The Read Redemption 2 game has sold a total of 67 million copies since its release and have up to 2 million units sold in the last three months. This seems like an impressive number from the team. What do you think? Source: https://twitter.com/videotechuk_/status/1854271198823071757

True - the 2000s did have a great amount of shows such as Toonami and Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. Also shows like King of the Hill, Futurama and Family guy.

To describe this in one word, pointless. Not only has this been available on console since the launch of the PS4 and Xbox One, third party software for this purpose has been available for this purpose on PC for, if anything, even longer. This feature is actually built into the support software for graphics cards these days. I know that because I've used it. That software also has the advantage of being available to use with software not launched through Steam, so why would anybody use this? I'm not dissing the software not it's features, I'm sure it works fine, but anyone even remotely serious about recording gameplay on PC would be either using a capture card or premium third-party software and that's not likely to change.

The 2000s were brilliant too, as you had Sky One with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Pokèmon, and it was also the time I got hooked on VH1 Classic. A pre-YouTube kind of thing where you watched retro music videos amid those annoying ads, like Crazy Frog. Then I got into survival horror games and horror movies, which brought me to trying to obtain every top ten film in America since box office records began in 1922. So the journey has been both fun and rather costly.

Sega’s basketball games were really great. I think I have a couple actually, but I need to get access to my list again as my library had grown significantly since the last time I updated it.

The most suspenseful scenes vary from person to person. That’s because the most suspenseful scenes are the ones that play on your fears and phobias. For example someone who is claustrophobic would have a hell of a hard time watching The Descent. People afraid of the water would have an extremely difficult time watching Titanic or The Meg. People afraid of heights will have a hard time watching whatever movie gets made about 9/11.

Blinding Lights by The Weekend was copying the 80s Synthwave music. There's also "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson copying 70s Funk and Soul.

For me it was this:

For me, it was between the 80s and 90s because that's when most of the iconic modern sitcoms came out. Not to mention Cartoon Network, Boomerang and Nickelodeon.

The 90's, for sure. ITV was actually compelling entertainment back then. 🥲

Yes. 😋 That's an honest way to make a living. 🤑 https://youtu.be/8toBVYDKukU?feature=shared

"APT" by Bruno Mars is basically copying other songs of the era. Although I do recall Juice Newton copying a song by the band called Bread. So this kind of thing is commonplace in the industry. 😁 https://youtube.com/shorts/LGwl6mHIn6U?feature=shared

That old lady in RE7 where her head follows your direction everywhere. That's seriously messed up

I haven't really played enough games that I could think of decent rivalries I was a fan of, but I do enjoy these: 1. Scorpion and Sub-Zero (Mortal Kombat). I grew up on the '90s Mortal Kombat film and didn't really get to experience the MK games, but if I'm forced to choose a rivalry I remotely like, this is the closest one I could think of that stands out. I've seen Mortal Kombat: Legacy, and I really enjoyed the backstory behind these two's rivalry, how the tragic misunderstanding led to this eternal blood feud. 2. Master Chief and The Arbiter (Halo). Grew up on the Halo trilogy on the XBox. It was a pretty entertaining rivalry where two individuals from two species trying to kill each other became a buddy-cop kind of duo. The backstory behind the Arbiter and how that led him to team up with the MC just goes to show how rich the Halo universe can be. I kinda hope he would show up again in the later games, not that I would know since I haven't played them. 3. Kasumi and Ayane (Dead or Alive 3). DoA3 was one of my first games when I bought the XBox, specifically because I got to play it all day (while playing hooky) when it's on display at a major bookstore in Singapore. This was the Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat of my generation, so I got to know the characters' backstories pretty well, and Kasumi and Ayane's blood feud just felt so interesting, how Ayane for bound by code to kill Kasumi because the latter's a runaway shinobi. It was the first time I got to know about ninjas and their code, so it was a fascinating experience for me. 4. Red and Blue (Pokémon Red and Blue). This one isn't really appealing for me because of the rivalry and more so because of the ability to show how much Blue sucks when he loses against you at the end and got called a terrible trainer by Professor Oak. Smell ya later indeed, Blue-sor. lol The rivalry portrayed in Pokémon: Origins though doesn't appeal to me as much because I found Red to be insufferable and hypocritical. I just never really liked Red over Ash because at least Ash loved his Pokémon; Red came off like a typical Pokémon gamer who treats his Pokémon like tools (which gamers are justified in doing so, but it's hypocritical for Red to call out Blue on this when he's no better). That's all I've got. lol
