    Oh man, I meant "Arrival" and not "The Arrival" :D

    Oh man, I remember seeing Contact for the first time. Wonderful experience. On par with Close Encounters and The Arrival in the "aliens are our friends" genre. EDIT: Adding "the" changes entirely what movie I'm referring to.

    Yeah, baby steps...my wife is still coming to terms with a steering wheel and pedals in our tiny condo.

    Also, got a logitech wheel/pedal combo for Christmas and snagged Gran Turismo 7 on sale. I am shocked at how not fun "The Real Driving Simulator" plays on it. I don't know if it's a skill issue or what, but it just feels so lacking and I've just kept playing on a controller. F1 23 and 24 in...

    Sigh.... In non Nintendo discussion. I have had a PS5 since just after launch, and I almost immediately deleted Astro's Playroom (I guess I thought it was just to show you how the controller works?). I decided on a whim to reinstall it and holy shit it's fun. So much so I bought Astro Bot and...

    To clarify, I've owned every Nintendo system since the NES. It's only when the Wii came out I really started to feel like I was just owning an inferior system to just play first party Nintendo games.

    Yeah, and I BUY these Nintendo systems for Nintendo properties. I do this to myself every generation since the Wii now. I buy it, play the latest Mario/Zelda games, and it sits there collecting dust. Sure there's other Nintendo first party games I'd probably love to try...like my wife and I love...

    Everything Video Games!

    Yeah, I'm leaning towards not getting it. As I said, I'm kind of over Nintendo's game pricing. There's rarely any sales, or price drops. I have the PS5 and with PS Plus it pays for itself with how many games I end up downloading. Occasionally I'll snag a game on sale unless it's something I...

    I really want the Donkey Kong Country 2 remake. What I don't want to do is continue to buy into Nintendo's pricing in which almost nothing ever goes on sale and games are $80-90 CAD forever. I think I'm almost at the point where I'm done with Nintendo systems.

    I can't see them doing a 90s Pogues album tbh. I'd be shocked if that was it.

    "May the road rise up to meet you" is an Irish saying, and I can't think of a punk band more Irish (American) in the 90s than the Dropkick Murphys so he's likely right. Edit: I had mentioned Flogging Molly in a post below but deleted it based on my lack of Flogging Molly knowledge and thinking...

    As a Canadian it's not something we're ever taught, so I kind of started down one long rabbit hole when I googled Brigham Young and realized the story is loosely based on historical events.

    For anyone like me, that sees a historical show/movie and has to read up on to see what's accurate/not accurate it I've found a few good wiki entries: Mountain Meadows Massacre - Wikipedia (at no point did they stop, or were near Fort Briger - it appears the whole Briger story was just tossed...

    So watched American Primeval and depression aside, it was great. One gripe though is I spent the first bunch of episodes being angry at the main character for constantly ignoring the guy who in all likelihood knows far better than her and may be saying things for an actual reason. Infuriating...

    Dude the entire series plot revolves around a really insecure all-powerful wizard straight up wanting to murder a child because for some reason the child survived. It's pretty messed up.

    Oh 100%, everyone is in ratty clothing and dude's up there looking like a boss. It's definitely in his contract...it makes no logical sense. Where is the leather even coming from? I mean, aren't we like hundreds of years past the age of cows?
