62º is toasty. MS really messed up when they didn't consider the various set ups people have. How am I meant to use my Series X as a stool when it will be shooting temperatures I can boil green tea with up my ass?

SPENCER!!!!

[Darklor01]

Batteries not included, awesome film
Do you remember Cocoon though?

Man, the 80s had a TON of awesome movies like that for sure. What about Splash!?

 

[Darklor01]

For the age of that movie the special effects really hold up pretty well!

Do you remember Flight Of The Navigator?

It really does hold up well.

Loved Flight of the Navigator....
What about:
Enemy Mine -

 

[Sinthor]

I mean there as some real old, i lived my early years in Zambia and we basically got a lot of ould American stuff on tv, i am not sure how rare these are but i remember these.

sorry for the derail people this will be the last cartoons i link, its a slow day, i apologize.

Wow. Most of those were before my time or really old and rare when I even saw them, but dang...what a simpler time. "Cartoons" today aren't even CLOSE to this. Times sure do change!

 

[ThaMonkeyClaw]

Loved Flight of the Navigator....
What about:
Enemy Mine -

Yesss! I completely forgot about that movie!

 

[Sinthor]

LOL! Yes, they do. There's even a scene of one charging:

I'm not quite sure why they chose that movie title.

Because they were aliens, right? But they LOOKED like kids electronic toys....pretty awesome and futuristic ones at the time this movie was made but still toys. So just a play on the phrase "Batteries not included" that is usually on the boxes of these types of toys when you buy them. At least in North America...not certain if that's standard elsewhere.

 

[Darklor01]

Yesss! I completely forgot about that movie!

I was about to mention the movie Space Camp as well, and show a Gif...

Growing up, I never caught just what the space ship towards the end of this clip looked like. Now I can't unsee it.

 

[Sinthor]

It really does hold up well.

Loved Flight of the Navigator....
What about:
Enemy Mine -

YES! I saw this movie many years after it first came out but it's been one of my old classic favorites since then. It DOES hold up fairly well still. Just a damn good story.....was very unusual, especially for that era of sci-fi movie making.

I mean story wise, the best show I've ever seen was the 2004 BattleStar Galactica remake series. Very well done. Seasons 1-2 are good but standard sci-fi type fare really. I assume the writing team changed or something but whatever the reason, seasons 3-4 really kicked it up several notches in the story department and really made the series overall.

Now, if only they'd make the Honor Harrington series of books by David Weber into a GOOD series of movies or a TV series...I could die a happy man!

I wonder how BOTH consoles will meet the newer 2019 EU regulations, standby mode allows 2W, not 30W.

Instant resume standby does not meet EU 2W regulations or am I missing something ?

Maybe there is a work aaround so standby is optional...

PS5 has a 0.5W standby mode, iirc.

 

[TGO]

Man, the 80s had a TON of awesome movies like that for sure. What about Splash!?

Splash, Flight of the Navigator, The Last Star Fighter to name a few.
And let's no forget Weekend at Bernie's

I watched Space Camp a lot growing up as well, also loved the movie D.A.R.Y.L., as well as stuff like Wargames, The Manhattan Project, Real Genius, etc.

 

[Deleted member 775630]

PS5 has a 0.5W standby mode, iirc.

That's basically the "energy saving" mode, right? Not the "instant on" mode?

 

[jasondefaoite]

PS5 has a 0.5W standby mode, iirc.

Networking (wired or wireless) won't be active, not at 0.5W ...

 

[Sw0pDiller]

Xmen, Thunder cats, he-man, turtles, Lonestar, transformers etc, i think most of us from back then love that stuff.

its kinda hard to look at those series now, they just lack some storytelling damn damn good memories indeed:

Just imagine being a kid today and growing up with the shit they have on now. Cry

Well don't fortget kids these days have massive amounts of marvel universe movies, they made 6 awesome lord of the rings movies, Harry Potter universe and i can go on... offcourse they are no saturday morning PJ flicks but damn.

 

[THE:MILKMAN]

I'm not sure what the agreed watts are for this year with the consoles and can only find reference to 'networked standby' of 12W for 2019.

There is also this highly detailed report of testing the current consoles that gives detailed power consumption figures for various modes:

Review study of the ecodesign voluntary agreement for the product group “videogames consoles” - Publications Office of the EU

Details of the publication

op.europa.eu

I would be interested to know what mode the XSX quick resume (and PS5 equivalent) are supposed to use or whether Sony/Microsoft have been able to find a loophole.

 

[Darklor01]

Now quick, without an internet search, what did D.A.R.Y.L. stand for?

 

[sircaw]

The voice actor of rogue on the X-Men cartoon is my local MLA in shit town Nova Scotia. She came to my door for a vote and I just kept asking her why she sounded so familiar. Didn't mention X-Men once. Didn't figure it out till I googled her. If she would of brought it up it would of been an instant vote for her.

I remember meeting the woman that did the dark mistress voice in dungeon keeper, she was a little blonde lady, absolutely nothing like the character but when she did her impressions, i feel in love with her lol

XSX 29 Watts would be a long way out for standby requirement of 0.5 W, maybe it wont get any energy stars.

Maybe thats why ps5 boots from cold , you cant leave it switched on ? Not too sure how background down loading would meet 0.5 Watts

Naughty Dog has two teams working in parallel though, and you have no clue what you're saying.

Naughty Dog has a production team and a pre-production team. They gave up the idea of having two full teams in parallel during the development of The Last of Us 2013

I assume in this case quick resume and equivalents would fall under one of those 'active' modes? So 29W would be OK?

The odd thing about quick resume is I think it was stated that it works even from a full power down/unplug? So what uses 29W if not the quick resume feature?

Now I'm wondering if the person is getting the console and the cake, or .. just the cake. I mean.. If just the cake, we know it's because the cake is a lie.

Maybe a stand-by mode that stays offline? Jim Ryan said they could suspend gameplay and stay at 0.5W

Aww I hadn't played that game but it's always fun to meet voice actors. Ms zann's normal voice is very close to rogue just aged more. I do all kinds of impressions pretty well from reading to the kids in voices over the years. None of them are attractive to my wife though haha. Except maybe honey addict Winnie the Pooh just cause it makes her laugh. Something about Winnie the Pooh talking about living the crack head life for honey is just a turn on for her.

Ain't no rumble my friend. Haptic feedback. According to people that have played the Astro PS5 demo, you can tell the difference between metal, sand, and plastic surfaces. Also, adaptive triggers. Am I excited? Yup. I get why people would traditionally turn off rumble, but this ain't no simple shake your controller up nonsense.

Yup this is

Just not worth playing at launch if you have a next gen console. Big fuck up I think.

This is how I feel. If you have a Ps5/ sx it won't be worth getting and just wait for nextgen copy. I'm going back to Witcher 3 since I didn't complete dlcs.

Loved rogues voice, then again i love the Rogue and gambit story so much from the days of the cartoons.

I can most of the cast from Topcat pretty well including officer dibbles, i think its something i picked up as a young kid, used to make my mum laugh so much with those impressions.

I also do a mean Nelson Mandela impersonation,
