That bozo definitely did the dub

yeah that's understandable...i thought stickered bricks were hot shit in like the 80s/90s, the price these things go for now though?

i mean, that NES one newt bought (and will never open...) had like, moving parts

I have that same set, and while it survived a couple of house moves, it's in pieces and I might have actually lost some important parts now that I think of it. 

I'm super curious. Wan was a guaranteed good time for me up until Malignant.

Last year was so damned good for horror! My second favorite whitest kid Zach Cregger did Barbarian, and I finally got to Jordan Peele's Nope on the plane over to the States.

Did you ever put that Lego Optimus Prime together? I’ve almost picked him up a couple of times. He was even on sale around Black Friday, but I ultimately pass. I’ve still got LEGO Voltron in his box and I bought that thing like three or four years ago.

Yeah I put it together before my son beat the shit out of him. It's an okay build but I was honestly a little disappointed with the details(the head is a stickered brick for example). 

So 21st December has more or less officially become gravy day in the last few years, entirely because of this Paul Kelly classic.

So, happy gravy day Hondos fam.

it's a fair question - i know there's a % of folks who cant use VR, but my weird combination of conditions thankfully just means my eyes prolly get tired at some point, i've not played anything for more than like an hour so not sure where that lies

 

it's funny, i can't see the boat in those old eye trick books in the day, but the 3DS for instance worked fine (even if i usually dropped the 3D for framerate boost anyway)

Despite many attempts over numerous hours, I've never been able to see a goddamned sailboat. And that's with mostly fine vision but no wonkies. 

One nation under reason for edit. 

From admittedly terrible memory the PSVR headset sat more on the bridge of the nose, hopefully the next iteration continues this but with a more breathable material around the eyes, cause mine sweat like crazy.

yeah for all my talking shit, i may go half on one with teri - i've not dived into VR yet but with the push sony's making here i'm hoping for some big games, even if the lack of backwards compatibility for all but the most popular of the last gen games is a bummer

 

confirmation on half life alyx would be really cool.  really hoping sony doesn't pump this high-tech thing out and not really support it/hope for the best like they did early on with the vita, move, eyetoy etc

Genuine question, no ribbing: How do you go with these headsets with your (pardon medical jargon) 'eye thing'?

That seems like a dick move. I tried to get Nicholas a PS5, but it is really expensive.

I'm just assuming here that your kid's name is Nicholas and you haven't entered into an arrangement with Hondos admin.

I'll be all over that VR at any price because again. the tech evolves and gets cheaper the more money gets thrown at it. Also fuck all those games I talked about above: The only game you need for PSVR is Superhot. Beat Sabre is also pretty sick.

Also I'll be all over that VR2 because I've been really impressed by the build quality of the PS5 controller, and am excited to see how immersive the haptics and button placement make it all. 

Birthday/Q4/self-treats haul. I bought Scott a similar smoking lamp because his dirty piece gave me the lung rot that's kept me bed-ridden all week. And I've been promising myself a decent hose and pressure cleaner for a while, so once I'm better I'm gonna be cleaning my driveway with the biggest boner I can manage.

Kojima wants to stay independent - Rejected 'ridiculously high' acquisition offers

from his podcast (which has been really good so far, he was just talking with jordan peele recently there)

 

 

 

nothing but respect for this - i do wish he could somehow get the rights to his older konami works (snatcher, policenauts) one day

If Pachinko Popularity continues to drop like this, Konami might feel the need to make up capital by selling older IPs? Wishful thinking but nice thought. 

Am I the only one who was looking forward to a new Wolverine?

It's not shade on Jackman, but we were given closure to his story. Let's see 20 years later who's built to fill that banana suit.

I really, really hope they don't shit the bed here. If it wasn't for cartoony Kingpin in Hawkeye I'd be a lot more excited...that said, I'm still really fucking excited.

Cartoony- How? Like the enhanced strength that he canonically has? Or just being too arch?

Cause I wasn't around the bang the drum but Hawkeye is in my personal S-tier of Disney+ content, and I saw no violations of Netflix or comic lore*.

*actually, wasn't the garage Echo was based out of called Fat man's or Kingpin's? Maybe a quark-bit silly.

This is more of a sidebar that isn't worth it's own thread, but right before Milo was born I got heavy-into old Convict shanties because I wanted to update the ol' bedtime song repertoire while playing to the register that works for my voice. 

In hindsight, Hateful Eight was probably a factor too. 

I could share something more authentic but JJL fucking MURDERED this cover.

I mean he's not that far off, right?

Have we talked here, or in comics about Batman's power really just being white privilege and the slim shot any other race or gender would ever have at becoming Batman?

That's what came to mind reading this anyway.

One Aussie legend covering another. 

Co-signing that the Vanilla Fudge cover of You Keep me Hanging on from a page or two back is pretty sick too, for similar reasons.

FIIIIIIINALLLLYYYYYYYYYYYY

IDK how to feel about no online for Xbox, but local splitscreen is where it's at anyway, and since I'm not paying any more for it than the sub If I wanna play online I'll probably shell out for the Switch version anyway(follow me for other tips on redundancies when buying the same game across multiple generations and platforms).

That Black Cat costume is sick! Hobo Ben Reilly really looks the part too.

To be fair I've been listening to The Chats new album more than the new Genesis Owuzu releases, but his last album was incredible and this friggin' bananas moment was promoting said album.

It almost can't get more Australian and then Australian of the Year Dylan Alcott joins them on stage. 

Seasons 1 & 2 are some of my favourite comic-related shows(I spruik it constantly as the best, most emotionally honest approach to the X-men on screen) and this is no shade on Panch but I'm damned glad I watched before I read because the comics are fucking nutty, and I probably wouldn't have ventured far into them if I hadn't dug the show so much. 

Season 3 didn't have as much impact on me, which I put down to the soundtrack and a lack of those music/action moments that punctuated earlier content so perfectly. Closest to that for me was maybe the opening dance sequence when Sparrows and Umbrellas meet.

Well, first ep was a lot of fun! My guess is we won't be seeing much more of Bruce moving forward but more importantly, I'm curious how Titania's power set will be treated given her link to the Power Stone, post Endgame.

My co-viewer hated the CGI as a lot of people have, but idk, maybe my eyes are just so cooked I don't notice the problem.

So wait, is this finally wrapped up? I fucking loved this book, but just couldn't keep track of what was releasing when. I'd love to just start it again from the start and read it beginning to end. 

Yeah, about as done as it gets. Just don't jump the gun like I did and look for the rest of Volume 4-5-whatever. It stops at #8 unexpectedly and doesn't get wrapped up until the 20th Anniversary special.

Scott's gonna be so sad that he missed out on Saturn games. 

Glad to see some things never change and Newtype is still almost single-handedly propping up this thread.
