I got the Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts movies on 4K Blu-ray for Christmas.  :happydance:

Now that Christmas is over, I can spend some money next year on buying up some more physical media.

EDIT: Almost forgot. I also got the complete DVD collection of The Critic. The animated show that came out in the '90's and the main character was voiced by Jon Lovitz.

It absolutely will. Almost all of our electronics nowadays use RAM or some form of storage chip. From our cars, to our appliances.

hmmm.... I think I put this in the wrong thread today...............


Just got four DVDs of the 1948 Dick Tracy movies, all for $5 with a little over $4 shipping. I am trying to get all of the old Charlie Chan movies with Sidney Toler playing the lead role. 1938 stuff. Also trying to get all of the Mr Moto DVDs with Peter Lorre, also around the same time period. There is just something about a lot of those old movies that had a certain quality in the acting and production.

It looks like they are now predicting for the increases to stick around until 2027-2028.  That's just mind boggling.   IE Western Digital hard drive prices skyrocketed once due to factory fire for many months... not years.  Same thing for Dell Laptop batteries - factory fire... a laptop battery skyrocketed to $300+ for 3-6 months, I think it was.

This also does not take any other factors into place where production issues could occur.   Pretty crazy, it seems like we are in the long haul for this issue ... and yes, I'm calling this an big issue that affects consumers.

I remember the game being advertised but it was never in stores locally. At the time I think I was purchasing my games from local merchants. I don't remember the game being that hyped up. So I had forgotten about it. I was more into shmups and was leaning towards RPGs. I missed Kirby Air Ride.

You know... there is 1 movie I wish we could get that doesn't have a physical release.   Fly Me to The Moon - Channing Tatum, Scarlett Johansson... It is a really well done and made movie.  I'd love to be able to buy that Blu-Ray.  I see this as the big issue moving forward.  I may WANT to buy a physical release... but I'm not able to buy one.

for some reason, it is weird to me that this belongs in the retro gaming section.  However, it is that time 20ish years later.  Did you ever play Kirby Air Ride on the Gamecube?   If so... what was are your thoughts?

I was talking with my son the other day in regard to Kirby Air Riders on the Switch 2... and honestly, I completely forgot I had Kirby Air Ride on the Nintendo GameCube  ???  I have no recollection of even playing the game... which was a little surprising  :o .  It was opened, and my son remembered it LOL... but I did not.  I do remember the cover of the Gamecube title though... so I must've opened it and just didn't play it or something.  However, do you remember playing it?  What were your thoughts on the game and did you enjoy playing the game?

OK - I ended up purchasing this game.   It is pretty fun. More coming soon...  Has anyone else purchased and/or playing this game?


Also - if you played the Gamecube Version, I created a Kirby Air Ride topic for the Gamecube.   Topic link:
