny; the quality of the girls keeps going up with this series. The main girl in the first one was "ok", imo... then the girl in part 2 was a bit cuter...and now the one in part 3 was a step up from that; there was a few other hot ones in this as well, including Emmanuel Vaugier... ---I first saw that fine ass in Smallville many years ago; she's done a tone of things since...usually tv https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0891275/ The main girl this time is the lovely A.J. Cook! That was a pleasant surprise... she's a cutie from Criminal Minds.. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0176882/ ...one of my favorite legal/crime-related shows of all time, that one. Anyway---the djinn in part 3 is a bit better, imo... he actually is shown to be capable of a few superhuman things outside the context of a human's wish; in part 3 he has superhuman speed, and some degree of super strength... and he was able to regenerate and recover from nearly any kind of damage.

There was a thing on History channel the other day about other areas that are like the Bermuda Triangle--- Nevada Triangle, Michigan Triangle, etc. etc. I didn't realize there were other places like that where people and vehicles can just vanish for whatever reason....some of them never found, actually. They mentioned one wealthy guy that was a pilot that disappeared in the Nevada "Triangle", and the search was extensive...but they found wreckage of his plane about a year later....in a spot that was already searched previously. I wondered/suspected if it is indeed a time/space warping effect going on with that---like what if someone flying in such an area were to disappear in a zone like that, right now; the afternoon of 3/05/2023.... for this person they are suddenly flying around on the afternoon of March 5, 2029 though, because they hit the "warp"....they crash on that afternoon in 2029. Here in 2023, if we look at the same spot of land where this person crashed, nothing would be there...because they are gone from this moment in time. They won't show up there crashing until 6 years from now....from our perspective.... but from the perspective of the person, they are indeed crashing "now" but for them it is 2029. ...then as always with time traveling situations, this opens up the question of alternate timelines. Did the person in this example disappear from the timeline entirely then? Say that right now in 2023, we are Timeline A....this person hit the "warpzone" so to speak and now they are in Timeline B....since that is a whole different thing, perhaps that is why they are truly gone from our world, and will never be found, even 6 years later since they are not part of this timeline anymore. Maybe it's possible to even go backwards in the warp, and instead of 2029, it is "currently" 1981, Timeline B, when this person that took off in a plane from 2023 just crashed. Of course this isn't even getting into the juicy "what if..?" with it possibly being a dimensional warp, and perhaps the missing person just slipped over to a variant like "Earth 2".

hottest girl on History Channel... I still keep tabs... Amy Teitel (appears on various shows like Unexplained and Ancient Aliens)...she's also quite good at Super Mario Maker: https://www.instagram.com/p/CoDHpxZDZUt/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CoI3eWDPXjq/

If I were to go back in time, and tell the kid version of me in the past that at this point I tried and am actually enjoying veggie pizzas....my past self would laugh and tell me to get the hell out here. ...but man, I had another one today and it was awesome---it's another Target "Good & Gather" one. I only bought 2 today; I should've got more. So now I often get that and the "spinach & goat cheese" one. I have some parmesan/garlic seasoning so I always add a bit of that to them as well.

heh, I look forward to watching this one a bit later---I wanted this game sooo much back then...but could never find it, and eventually I just gave up trying to hunt it down. Reminds me... the first DBZ fighting game I got to play was that first Budokai game in the GC/PS2 era....I had the Gamecube version. It frustrated me that they had Zarbon in there but with no cape....almost like they did that specifically to annoy me and the other 20 or so Zarbon fans out there. Later I got into DBZ Supersonic Warriors on GBA which was better in terms of the gameplay at least.

Another little detail I don't get about Diablo...and it's probably the same deal with other arpgs these days... why is the simple act of item trading such a difficult thing, or made non-existent now? It just makes no sense to me...when you have so many things, or most of the good items being "Account Bound" or whatever. That seems like you're actually removing part of the incentive to play with other people. Back in the day this never seemed to be a big issue at all....you get a weapon or item drop that you don't need, or is just not relevant to your character/build----you could simply drop it for your friend if they want it. This makes no sense to have all kinds of restrictions on that shit. It's *probably* an attempt to push more full "engagement" with the game from each player, I suspect...? (*this is also the real reason I bet for why they want so badly to make everything online-only, even when a game has single-player modes. If you're playing offline, you're not "engaged" with the "service"...you're not "in the store" and naturally they don't like that.) When each one has to find their own stuff and not rely on hand-me-down gear from friends... naturally the person is more likely to put more time into the game....so yeah that's probably the ultimate goal there. Whenever there's a question about anything with how a game is designed----it seemed like the answer is there if you just think from a "greedy publisher" perspective. Basically, like older generations always told us----"follow the money". Just ask yourself "what would be the greedy reason/angle?" ...and in a few seconds you'll see what is most likely the correct answer to the question.

Heh, I knew there would be a few gems to check out in the comment section of that video about the Walmart closures. "That's really going to inconvenience a lot of people who will have to find a new place to shoplift" 😆 Random lame comic book shit--- one character I always thought was lame was Warren Worthington III, aka "Angel" from Marvel. Wasn't flight his ONLY superpower, at least in the beginning? (*I think later he was revealed to have advanced healing and some superhuman strength at least?) That's ok but it's just a rather basic bitch thing in a world of superpowered people. It's also hard to keep a low profile with those big feathery wings constantly on display. At least Apocalypse's makeover made him cool when he became the Archangel. *with that setup I'd also like to at least be able to fly superfast... like perhaps at at least on par with our fastest military aircraft.

Other than a deeper level of customization (with body, face, hair options)...there's really just one missing detail of greatness that I wish Kingdoms of Amalur had... a "transmog" customization like you see in Diablo and so many other games. The item design in the game is mostly good in terms of cool, interesting visual designs, so all they would need is a very basic system like that, and of course add a color/dye option on everything. If it had this it would for sure be a real top ranking contender for "Greatest Game of All Time" status to me. When you don't have that kind of customization....and stats are tied to clothing and armor, you have this unfortunate dilemma eventually----make your character look cool....OR wear whatever gives the best stats and build....so then the player's character has no sense of design if you care about having an "optimal" or even moderately serious, efficient/top tier character build....like imagine if they have certain clothing items and colors in the game that would allow you to design a character to look like something from your favorite anime, or maybe a ninja... or a badass wizard... or super sentai Power Ranger looking character...or a hot redhead vampire, or whatever floats your boat.... but you'd be giving up the superior stats of some other armor/clothing that in your opinion looks goofy and lame... say you could dress up your character to look like a badass demon...but the stats on the demon outfit are inferior to this goofy ass purple chicken suit over there that grants +500% to Attack Power. Transmog system allows you to have the +500% bonus of the goofy chicken suit while still having the look of the demon badass outfit if you want. You can look cool AND have the optimal stats. The transmog/customization options should really just be the standard expectation for anything with custom characters at this point. *in Kingdoms of Amalur ....basically your own crafted gear is the top tier shit... so for anyone looking to make the character as powerful and efficient as possible... your character will always look the same, wearing the top rank crafted "prismere stone" stuff and crafted weapons. Anything else is just a gimped character in comparison.

^well well... it has the legendary sexpot Grace Goddamn Byers in it so I'm automatically down for watching that movie. I was hoping she would not fade away into obscurity; I first saw her on the show Empire...later she was in that show I forgot the name of about mutants (like Xmen mutants) called "The Gifted". There is no flaw: https://www.instagram.com/ladygracebyers/ Absolute smokeshow, this one.

^that reminds me; I have the Switch version of Dragon's Dogma but haven't even started with it yet; I had fond memories of playing it on the 360 so of course I got it asap when it hit Switch....it was one of my favorite games of that 360/PS3 era. heh heh, my friend's Zangief-looking "pawn" character was so amazingly terrible I remember... I dumped that shitty character pretty fast....he was dead weight in the party; always first to die. There was so many good times with that game though. Random note---that recent Toejam & Earl game is on sale on Switch for $2.24 at the moment. On xbox/Live---Dawn of the Monsters is 20.99 right now... these days, 30% off isn't really an impressive sale anymore but I might get it for that price. I was playing "Textorcist" again a few days ago... the concept of this game, and the guts it took to produce something with such niche appeal is fascinating. Even if you type fast, the difficulty with how this plays is harsh as hell....but of course that's assuming you're playing "fair" in the first place. Theoretically, you could trivialize the whole thing by having 1 player control the character and another person to handle all the typing....or if you became good at using a controller with your feet while typing with your hands, I guess? 😆 Whatever, I love it....it's a shame that this kind of "typing gameplay" concept will always be an extreme rarity, due to the fact that there is no chance for such a thing ever having mass appeal. *It's really frustrating that D4 is online-only across the board... if it weren't this would obviously be a day 1 instant buy for me, since I've been hooked on Diablo 3 non-stop since it released 11 years ago.

Oh yeah that's the other thing with Showbiz Pizza ---I also didn't like when they had the "live performance" of Billy Bob and friends on the stage; I just kept wanting to get back to playing the games. Also...it was funny that those animatronic characters with their herky-jerky movemennts and bugged out eyes were often terrifying to some of the smaller kids. haha I just remembered that one of them was a big gorilla in a white suit, seated in the back playing the drums... I think there was a Kangaroo-looking character playing a banjo as well. ...oh there's a game most people forgot by now---there was an old arcade game simply called "Kangaroo"; you had to dodge monkeys throwing apples* while you try to get to the top of the screen to save your little kangaroo "Joey". *haha it was also on Atari 2600 so I had it on that system... since graphics weren't detailed at all back then, especially on Atari systems...it was funny to just imagine the monkeys were indeed throwing their actual shit at you.

Would you guys accept the deal if a powerful entity like Cyttorak or Galactus offered you the incredible powers that come with the deal of being their herald/champion/etc.? Malebolgia from Image would be another one though the deal of being a Hellspawn...it's good but isn't quite as good as being a herald with Power Cosmic on your side. Power Cosmic is just too good... it would be strange to me if anyone in their right mind would be foolish enough turn all that down...even though your arrival to a world is a sign that it's about to be over for them. Still... imagine you get to explore the universe all the time, and with the power cosmic you can do nearly anything. *I watched Wishmaster part 2 the other day--- yeah the djinn has a raw deal, imo... I wouldn't go for that. He has the power to do pretty much anything... but ONLY in the context of a human's wish....nah, fuck that. If I'm to have cool powers.. I'd rather not be limited in that way.

I'm just surprised she forgot to wear her bonnet while doing all that. She's in clear violation of the hoodrat dress code policy then....not looking raggedy enough.

Y'know...I only went there 2 times when I was a little kid, if memory serves correct.. and it was called "Showbiz Pizza" back then... under the name "Showbiz", the main mascot character was a bear named "Billy Bob". The main draw for me was the games....the pizza was forgettable. In later years they eventually redesigned Chuck E. and it's a better character design, imo...it looks more like a rat from a Pixar film, if I recall. ...but perhaps due to nostalgia bias, I always remember and prefer it being "Showbiz" featuring the Billy Bob mascot, with Chuck being one of the side characters. *oh yeah and the toys---I don't remember any of the toys I got with those tickets, so those were mostly forgettable too. Debbie Downer moment though----imagine the people who made this their career....and we see how far it's dropped at this point; sometimes I forget that place still exists. ...but imagine being there for years and working your way up to middle management level, maybe even "general manager" or area manager....at Chuck E. Cheese of all places.

I haven't checked out Teriana in a while...here's a recent one where she shows some cheeks:
