The Blackangel

It’s been determined that technology is moving so fast that computers and computer parts are obsolete six months before they hit the market.

Is it possible to build a new gaming PC out of an older regular PC and still keep some of the components in order to save money? I have several computers that are fairly old, and I’m wondering if they could offer a head start on the build. A google search didn’t turn up a damn thing answering my question. If this was the Windows 98 era I wouldn’t have to ask. But I haven’t done jack with computers since then except for normal use. You guys are a hell of a lot more educated on this than I am. So I wanted to get it straight from the horse’s mouth.

Here’s a post about it that I made back in February. Pneumata Post

I can’t say that I have, but I also can’t say that I’m surprised that those games exist.

I’m not selling a damn thing unless the money offered is obscenely high. I’m talking no less than 7 digits. I have some games that I love, but are next to impossible to find. But no one is really looking for them either. So there aren’t a high number of authentic copies.

2024 has been the year of the remake. For this competition it was kinda to be expected.

I myself don’t play many first person games, but that’s not to say that I never play any. Hexen has been a long time favorite of mine. If you’re not familiar with it, it’s Doom, but medieval/fantasy style. Other games that have the option of first or third, I have to play it third. I just can’t really see anything in first person, which is why I don’t play a lot of them. However I did recently pick a new one up. I preordered Pneumata. It’s a first person game, and honestly, IT’S FREAKING AWESOME! I’ve heard some say it’s Layers Of Fear meets TLOU. I have no idea since I can’t play TLOU, but so far I’ve come across nothing that would be a trigger. I’m starting to warm up to first person. It seems the market is really warming up to it too. The only thing that prevents me from really diving in is the ability to see my surroundings. If it wasn’t for that, I’d probably have a lot more first person games in my library. If you’re wondering about how @Rain Dew feels about first person, she can’t and won’t play them. She played a dinosaur game (probably JP. I’d have to ask) that was first person when she was a kid that gave her nightmares. She often got attacked by velociraptors from behind and it absolutely terrified her. So now, and rightly so, she will have nothing to do with first person. I would say my favorite first person game is Layers Of Fear: Legacy. I would love to know what your favorite is and why as well.

Both PS5’s are fully capable of getting your games digitally. But the disc version gives you a more expansive range of games. Yes it is on average $100 more expensive on store shelves. I bought mine straight from playstation.com and it was only $500 and came with Horizon Forbidden West pre installed. I wanted to get a PS5 with GoW, but they were sold out when I got in the queue. However, from what I understand, HFW is an amazing game. I’ve just never gotten around to actually playing it. So I don’t know yet. If I’m not playing RDR2, I’m typically playing something in the Dark Pictures Anthology. So I just haven’t played it yet.

I only saw a handful of games that I was actually familiar with, so I can’t really make an objective pic when I have no basis for comparison. But the list looked good from my ignorant perspective.

You’re absolutely right. But for the wrong reasons. And you’re wrong, but for the right reasons. The reason is because (as you stated) the rating system is in place so people know what age range it can be appropriate for. But there are games, mostly pretty obscure, that defy the ratings system. I’ll go back to Hatred for this. There is no actual rating for the game. Mostly because not a lot of people know it exists, and those that do are just gamers who enjoy extreme brutality. The rating association doesn’t rate games that are that obscure. Then, there are games made for pure shock value and to both offend people and piss them off. Kill The Faggot, JFK Reloaded, Columbine Massacre are just a few of them. Some may be next to impossible to find, but if you look long enough, you will find them. So while the rating system is a good thing to have in place, it’s not foolproof. It seems to apply only to mainstream games. A lot of indie titles don’t have a rating either. I have over 130 DDL’s on my Switch, and I would venture to say that less than 20 are actually rated. I have some that are definitely not for children that have no rating. I also have games that no one would ban their children from playing that are rated. But I have no children and still play Hatred, so I probably have no horse in this race. Either way though, I’ve been playing games like this since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

It's about time the scalpers were the ones getting screwed. They're all worthless pieces of shit, and the reason that often, people can't get the item in question because the scalpers have all of them and charge a 300% markup for the item. I absolutely DESPISE scalpers.

Maybe they should get in touch with those of us who are classic gamers. As everyone knows, RDR2 is my favorite game, but I still spend more time playing NES, SNES, N64, PS1, Sega Genesis, Atari 2600, and Game Boy. With a small handful of exceptions, I don't play jack shit but classic systems and games.

I never got what the problem was with Manhunt either. I think it was actually Manhunt 2 that was the big problem. I could see differences between it and the first Manhunt but nothing that would be the downfall of society, as they tried to make it seem.

Halo. I absolutely HATED it. It was the first Halo game, and it was one of the most worthless piece of shit games I have ever played. It was the beginning of my hatred of Xbox.

I had the white Assassin's Creed edition PSP. I don't know what happened to it, but it was somewhat rare from what I've been told.

Wizards And Warriors on the NES was a great game and I would love to see a revival of it. There are other one offs like Legacy Of The Wizard that were more than amazing. I would love to see that one come back.The plot is that you have to find four crowns to awaken a dragon so you can kill it. I've been playing it for almost 40 years and HAVE STILL ONLY FOUND ONE FUCKING CROWN.

They haven't delved into anything historically accurate. The closest they have come is getting a port of RDR1. That's only because it is fairly reminiscent of the wild west, which wasn't quite as wild as people like to believe. But a lot of it was right on the money. Sure they have touched on the occasional game that has a bit of history in it. But those games are few and far between.

I don't use android anyway. The only phones I use are iPhone's. I've owned a few android phones, and every one of them was a worthless piece of shit.

It sure as hell wouldn't be the first time a boxing match was rigged. That shit is so common, that I have never had interest in boxing except for the rare event. When Tyson made his return to the ring when he got out of prison, I watched that fight. I saw him bite Holyfield and was actually surprised. Don King was a stain on boxing, and a big player in why a lot of people lost respect for the sport. Myself included.

You’re trying to use BBCode directly which confuses some modern forums, as it’s an old post coding format. It’s not sure what you’re telling it to do, so it just inserted it as text. Just click the tabs at the top of your post window to turn bold, italic, and underline on and off. However, I went ahead and italicized them for you.

Unbelievably, Jake Paul beat Mike Tyson a few minutes ago. I was sure that Tyson would win, but his age came out while he was in the ring. He was absolutely exhausted in the first round, his punches were weak, and he rarely even tried to throw a punch. He got slower and slower as the match went on. He was weak on his knees, and was also wearing a brace on his right knee. After seeing how weak (for a pro boxer) he was, he honestly had no business even stepping back in the ring.

You already know that I’m a hockey fan. So I would say the NHL holds the best playoffs. Then the intensity of the Cup being another best of 7, is awe inspiring. From a sports fan perspective. I think that if anyone would sit down to watch the Cup, they would become a hockey fan.

Gotta go back to NES for this one. The two that top the list are The Legend Of Zelda, and Contra. They always got me straight into the mood for that kind of game. Contra is also the one that introduced most of us to the Konami Code.

While not only a chant, there’s a team who does (did?) do something rather unique. I’m not particularly educated about baseball, but there’s a team who does a thing with their hands dropping it up and down, while moaning. I think they call it “the chop”. But I could be wrong on that. I don’t know what the team it is, because I have more fingers on one hand than names that I know. Due to where I live, I know the cardinals and royals. The only other teams I know are the cubs and yankees. I think there’s a team called the socks, but I’m probably way off on that one too. Baseball is beyond boring and better to put you to sleep than ambien, in my opinion. I’ve had to watch the world championship before because the men in my family were baseball fans. Personally I’ll stick with the Stanley Cup.
