"Who here is old enough to know who Tom Petty is?" I like that they say that in jest and don't go on some dumb rant about xyz generation, which is how I imagine that would play out today. I do love the banter in between songs; I've always enjoyed live recordings as long as the band can play close to how they sound recorded. 

Plus, the whole thing sounded very 90s, which appeals to me. Starting to think I must have heard some of their stuff in a Kevin Smith film or two. 

I like the Tom Petty version as well. 

Listened.

Not big on the N*Sync version, cause it sounds like so much 90s R&B that just sort of fades in the background for me. To each his own of course, it's just not my style. I still remember liking the "Magic Carpet Ride" song that is actually in the movie Aladdin, then finding out the R&B version in the credits is what got a lot of the air play and thinking, "But why?!"

The Chris Cross version (ha!) is a bit more my speed, cause it sounds like something Chris Pratt's character in Guardians of the Galaxy might listen to and it's just relaxing. In fact, I'd say the N Sync version lost me around the point the Chris Cross version grew on me. 

I can see how you'd like both though.

Hope ya feel better. 

It got panned by critics, but seems like some enjoy it. 

Good luck with the sales thing I don't fully understand!

And yeah, that game is one I immediately remembered seeing when the Switch release was announced, but I never played it. I miss mid-tier games like that being more common. 

I remember Splinter Cell looking so real when it came out. 

You scared me. I thought the review had been posted early by mistake again. lol

I would have thought past years were more crazy. Booth babes and such. lol

The reason I'm not excited about new hardware is more because of, as in 2006, the cost to run it at its best/intended quality. I skipped the consoles that came out in '05/'06 because what was the point without also upgrading to an HDTV I couldn't afford when I was already pushing it with the console itself. 4KTVs aren't quite inexpensive enough for me to care just yet, especially with my backlog. 

Having said that, I've been pretty amazed by some of the graphics this generation, so I wouldn't rule out being amazed by something in the next. I still remember thinking PS2 was the only step left before real-life graphics, so it's all relative to me.

I'll have to listen later.
