@BruceCM Ah, okay. So, kind of a peace offering, then. Still weird, though. They wouldn't have to do that, seeing as the people's games are still coming regardless of the delay, so basically, they were still giving away money, and that still tells me that in whatever way, this is still a bit of clever marketing. As a sales & marketing man myself, there's simply no other way that I can see this.

@Zuljaras True enough.

Wow...nine site notifications. I feel loved! This might be a new record.

@NintendoByNature That's why you trick out the van. Make it YOUR van! There better be a Zelda-related bumper sticker....

And I MIGHT have an idea why you're asking about PC/Steam usage....

@Eel I had forgotten about that. Very tempting; I might look into that. No promises that I'll be picking up a Digivice, though.

That is a kick in the nostalgia. Pokemon, Digimon, and Yu-Gi-Oh! were my main cartoons/franchises of choice for a long while when I was younger. I'm not really a Yu-Gi-Oh! fan anymore, but those monster taming franchises still hold some appeal for me.

@Heavyarms55 I usually just employ mobile games as three minute time-wasters when I'm stuck in a vehicle with nothing else to do or am waiting in line somewhere.

@ThanosReXXX I admittedly haven't read a lot of the comics on the DC side of things; probably the only thing I've actually read featuring Thanos was in the DC vs. Marvel crossover compilation volume that I borrowed off of a friend at one point. And, unfortunately, I haven't seen either Infinity War or (since I missed the former) Endgame. But from what I do know about the guy, his finger snap, while brutal, was meant to be a way to ease the troubles of the world. Chaotic Neutral is indeed a pretty good way to describe him IMO.

Pizza Hut in my neck of the woods, many years ago, had these really good dessert pizzas that were just like eating thin fruit pies/streudel. There was the thin crust, the fruit layer (usually cherry, blueberry, or apples w/cinnamon), and then a layer on top of that of oats, brown sugar, and white icing drizzled on top. I have NO IDEA why Pizza Hut stopped serving those on their buffet, but they were pretty good!

@MarioLover92 Ugh, I can definitely sympathize. I also owned Pokemon Dash for a period of time. Many early DS games took the touch screen gimmick too far IMO. I was so disappointed in Pokemon Dash once I figured out the game wasn't what I thought it would be. The touch-only controls to run were not ideal, you could only play as Pikachu, and the custom courses Pokemon courses, while sometimes cool, were limited and auto-generated by the game.

I'm sure that game helped contribute to the deterioration of my touch screen. However, I think most of the blame goes to the Guitar Hero: On Tour games. I was really into that series for awhile and still own one of the Wii entries.

@Tyranexx i dk... can one really TRICK out a van? Lol. I actually love the spaciousness a van provides and believe it or not, it was the vehicle i learned to drive on at the young age of 16 😉.

@Tyranexx Not just the world: the ENTIRE universe, which just so happens to include the Earth.
But in all honesty, he IS rather delusional at times, so only he himself sees the "good" of what he does.

I mean, a picture paints a thousand words:
Untitled
The hapless victim there is Sam Wilson, aka the late new Captain America. So,yeah... definitely NOT a nice guy. It's just my dark half...

As for the movies: if you can find the time somewhere in the next few weeks or so, you really should watch the Infinity War saga, though. Unless of course you haven't watched all the tie-in and prequel Marvel movies yet, otherwise there'll either be too many spoilers, or some parts of them will make no sense whatsoever.

@NintendoByNature My parents put me in more than one vehicle, but the main one (and the first one I drove once I got my license) was an old green '95 Ford Windstar. Wasn't really a fan of the thing; it turned really wide. Had a couple of mild mishaps with ice before I accidentally totaled it my senior year of high school. Mainly because it had almost no value by then. Kind of a weird story.

@ThanosReXXX That picture is definitely worth many words. "Delusional" sound like one good description of many there. XD

I intend to watch the whole MCU in the "recommended" order at some point. I've seen some of the movies, though not with any regularity. I've seen both The Avengers and Age of Ultron, Ant-Man and The Wasp, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and I think one or two others....I have my work cut out for me lol.

@NintendoByNature They must've been one of the de facto "Here kid, drive this!" vehicles. XD It was never actually mine; it was in my parents' name. Since I didn't pay for the gas, I was only allowed to drive it to school if I had to stay late for an extracurricular activity, had to do an early morning errand/task for my dad (Tip: Loading hogs is NOT fun in most conditions) that would make me miss the bus, or if I had to haul or pick up my two younger siblings for any reason. I'd say it was a fair arrangement, and tbh I didn't mind riding the bus too much even when most of my peers were driving; I could usually read, study, or do homework during the 45-60 minute bus ride, at least until we picked up the kids in town. They added to the noise.

@Tyranexx Okay....
Well, then you've more than likely already watched them out of order. I don't know what these two others you watched are, but I'm kinda hoping that one of them is the first Captain America movie, because watching Winter Soldier first and THEN the first movie is not only a shame because of all the spoilers/references in the second movie, but also because of almost half the plot of the first movie.

Anyway, if you want to know how to watch the rest in the right order, then this for all intent and purposes, is the definitive list. There's even two versions mentioned: the first in chronological order per the MCU, and the second in release dates, which funnily enough, isn't necessarily the right order for the story of all the phases so far as a whole.

Anyway, without further ado, I present thee with the How to watch the Marvel movies in chronological order list:
https://www.techradar.com/how-to/how-to-watch-the-marvel-movi...

There's also a lot of info there about upcoming movies and series, the latter of which are obviously interesting if you have Disney+ or are thinking about getting it.

@Tyranexx haha yea it wasn't mine either. It was my moms. My first actual ride(that I owned) was a 91 pontiac grand am. It was pretty lame but I felt like a million bucks. And I was the first to get my license out of all my best friends. So i was the coolest kid on the block so to say lol

@NintendoByNature Thanks for including me in the offer. I do have Steam but I’ll probably pick the Wonderful 101 on Switch at some point. Looks like a really fun game, but I’m going to away from the home pc for the next month or so. Work has resumed.

@ThanosReXXX Haha. True. We are all caught in the pizza cycle.

I agree with you on the Hawaiian. Ham or Canadian Bacon doesn’t have enough of a kick. I’ve also seen places add cherry tomatoes as a topping on their Hawaiian, which seems kind of unnecessary.

@Tyranexx Probably better than reading the news and getting depressed - which is what I tend to do in lines and stuff.

Well, if it helps promote the game as well, @ThanosReXXX .... That's certainly a good plan! Have another notif, then, @Tyranexx, to add to your collection

Can you guys tell me how you clean your game controllers and other electronic devices? I always just kind of wing it with whatever I have lying around but I would like to hear some other ideas.

@ThanosREXXX I believe you specifically talked about this at one point? Or maybe I'm thinking about someone else.

@Zuljaras Lol, I'm borderline obsessive about not eating while I play, almost to the point that I annoy myself sometimes.

But anyway, how do you use it, do you poor it on a clothe and wipe it down or what? I've seen alcohol based cleaning wipes in stores too.

@NotTelevision Cherry tomatoes? That only makes it soggier, and it already IS a careful balance with adding the pineapple, so to add even more to that, isn't good. Oh, well. To each their own, right? If they have it on the menu, it probably sells.

@BruceCM Yeah, true enough.

@Heavyarms55 Well, I talked about it a while back, with @Tyranexx among others, but personally, I didn't really mention an actual solution or way to do it. I mostly just use wet wipes or paper tissues/towels made slightly damp with lukewarm water. Rubbing alcohol on a fine cotton cloth is also a good option, but for some controllers, which have rubberized grips or surfaces, alcohol really isn't the best solution, because it'll soften that layer and make it sticky, which in turn makes it attract even more dust and dirt than before. In a worst case scenario, alcohol can also completely destroy that layer, so ultimately, it depends on the controller.

@Zuljaras Nothing odd about that, if you ask me. Tom Holland is doing an absolutely excellent job as the current Spider-Man, in my opinion.
