Reality vs Adventure

They've made the Classic NES Edition a few years back in 2016 that has a number of games. Same look and everything but smaller. I got one when they first came out. I think that is what they will do with other older consoles; just make a modern model of it with a list of games, instead of making a disc for it to play on the ps5 and Xbox ABC. It had limited availability so I guess it is a collectible instead. I've played mine though, but I also still have the old original console with some games too. Now there is the Mini NES Anniversary Edition with 620 games built in, but I don't know who made that one. I'm not sure what effect that is having on the classic market. I don't even think many people know about it. So I don't think they would put it on multiple platforms when it's already here as the Classic NES Edition and the Mini Anniversary Edition. So that's probably what they will do for Sega and other classic Nintendo consoles. If they were to remake those games altogether, then they would be on the new systems. Also, I have a Sega Collection game disc for the ps2 with a number of games on it. All they have to do is remaster that game and viola, classic Sega on the ps5.

Got that right; there is a game for everyone.

Only game I played from that list is Age of Empires. It was fun back in the day. If they came out with a new one I'd probably get it. Pokeman Go is another that I have no intention to be caught dead playing. What is Fornite anyway? Is it a dancing game or shooting game? Oh don't answer cause I don't care.

Imagine as game studios get more involved with social platforms we will have to subscribe to them just to get those exclusive games. Just like today we have different places to watch shows that you have to pay a subscription for only those shows, then pay somewhere else to watch other shows and so on; just like Netflix and Amazon. I miss out on a bunch of shows because I don't have those other subscriptions. So facebook/Oculus will probably have their own games and subscription. Amazon, Google, and so on and so on. I hope it doesn't get to that.

Black Flag Can someone give me a hand with this loot? I'm the mf captain!

I think that would be a fun package! Black Flag itself is a fairly big game.

I was just watching youtube videos of it last night! To me it does look cool. I've never played it but does seem to have a lot in common with Black Flag as you get a ship, but different setting. I think you should go by the environment or culture you want to play in. Syndicate may not have great reviews, but the London environment looks cool to me. Even though the newer Valhalla I think has has that environment too. I love Italy and AC2 takes place in Italian cities. Since you got AC3 that might be a good place to start. I'm trying to decide whether to get AC3 for $6 on ps3 or for $20 on ps4. I saw comparisons and the ps4 version does look better.

If we hold their leaders accountable for spreading threatening conspiracy, inciting violence, racist rhetoric, police abuse, etc. then may have no choice but to cut back on the hate. The FBI a couple years ago made it illegal to promote conspiracies that can bring violence. Where has that law ever been followed??? There are congressman being investigated for their involvement in the capital attack. I demand a thorough investigation and justice, not an appeal to resign like we see over and over from cops to politicians. Same goes for their media too. Free speech ends when you use a Russian born conspiracy, spread it on the news like Pizzagate, and incite a terrorist shooting. Free speech ends when you try to overthrow democracy and denounce an election after the supreme court has repeatedly rejected false claims without evidence. Republicans will stay on this path and try another coup, probably for the remainder of their existence until they reach a full blown dictatorship. We seriously need to pass laws where a president can't pardon so many people or even himself; president can't hire and fire so many government positions; have no part in who becomes attorney general; need to reveal all taxes; have no conflicts of interest; those are just some I can think off the top of my head that needs to be changed right away. And no more life terms in office. Everything needs to be voted in by the people every few years. If there is one thing the trump administration has showed us is all the flaws in our democracy. Even though democracy prevailed, we can't let those parasites continue to eat away at it. 3 days till freedom from this fascist insurrection

At least he takes responsibility and says not to blame the team. I'm not planning on playing my game till they have a couple more updates. Seriously, what would people do without internet to update this mess? I recently was without internet for a year cause some huge trees that got overgrown were blocking any satellite reception. So they should think about old Joe in a shack with no internet and a buggy game rushed to release. Maybe this is a sign of Covid interfering with business. But as mentioned before, this game had plenty of time from when it was first announced. So there isn't any excuse. It was obvious that it was released as the ps5 was released and being around a holiday. It's obvious Franky boy!

That's cool! A lot of people really like those past series 1-3 and the Ezio protagonist in AC2, Brotherhood, and Revelations. AC3, AC2, and Brotherhood usually rank pretty high in the series. While I absolutely love everything from Black Flag on up, I am currently enjoying Brotherhood and really want to try AC3. But I want the remastered on ps4. I think the original players of the series drew a line from those past games up to Black Flag (AC4) and everything else after. Black Flag I guess was the middle ground between past and present players. I imagine AC3 would be a kick ass place to start the series, as you would still have the classic feel. I'm really itching to get AC3 soon.

There is no one thing that could help the republican party except to split and form a new one. And in that new party they need to condemn racism first and foremost. But of course they would just lie and say they condemn it. I mean prove it through policy proposals, changing their gerrymandering lines, and putting up diverse people as their electorates. Then reform the police with diversity in their neighborhoods throughout republican strongholds. They would need to stop attacking and suppressing voting rights. They should consider banning the electoral college. They need to condemn confederacy in every way. To continue along as a republican party at this point is the prelude to a civil war. Plain and simple. And that is exactly what they want so they will never split. The party is a complete lost cause infiltrated by terrorists, sympathizers, russian sympathizers, nazis, klan, confederates, QANON, boogaloo, and the philosophy of fascism. Republicans that actually still care about this country now have a reckoning to go independent, become democrat, or as stated start a new one.

When you have gaming mixed with social media like facebook, the game itself in multiplayer mode is an actual social gathering. You stand right in front of each other and see each other move; you talk too each other right inside the game environment. You network from there. That is where that facebook oculus combo is taking us. My sister has one. She is having a good time and meeting people in the game. Inside the actual gaming environment. You move around as an avatar, not your real face. In a way it's pretty cool; in another way it gets exploited just as I mentioned. Just a matter of time. And as the in game networking experience gets more advanced, you will be able to see each other's real faces and real bodies all gathered together having fun shooting monsters, or holding hands in a park on a mountain top with a friend, girlfriend, new somebody you just met. It could be a dating gaming network in a paradise setting; that is exactly the direction it is going. But where there is good intention, there is also bad intention. And it definitely will get taken advantage of by evil people. And games will get caught in the crossfire when social media looks to blame or is blamed for some bad situation. So I say it is cool, but will get exploited, which will be uncool. But yeah, I'm just rambling about nonsense, until it makes sense. Did it make any sense? Or is it still nonsense?

Man if only stop means go and go means stop then what is good is bad and bad is good. If words had meaning, lines have little. Connect the dots and you find what you are looking for.

It’s already becoming a medium for communication now that Facebook and Oculus are a package deal. Just don’t cry when the gaming world gets exploited. We have yet to see the boom in the gaming industry. I believe it will eventually be integrated in everyone’s lives in some way in the near future. When that time comes, we will need serious restrictions for the content available to kids. Because it will get more adult rated as the target audience expands. And as social media becomes integrated, predators will be there just like in internet and social media. Terrorists will be there. Hate will be there. XXX will be there. There is a lot of potentially good use for games, along with the bad. But it’s inevitable. Laws will be passed as the gaming industry gets big like social media. Gaming industry will hold more responsibility. Government may get mixed up in it at times. So just as we now have witnessed social media as the front lines of political blame, same will happen with games as it continues to get mixed up in social platforms.

How in the world did he get a whole clan of lions and leopards?

I'm not this good yet, but my day will come. I don't have that Underworld gear except for the hammer and boots.

Many of us clearly saw what exactly trump was in the debates running up to the 2016 election. I even went to jail on the night of a republican debate as I got pissed and called him racist and got arrested for public intoxication around a bunch of white newly born fascists. But that anger should never have arisen in me in the first place knowing a full blown racist jerk was leading a political party potentially to grab a seat at the WH. Americans were delusional of a big business man. NY could have told us what a crook he was. And then Comey played politics with Hillary's emails and the fallout from racist America from having a black president before it. America got duped big time. In 2020 we had a very clear choice between the devil's puppet and an experienced politician and I'm glad Americans got it right. And even though I do wish Biden was younger, he does know what America needs in this moment. But he does need to realize his plea for peace and hold republicans accountable for their actions can't go hand in hand. He needs to let America know that we will always uphold the law and punish any who break their oaths no matter if it stirs division. Those traitors are a lost cause. There is no going back for them as they will hate no matter what. So just do what is right. Republicans are now complaining they are afraid of death threats from the trump supporters. Welcome to the freakin club! And grow a freakin spine! Honor your freakin oath!!! 5 days till freedom from the great republican coup

China would be a great setting for the series. It is a huge country and it has really beautiful landscapes. The culture is intriguing and very ancient. Don't know how far back they would want to go. I can already imagine cool gear and villages spread out in all terrain. And the wildlife, I wonder what animals you would be able to tame. I know there is AC Chronicles China, but I think it is a smaller game and not that popular. Since Ghost of Tsushima came out which has the Japanese setting, then China would most likely be a better bet for AC. But I'm all for a Japanese samurai AC too! I think the game is better to play alone so you can explore and immerse.

Kanye belongs in a psyche ward. At least we have a Black/Indian vice president elect right? And Biden is actually making his administration the most diverse in USA history. I think the problem of our government officials, especially trump and Biden is age. The best diverse thing we can do in government right now is just get younger people. The old folks tend to be white, from the baby boomer population, who are a bit out of touch with America today.

American Gods-Episode A Winter's Tale I really like this song LYRICS Raven fly on a river Rapids raging in her chest See her body flying over With a song of wild unrest River roll on a mountain Wash your face in the sea Tell the sirens I'm a comin I'm a comin' and they'll see Siren sing us a love song Something old that'll put at ease All these bones and all their trembling All these bones and what they keep Raven cry on the river River roll to the sea Siren sing me a lullaby Lay my trembling bones to sleep Raven cry on the river River roll to the sea Tell the sirens I'm a comin I'm a comin' and they'll see I'm a comin' and they'll see

I watched the very first season of this series and missed the second. The third series just started and gonna watch it tonight. Got it recorded. But I am actually more curious about the books. Has anyone read the books? How is it? Do you recommend the read? I think the story itself is great, but from what I remember in the first series it confused me. I think something like this would be expressed well through a book.

I have felt that way in the Assassin’s Creed games. When I get overwhelmed by a bunch of soldiers, and not just take the hits and fight them off right then and there, but to utilize every skill I know how and fight my way out; hack/slash; escape for a few seconds and hide in a bush; creep up to one and assassinate them; then a running charge at another from behind and assassinate; climb up a wall and jump from rooftops shooting arrows and land onto another to assassinate; then brawl some more and smash brains all over the ground after I switch my weapon to use a freakin sledgehammer. Bash some more; slice with a sword; set em on fire. It’s when many surround you everywhere and you have to run, climb, fight, hide, shoot arrows, think fast or die. Then if a bounty hunter was trailing you and they join the fray, or you got three or more bounty hunters all gathered at the same time, my soul get’s taken to a time when my ancestors fought with iron and bone and I no longer exist on this plane of existence. I live a past memory, as in AC, and unleash the fury of an ancient warrior fighting to protect their land. With strength of my own will, speed of my own making, and awareness of my own refusal to surrender; till my last breath; till my body still holds blood; till my muscles still can contract; I will hold your dying spirit here as long as your blood wets my skin. I will swing with fist once my hatchet breaks; I will kick and head bunt till my skull cracks. I can smell the metal mist in the air from exploding blood. The memory of pain is gone and I can’t feel anything except for the watery hot blood splayed across my face and chest. My blood soaked weapon I yanked from a caved face won’t slip this death grip. The iron broke before my grip did. Now I stab with its jagged broken edges and slap flesh with metal. I scream and can feel the veins pulsating on the surface of my head. I don’t need weapons anymore. It’s my fist against your shield. You can’t be protected against this special attack. This is what I was born for. This is an honor to die for. Now I find myself back in Abstergo in present day. WTF happened? Oh Kassandra; you did it again didn’t you?

Parler was dropped from Amazon. I'm referring to the sites they are now currently using after they have been dropped from all the platforms. So yeah, many have fallen underground just like ISIS. Trump threatened to destroy Iran's heritage sites, which is against international law. And that was when republicans were claiming you can't destroy history or you will repeat it, which was when protestors were destroying confederate monuments across the country. Another hypocrisy by the fascist republicans. And as far as China, we have a failed trade war and we have wasted multiple bailouts for farmers. They are literally surviving off of the government which is socialism. But socialism is ok if you are the one getting aid right? That's what they believe anyways. We can debate economic issues between the two parties, but the last republican president we had this country fell into the great recession; the worse economic crisis since the great depression. And now with trump, he botched a pandemic response which screwed the economy along with the trade war. This economic fallout is always at the hands of republicans. Biden has to clean up the mess like Obama did. And yes, it's gonna get worse. I have no doubts. And when it does, it will be due to this failed pandemic response. But we have to go through it just like a bad divorce when you lose everything. But we cannot get the economy back unless we get the pandemic under control. And republicans have repeatedly shown that they are against trying to help the pandemic crisis.

Now there is investigation about republican congressmen giving tours to groups of people in the capital bldg the day before the attack. The capital didn't allow tours since the beginning of 2020 because of Covid, so that would mean they gave reconnaissance to those groups to scope out the bldg if found to be true. Now trump has a historical second impeachment and republicans are back to bickering. If they don't have a spine now, they absolutely never will. And if trump was kicked out in the first impeachment, all this never would have happened. All due to republican failure to uphold the constitution and break their oaths. Because of the social media ban, these people are now using encrypted sites just like ISIS does. So in this country, imagine ISIS with freedom to gather, protest, and to have freedom of speech. Trumps supporters confuse those rights that it should protect their sedition, treason, and racist violent rhetoric. 6 days to freedom from the failed republican fascist state and coup.

Maybe try a new game or play one you haven't played in a long while. Something I've been thinking about doing is have a day of the week for certain games. Like Friday horror, Tuesday binge a series. That's what I did yesterday, nothing but Assassin's Creed games. Was fun too comparing them and adventuring in different atmospheres. Play a little, then put in another so you don't spend too much time on one in the series. I wouldn't mind having a classic game day in the week and play nothing but old stuff. I just might do that.
