You’re close, 14 Nissan 370Z touring class. Families grown up around Z’s since the Datsun era so my dad and I both have them, he’s got a 2020 sport class. been trying to get the new Z but they’re just so expensive between 42-70k depending on the type. i gotta agree. While I like the overall look and feel of the switch 2, I don’t see where it’s really that big of a difference between my old switch. What does sort of Tee me off is that transferring all my switch data MINUS the SD card essentially wipes out the memory resetting it to factory. And I can’t even use my SD card as the 2 requires the SDEX card which is quite the expensive storage upgrade between 50-100 bucks! And the question comes to mind, am I going to be playing the snot out of this console to warrant the purchase of more memory? Seeing how I didn’t fill up the switch’s HD let alone my 32gig SD card, I can probably say no. Unless Cyberpunk is gonna eat up the majority of the drive. im also not keen that game cartridges are nothing more than CD keys meaning you still gotta download the game versus just installing then being able to start. But honestly that’s nothing new with any of the consoles in the market….you’re essentially installing the game to your drive and then downloading a stupid patch to fix problems.

while watching the trailer again I this time paused some of the end segments. Looks like somehow our lil synthetic heroine is gonna hook a xenomorph right on its secondary mouth and properly just rip the dang thing right out maybe even killing it or getting a big acid splash, guess wait and see. There's at least some differences from what previous movies have tried like introducing other animals and species....it would be really. neat if they do the ol' kenner toy bit and we see the Xenomorph equivalent of those creatures.

I caved….so wow was really surprised it was still in stock on my lunch break cause Targets inventory check online was really accurate. Supposedly they have 5 more bundled variants left, lots of the standards. initial thoughts, it’s big, it’s kind of heavy. The joycons are bending at the main body like I thought they would and that’s an issue I had with the original console. However my thought of accidentally pushing the release buttons has been forgotten. You gotta push a fairly noticeably big button on each to get them to dislodge. but right now that’s about all I can say. I really haven’t been able to try anything cause it’s taking forever to download the blasted update on company guest wifi.

Could be quite the rabbit hole, but so far I've had pretty good control on not going over board lately with retroware....I don't think I've purchased anything since maybe February for the most part. Not even sure what games I would even purchase on either console....I would suppose some of the basics or a similar library to what I already got which isn't a terrible amount. 99% of the games I own are from my original ownership and it wasn't much. Folks didn't wanna pay those kind of prices even back in those days and that's understandable. Sametime, I dunno what's even really out there for games I could play that doesn't involve a lot of reading japanese, verbally hearing it is one thing, reading it, I sucked.

I forgot it's already June and it being released. I did see some unboxing videos and well, I still dunno. From what I could see, it does look neat, but I've also been happy with my original switch I've had for a decade. I don't see right now where I even need to do this purchase yet and sorta wanna wait now until they fixed bugs. My biggest issue right now would be the magnetic joycons....I can just see people pushing those release buttons and dropping their system a lot.

So quick Q, someones offering me untested Famicon and Super Famicon for 65 bucks. The Famicon looks to be in real good shape hardware wise but missing cables, comes with both controllers. The Super Famicom though, it's been yellowed a fair amount, no cables, 1 controller. Sort of thinking of getting them on friday. Any thoughts?

RIP Jonathon Jones (John Redcorn, "King of the Hill")
Hikuro replied to kajnrig's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It's been big news in my area last 24 hours, I live just north of San Antonio not to far. From the sounds of it his house burnt down due to the really cold temps we tend to get over the last few years. He'd been using Propane (no pun intended) to heat up his home but it still wasn't enough. So he and his partner stayed at a hotel to stay warm. He was on his way back to the house to check on his 4 dogs when the house was on fire. Cause of the fire was supposedly determined to be the propane space heater however Joss claimed it was vandalism due to he being gay and often having trouble with various people in the area because of that. I can rather believe the heater being the issue as a very similar incident happened with my dad 6 years ago resulting in his home being burnt down and losing several of his dogs. These things happen when you don't think about it. Now, this incident occurred I think back several months, and you roll into yesterday where he was coming to the property to pick up mail where his dispute with his neighbor began. I find it rather odd he's still picking up mail from an area that's no longer livable and not sent somewhere else. But I guess this so called neighbor has had various issues with Joss in the past, rumors are they'd shot at eachother before, I mean this is Texas and all that. But I guess things went to far this time and here we are. -

I dig either or. There's design cues and stylings that would work well on SS86 Megatron from Romulus, at the same time, there's stuff that's on Romulus that's forgotten somehow on Megatron.- 17997 replies

I think I'll preorder it. I'm really impressed with his Robot mode....vehicle mode, I mean it's okay, fairly heavy retool of Megatronus though isn't he? Either case, I'll order him as the replacement of my .......15+ year old Hegemon(?)- 17997 replies

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Do we even know how many episodes are in this series? With the pacing of things lately some of them range from 12-48 and split into segments a year apart. So maybe all this really slow bad pacing and awkwardness is because the show will eventually be split into two segments and just doing really crummy character development.- 4016 replies

I haven't seen much for TF figures lately. I see a very small trickle of AOTP, Red Alert and Prima mostly....did come across ONE and ONLY ONE Megatronus/Fallen. Everything else has been TFOne or slightly older product. Hell there's once again an over saturation of SS86 Bee again.- 17997 replies

I rather enjoyed the Patterson cut of this, there were some things that kind of bummed me out cause there's some story elements that complete vanish, and scenes, overall pacing, but it wasn't bad at all. It's pretty much the only one of his stuff I've watched, I haven't checked out Kenobi or the Boba Fett two parter at all.

Personally I still rather enjoy Rebels, I mean for me it's Clone Wars, Rebels, Bad Batch, Tales of the Jedi, Underground, Droids, Ewok's, Visions.................then Resistance (see what i did there?) They just have different tones and restrictions to what they can do and budgets and broadcasting compared to streaming services and live action. But I still like it. Overall though I've absolutely adored this season, if anything I love LOVE L O V E the set designs, the backgrounds, the atmosphere, the overall esthetics being used compared to the first season and overall the live action shows in general. The odd thing though is when the Senate building is shown....in the prequels it was felt like it was smacked dab in the middle of a giant city, almost swallowed up. But in many shots of Andor, it's the complete opposite. I'm not sure if I'm articulating the differences accurately, but like lets say in Andor's version of area, it's like I'm looking at the Apple campus, very white, very open, modern, no buildings in sight. It's sort of odd considering Courscant is just one giant towering city of buildings and skyscrapers and speeders and ships.

Well, it would either of been 00 or IBO since they were both fan favorites.....so it's been a good decade now, and if ya didn't like IBO, then almost 20 years.- 4016 replies

I mean it's no secret and all that stuff, but I think it's a smart move to keep at it so we can build up to a proper AVP film after those first two dismal movies. Even with the rumors of Alien Earth hading teased a predator in their trailer.

From what I had heard from a contact at Disney, Disney after acquiring FOX did have ideas of a ride or some attraction that was going to be ALIEN themed. But after a long drawn out census and ideas they deemed it was something that would been to terrifying and difficult to pull off. I'm not sure how involved they were wanting to get....there was that non licensed ALIEN WAR attraction in the UK so long ago....could just pull off something like that and would probably been amazing.

Hikuro replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
didn't think it was terrible. The only thing I have issues with in this series is the need for these clan battles which is just like WfM's lil dueling system and the character designs not matching up to the rest of the animation. Still though, I'll never buy the kits just like how I never bought the mercury or reconguista kits.- 4016 replies

SXSW had an AE event booth to promote the series I think back in March. When I heard about it I thought it was gonna be potentially awesome and really wanted to check it out until I saw what ticket costs were and laughed it off. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG6aHKlvVKS/?igsh=MTJ2dm02OGo0aDJ2eA== I managed to find footage someone took and man, did that seem like a big lack luster.

I do admit that's rather annoying but I don't think this series was supposed to air until August, I can't recall though. What does get to me is how the ship interior is pretty much bit by bit a replica of the Nostromo like you can't just do something rather different. Kind of bums me out a little, I don't mean I hate it, it just doesn't interest me all that much.

I also just got G2 Grimlock. The local Walmart had him hiding way in the back behind The Fallen, there were also the retro bee and gears and Red Alert, I passed mostly due to budget. gotta agree though the sword not being present is rather a bummer. I’ll be curious to see Toyhax upgrades for him in sticker form, I’ll probably snag them.- 17997 replies

ANOTHER Jared Leto casting? Come on : / there had to be a ton more better options to play that role for god sakes. I just don't like this guy at all and what he does....he's been the root behind so many great bad guys and characters going to ass. -
Guess this is the project they were discussing at Cinemacon or whatever about sneaking two movies at us.
