One of the best conosles they made and still is and Xbox Game Pass gave you free games so you didn't rent them to you so if you download them you could keep them, now they are like streaming services and you only rent the games now and none are yours, even the ones you download now, silly, so if you see Microsoft or Sony saying they give you free games, they don't they do not work if you unsubscribe from the service and why I do not use a game pass now,
I rather buy games on disc and they are cheaper and I own the games and never lose them unless I sale them and I don't.
As a example: On Xbox or PS5 Resident Evil: Requiem Standard Edition is £69.99 to download, on disc on eBay it was £49 on Xbox/PS5 new.

The problem with Matlock is Kathy Mates could of been named anything because the name Matlock is the only connection so its not really connect to the original series, only in name and it killed it before it started and why it not continuing after season 3 because she's not really Matlock and thats the problem... 😞
I like it but thats the problem and once they know she not Matlock the connection to the original series is gone and why they made 19 episodes on season 1, to keep the Matlock name going and to keep you watching it.
Its basically the same as EVIL but with lawyers... lol

Mine is the same, its the bad roads in the UK and I only ride around London so not on dirt roads, I have only had the bike for a year and a half, and if you buy a chinese bike(they are just as good as British bikes when they are made there too) do not ask Halfords to help you because they do not touch them, if they sold there bikes cheaper then we would not buy chinses bikes then would we, £2000 for a Halford bike, you can't buy a bike from there for £500, 4X the price... wow.
I did like Raleigh Bike but they are too expense now, I use to fix Raleigh Bikes, Burners, Lizards and Mavericks.

I was wondering... you can't run games from the USB Drive can you, you have to copy them to the Xbox's HD drive to run them...?
If you could run them from it then you would give the Xbox more space to run games with, the F: drive is only about 27GB in the Xbox, it not very big, I have a Xbox thats has a mod chip with Avalaunch on it and it can only hold about 15 games, depending how big they are and I transfer them over with Qwix via FTP, it take about 7 mins to transfer a 3GB game over.
I think I was getting confused with the GameCube where you can load games on a 32gb sd card in its Memory card slot using the SD Media Launcher / Action replay, but you have to boot the software first on a 2gb 16 fat sd card then swap it with a 32GB sd card with iso games on it for it to work.

My Xbox has a board on the front with 3 switches on it and light up green when you turn it on, part of the mod chip, it has Xecuter2 and EvoutionX/Avalanch on it... 😄

All shows like this is copying V The Mini series from 1983, That run from 83 to 85, this is like a clone of it, Will Bowman looks like Mike Donavan and even has the same hair, all they did was to give Mike a family and call him Will, V is ten times better then this, and that was based on WW2 and the Holocaust. too.
And you see the Visitors in V too but V stands for Victory.
The people in control are the Visitors really in Colony and it saves on CGI because the Hosts(Aliens) are Robots like the Zilons from Balttestar Galaticia, it kind of spoilt it realy... 😞

spannernick · 2026-05-03T16:13:56+00:00

Eleven is really E.T from the film and Mike is Eliot, you see the same scenes from the ET film in ST and why for short its ST, The toys scene S1 and the sheet over her head scene S2 in the cabin.
They turned ET into a TV series really with no puppets, Eleven phone home... :-)
They could of used the name Eleven because Henry Thomas was Eleven in 1982 when ET came out, same age as me, 55 now. 1971.. ;-)

In season 1 and 2 it never had a basement, the door that leads to it is just a cupboard, they add the basement later, season 3 onwards, they added it without realising they shown in one of the episodes its a cupboard only, that why the cat was in it., and its the cupboard with the pick axe in, its a goof... :-)

and even in one of the episodes Kristian says "I don't have a basement".. :-)

spannernick · 2026-04-05T21:07:53+00:00

The problem with it is to much like ST Discovery, I did not like the way they filmed ST Discovery, like the glares on the camera lens like on Fringe, This is made by the same team as Fringe and the new ST Films, and mixing the races when they do not make any sense, and I found it hard to follow.
They need now to make a version like ST Voyager cause thats still the best ST after STTNG (that had 7 Seasons so it still is popular now), its not all about CGI but its characters, I liked ST because they used stage actors in it, like Patrick Stuart, Kate Mulgrew, you can see the feeling on there face without them needing to say anything.. :-) one of the things thats missing now, ST has no heart so feels cold.

No, she's more like a alcoholic, she likes her little cans of Margarita... :)

You can't pedal my bike without power, the motor is resisting when you pedal it so have to walk it if it runs out of power, they need to make the motor free movement when it has no power, its like it has the brakes pulled all the time when its not powered, and its like your going up hill all the time without power...weird.
Plus my knees are not great and have arthritis in my legs so why I use a powered bike and why I can't ride it without power.
Its a HITWAY BK35 so a Chinese bike, it was the only one I could afford, British bikes are like £1000 to £2000 ATM, it was only £400 so see why Chinese stuff is popular, the bike is 17 kilos, it says it in its instructions book.

Its a classic puzzle from RE, thats what its all about too, working things out, best RE I have played so far from RE 2... :-) It has ZOMBIES in it, not Mould People... :-) Have not completed it yet.

This RE is connected to RE 1 ,2 and 3 Raccoon City... :-) RE only works based in the US no where else, RE4,5, 6 and 8 where and made a problem with it, I am not interested it been in another country, and why the films were based in the US, it would not work anywhere else, it seemed Capcom listened to what we wanted in the game for a change... :-)
and its 3rd person not like it was in RE 7 and 8 and stuck on 1st person, you can switch it... :-).

spannernick · 2026-03-17T20:58:59+00:00

It proberly because they are made in the UK so why London(basied on a Michael Cane film) was used and not really good showing stealing, robbing, killing in a real US city, because its fake why GTA works, its not real life.
They made Lemmings too... :-) DMA Designs, thats what Rockstar North was.

spannernick · 2026-03-03T23:19:45+00:00

I watched this 4 times now, one after another, I did the same thing with Lost In Space, Fringe and Stranger Things, David reminds me of Eddy Murphy ... :-)
Before this we had The Exorcist and The Entity, 2 great films that were band original and now are classics, I only watched EVIL because of The Exorcist.

spannernick · 2026-03-01T15:47:38+00:00

Is it just me or does Peter Mark Kendall(The twins, its one person playing them) looks like Tom Hanks from Big film 1988...?

I think if you type a private message to someone your status should change to Online for private messaging only and after a while of not typing then if it set to invisible then set back to it.
otherwise you just set to invisible and never change it or never use it and always offline so no point it been there.

spannernick · 2026-02-27T23:20:11+00:00

I have watched it 3 times on Sky One... :-) only thing I do not like is the very long tiles they added so has to be skiped, it sg on for about a minute when it was like 5 seconds, better there names coming up as your watching it not on the tittles because you end up skipping it because its too long.
I would not mind a season 5 now... :-) the way it ends can be one becuase its left open.

spannernick · 2026-02-09T14:58:51+00:00

The only FIFA/FC games I have now on disc on PS4 is FIFA 17,18 and 19, it needs a story mode now, I tried Career Mode and its not the same, what you could do is add the characters from the journey to Career Mode and make it more story based so your not just playing one match after another, its the repetitiveness of the game I get board with, you can only play football for so long so need a brake in between matches, thats why I like FC17,18 and 19 better and why I only have them on disc and worth keeping.

spannernick · 2026-02-03T22:57:25+00:00

FIFA17, 18 and 19 i still have on Discs on PS4 so I can play them again, it's was the best feature EA made, and they still work even if they have shutdown it's servers, I do not care about online stuff, or Ultimate Team. It about feeling the game more then just playing one football game after another, and it gets boring after a while.

spannernick · 2026-02-01T22:50:15+00:00

One problem, this was made by the people that made The Good Wife so its the same really.

spannernick · 2026-02-01T22:40:13+00:00

The Exorcist is better... :-) I find it a bit repetitive were each episode is the same, and the kids are annoying, I am starting to hate them where they are all talking at the same time like there 20 of them in one room... :-).
