    Just for fun...

    @Tom Brady What I think would be even more fun to discuss would be a tournament of just one player per character and come up with the best players for each character to enter this hypothetical exhibition.

    I'm really confused by some of the reactions in this thread for MK9. 8 Man tourney? Reo - Most decorated MK9 player Crazy Dominican - Best Kitana Maxter - Best Cyrax Perfect Legend - 2x MK9 EVO Champion and arguably the best Kung Lao player CD Jr. - Arguably the best Jax, Rain and Smoke Tyrant...

    No worries, I did not assume you meant it that way, LOL.

    Xbox Game Showcase 2020

    I'm thinking, and hoping that you didn't mean that I seem to be elitist, LOL. I'm an owner of every Sony system, including multiples of the PS1, PS2 and PS3, as well as 3 PSP's and a Vita, a PS4 and a PS Classic. I am not elitist or biased toward any company. I try to look at what games I...

    Xbox Game Showcase 2020

    Honestly, I feel like the showcase was very subdued. I'm not expecting Sony's next one to blow me away either. Most of the games were either sequels, reboots, upgrades to existing games, etc. This isn't to say that I don't believe that MS will win this generation, because I wholeheartedly...

    Microsoft Interested In Buying Batman, Mortal Kombat Dev WB Games - Report

    Right, that's what I mean. While it's new to the console world, it's not a new concept at all. I'm all in on the XSX, but I can call BS when I see it, and "Smart Delivery" is a buzz word for something that those of us who have been using Steam for ages are already accustomed to. We're all...

    Microsoft Interested In Buying Batman, Mortal Kombat Dev WB Games - Report

    I feel like that was covered in “you bought the game, you own it, you can play it on whatever Xbox system you own.” To me, smart delivery is a good idea, but just a new industry buzz term for what steam has been doing for years. “You bought the game, you own the license, feel free to play it...

    Microsoft Interested In Buying Batman, Mortal Kombat Dev WB Games - Report

    As a reminder, in terms of exclusive games, that's completely personal preference. I own all major relevant systems, however, I purchased my PS4 later in the game, and I bought it second hand. My Xbox One, I got the 2013 Day One Edition, even though I didn't agree with Microsoft's initial...

    No, she said a white guy in his late teens/early 20's. The point in my story is that accusations are only accusations. The detective may have been super pissed off, maybe not, at the situation. He did, however, compartmentalize any emotion, and instead was able to properly conclude that this...

    - A collection of the crazy

    Fair enough, but as a victim of a false accusation myself, I'm overly cautious. Remember when I said I've seen first-hand? Here's what happened to me about 24 years ago : I worked at a 24hr convenience store where I worked the late shift which ended at midnight. I lived with my Mom and my...

    - A collection of the crazy

    Please don't misread my first post. I am NOT defending the accused! I am defending the system by which our country determines someone to be guilty or innocent. What these people have been accused of and admitted to is heinous. If they are guilty, they should have the book thrown at them and...

    @CrimsonShadow we've also been on respectful, but opposing points of view as well, but our conversations are always enjoyable. That said, there are rules that definitely have changed. Not in terms of what constitutes rape, or even sexual misconduct, etc. I add the "etc" because I dare not...

    @Vslayer We've had some very good conversations in the past, including being on opposite sides of opinion, so I'm prefacing this immediately, not because I either agree or disagree with you, but because I believe this conversation NEEDS to be had, discussed as adults, and, most importantly...

    Soulsborne + Sekiro Tier List Discussion

    I mean, if you're specifically talking about only games by them, then I understand what you're saying. Soulsborne itself is beginning to be called "circular combat" style games, of which all of the aforementioned games (the ones you've mentioned and ones I've mentioned) fall under that...

    Soulsborne + Sekiro Tier List Discussion

    Honestly, I don't think it's much like Sekiro at all, outside of being another soulsborne style game. I'm a Star Wars fan, and it's a better movie than the last 3 SW movies.

    Soulsborne + Sekiro Tier List Discussion

    It may not be the most difficult of the Soulsborne genre, but do not sleep on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. It is absolutely a soulsborne game, albeit an "easy" one. That said, the story line is absolutely S+ tier. If you haven't played Fallen Order yet, it's on sale pretty much everywhere.

    I agree wholeheartedly. No need to play the blame game. They're the country with the MOST experience right now. We should be harnessing that, instead of driving them away by blaming them.
