LBT Projects / Sharptooth Tournament
« on: September 29, 2020, 08:41:56 AM »
So, I made something a little fun.  It's a voter style Tournament for the Sharpteeth of The Land Before Time.

Now, as I said, it will be determined by voting.  It'll be traditional style.  In fact, I found we have 32 participants.  This does not include the ones that randomly pop-up sometimes.  This will get interesting.

If you have questions about which ones are which, please feel free to ask.

Here's the list.

https://brackethq.com/b/jqyh/#.X3MUzINNPSg.link

I don't know if this was random, but I think most of the beginning match-ups turned out pretty well.  Each Sharptooth has where they premiered next to their name.

Now, each round will be done in Strawpoll for easy access.  Each round will last one week and you can vote on all the match-ups you want.  You can only vote once per match-up.  So choose carefully.  I'll be back every Tuesday with the results.

This week will be the most match-ups, but it should be much shorter after that.

With everything out of the way, here we go!

« on: May 04, 2020, 09:16:24 AM »
As we all know, things like GDC, E3 and Gamescom were all restricted to online-only or outright cancelled due to COVID-19.  However, it seems a saving grace has happened.  Introducing Summer Game Fest.

I know, I know.  It doesn't look like much right now, but it's going to be a 4-month long event.  From May to August, various game creators will announce their newest things.  This is coming from the likes of 2K, Activision, Bandai Namco, Bethesda, Blizzard Entertainment, Bungie, CD Projekt Red, Digital Extremes, Electronic Arts, Microsoft, Private Division, Riot Games, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Square Enix, Valve, and Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.  Love them or hate them, they will be announcing it all under the Summer Game Fest brand.

Keep an eye on the following for more.

Tiktok

According to their Twitter, first up is Microsoft on Thursday with the 3rd Party titles for their new console.  Guess I'll see ya then!

Silver Screen / The Secret Life of Pets 2
« on: April 21, 2020, 12:15:53 PM »
Well, I knew it would be not that eventful of an off day for me, so time to getting to watching some movies on my list.  Starting with...

The Secret Life of Pets 2

So, how do I put this?  It's not a bad movie, but it's not great.  My biggest problem with this movie is that it doesn't have a consistent story.  There's actually a few stories in this one and they try to bring them together in a meaningful way, but in the end, it feels like this would have been better if this was part of a few episodes of a TV Series.  For a movie, it's better if you stick with one story.  Sure, this was a nice ride, but it gets a bit hard to follow if you don't stick to one story.  Now, some movies make several stories put together work, but this one feels like it needs to go out of it's way to make that happen.

If I'm being fully honest, I'm probably not going to watch this one again.  It was nice, but there's better movies to spend my time with.

On to the next one.

So, here's my first GIF ever!  I love the Ducktales reboot and when I saw something in the fourth episode of the third season, I had to capture it.

Would you believe me if I told you that Louie has a running tally of how many times the kids have been offered as a sacrifice?

Coming this June, IGN will be throwing something special in place of E3.

I'm not a fan of IGN these days, (I have certain past gripes with them that I can't seem to get over.) but I'll keep an eye on this and we'll see if I cover it in place of E3 this year.  I make no promises, but it does seem like something I will enjoy if I do cover it.

Gamers Zone / Nintendo Celebrates Mario's 35th Anniversary with Re-releases
« on: March 31, 2020, 09:04:07 AM »
Well, looks like Nintendo will be doing something big despite everything going on for the plumber they love.  It's his 35th year, and there are Mario Games coming later this year.  They were going to do this for E3, but with that cancelled, may as well get this out now.  More info below.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-03-31-more-details-emerge-on-nintendos-mario-remasters

I will be very curious to see how they handle Galaxy and Galaxy 2, considering the console they were on.  Still, these will be on my BUY IT list.

As for the upcoming Paper Mario game, I'll see what it's like before I buy. (I was VERY disappointed with Sticker Star, so you can understand why I'm cautious.)

Your thoughts?

Klaus.  The Story of Santa Claus like you've never seen before.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taE3PwurhYM

Saw it!  Non-Spoiler Review below.

Wow!  This is really, really good.  Perhaps one of the best Christmas movies I've ever seen.  Seriously, you don't want to miss this one.  If you are going to see one new Christmas movie this year, let it be this one.

Can't get more into detail without spoiling.  So, that's it for now.

See ya later! :wave

Silver Screen / Legend of the Three Caballeros
« on: November 12, 2019, 08:30:52 PM »


I've been meaning to talk about this.  If you've seen the movie The Three Caballeros, then you probably know the main protagonists in this TV Series version.  Donald, José and Panchito go on mystical adventures to find treasure and stop the evil Lord Felldrake. (Who is voiced by the awesome Kevin Michael Richardson.  Seriously, he is amazing here.)

Spoiler: ShowHide
This is rather enjoyable.  I mean, you obviously have Donald, who can easily bring laughs with any of his antics when bad luck hits him, (Seriously, it hits him hard right at the start.) José and Panchito are both enjoyable.  However, nobody tops the hammy Lord Felldrake.  He's just amazing with his banter.

On top of that, this is one of the few series that features Daisy's Nieces, April, May and June. (However, they suffer the same problem as the early version of Donald's Nephews.  The only difference between the three being what color shirt they wear.  No personality differences.) Xandra is a new character who is enjoyable mainly due to what you would expect from someone who's been trapped in a mystical item for thousands of years.


It's only 13 episodes, but there is hope for more.  It is currently on the new Disney Plus.  So this is quite the incentive to get it.

I haven't seen much, but I'm enjoying it so far.  I'll tell ya more when I get to the end.

See ya later! :wave

Silver Screen / Rocketman
« on: October 21, 2019, 06:43:31 AM »
Rocketman, the film about Elton John.  I do admit that I like some of his music.  He is very talented, and deserves every penny he gets.

Anyways, this movie took me a bit to get to for several reasons.  I will not share them, but I will only say that those reasons forced me to get the movie twice.  Not a fun thing to deal with.

I will say that I find the rating of R for this movie to be biased.  From what I saw, it felt more like a PG-13 movie. (This is only the second time I felt this way about a movie.  Then again, I haven't seen many R rated movies, so I don't know how much of a problem this is.) I have a feeling that it was given that R rating because the film was more open with Elton John's homosexual relationship.  I guess I shouldn't be too surprised if that is the case.  I mean, the MPAA rating board is filled with old farts who probably still can't accept this sort of thing.  It just feels like an insult to give it that rating.

I thoroughly enjoyed this.  I like how it opened with Elton John walking into a meeting where he could be open about himself.  I did question the costume he was wearing, but I felt that the film would explain that.

This is a good movie.  I do encourage others to see it if they can.  It probably wasn't worth getting twice, but I'm glad I saw it.

Silver Screen / Disney Plus
« on: October 16, 2019, 08:40:03 PM »
Okay, it's less than a month away.  Let's talk about this.

Disney+, Disney's own streaming service, will launch November 12th.  I, for one, am looking forward to it.  Even more so once I saw the Day One lineup.

https://www.theverge.com/2019/10/14/20913417/disney-plus-launch-lineup-marvel-star-wars-pixar-tv-shows-movies-simpsons-national-geographic

There is indeed controversy, especially with how much Disney bought out to make this happen.  However, as a fan of early Disney, I care very little about that.  As long as they bring me good content, I don't care.

I'll be getting it not long after it launches.  Likely on Day one.  I'm definitely looking forward to it.

What about all of you?  Will you get it?  Also, what do you have to say about it?  Let's discuss.

Computer and Electronics / Beware Wantse.com! SCAM SITE!!
« on: August 26, 2019, 08:07:26 PM »
Okay, time for me to talk about this.  A few weeks ago, I was on the hunt for a new desktop computer.  My current one is running on it's last legs.  I had built it with my Dad and the parts were all recommended by a certain computer expert member of this forum.  I have come to love it and nothing will ever truly replace it.  However, it is time for me to get a new one.

So, I was looking online and I found a really nice one on wantse.com.  It had some really nice specs, ran on 8 GB of RAM and it was only $70.  It said it would take up to 5 business days to arrive.  I chose to get it.  I paid for it via Paypal.

When I got the transaction info, I found something odd.  I had no tracking number and the item was listed as clothing.  Also, after some days of research, I found that many had been scammed by Wantse.  After all that, it was then that I decided to dispute the transaction.

After nearly 2 weeks, I have my money back.  Wantse never once responded to my dispute.  So I won by default.

In short, do not buy from Wantse.  It will scam you.

Anyways, I'll now look to buy from a more trusted site.  Still need a new computer.

See ya later! :wave
