If it's something you really want maybe you can find it elsewhere?

    I've had Xboxes for a long time, and I did buy one PS4 just to play God of War on. Now it sits. LOL The beauty of Xbox is Gamepass where for $5 extra a month (over the $9.99 Gold) where you can play many games and see what you like. Sony does not have Gamepass.

    Maybe Skeebo will comment on the PS4 or 5, I think he plays on one.

    I still have an original xbox and it works but I haven't played it in a long time. We did play a lot back in the day. I also have a working ps2 that never gets played. We got the kids a wii several years ago and still have that. I bought a ps4 last year but don't play much.


    I like Playstation myself, but I must admit it's not because it is better. I have been a Playstation fan forever and I am just more comfortable with them. My daughter likes the Xbox better and she'll tell you it is better. As @DLKnives mentioned if you are into what game pass has to offer it is a better fit.

    Oh, and I still play Super Nintendo games and bought a knock off version about 2 years ago for pretty cheap. I primarily use it to play a WWII game that deals with the War in the Pacific.

    I know there is a gaming system that has some of the old games loaded into it (I think 40 of them) that was really popular when it came out. If you decide you want to play some of the "modern" games Xbox or Playstation is definitely the way to go though. There will be a little bit of a learning curve but with patience you will find them enjoyable.

    I just bought a ps4 last year. I thought it would be fun to have a little more current system. I haven't played much but have played the game that you mentioned. I think its called call of duty WWII. I recently got the new avengers game but haven't made it far yet.

    The only system I still have is the old Sega Genesis. I used to have an XBox 360, but donated it last year. I do enjoy playing the old Sonic the Hedgehog games. I will probably end up getting a PS4 later on this year or next. I expect that they might have some good deals once the next generation of consoles come out.

    I was really into all the Black Ops and Call of Duty games. There's a few videos on Youtube of my game play. The game I was referencing in the above post is PTO II (Pacific Theater of Operations) on the Super Nintendo.

    Here's a quick clip of me playing Black Ops. If you look closely you can tell this is before I started vaping.... There is a custom made Newport cigarette logo on the back of my silenced shotgun lol.

    I have spent mega bucks over the years for gaming systems for my son. From when he was a little kid with the handhelds to today with him getting the new xbox series x and everything in between. Everything known to man. I hear him in his room constantly hollering and playing with his friends and laughing. He just bought a new headset. Me?...I'd rather stare at a blank wall and have no desire to play those games whatsoever. None zilch nada not happening. The last big cleanout of my home a few years ago the older stuff all went away. We sold back some of the games but most of them were too old. Box after box of stuff. ps, xbox, wii. All donated to charity. He enjoys it though...but I find he just sits in his room too much playing or waiting on his friends to play. I'd rather him be out in the world being a little more productive with his time. He spends wayyyyy too much time on gaming. His friend is good and actually makes a little money playing.

    With all that said, I mastered super mario brothers and could get to the end in my sleep many moons ago at my Memaw's house. And I've been known to play solitaire at lunch.

    I forgot about the sega. I have one of those in a box somewhere. I also had the sega handheld game but don't think it works.

    I'm going to sound like an old fart here but I'm struggling getting used to the controls on the ps4. I find it hard to remember which button does what in each game and struggle with aiming and shooting while moving. I'm sure if I played more then I'd get used to it but haven't yet.

    I am like that now. I don't even play online shooter games at all anymore.. I am more into slower paced one player games now. All of my friends still play and they're quite good at it but they spend a lot of time playing.

    About 3 months ago my daughter talked me into getting into a match with her. While we were playing she yelled from the other room, "Don't worry daddy, you use to be good". I didn't want to play anymore after that.

    Probably because you don't have the time.

    I thought I'd have more time to myself with both kids out of the house but that hasn't been the case so far.
    Well, there are the times the kids come back and there's your honey-do list also. :lol:

    Vendor juice is heavily flavored and sweetened. It takes time to come down from that.I’ve been mixing a long time and actually have 2-3 recipes with under 5% flavor. Most of my mixes are usually 10% or less.
    When I started vaping I couldn't stand vendor juices. Too much flavor and too sweet. I thought they were all gross. I got into DIY very shortly after I started vaping in 2012.

    I was about millimeter from going back to smokes when a buddy and his wife said "not so fast SMT" and taught me DIY. They used to own a local vape shop and sold some of their juices there. DIY saved me! :D

    I went on the way home tonight and bought a new phone. I got the iPhone se 2020 or whatever they call it. I just know it was the cheapest one.
    I bought a SE 2020 about a month ago. Love it.

    Your friends call you SMT in the real world too?

    BTW, I agree 100 percent about DIY. I am a newbie at it, but I find it much more enjoyable than buying a bunch of expensive juice and only finding 1 or 2 flavors that are vapable. With DIY, even recipes I don't end up liking that much aren't really all that bad because they are not overloaded with a bunch of sweetener and flavoring.

    Glad you had friends like that.:) I started dabbling in DIY before my first year was out.

    And if you get an Xbox just friend me, DLKnives same name as here. I'll help you out once I teach you how to play Skyrim. That's required. :D

    my final fasttech order is now shipped....sadly they refunded me for the thor mod
    since I waited so long and they had to refund two items off the order it seems they bumped my shipping up to expedited...
    the order was placed on Aug 31st...it's now Sept 22nd...which was no fault of their own, whoever their supplier on the thor mod is a dick and kept saying they'd have it in 3 days...well a month later they still didn't have it...
    Shadav, do you mean the Asmodus Thor mod?

    If that is the one, Daniel Forsyth in the Shiny thread always has really good discount codes for their mods/gear. Lemme know and I'll ask him to tag you with a code.

    Well it's only been a day but so far so good. It's definitely faster than my iphone 7. It was nice also that it fit in the same case as the 7 so I didn't have to buy a case and when I checked out the guy gave me a $50 gift card. I didn't see a promotion on the website so it must have been a non advertised special or something.

    Good to hear. I've never owned an Iphone myself, but a buddy has the phone you bought and loves it. He says that it works just as well as the 1,200 dollar Iphones, minus a few bells and whistles.

    My very first phone was a soap bar phone with an antenna that pulled out. After that I had a Motorola flip phone. My first smart phone was an android and it was a piece of junk. I made the switch to an iphone 4 and then to a 5, and then a 7. Now the SE. I usually just buy whatever is on sale or the cheapest model. I don't care about having the latest and greatest. Every iphone I've had has lasted a long time except for the 7 and I blame that on the non factory screen replacement.
